The South Pars/North Dome field is a natural-gas condensate field located in the Persian Gulf. It is by far the world’s largest natural gas field, with ownership of the field shared between Iran and Qatar. According to the International Energy Agency, the field holds an estimated 1,800 trillion cubic feet of in-site natural gas.
President Trump is not happy about Israel’s unilateral decision to strike at the Pars gas field; however, pay attention to what Trump diplomatically describes as the motive:
[TRUTH SOCIAL] – “Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen.
Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility.”
“NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar – In which instance the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before.
I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction because of the long-term implications that it will have on the future of Iran, but if Qatar’s LNG is again attacked, I will not hesitate to do so. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
The joint economic relationship over the Pars gas field is part of the connective tissue between Iran and Qatar and underpins why Qatar has always been an intermediary for all issues of deconfliction that surround the U.S and Iran.
Factually Qatar was always the mediator, and within that mediation relationship the USA used Qatar as the bank to receive the confiscated funds Obama delivered when he lifted sanctions. There are hundreds of examples of the USA using Qatar as the intermediary for Iran policy, just as there are hundreds of citations and examples available for Qatar supporting the Muslim Brotherhood.
It is only recently, very recently, like only in the era of Donald Trump as U.S. President, when Qatar started pulling away from a very friendly relationship with Iran. So recently, that for the past 15-months, since long before it even made sense, CTH has been calling attention to this weird Qatar -vs- Israel division dynamic within USA domestic politics.
Then this happens….
The United States and Israel are working together on the targeting and military objectives of Operation Epic Fury. But, for some unknown reason the United States did not know Israel was going to strike the Qatar Pars gas field? Interesting.
President Trump assigns the motive for the Israeli attack as “out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East.” However, Israel has another, perhaps opportunistic motive, worth billions.

Israel is set to achieve record natural gas production in 2026, with expansion projects in the Leviathan and Tamar fields expected to push total output above 3 billion cubic feet per day (cfd) for the first time ever. According to the experts, the Chevron (NYSE:CVX) operated fields are expected to add a combined 600 million cfd in the coming months, with the bulk of the extra gas piped to Egypt after the removal of bottlenecks in the export pipeline network. Israel’s gas output in 2025 is estimated to have dropped slightly from a record 2.587bn cfd achieved in 2024 as fields were shut-in during Israel’s conflict with Iran in June.
Chevron and its partners NewMed Energy (OTCPK:DKDRF) and Ratio Energies (OTCMKTS:RTEXF) confirmed a $2.36 billion Final Investment Decision (FID) in January 2026 to expand the Leviathan field, increasing production capacity from 12 bcm to roughly 21 bcm annually. The expansion involves drilling three additional offshore wells, installing new subsea infrastructure and enhancing the platform’s processing capabilities. The expansion aims to significantly increase natural gas exports to Egypt and Jordan. The companies managed to boost production at the Tamar field to increase capacity from approximately 1.1 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) to 1.6 bcf/d in 2025.
Debottlenecking of the export pipeline network is enabling higher volumes to reach Egypt, helping to fill their domestic supply gapsKey projects, including upgrading the Ashdod-Ashkelon pipeline and constructing the Nitzana pipeline (expected to be operational by 2028). The projects are designed to boost exports to Egypt and Jordan by 1.8 billion cubic feet per day. The 46-km offshore natural gas Ashdod–Ashkelon pipeline is undergoing upgrades scheduled for completion in the current year to handle increased capacity. Approximately 55% of the gas flows through the offshore Eastern Mediterranean Gas (EMG) pipeline, while 45% is transported via the Arab Gas Pipeline through Jordan.
[…] The Leviathan and Tamar gas fields are key Israeli offshore natural gas assets, with current capacities of approximately 12 billion cubic meters (BCM) per year and 11 BCM per year, respectively. Both fields are expanding, with Leviathan projected to increase to 21–23 BCM annually to meet rising regional demand and exports. Still, the Middle East oil giants have potential for higher gas production. (SOURCE)
Did Israel bomb the collaborative Iran-Qatar gas field “out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East.” Or did Iseael just diminish an LNG competitor?
President Trump is not happy with this one Bibi.
We’ll keep watching…
For all those saying that Bibi manages Trump, this proves he does not. Trump will not be managed by foreign countries. My two cents.
The Israelites killed 34 sailors and wounded more than 170 more when they deliberately bombed the USS LIberty during the 1967 war.
Israel is like any other of our fake allies, only smarter. They try to use us more than they try to help us.
However, they have their uses. This is why Trump is using them to kill leaders. They can react quicker from where they are.
Did you know Japan once attacked Pearl Harbor?
Just checking.
And here I thought I was a student of history, but one learns something every day. So, Japan was a U.S. ally at the time of its attack on Pearl Harbor? As you say, I’m just checking.
J
When did the alliance with Israel start?
Was it in 1948 when the US embargoed arms to Israel while they were fighting for independance?
Or was it in 1956 when UK France and Israel took the Suez canal from Egypt due to ongoing blockades, and Eisenhower made em give it back and leave the sinai?
Or was it in 1967 when the peacekeeping force between Israel and the Sinai saw the Egyptian buildup ans said f this, we are leaving.
In doing so thy left Israel completely exposed to the Egyptians and their USSR supplied army.
Those were just headfakes to lull us non-students of history.
Yep, and we nuked them!
And everybody got over it, and moved on in life. The sane anyway.
And they started rebuilding 1 year later. All the scare tactics on radiation fallout for 500 years.
We actually helped Japan rebuild.
Many of America’s finest invaded, died & defeated the Japanese and Germans … then the tax dollars of WeThePeople rebuilt both countries.
Israelis
I believe that was an agreement between LBJ and Israel, that if the war was going badly for them they could take out the Liberty which would allow the USA to enter the battle. Israel jumped the gun. Twice flights of fighters from a US carrier 300 miles away were sent to assist the Liberty and twice they were called back. William McGonagle, the Captain of the Liberty, was given the Medal of Honor in the Virginia Shipyard instead of the White House where every other MoH was presented. LBJ just was afraid of him.
God Gave Moses the Mosaic laws for the Israelites to live by and they abandoned them shortly afterwards.
Is Fake is no different then any country or politician in the Cash line and Is Fake is the number one welfare recipient of our tax dollars thanks to the compromised politicians in DC.
And Is Fake removes Americans without thinking twice.
It can’t be BiBi, isn’t he dead? Just kidding.
I think this might be a ploy to ramp up and undermine Trump
numerous websites saying BB2…did pass away…
The internet is full of lies and half truths……some web sites are just plan offal.
It’s hard to say…but the timelines and videos are pretty compelling. Don’t ya think?
Trump has no problem lashing out at Netanyahu now that he’s been dead for a week or so.
Links please?
……….
“Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.”
If Bibi were dead it would be all over the major news networks…it couldn’t be hidden and only show up on a few obnoxious propaganda eb sites.
The people who say Bibi manages Trump likely know it’s just another lie. The whole Trump is Putin’s puppet was just more of the same. If it weren’t for lies the rats wouldn’t have a thing to say.
They can’t help themsleves.
Except, perhaps, “help, we’re drowning”.
Torba says, “In other words…”
President Trump is a real president and loves America.
What do you mean? Who got their way in this matter? Israel took matters into their own hands and did not consult Trump. If I were him I’d tell them to buzz off.
I really wish we were not in bed with the Israeli government. Their interests are not our interests.
You get fleas…and blame.
U get fleas. Antisemite!
“ Their interests are not our interests.”
So your motives in life are in everyone else’s interests?
You don’t ever think of yourself?
Folly.
DO you think that the favor that President Trump has at the moment would be manifesting if not for the strong support of Israel? Foolish foolish thinking!!
This kind of rhetoric truly angers me because it shows the PRIDE and the arrogance of those who think that this current American administration has no conditions for the blessings.
You mean the Israelis back stabbed President Trump to help the Democrats win the Midterm elections in six months? That’s a shocker! 🤔
So, democrats did nothing but help Iran for 47 years and now Israel now thinks having them in the majority is a benefit?
Look at who votes 90% Democrat and New York City has a Muslim Mayor? Makes no sense except more chaos and destruction.
RE: Last sentence. The two questions are not mutually exclusive.
What did George Washington warn us about entangling alliances?
There were reports early on, seemingly confirmed by Rubio, that we went to war with Iran because Israel was going to attack Iran…putting Israel in charge of America.
They tried to walk that back, but it’s pretty clear that Israel has its own agenda and is trying to widen the conflict.
I wouldn’t doubt there are self-sabotaging, global factions within the Israeli government working in tandem with their counterparts within the US government. I also wouldn’t doubt that President Trump is very keen to sort the wheat from the chaff on both sides of this equation.
We’ll see what happens.
Obama fed iran stacks of cash as did biden.iran was propted up by obama.
we are the peanut gallery.. remember clarabell?
We already know what happens. Last summer, when we bombed Iran, I predicted we’d be at war with Iran within a year. Or at the very least, the “hours away from a nuke” bridgades would be back in short order to tell us that a full war with Iran is the only way. This is all utterly predictable. The main goal of bombing Iran last summer was to soften up Trump and the anti forever war coalition to the idea of a total war with Iran.
I appreciate that Trump is not his predecessors, but 99% of the government that existed before 2016 exists today. And they have their own agenda. As does Israel. Both want US ground troops in Iran. As do the Iranians, Russians, and Chinese.
And there are already leaks that the US Marines are sending 2,500 Marines (USS Tripoli) to the region that nobody has denied that I’m aware of. That means the ground war is on tap. Other than the weak proclamations that we’ve killed this or that Iranian leader (who cares? they have a decentralized military), there are zero indications that the Iranians are going to do anything other than try to get US troops into their country.
Then we’ll get a US/Russia/China/Iran war of attrition similar to Europe.
Europe is now saying “not our war” presumably because of all the people in the USA saying the same about Ukraine. That’s a fair point, but that means we pull all our money out of Ukraine, period, today. But that won’t happen because everyone knows that taking out Iran is simply another step towards war with Russia directly.
BS.
#1: Iran went to war against us 4 decades ago. As well as Israel.
#2: the timing of the initiation of Epic Fury was the opportunity to kill the Ayatollah and many of his evil subordinates.
#3: “widen” what conflict? Iran and its proxies are the targets. Nobody else.
You’re parsing Rubio here. The chatter is that Israel was ready for another strike against Iran and that intelligence indicated that Iran planned to preemptively attack Israeli and U.S. targets. Rather than sustain the casualties from a preemptive attack, and be accused of being asleep at the switch (and the Dems in congress and the media would still be beating that drum if it had happened) Trump decided to attack Iran first.
That’s what Rubio was getting at. He’s one of the best spokesmen the administration has, but if even he couldn’t make the timeline clear then allow he is only human.
J
You just made my point. The bonus point you made was that Rubio really couldn’t find another way to say it that wouldn’t make it sound even worse.
After overnight heavy bombing of Gulf states and also…BEN GURION AIRPORT… Middle East will not be same as before this war and to some extend whole world…. grave mistake after fall of EVIL EMPIRE(1991) we should concentrate on our western hemisphere -MONROE DOCTRINE… and not to be involved with so call “allies” in EU/NATO and …….hopefully something positive come up from this horrendous war… TOTAL RESET OF FOREIGN INVOLMENT …YALTA #2…new state J U D E A ……?????
Israel is the CIA/MI6’s ME puppet. Has been from inception. Expect the CIA/MI6 to sabotage Trump in this war endeavor – that I disagree with for reasons like this, what he cannot control – and get him sucked into a quagmire he cannot ignore. Distracting him from taking out the much larger threat to us, the US than Iran – The Swamp enemy within. Iran cannot and will never harm me as badly as this corrupt and wicked government Swamp has and will.
And The Swamp just used their puppet Israel to protect themselves from any accountability Trump may have ever tried. Don’t imagine for a moment this will be the only time in this war…of choice.
I mean what could go wrong in this type of operation. Major escalations have started over way less destruction
Gavrilo Princep failed in his first attempt to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand, and repaired around the corner to have a coffee.
Then, as Fate would have it, the Archduke’s carriage was rerouted from its original path into the street where stood Princep who had a second opportunity, and this time didn’t miss.
Presto!! WWI…
No prior military operations. Just a powder keg waiting to explode with Princep as the lit match.
Yes, you are correct.
And how, pray tell, would it be possible to take down the swamp within if Trump had not first taken down the entities that make the CIA/M16 evil ambitions possible?
The USAID NGO Cartel Trafficking networks provide the money and power that make it possible. Wars are about logistics, supply lines funding and power.
Either you can not see this and need to open your eyes or you are purposely promoting the age ol’ propaganda canard, “The war is lost! Go home!”
President Trump just keeps pulling back the layers , exposing the swamp . Not just here but worldwide .
Its Glorious !
Per Google AI
“There is no credible, publicly verified evidence from official sources or mainstream reporting to support the claim that Israel is a “puppet” of the CIA or MI6. In fact, intelligence relationships between the US/UK and Israel are characterized by a complex mix of close cooperation, shared intelligence, and independent national interests that sometimes conflict.”
The AI is a reference point. I am aware that AI (any and all of them) are not to be trusted absolutely.
That said, I am not buying what you are selling that “ Israel is the CIA/MI6’s ME puppet. ”
I’m pretty sure this is your opinion, and I am also pretty sure you don’t have any proof to back up your assertion.
AI as a reference is at best, no reference at all – especially when engineered by Google.
For now, AI engines are “playing nice” – creating an illusion of truth and objectivity. We know Google has always played nasty with search engine rankings and other dirty tricks like demonetizing sites like this. That is child’s play compared to the power Google will have to shape misinformation with AI.
Don’t be evil. Google hates competition.
Lolololololol! “‘AI’ says”
Lolololololol! ROTFLMFAO!!
Come back when you’re capable of original thought, critical thinking and analysis on your own. You just humiliated yourself.
But I’ll give you a breadcrumb just because I’m sporting. John Dulles. First CIA Director. Biggest advocate for creating the state of Israel following WWII. A Jew-hater. Along with others in the Truman administration and UK counterparts. Not created as atonement for Nazi atrocities, western indifference during Third Reich.
Dulles, Rockefeller, Prescott Bush all had side dealings with Hitler and Nazi officials before and *during* WWII. Supported Fascism. Prescott Bush, patriarch of two presidents, became known as “Hitler’s Banker” in 1943 – two years into America’s entry to WWII. Helped make sure Hitler had money to pay for the bombs, bullets, tanks and planes killing American GI’s. And pay for the concentration camps and poison gas to enslave and murder Jews.
Dulles became Bush’s and Rockefeller’s lawyer after the war to get their dirty blood money from Hitler released from US custody after it was seized for Trading With the Enemy. Buried Prescott’s American GI-blood-soaked hands involvement so thoroughly he was able to become a US Senator in 1952. Less than a decade after his treachery was discovered.
Dulles. A geopolitical strategist, Nazi supporter, saw usefulness in capitalizing on Jewish guilt to prop up a US/UK puppet in the ME. Which also happens to possess Haifa, deep water best port for exporting ME oil to Europe. Pipelines had already been partially constructed. Until Arab nations saw what Israeli ownership would do to their profits and control of global oil supply.
There’s your breadcrumb. Now go do your own research…if you’re even capable without using Lololololololol “AI!”
I openly ID’ed my source and recognized it’s questionable.
You mocked it, then went on a diatribe criticizing me and my information source.
You then went on a rant, tying various politicians and J F Dulles, but you failed to acknowledge other points of view that contradict your point of view.
Are you being dishonest? Or just showing your bias where Israel is concerned?
Are you purposely ignorant that others do not hold to your view of history?
I make no claims about the Jews or J. Foster Dulles’s relationship or beliefs about the Jews because I don’t know his views where Israel is concerned. Not in the aftermath of WW2 or the next 10 years after the war.
You might be interested in this May 14, 1953—11 a.m. Department of State memo:
https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1952-54v09p1/d13
I did a bit of research. I’m making no claim to being an expert in this area, and from what I can tell, neither are you.
ANYONE sourcing ‘AI’ to cast aspersions on the veracity of another, even with a throwaway modifier like “questionable” attached deserves to be mocked…relentlessly.
Only grandma’s rules on CTH kept me from additional insults you deserve for that.
I gave you a breadcrumb. You figure it out from there. Nobody is going to spoonfeed you uncomfortable truths. And it’s a waste of time. A lifetime of indoctrination + feelings about this are what makes you impervious to facts that contradict. Your characterization of my breadcrumb as a ‘diatribe’ and ‘rant’ is proof enough that an anthology of facts that prove my assertion beyond a reasonable doubt will also meet with the same characterization, and isn’t worth my time or space here.
I’ve shared with you enough to pursue true knowledge if it is really truth that you seek. Do it on your own time, when you are ready to be made uncomfortable. Only then will your mind be able to question all you think you know and are comforted by.
Good luck with that!
I use Google Gemini AI all the time and found it incredibly accurate and reliable. In fact, it’s free!
You will be called all kinds of names and accused of all kinds of things because of your post, but many people understand, and agree with, your points!
We need to be able to have adult conversations on this subject. Far too many people have reflexively taken a side and refuse to discuss any other possibilities!
Hi VikingMom.
I agree about the adult conversations on here.
I guess we are both trolls. 😂 Maybe even Sundance. 🙄
Your concerns are noted.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Agreed. My Teamism. The pathway for all who seek to manipulate the masses. The ability to shift positions on issues based on who is leading our “team’s” position.
It is how we stay intellectually honest and avoid the traps of the manipulators. How many today now regret supporting the Patriot Act after supporting “our team” in 2001? Or the whole damn Iraq war for that matter? “Our team,” Bush led. We trusted. My Teamism.
How many regret supporting Citizens United, booed Obama for dressing down John Roberts? Obama warned multinational corporations and foreign elite would gain too much control of our elections as a result of the ruling. “Our Team” took offense to the lack of decorum in a SOTU speech directed at SCOTUS. Turns out Obama told a rare truth. Elections are now controlled by foreign actors, multinational corporations and oligarchs who hate MAGA. Who made 2020 happen a decade after the decision Obama warned about.
My Teamism. We trusted our “team.”
We’re usually pretty good at spotting lies and deceptions from “their team.” We’re most vulnerable to, let our guard down for lies and deceptions from “our team.” And The Swamp Uniparty knows this.
For me, if Biden did what Trump did, if War Pig Nikki Haley did what Trump did I guar-an-damn-tee you 99% of this board would be up in arms over it. But, My Teamism.
We must avoid being mentally lazy and trusting of our “team.” Too many are. Even Treepers.
Words directly from Is Fake Benny himself in 1990.
“America is a Golden calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it piece by piece until there is nothing left but the world’s largest welfare state that we will create and control….
This is what we do to countries we hate. We destroy them very slowly”
Benjamin Is Fake you know who
Do you have a link for this? Would be good to show the world if true.
Israel’s War On Terror is not against sunni Al-Qaeda &ISIS it against Shia Iran. They have done a fantastic job against Schumer & Co’s Iran and Hamas terrorist project. Watch for the Friday nite fights in congress between the dialectic theater props. Go Israel
Wait and see. Need to end this like the 6 day war and move on. Longer it goes the more problems we will have. Trump will need to pull the chain or Israel will be a mad dog
This should stop only when Iran unconditionally surrenders.
……
Kind of hard for anyone to continue the argument against folks saying the government of Israel is filled with a bunch of anti human self serving jerks. Actions speak louder than Shapiro and Levin.
A biblically illiterate comment. It was always a minority of Abraham’s descendants that believed, a brief reading of a few chapters of any book in the bible will bear that out.
The present situation is not new or unique. Nevertheless, God’s one sided irrevocable promise to bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel stands/will stand for eternity. Not because they deserve it, any more than we deserved to have the King of the Jews die for us when we were still sinners, but because God does not change. And he understands things that we don’t (and can’t).
The question is “Who does the NT say is “Israel?” after the time of Christ. Gentiles have been grafted onto the “vine” and those who reject Christ have been cut off the “vine”.
God chose Israel this whole entire thing is to make Israel realize they missed Messiah the 1st. Time this time they will realize they missed him and will cry out for his return and Jesus will return for all to see.
Believers are not grafted in. The Church is made up of One Man, neither Jew nor Gentile. After the 7 years of “Jacob’s Trouble”, Israel will have an
Earthly Kingdom on earth and will rule over the nations. In this church age, anyone truly saved by Jesus Christ through their faith in Him, will inherit a Heavenly kingdom. The two are separate. God has paused Israel’s program due to their unbelief and rejection of their Messiah Jesus Christ. The rapture of the Church is coming where she will be in Heaven. Then God will deal with Israel during “Jacob’s Trouble” here on earth. Read Thessalonians, Daniel and the Book of Revelation.
May I add God chose them and is true to his every word. He will sustain them proving he is God above all and to preserve HIS GOOD NAME. Not theirs.
So many do not know Gods word and shall perish for that Eternity is a long time. I pray for all to understand before its too late however it is FREE WILL for all God Bless.
There is a difference between the Israelis, nation of Israel and the Israeli government. Ignoring that is detrimental. Would the folks here argue that the Joe Biden regime truly represented the people of America? Of course not. Then why bring a biblical conversation to a practical political one?
Perhaps because they might just be related?
No one can say for sure one way or the other.
Time will tell who is proven correct and who is proven incorrect.
I believe the end result is firmly in God’s extremely capable hands.
There is much discussion about the benefits to the usa of having an available supply of oil and lng to supply customers worldwide while we make a fortune. I think such a view was expressed even here in a post yesterday. Very self serving. And that doesnt even begin to address the outrageous and stupid suugestion that israel wants to sell more gas. Perhaps its to deny iran income. I think president trump made just that point in his latest tweet. But tes, israel(full of jews u know) are only in this for themoney. Thank u sundance for the outrageous red meat
Aren’t you supposed to be guarding a bridge somewhere?
Or maybe hangin’ out underneath…
If i respond to you in the manner u did to me my comment will be stricken or i will be banned, but yours will remain. Such is the nature of things.
Agreed
Extremely informative! People that read GP might as well delete it! I have nothing against Israel, but will this mean the US can stop funding it? Time to make them register as lobbyists! Of course do nothing Congress won’t budge! According to The Kuhner Report, we’re still funding Afghanistan to the tune of 40mil/bil (?) a week since Obama was in office. If true, Congress needs to go! How dumb are these idiot politicians! The bills they pass are so huge, they not only don’t read them, they can’t remember what’s in them. All foreign funding needs to end, a simple single bill to defund it all!
AIPAC vs CAIR lobbies fights in Congress are legendary
A bill to halt the “trillions at stake” passed by the same greedy swamp rats *installed* by global corporatists via election fraud?
Good luck with that!
We must first get the ‘SAVE AMERICA Act’ passed so we can finally *elect* those Constitutionalists who would fairly represent the will of the American people.
The South Pars field which is in Iran’s section is not used for exports. Due to sanctions it is under developed for exporting LNG. Eliminating Iran’s portion of the South Pars would bring yet more pressure to bear on Iran’s own energy sources is a potential reason Israel struck at part of the field.
Reuters:
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/irans-main-oil-gas-production-infrastructure-2026-03-18/
“Iran’s gas production totalled 276 billion cubic metres in 2024, with 94% consumed in Iran, according to data by the Gas Exporting Countries Forum.”
“With domestic demand growing and the South Pars field expected to decline in output, Iran may shift from being a potential exporter to an LNG importer in the coming years—potentially sourcing from Qatar due to proximity.
Recent Iranian attacks on Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG facility (March 2, 2026) have further disrupted global LNG markets, but these attacks have not affected Iran’s own export capabilities—since it has none. ”
Seems like if Israel is worried about competition in sales of LNG it is looking way into the future just my humble opinion.
“Netanyahu stabs Trump in the back. Trump is surprised!”
Lolz
There are trillions of $ at stake.
Where Chevron goes, trouble follows?
Where Chevron goes you can be assured that a 50-year plan in Washington preceded it. In the case of offshore Israel, I suspect that Gaza is part of that plan.
👍
The rabid dog took the leash off when they were all to participate
President Trump assigns the motive for the Israeli attack as “out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East.” However, Israel has another, perhaps opportunistic motive, worth billions.
I’m going with Israel did it for the money.
Blue vs Green dialectics
Axios, AP, WSJ, citing senior and US officials state the strike was coordinated and approved by Trump admin. Notice it was small section, to demonstrate capability.
Why.
The gas fields supply 70% of Iran’s domestic natural gas which fuels 80-90% of the electricity. The gas powers petrochemical plants and the industrial defense base.
Axios, AP, WSJ, citing unnamed
senior andUS officials state …..Those guys never lie, right?
Now the media is truthful all of a sudden.
This is the infamous “ fog”…but to cite mockingbird media…🙄
At least we know what the powers that be want us to think.
Why not both! 😉
Quoting POTUS Trump: “Economic security is national security.”
Almost everyone is doing it for the money, IMO.
“I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction because of the long-term implications that it will have on the future of Iran,………
Trump may not have to. Given the suicidal nature of islam and the IRGC, what’s to stop a few diehards from destroying it themselves?
As Allied forces closed in, Hitler issued the “Nero Decree” (officially “Decree Concerning Demolitions in the Reich Territory”). It ordered the complete destruction of all infrastructure—factories, mines, bridges, railways, utilities, and supplies—so the enemy would inherit “scorched earth.” He explicitly rejected preserving anything for civilian survival.
in the case of Iran you are wrong….
Good to know that the IRGC mulluhs and zealots aren’t crazy afterall.👍👍
obviously 20,000 d chess.
What’s Trump gonna do about it.
It’s always about the money & the raw power that comes with it.
That’s true pretty much across the board in every country in the world and for mosts people in each and every one of those countries.
Money and power
Power and money
From primitive times right up to the present, this has been and will always be the way of the world.
Sex and greed, in other words.
Yep
raw power…banksters….
Israel is the picture of the saying ‘give them an inch and they’ll take a mile’. Not a good thing to exclude your only partner as they’re trying to achieve peace and, it seems, you’re out to achieve a power for yourself. Keep it up Israel and you may find you’ll have to look elsewhere for a friend.
President Trump assigns the motive for the Israeli attack as “out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East.”
Yeah! Israel has been the one causing all of the crap in the Middle East. What a tone deaf statement.
B O L O G N A
Yours is a perfect illustration of anti Semite propaganda.
Israel is the cause of all the crap?
How? By existing and becoming the focus of Muslim hatred since 1948?
It goes all the way back to Ishmael.
Cow pats.
I will double that
“It is only recently, very recently, like only in the era of Donald Trump as U.S. President, when Qatar started pulling away from a very friendly relationship with Iran. So recently, that for the past 15-months, since long before it even made sense, CTH has been calling attention to this weird Qatar -vs- Israel division dynamic within USA domestic politics.”
If you’re the special child, you don’t want any of the other kids sitting at the big table, especially ones with an interest in deescalation . It is plausible that Israel’s behavior is motivated as much by driving a wedge between the US and Qatar as it is motivated by natural gas production.
And if the President is upset- AGAIN- with Israel’s unilateral actions, perhaps Israel should experience some repercussions for those unilateral actions. It becomes more and more difficult to accept such statements as reflective of genuine anger when nothing is done about the behavior causing it.
So, I’m guessing we shouldn’t be believing the FBI’s front – the WSJ- when they tell us differently?, she sarcastically asks.
From Grok….
“Approved by the US”…am noting there is no identity linked to that “approved by the US”…AI falling short.
Don’t over look Genie Energy…
The president of its Israeli subsidiary is Effie Eitam.
Genie Energy’s Strategic advisory board is composed of: Dick Cheney since 2009 (former vice president of the United States),[3]Rupert Murdoch (media mogul and chairman of News Corp), James Woolsey (former CIA director), Larry Summers (former head of the US Treasury), Michael Steinhardt, Jacob Rothschild,[4][5] and Mary Landrieu, former United States Senator from Louisiana.
Just happen to be familiar with Tamar, Leviathan, Mari-B platforms.
Interesting?
Are you suggesting USA is unknowingly in a war that will benefit the names above?
That does not sit well.
I did a quick peruse of their website. They look like a typical old guard GOP mechanism to suck money out of the taxpayers. Green energy scam sectors to suck up taxpayer dollars, Rupert Murdoch to sell the scams, bankers to launder the money politicians. Some actual drilling and pipelines as well.
“Angry” Since they are mad at Qatar….. a banking dispute could be at play…. It over my head.
I am thinking Bibi is testing PDJT. I could be wrong?
This is the second time during this campaign that Israel has attacked Iran’s energy infrastructure without notifying and coordinating with the US first. The first being the refineries and storage tanks near Tehran that occurred a couple of weeks ago. 🤔
There is considerable evidence that the strikes were coordinated with the US
Those particular strikes were on infrastructure used exclusively by the Basij militia and IRGC was it not? If the reporting was accurate it was a major money maker for those connected to the Mullahs, and provided no economic benefit for the common Iranian citizen.
Please do enlighten us by providing that considerable credible evidence.
(Evidence, not assertions)
Well, one could also assert that it is an assertion that the U.S. didn’t know. If we really did not know, then our intelligence is dysfunctional.
The only evidence you can believe is President Trump’s reaction to the news and he was not happy. Everything else is fog of war.
He has been deliberately avoiding attacking Iranian infrastructure and only going after their ability to wage war, leadership, navy, airforce, missile systems etc.
He needs the energy infrastructure intact to help the new government (assuming the current gov. collapses) pay for the rebuilding. He doesn’t want a situation where he takes out everything, leaves it in total chaos and allows an ISIS type organization to fill the void as happened in Iraq.
Agreed
Bring on the Jew hate.
You mean break out the jew card…..fify
Our distinct reactions are interesting to me. Carry on.
You got your regime change…….
the first night of the war……
.
Now you have to negiotate…….
with Iran’s new leadership……
Just one problem there…….
Israel keeps killing the new leadership……
You need to get Netanyahu……
to heel.
Iran’s new leadership just keeps fighting.
Just more crazy fanatics wanting to create Armageddon.
So far, nary a sane leader in sight.
How hard would it be to surrender, turn over all highly enriched uranium, and stop wasting the country by mass producing weapons? To stop this 47 year old war?
Zealots are not rational Jim.
Until the mullahs are gone or don’t dare risk taking office……
Just curious Mohamed…but which new leader even HINTED at agreeing to the terms of surrender?
many websites saying ..he is …gone ?????
As long as they keep spouting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” they are going to continue to get whacked.
It’s a simple as that.
The truth is, none of us here in the Tree House is certain about any of the assertions being made by our fellow Treepers.
“Always follow the money”
~Rush Limbaugh
by the same token one should be careful about following the narrative.
Whose narrative?
There is more than one.
Power and money
Money and power
Have always made the world go round.
Iran stood up and took everything that the US did to them. They have survived. Very brave people
Lol, very funny statement, very funny. 🙂
Like the regime has a choice after blowing the negotiations. The people of Iran are not in danger so long as no collateral damage, its the regime that’s taking a beating.
The regime is no longer in control, each section and the military within that section is responding according to pre-targeting plans. Even the president (of Iran) is saying he is out of the loop and please don’t target him……
There was a chorus of voices saying “don’t start the war with Iran.” Now there are double the number of voices saying “stop the war before the job is finished.” We must answer them and say “we will finish the job!”
..it is a amazing to many ppl here wander why they do not give up as syria/lebanon/iraq/lybia/venezuela…Iranians are not spoiled Arabs…they will fight .. .. and pull all their toys in the fight … never ever underestimate your adversaries/enemies …..we and mini state did …saaaaad…
They fault Iraq to a standstill. Do you fear Jake Tapper too?
I pleaded with you “Don’t let me down, Bruuucccce!”
U let me down.
…and all the supreme leaders wanted was some electricity and running water for their poor long suffering citizens who they care for above all else…
Is BiBi taking orders from Lindsey Graham? This looks like a Graham play to me. Seems to me that Graham is influencing far too much of the action. He has visited Israel every two weeks according to a report I briefly glanced at? Sorry no link. He is potentially interfering in DoW action.
Mr. President, check the actions of your friend Lindsey.
Limpsey is getting back at Qatar Kelly for her comments about his crying couch buddy Tel Aviv Levin
will ms .linda and most of CONgre$$ get p*ss off and go fight behalf only friend in the Middle East……
Just as a refresher to all,
Trump is a businessman. He is willing to work with anyone on projects mutual interests. He is not “all in” on anyone because he realizes mutual interests in one area does not mean mutual interests in all areas. Example: we will work with Russia on energy flow. That does not mean we are “on their side”.
Stop using Disney movie thinking. The world is not made up of “good guys” and “bad guys”. It’s made up of nations pursuing their own interests. Sometimes those interests align and you work with that while it lasts.
Well said.
Qatar is the prime sponsor for the Muslim Brotherhood, is the prime funder of CAIR and other things, is prime funder of the madness on our university campuses, Antifa,BLM, Eric Swallwell, Ilhan Omar, other Congress critters, etc,etc,,,,,,I don’t see a downside for Israel bombing the piss out of Qatar
This was my thought as well. Iran doesn’t export much LNG but Qatar shares the same gas field and if the strikes were near the Qatar section it might effect their exports in the long term……and Qatar exports a lot of LNG.
The goal is to achieve peace through normalized economic and commercial relations. Killing Iran’s or Qatar’s industry is not going to help anything.
People seem to be ignorant of the objectives of this conflict.
1. Remove a regime that will not negotiate reasonably because of extremist ideology.
2. Allow Iran to return to normalized economic relations leading to prosperity and investment.
With Palestine and Iran removed as extremist faction, the middle east can enter a very strong building and growth era that benefits the world.
In the modern era, most wars are about the control of people and resources. Japan struck the United States in Hawaii in 1941 when FDR cut off oil supplies that was necessary to fuel Japan’s wars in East and Southeast Asia. Much of Hitler’s early military and political maneuvers were for the acquisition of resource rich regions of Europe, necessary to support the growth of the German military machine. So, it’s not surprising that the possibility of an attack that cripples a supply that Israel is prepared to step in and replace could be the motivation. However, Israel has many an axe to grind against the Iranian terror agents. As for Qatar, it’s a postage stamp state that requires careful positioning in order to avoid annihilation.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Israeli strike was intended to hit an important source of income for the Revolutionary Guards. According to Israeli and American officials, the attack was indeed coordinated with President Trump. The goal of the strike was to pressure Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The officials said that Trump believed Tehran had received the message and wanted to avoid further attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure.
Which “officials”.
Boy, this didn’t take long. I totally support the President wanting to liberate Iran from these terrorist sub-humans, but keeping an eye (tight leash) on Israel is important. They are squirrelly and not to be left to their own motivations (with our money). Israel gets an unknown (huge) amount of US aid every year and God only knows where it goes. The Israeli Secret Police start as much trouble around the free world as our own CIA does. This will be very interesting to watch. I have a bad feeling we’re gonna be up to our ears in this crap for a very long time.
Meanwhile, domestically, nothing is getting done. The GOP is on strike, Blonde is getting her nails done on a military base, and Patel is chugging beers with UFC fighters and hockey champs. Unbelievable.
Hogwash.
Perhaps
But then again
Perhaps not
Sundance, There is no way under the sun moon and stars that the US was not fully aware and approved the attack on the Iranian site. This was right after a phone call of Bibi and Trump and when Israel said it will help to handle the problem with the Strait of Hormuz. This was a symbolic attack to signal that “You mess with Hormuz, your oil will be fair game”.
Obviously Qatar was furious at the Iranian response and Trump is giving them a sophisticated lip service that on one hand threatens Iran, on another hand using the typical Iranian technique of saying “it’s not me it’s my proxy” and on another hand letting Qatar know that they are protected.
”The Qatari Vs the Israeli blocks of Influence”? You mean Qatar that sponsored Hamas and is hosting them? Qatar who is the financial wing of the Muslim Brotherhood? I did a whole work about the Brotherhood. It’s more sinister than it looks. It’s available if you want.
The bottom line is that on one hand there is economic stress about oil prices that the Iranians are counting on.
On the other hand almost all the income and salaries of the Iranian Regime comes from their oil sales.
So long as they pay salaries to their Revolutionary Guard and Basij (Internal Security Force), the regime will survive.
Therefore the possibility of US forces taking the Iranian oil (the Island) is on the table.
Shalom
David, I cannot say that I know all that is happening with the recent attacks on oil and gas infrastructure., not remotely.
The LNG infrastructure in Israel could just as easily be hit, so, for me it does not make sense for Israel to boldly hit competitors’ infrastructure. For that matter, not that we would, but the U.S. could hit Israel’s and leave one more less competitor to our LNG.
Others are saying similar to your position:
https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/73179
Peace
https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/73143
Thanks,
This whole premise that Israeli oil sales have anything to do with it is mistaken.
1. The sanctions on Iran is placing them at a completely different market. They are not competitors.
2. If you knew Israel and Israelis you would know that for us this is all about the existential threat that Iran is posing. There is nothing else to it. In facts if the regime falls it makes the Iranian gas become a competitor.
PS. The Israeli gas is not in competition with the Iranian. This is a mistake in the essay.
Israeli gas is already under contract with Egypt and is also destined to a European market that do not trade with Iran.
In fact if the Regime falls it makes the Iranian gas available to Europe and it is financially bad for Israel.
Appreciate your input on this, david, and was hoping you’d comment.
this is all very interesting… lots of 3d chess and all that.
thank you!
❤️
I appreciate your insights since you are close to what is going on…that said…Iran…this all started months ago, with the people protesting the economy, lack of jobs and high cost of food and the currency becoming worthless…..then being attacked by the Iranian police. And many killed…the people cried out to PDJT, for help…
Salaries for the RG and Basij…I guess they haven’t run out of OPM…(other people’s money)?….so who is funding their salaries? Do we know…or did i miss that somewhere?
Iranian oil money… a bigger issue than we here in America, thought or knew? And are the average Iranian people, safe right now, their version of the “forgotten men and women”?
God bless and keep all y’all safe.
Thanks. Yes you missed something. The vast majority of the salaries of the IRGC and Basij and government is from oil sales. Mainly to China. They use third party traders to bypass the sanctions.
It is doubtful if this regime will fall so long as they pay good salaries to their forces.
So the US is considering options, from attacking it to conquering it. There is a Marines Force on its way with means to take over their oil island. But this will be a Trump decision as he is trying to avoid boots on the ground and a massive Iranian retaliation on the Gulf States.
Bibi is not straight.
Does sexual preference really change the situation?
So Chevron is the operator for the Leviathan and Tamar off-shore LGN production fields. Which would make a better outcome for Chevron? The elimination of the Islamic Republic of Iran, or the complete destruction of the South Pars Gas Firld operations? Where’s Billy Bob Thornton when you need him?
The elimination of the Iranian regime will make the gas available to Europe. This is not financial beneficial to Israel. This whole idea that Iranian gas is in competition with the Israeli gas is wrong. Iran is under sanctions and have a different market.
A few months ago, Exxon-Mobil stepped back from some sort of energy/oil deal that the President was formulating…
The price of gas is set on a global market regardless of who the customers are. The less gas being produced, the higher the price.
Look. I am Israeli. We are under massive ballistic missile bombardment and a potential nuclear threat.
The least of our worries is the price of natural gas. This whole “Israel is bad” is just a narrative.
If you don’t believe me just listen to Trump rather than Tucker. This lip service to the Qataris of “We didn’t know and didn’t coordinate” is just a lip service. Keep listening to Trump and your own Sec of War and Sec of State you will get better information than all the “experts” in the world.
David, I appreciate your perspective.
That said, not everyone’s motives are pure, not in Iran, not in Israel, and not in America.
This is not just true in this particular war, but it’s true in all wars, small, medium, and large.
Some of us are still fighting the Civil War in America. The same is true for most wars, as far back as the dawn of recorded history.
This will turn out like the rest. Lots of people will die. Some people will make money, some will lose money. The written history will be kicked back and forth until the end of time.
Thanks. When the missiles are raining on you and the source of the missiles is also stating they want to annihilate you and are working on a nuclear program, it doesn’t look like the gray colors that you described. More like a black and white. One side wants to kill you, one side wants to live and let live.
I think that I like you personally but you remind me of another Facebook friend from the US that I respect. But he gave me this moral equivalence point of view. A comparison of a democracy to a terror organization. With all respect there is nothing to compare. The moment you dedicate your life to killing the other side you lose the debate, there is no more comparison.
I think that previous generations were different. I don’t think that in WW2 people were making moral equivalence comparisons between the Nazis and the Allies.
sigh
Threatening Iran with total destruction of its gas field will only encourage them to escalate. Oh, and the same goes for Israel.
When you have two religious groups, each hell bent on hastening the coming of their false messiah (as opposed to the true Messiah, Jesus), and bringing on the apocalypse, because each group thinks they will be the only ones who survive it into eternity (also looking at YOU, Christian zionists and end-timers and temple rebuilders), blowing up the world is what they WANT.
The US has now saved Iran twice. First, when Israel threatened to start a war with Iran a year ago, we stepped in and blew up Iran’s nuke program, completely eliminating Israel’s stated justification for starting a war with Iran. Israel harrumphed and wandered away muttering. You’re welcome.
Second, this time, when Israel was again threatening to start an all out war with Iran, the US stepped in and took control of the targets and bombings. We wiped out Iran’s navy, army, air force, air defenses, missile factories, and munitions factories. We LEFT IN PLACE virtually ALL of Iran’s civilian infrastructure, instead of letting Israel bomb Iran into a smoldering pile of rubble the way they did in Gaza. Again, you’re welcome.
But it appears Israel saw its plans for total destruction again being thwarted so they did something completley stupid. Oh, and for anyone wondering why we don’t walk away from Israel, do you really think they would think twice about launching a nuclear first strike without the US to restrain them? Yeah, we have had a zionist ghost in the American intelligence and policy machine for half a century. But in the process of keeping the ghost’s influence hidden, calmer heads with America First values have forced some self control and moderation into Israeli policy … somtimes.
It’s a brutal dangerous world. Stay safe out there.
This is obviously a psyop by Netanyhu to hide the puppet strings that lead from Israel to PDJT47 that are only visible in Tucker al-Qatarlson’s fever dreams.
I guess?? another country acting as mediator between various countries is necessary. Sure does give the mediator power… Qatar, snakes.
The entire premise of this article is wrong. 80-90% of the Iran gas is for domestic (including military) consumption with only a portion of the fields being hit. The future gas from Israel will feed Europe.
“…a very innocent, in this case, Qatar…”
Really? Qatar has been the PayPal of terrorist organizations.
I am sorry, but I am absolutely outraged at the way Israel wages war on neighboring countries. What they are doing in Lebanon is disgusting. Lebanon is a poor country and was just starting to get back on its feet after all the other wars. They don’t want Hezbollah operating on their territory and they were about to take care of it…. and Israel decides to just bomb the hell out of southern Lebanon…. knocking down residential buildings all over the place and displacing a million people.
We know that Israel can be very specific in taking out the jihadis without killing the innocent and destroying entire apartment blocks. This is not specific targeting, this is leveling an area that they want to expand to.
President Trump told Israel not to bomb oil and gas facilities after they bombed the oil storage in Iran.
Now we know why they bombed the South Pars area. For their own financial gain.
Israel needs to be reigned in.
Just a reminder too, Israel (like Ukraine) has been fighting with our money. Without US aid (money, weapons, intelligence), Israel would have been an ashtray years ago.
It’s possible too all of this is some kind of staged theater for public consumption. Israel would be pretty damn stupid to piss off Trump. Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin can’t help them one iota……
They don’t want Hezbollah operating on their territory and they were about to take care of it
How? – If the Lebanese government was going to do something significant, they would have long before this point in time. They have rather done little significant to rid themselves of Hezbollah.
and Israel decides to just bomb the hell out of southern Lebanon
Um, did you miss the part where Hezbollah started launching rockets recently in support of Iran?
knocking down residential buildings all over the place and displacing a million people
Yep, after warning civilians to get out, and because Hezbollah intermingles in the residential areas on purpose to protect themselves with civilians shields.
smh
Yes, I know all that…. and I fully support Israels right to defend itself. However, I am not a fan of leveling entire residential areas and displacing the innocent.
Lebanon was going to be using their military to disarm the monsters. They should have been given that opportunity. When hezbollah started lobbing bombs again, Israel took out the places that were launching them…. but then they didn’t stop.
They were doing good with the elimination of the mullahs in Iran. TARGETED attacks, that worked.
Israel just doesn’t know when to stop.
Lebanon was going to be using their military to disarm the monsters.
They were given that opportunity during the last ceasefire. Lebanon didn’t do. Hezbollah, however, did. Thus, Boom!
That is the real situation. I understand you no like, but here we are.
Yes, the strikes on Beirut have been ongoing since the first Friday of this mess.
Israel gave millions of citizens 12 hrs to leave the city.
The first night of the bombings, it was noted at the time by Israel that the US was not
involved in the Lebanon bombings. That right there left me 🤔. (I watch live feeds)
Now, it does appear Is wants southern Lebanon territory.
I don’t know, just trying to get to some truth and not propaganda from either side.
After the 1980s and the Civil war in lebanon, Israel got involved on the Christian sied, and eventually took over southern lebanon to keep Hezbolla out.
That lasted almost 20 years, until Ehud Barak pulled out all the troops in 2000.
What followed was constant attacks from hezbolla, sometimes military but mostly just thousands of missiles raining down on northern Israel, and eventually central israel.
tse been like that for over 20 years now and the lebanese army didnt do jack to disarm Hezbolla.
Turns out, the solution in place from 1985 to 2000, is the only one that works. So Israel is going to once again clear hezbolla, and all their supporters from south lebanon.
I am Israeli and I have provided updates. If you were to follow things would have looked different:
1. The Lebanon government are liars. For two years they are selling the US the idea that they will take care of Hezbollah and look now. Hezbollah has rebuilt its power under their open eyes and we are under a massive rain of missiles again. Everyone in the Middle East knows that a half of the Lebanon Miliotary is Shia. They are brothers and family of Hezbollah. Even if they wanted to disarm them they couldn’t. Hezbollah is stronger. But at least they could have been honest and say “we can’t”. But they lied to the US trying to get funds.
2. The villages at the area of the South Lebanon by the Israeli border are the homes of Hezbollah. When we came into the area some year ago, every second house had a bunker, weapons, tunnels, missile storage.
Hezbollah was practicing a whole 10/7 style attack on Israel using those villages as launching areas. They had stashes of uniforms and weapons. And this too was under the noses of UNIFIL and Lebanon military.
3. Israelis are no longer willing to live by Jihadi nuts who learn to murder Jews from the day they are born.
The hosts of Hezbollah and families are going to be move away from the border. The evacuation orders are for thier own safety. Hezbollah have not always been there. Lebanon was a thriving nation until they decided to give home to terrorists whose single goal is the destruction of Israel.
4. Hezbollah started to attack Israel from those areas. They joined the Iranians in coordinated action and are still coordinating daily attacks. If Lebanon can’t take responsibility of its land, and their land is a source of trying to kill Jews then thier land is not really theirs and they can have it once it’s cleared.
Understood, David. And your updates are appreciated (even though I forget that you put them in the Open Thread).
I just wish that entire blocks of homes were not being razed to the ground….
I understand. Unfortunately, the only thing that gives security to our border area residents is buffer zones. In Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. Once they move back in they start the cycle of war again. It’s their goal and education. We all would rather live in peace side by side. Go to those villages and do a survey and you would get shocked. As Golda Meir said: “At the day the Arabs love their children more than they hate the Jews there will be peace”.

Makes. Y point about Grahams influence in an earlier post.
If he does this, he will lose many of the base. I am not panicking, just realistic.
Read this over at Behold Israel, in the Telegram portion of website. A different point of view that I found interesting.
“ Trump’s statement on the Israeli strike on the gas field – an opportunity to understand the gap between his “language” and his “actions,” in typical Trump fashion.The media is largely populist, so here’s a practical translation (i.e., “Trump is flipping”) into what it actually means:Trump:Israel, out of anger over what has happened in the Middle East, violently attacked a large facility known as the South Pars gas field in Iran. A relatively small part of it was damaged. The United States had no prior knowledge of this specific attack.PRACTICAL TRANSLATION:“I have a crazy friend who can hurt you – I almost feel sorry for you. I’m not taking responsibility for what happened, so Iran shouldn’t complain.”⸻Trump:Qatar was not involved in any way, nor did it have any knowledge this was going to happen. Unfortunately, Iran did not know this – or any of the relevant facts regarding the South Pars attack – and unjustly and unfairly struck part of Qatar’s LNG gas facility.PRACTICAL TRANSLATION:“Qatar is weak and can’t defend itself – it should be grateful to the U.S. and will pay for that protection later.”⸻Trump:There will be no further Israeli attacks regarding the extremely important and valuable South Pars gas field – unless Iran makes the unwise decision to attack innocent Qatar again. In that case, the United States of America, with or without Israel’s help or consent, will massively destroy the entire South Pars gas field with a force Iran has never seen before. I do not want to authorize such a level of violence and destruction due to its long-term consequences for Iran’s future – but if Qatar’s LNG is attacked again, I will not hesitate to do so. Thank you for your attention to this matter. • President Donald J. TrumpPRACTICAL TRANSLATION:“I’m imposing a ceasefire in the energy domain. If the IRGC violates it – and they might – the U.S. will join the fight this time. Israel, obviously, won’t object to a massive strike on Iran. He simply doesn’t want Israel to appear too dominant – which is smart from a messaging standpoint.”⸻Summary: 1. Trump does not want to appear as if he is being led by Israel. That’s good for him – and good for us. The U.S. and Israel are highly coordinated. He isn’t trying to undermine Israel, just to maintain his own posture. 2. Qatar is portrayed as weak and dependent. 3. Trump is effectively laying the groundwork for a potential massive strike on Iran.⸻In the naïve mainstream media, the debate will once again revolve around:“Is Trump going to turn on us?”That’s because most of the political class, media, NGOs, and opinion-shapers in Israel have never actually conducted real negotiations – and don’t understand the language of businessmen.Until victory.(Topaz Ram)”
Yes, Amir Tsarfati at Behold Israel provides good insight, amongst other more important info.

Now natural gas wars.
Loose cannon again?
Its not just about iran making a nuke. its other unspoken stuff.
Bread and circus.
Sundance,
Nick Fuentes is right about President Trump cancelling MAGA and now embracing MIGA (Make Israel Great Again). Trumped got trumped by the Israeli Lobby Club. Now who would’ve thought that this could’ve and would’ve happened?
And remember what James Carlin said? “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it!” Yeah, Tucker Carlsen and Meghan Kelly know this fact up close and personal.
George. It’s George Carlin and Fuentes is not a reliable source of anything except hating on Jews
American farmers are impacted by the Strait’s closure…

https://www.agrinews-pubs.com/business/2026/03/18/middle-east-blockage-impacts-global-fertilizer-supplies/
From January-ish 2026, or Field to Fork (and gas tank):
“The 2026 report shows a 4% increase in the cost of corn production, driven mainly by higher fertilizer and chemical costs compared to 2025, whereas soybean costs are 2% higher (Figure 1)”
https://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/articles/hart/HarJan26b.html
Aggie info from a Brave Ai search…notably:
“Market Outlook: The Urea-Corn price ratio reached 127.74 in January 2026, meaning farmers need to sell 127.74 bushels of corn to afford one ton of urea—15% higher than a year ago—indicating fertilizer is increasingly expensive relative to crop returns.”
