Seeing more reports of oil targets than nuclear sites, would U.S. even allow that?

> Israeli officials are understood to be **conferring with the US** on how to calibrate their military response
During this era, where the US is disallowing Ukraine to strike its aggressor, I could empathize with Israel if they opted to just conduct the retaliation and worry about apologizing later.

Just for curiosity – How good is Iran’s air defence?

Oil refineries and electric plants first. Leave them in the dark ages.

This is restrained retaliation. Purpose behind this, probably because the US insisted, is to give the Islamic Republic an “out”. If after this they decide to hit Israel again, then the nuclear facilities come into play as targets.

We all hope Iran will get punished for being so annoying and dangerous.

That will affect world oil prices that will increase petrol prices in the USA and the World.

I hope they don’t hit oil tankers on sea. Massive pollution.

Gotta jack up those oil prices to make Biden/Harris look bad, thus helping Trump get elected again, which is who Israel wants as they’ll get unfettered support to flatten everyone in their vicinity.

Power Station and oil refineries.. Yesterday IDF shared one power plant video of Iran..

They should target drone factories
– less drones for Iran in general
– less drones for Iran supported terrorist groups that attack Isreal, US bases, and unarmed commerce ships
– less drones for Russia to use against Ukraine

Wouldn’t it help Russian oil export?

Israel should probably also target Iran’s IRGC Al-Ghadir Missile Command.
You know, the IRGC organization whose bases launched the missiles.
Conveniently also raising oil prices just before the US election.

So much for cheap gas in spring 2025. This ought to offset that.

Not going to lie but seeing those Iranian missile falling on Israel without being intercepted changed by view on balance of power. Imagine one of those missiles was armed with a nuclear warhead, it would have been devastating. I’m sure Israel will retaliate but it’ll be strategic to the point where they won’t cause a third wave of attack.

All the environmentalists would be up in arms because of the massive amount of smoke from burning oil. Biden Harris Walz would be up in arms because oil prices would go up right before the election. And Russia would benefit by the higher oil prices. Maybe on a small scale it could happen but it’s highly doubtful it would be a big enough attack on refineries to affect Iran financially through a massive loss of oil sales. That would mean all out war if that were to happen.

Why are they telling us? I thought you’re not supposed to tell your enemy where you’re gonna hit them?

And I bet the Israelis hit most of what they intend to devastating effect unlike the lob and pray Iranian method.

Does Iran have significant concentrated refinery vulnerability? Can you attack select refineries without hurting the people?
Is the Isfahan Missile Complex on the menu?

Could you please not fuck up gas prices? Theyre finally in a decent place

So, dumb question, but, why not START with bombing Tehran?
