Iran strikes Israel with massive missile attack, Gulf energy on fire, oil price hits $110
Iran has intensified its strikes on Israel, firing missiles toward Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport. The attacks come in response to the killing of Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib, top security official Ali Larijani, and Brigadier General Gholamreza Soleimani, the commander of the Basij paramilitary force.
It is rare to get video out of Israel given that regime's blackout on news, so you take what you can get.
Looks like the airport is getting hit pretty hard.

He's setting himself up for some good talk show money if he choses to go that route.
The conflict drags on. Trump desperately needs oil flow to continue through the straight for political reasons. I'm wondering why we don't escort ships through. I suspect it's currently too risky for our very expensive naval ships. Even if Japan was to mobilize their navy (which is probably modest) how long would it take to get there?
Iran is like if we are going down, we are going to make everyone feel the pain. Is droning the Gulf countries igoing to backfire? We will see.
This is going to really strain relations within NATO and the Ukraine war. Next time Ukraine comes with its hand out, I suspect Trump is going to send them to Europe and rightfully so.
The US economy has its own oil reserves.
Japan, India , China and most of Europe are the ones that need access through the Straits the most.
Past time to bomb Iranian oil facilities.
It's the obvious target.
Squeezing out Iranian supply squeezes everyone's supply, and thus price inflation.
Good grief......it s real ****ing war we are dealing with.
The goal is regime change otherwise these mullah's are going to just keep up their crap.
Bomb the Iranian oil fields and the locals will demand a new government when they begin to go hungry.
Really think the United States gave a **** about price inflaction when we were sinking the huge Japanese oil tanker fleet ?
When the boots hit the ground is when the war becomes really real. Perhaps understanding it isn't oil keeping them in power would be a good perspective for you. This is a nation that has spent decades under economic hardship. They are beholden to an ideology, and our Israeli bilateral war with them confirms to many their Friday prayer chants. You'd serve the purpose of regime change more by carpet bombing Tehran and Qom than taking out oil facilities. There's no appetite for such brutality, so if you just want to aggravate the global economic situation thus putting more pressure on the US to pull out, then sure, take out their oil infrastructure.
The goal is regime change.
Thankfully Israel is killing an unprecedented number of Iranian political and military leaders. The US has destroyed the Iranians air force and navy.
If this does not produce regime change immediately…..time to increase the pressure.
Privation of an enemies population always works.
Fire bombing civilian populations.
Unrestricted submarine warfare
Naval blockades.
The US has a long history of applying such tactics…. because they work. Destruction of Iranian oil facilities will shock the entire Iranian population and make them realize they have lost the war and regime change is necessary.
By the way……war is always brutal……the lack of a draft has insulated 90% of Americans from that bloody reality.
Such tactics almost never work and usually have the opposite effect. That's one reason the US now has a long history of losing wars.
The US has a long history of winning wars……dumbass.
Although the US does have a habit of ****ing up the following peace terms.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if infrastructure like this 👇 gets blown up, as of this moment it will take at least a decade to recover from this war - and the truth is that the world's energy picture is probably changed forever.

This single facility produced roughly 20% of global LNG supply (aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/18…) and, as of 2011, had taken $70 billion to build (energyintel.com/0000017b-a7be-…).
What makes this even worse is that Iran's strike on this was retaliation after Israel attacked their South Pars gas field which draws from the same natural gas reservoir, which is the world's largest by far (9,700 km - about the size of Qatar itself).
Heck, on the list of the 25 largest natural gas fields (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_n…) this single reservoir holds roughly 40% of their combined recoverable reserves - and is nearly 6 times bigger than the 2nd biggest field in the world. And, unlike many of the others on the list, it's only at 10% depletion (meaning 90% of the gas is still there).
Which means that, probably for many years, a huge share of the gas from the world's largest reservoir simply won't be extractable, as infrastructure on both sides - Qatar's and Iran's - has now been blown up.
From a global energy supply perspective, we're deep into worst-case scenario territory.

Israel attacked Iran's gas fields. Iran retailed twice, against Qatar. This second one was confirmed a few minutes ago. Trump went from claiming he had advanced knowledge of Israel's attack (this am, via admin officials) to now disclaiming knowledge. What a mess.

War is often chaotic.
As there are far too many variables to control 100% of the time.
However up to this point there can be no reasonable view other than Iran is getting the living **** beat out of them.
Can not remember of any war in history where the top three levels of an enemies political and military leadership has been slaughtered.
Must less all killed in the first three weeks of a war.

Not anytime soon. Most domestic LNG projects are years behind and over budget. There is very little export capacity online currently. Might help long term, might get a few projects to FID. Will still be years until capacity meaningfully starts to increase.
