US Sends Dozens More Refueling Planes To Israel Amid Widening Iran War, Oil Climbs Summary Surge in more large US refueling planes headed to Mideast, signaling likely expansion of strikes on Iran. US attacks hit Iranian energy and transport infrastructure. Iran threatens stronger retaliation and claims strike on US base in Qatar - and deepens attacks to include US outposts in Jordan, Syria. Iran urges power conservation; Hormuz shipping traffic declines further. Oil prices rise to session highs on fears of broader regional conflict. Trump Sends Dozens More Refueling Planes in Sign Of Widening War Oil prices are climbing on fresh reports Friday that President Trump is ready to continue escalating and expanding strikes on the Islamic Republic, after a Situation Room briefing this week where the Commander-in-Chief was presented with various options. It bears repeating that the White House in the opening days of Operation Epic Fury promised the American public a fast and hasty, limited military engagement - but this is where we are four months later... "The Trump administration notified Israel it is sending dozens more refueling planes to the country ahead of a potential expansion of military operations against Iran, three U.S. and Israeli officials said," reports Axios. "After he was presented with several new military plans in a Situation Room meeting Tuesday, President Trump is considering a massive offensive in Iran that would be wider in scope than the current strikes around the Strait of Hormuz." This is but the latest signal that the ceasefire and negotiations are fully dead, and the potential for runaway escalation is bigger than ever: https://www.zerohedge.com/geop...tructure-irgc-claims The US faces the same dilemma In Iran as Russia faces in Ukraine. They have the power to kill every person in that country but exercise restraint. The only solutions for a win in Iran is an internal battle within the IRGC with the moderates taking control or a bloody hand to hand civil war between the Persians and the Islamists. Bombing the shit out of the country doesn't solve this. Theocracy is a lot like communism - "You can Vote your way in, but you'll have to shoot your way out". "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||
