I bet they brought the oil and gas for cover. After all, it’ll keep.

October 7th: Iran finds out what all the jet fuel is for.

Israel has coniditioning units to keep fuel fresh in case of embargo.

Its storage is also underground, where it is cool, which extends the life of the product.

Most JP is stored on the tarmac, which is part of the reason for the short shelf life.

The author makes a big mistake: it’s not the fuel you need for the attack, but also the fuel you need for the sure-to-follow embargo by other oil producers in the ME.

Just saying...best they be caught totally by surprise....

It would be good to know when they expect delivery.

Gasoline also does not have a long shelf life. Whatever this is for, it would be in the nbext few months.

Saudi’s probably green lighted the operation. Anyone remember the news snippets about Israel staging equipment in Saudi Arabia. Obama has been up at MV for a nice long time. I'll bet he has been meeting with the reps for the affected countries. Good cover and sea access for boats.

All the furor down in NYC over the GZM is probably a grand distraction for the press.

Islamic headquarters is in the cross hairs.

It takes tons of fuel to reach the White House.

Reminds me of a story I read shortly after 9/11 when plans for military operations against Afghanistan began.

The only problem with this article is it lacks context. Is this a bigger order than usual or is this something Israel does every 12-18 months anyway? A bit of research done there could be interesting.

If Kuwaiti rumors are true, then this could be because of a potential war with Hezbollah & Syria, not strictly Iran - http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/report-israel-planning-to-attack-hezbollah-arms-depots-in-syria-1.310655
