Israel said on Monday it hit a petrochemical plant in Iran's southwest, along with strikes elsewhere on military targets, after U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from further attacks.<;p> The escalation complicates U.S.-led efforts to broker a broader deal with Iran, driving oil prices up by nearly 5%, with benchmark Brent futures back above $97 a barrel.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps blamed the U.S. for the latest exchange of fire with Israel and said further attacks on non-military and energy targets would have consequences for the global economy.
The IRGC said that in retaliation they had launched a missile attack on a similar plant in the Israeli city of Haifa.

Trump said on Sunday the new strikes by Israel and Iran would not affect the U.S. peace talks with Tehran.
(snip)
"It’s not going to have any impact on the deal," Trump told the Financial Times. "I call the shots. I call all the shots. He (Netanyahu) doesn’t call the shots."
A few hours later, Israel's defence forces said they had struck Iranian military targets.

No, its “good cop, bad cop” and apparently you fell for it.

Oil prices spike over 4% as Iran and Israel trade strikes...
Well, somebody has to fight this war…
My thought, too.

All of the lies being perpetuated about Trump and Israel right now is one big parting OP by the Tulsi Gabbard defense priorities crowd right before they get purged from ODNI.
They know they only have one month left and so they are causing as much chaos as possible.
This is why Tulsi should just leave now. No sense in letting her stay till June 30.
So much chaos will be spread over one month.
Notice how her Chief of Staff Joe Kent is the ring leader of all of this.
That isn’t a coincidence.

I agree. Israel has a right to defend itself from Iran’s unprovoked missile attacks tonight.

No - it’s Iran trying to put a lever between them - they knew that Israel would, rightfully, respond to an attack on them. I ran is seemingly choosing “suicide by Israel” as their great plan because Trump won’t punish Israel for defending herself - but our own government is putting pressure on him so he has to ‘give peace a chance”.
Nah. Trump and Bibi are playing “good cop bad cop”.
I think it’s chapter 4 of The Art of the Deal.
Trump is laughing. He can be the peacemaker while Israel does our dirty work.
It’s Iran’s proxy strategy (“It wasn’t us! It was Hezbollah/Hamas/Yemeni/Iraq militia!”) used against them.
Oh, noes!
Oil is just hovering at its median inflation-adjusted price!
It’s. It’s. Basically normal!
The huge manatee!
Trump never told Israel to refrain … this is Reuters.

Uh...he sure did.
there's that word again: "reportedly": meaning that someone somewhere claimed SOMETHING with zero evidence of attribution ... ignorant and thoughtless people reading a statement like that sort of mentally skip over the word "reportedly" and take the statement as FACT, which of course is the intent of the fake stream anti-Trump, anti-MAGA lying propaganda media ...
Trump could be caught having sex with a 12 year old girl in the Oval Office, and half the posts on this site would explain how he was “trolling” the libs, and “playing” the MSM, and his detractors here would be told that they were just too stupid to “get it.”
