On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” CNN International host Christiane Amanpour discussed Israel’s strikes on Iran and the fact that the strikes did not hit Iran’s oil facilities and said that “the United States did not want, potentially, the global oil supply, and, therefore, the global economy to be shaken” by Israel hitting Iran’s oil facilities.
Host Anderson Cooper said, “[A] number of those oil facilities are actually quite vulnerable. It could be — in terms of, certainly, compared to the nuclear facilities, could be relatively easily hit and a lot of economic damage done. But Israel is saying that they were not being targeted either.”

I thought that Iran was sanctioned and we don’t want them shipping or selling their oil anyway.
Settle for their nukes.
Biden didn’t want gas skyrocketing just before the election. Iran doesn’t want their cash cows destroyed and very well may play ball and stop the bombing of Israel.
FAFO what happens when Trump is in office. Nuke facilities get it then, I’ll bet.
If we were still an oil exporter as we were under Trump, Iran’s oil facilities would be irrelevant.
This was a telegraphed attack... When they really attack, there will be no calls to America’s intelligence community... It will just be done, and they’ll find out after the fact.
The thing the Israelis did with blowing up the pagers was absolute genius.
Trump halved Iran’s oil production. It was thanks to Harris and Biden that they’ve now got the oil production almost back to where it was and the money to spend on weapons and proxies.
Check out this website. Set the graph for 10 years and it points this out in a very “graphic” manor :)

Most of that midway expiry of oil is taken up by communist China.
When our own supply of the Strategic Oil Reserves are under 17% (Compliments of Biden/Harris ?)
and the cost of energy has more than doubled (Compliments of Biden/Harris)
and we are on the edge of World War III (Compliments of Biden/Harris
and we are still reeling from 15-20% inflation (Compliments of Biden/Harris),
I think we should retire both Biden/Harris to the seashore (Compliments of Trump).
I believe Iran only has one oil refinery. If it would be hit, then Iran would be without gasoline and diesel. It would not affect their oil export, but would cause them major problems throughout Iran.
“If we were still an oil exporter as we were under Trump, Iran’s oil facilities would be irrelevant.”
Needs repeating. However, the likes of Amanpour do not want to hear that.
Iranian oil is embargoed? Yes?
But don’t wreck their fields...we gonna want them when the Israelis take the mullahs down...
“If we were still an oil exporter as we were under Trump, Iran’s oil facilities would be irrelevant.”

Figure that out all by yourself, Christiane?
Ah, Brave Search is your friend. Here’s a recent “lowdown” on Iran’s refining capabilities. They have 9 refineries, but are incredibly vulnerable when it comes to fuel.

” U.S. Didn’t Want Israel to Hurt Global Oil Supply by Hitting Iran’s Oil Facilities”
The democratic machine didn’t want gas prices to spike just before the election ...
Anyone remember her bio?
“a British-Iranian journalist and television host.”
Rush searched his mind for something to say in her favor once and said “well, she has really good cheekbones. I’ll say that.”
Nukes need to be taken out in Iran. Oil production pumping stations also. Leave Kharg Island (their export terminal for oil) alone. The new regime when Iran is free will need it. It would take years to repair Kharg Island. If Iran repairs the pumping stations take them out again. No pumping stations means oil exports stop and Iran collapses economically.
