    Bahrain only a small producer in the area. While any supply removed is bad its only around 100k barrels a day if completely offline.

    Love my diesel vw camper van, setup to run on pure waste veggie oil for free.. 8 years so far no problemo! Middle finger to Trump for causing world chaos!

  3. Trumps billionaire buddies are raking in money, that’s what all this is about, except the big EPSTEIN MISSING TRUMP FILES

  4. Trump regime continues to get the headlines it needs to distract from the allegations in the Epstein files.

    You know what, this is a great strategy by Iran. They are bluffing the USA if they want to fuck up the world and lose their Arab allies.

    US hit their oil while oil was building up in their Gulf allie’s terminals, storage depots, and refineries due to the Strait of Hormuz being closed. What did you think was going to happen US? You went up another tier on the escalation ladder. I also heard that a desalination plants were starting to be hit. Iran has rivers and can hold out for a bit. The Gulf countries most certainly cannot. This is going to be an economic and humanitarian nightmare.

    Iran’s oil infrastructure was badly hit yesterday.

    The Arab gulf oil producers have benefited a lot and made more money because of sanctions on Iran and on top of that they give US bases .

    The biggest Target of Iran would be Oil infrastructure of gulf states more than israel or Us bases .

    Oil is crux of US Arab ties .the reason why US bases are present to make sure the arabs keep obeying their order of using dollar for energy trade .

    Bases are not to protect the Arabs , it’s present to protect the dollar .

    G7 releasing reserves and will get owned in about 2 months when all their reserves are gone. Stupid fucks

    Bahrain hosts the U.S. Fifth Fleet. An attack on strategic infrastructure there isn’t just regional escalation it’s a signal to the entire Gulf security architecture.

    The environmental impact of all these oil fires is going to be monumental.

    Meanwhile America is sending all the missile interceptors to Israel. Im sure the rest of the gulf isn’t liking how America prioritizes Israel and forgets the allies that actually contribute to America.

  12. Refineries take months to repair and years to build. Farm equipment runs on diesel. If bombing refineries becomes a regular occurrence in this war, there will be huge food shortages and mass starvation.

    Iran is giving middle finger to all other Arab nations; “if I am going down, you are all coming with me.”

  14. So this is apparently a reference from Reuters?

    https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/bahrains-bapco-announces-force-majeure-operations-2026-03-09/

    > March 9 (Reuters) – Bapco Energies declared ​force majeure ‌on its group operations ​on Monday ​following a recent ⁠attack on ​its refinery ​complex, the company said.

    And there are accompanying pictures taken by a phone.

    It’s still not completely clear to me if this is caused by another strike just today, or whether these are fires still burning from the earlier strike days ago.

    Man I’m so glad I do my bit for the environment by recycling my coffee cup and lid separately.

  16. It’s interesting that the only country with no oil Israel struck an Oil Depot in Iran and then Itan struck this country’s refinery.

  17. At this point…bring it on! $300/barrel prices! As a millennial why not add yet another once-in-a-lifetime crisis! (obvious sarcasm)

    So this is helping the oppressed ppl of Iran? What is this the 4th oil depot so far? This is just another money grab like Venezuela..Blood oil

  19. I guess the idiots that decided this was a good idea haven’t followed the war in Ukraine

  20. Greatest fucking negotiator ever. Look how calm the world is! Someone tell me what the DOW, I need to know, I need to exult in it!

  21. While people used to laugh at russian AA for failing to defend against long range drones, it seems defending large area against drones attacks is really a challenge.

  22. A 50k drone can cause tens of millions in damages at a refinery if you take into account the downtime. Israel striking that oil depot in Tehran was a big mistake (also assassinating another head of state is not a great statement of ethics). I know Iran struck SA’s refinery first, but that counterstrike to the oil depot and desalinisation plant lowered the bar for everyone.

    It’s time to once again send out the war rig to bring back guzzoline from gas town

  24. What a great gameplay by Trump.

    – Refuses to help Ukraine
    – Starts a war and helps Russia survive even more due to high oil prices.
    – Puts a major strain on relations with a bunch of countries in the region and acts like all is good.
    – Americans pay a lot more for gas and utilities (which funny enough, a lots of his base drive nice pumped up trucks).

    Last thing to do is bots on the ground so you send your son and daughters to die for who’s cause ?

    We finally has a slight bit of stability, well not anymore.
