As part of their attempts to avoid being caught in the crossfire, Gulf states including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are also refusing to let Israel fly over their airspace for any attack on Iran and have conveyed this to Washington, the three sources close to government circles said.
The moves by the Gulf states come after a diplomatic push by non-Arab Shi’ite Iran to persuade its Sunni Gulf neighbours to use their influence with Washington amid rising concerns Israel could target Iran’s oil production facilities.
During meetings this week, Iran warned Saudi Arabia it could not guarantee the safety of the Gulf kingdom’s oil facilities if Israel were given any assistance in carrying out an attack, a senior Iranian official and an Iranian diplomat told Reuters.
1 year of silence but when the oil starts getting endangered they sure move fast.
It’s worse than that, everything oil is set up like a domino mexican standoff. If the oil terminal from Iran gets destroyed, basically they destroy the other’s oil infrastructure that is very vulnerable, and basically then there is not nearly enough oil globally and then the gears running the world infrastructure starts breaking down. Will be a climate activist’s wet dream since up to 20% of global oil stops trading
The US has been drilling (and fracking) like there’s no tomorrow, to the point where we have passed Trump’s peak domestic oil and gas production.
I wonder wh…
Oh
When asked on Israel pre-emptively striking Iran:
“The expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute fundamental necessity for the United States…"
That dream would quickly turn into a nightmare after the resultant inflation drives the election of climate denying fascists around the globe who would jail said climate activists and clamp down on any climate action.
