Iran's South Pars Gas Field Is Attacked by Israel, Sending Energy Prices Soaring

If you were wondering why your company’s stock is dropping, here’s the reason. I’m so sick of the entire world being punished so the Israel colony of terror can continue to exist. At what point do we collectively say enough is enough? I’m American and would absolutely support military action against Israel. In fact, it’s imperative that we do that sooner rather than later.

I suspect I am financing this, both directly and indirectly, and I don't feel as though these actions represent my values or interests.

Interesting, who purchases Iranian oil given the sanctions? Ostensibly it would be those that would see the price increases?

They are setting the world on fire and we will all pay the price

This didn't have to happen. The world is less safe now because America loves bombing brown people more than it loves its own children.

I'm not sure why the US has refrained from lasing these optical recon birds. Is it a fear of escalation? How many have to die before it happens?

Israeli Defense Minister said earlier today that “Significant surprises are expected today across all arenas that will escalate the war to a new level.” And now they have targeted the world's largest gas field (shared with Qatar). Iranians have said they would retaliate against oil fields and refineries in Israel and the Gulf. But since the majority of US air defenses have been diverted in defense of Israel it looks like the gulf arab states will bear the brunt of the retaliation. It looks like they have already successfully struck targets in Saudi Arabia[1] and Qatar[2]. This is the moral hazard in action as a result of unconditional support for the rogue-state that is Israel . Israel continues to escalate since they face little of the consequences - being under the US security umbrella. It is the rest of the world that pays the price instead (apart from Russia). In a sane world we would be changing this equation such as by pulling air defense, air support, lethal aid, air tankers support, EWACs, intelligence and satellite sharing, defense away from Israel. But the Trump administration and indeed the collective west seems to be under the chokehold of the Israel lobby.
