US Senate Calls for Striking Iran's Oil Sites

8
Yesterday's drone attack on oil refineries in Saudi Arabia was the reason for the next ridiculous accusations and threats against Iran from the United States.



Following a statement by the Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, who accused Iran of assaulting only on the grounds that there was "no evidence" of the attack by Yemen, Republican Senator Lindsay Graham received a proposal to discuss the possibility of attacks on Iran’s oil facilities if Tehran "Continue his provocations."

According to the congressman, the reason for the attack on Iranian oil refineries should be "provocations" from Iran or an increase in nuclear enrichment.

In turn, the Iranian side not only rejected the accusations of the Americans, but also warned of a possible retaliatory action.

Thus, the commander of the military-space forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Amir Ali Hajizadeh, said that a number of American objects in the region (two bases and an aircraft carrier) are under the gun, and they will inevitably be hit, in case of aggression by USA.

It is unlikely that Donald Trump now needs a mess, the result of which is far from obvious to Washington. Therefore, one can hope that the warlike rhetoric of the “hawks” from Congress will remain just rhetoric.

    It is unlikely that Donald Trump now needs a mess.

    - No, Trump just needs a mess ... but a mess made by the wrong hands ... - Now, if Israel would strike Iran; or a series of terrorist attacks would have occurred at Iranian industrial facilities ... etc ...
    - But, as I already wrote ... - Trump missed the time ... - Today Israel has already begun to fear Iran and is unlikely to dare to bomb it ... and, apparently, the American special services themselves organize terrorist attacks on Iranian territory today is no longer able to ... - Under their noses - in Venezuela they could not do anything, and even in "vigilant Iran" and even more so ...
    “But, it’s still obvious that soon the US military will not remain idle ...” “Trump will have to do something, at least new attacks by drones ...

      You will probably laugh, but I agree with you. Only, in my opinion, you slightly overestimate Iran's "vigilance" and underestimate the capabilities of the US intelligence services. And I hope that the military bases will still remain without work.

        - No, I do not "underestimate" the American special services at all ... - After the KGB sunk into oblivion, and the FSB began to perform its functions (which is a pathetic parody of the KGB), the American special services lost a very serious enemy and also .. - began to weaken and degrade ... - you start constant "training" with a weak opponent - and you yourself will lose skills and become weaker.
        - As for any American military activity, Trump has come the time to show it ... if he intends to win in today's confrontation and generally continue to continue as president ...

          - Yes, and more ... - since you somehow "showed up" again, then I still want to end our "kind of long-standing polemic", which took place in the topic "What if China" throws "Russia with the CR929 ? "... - This topic I never finished there .., but its continuation is in my comments in the topic" Russia will share the riches of the Arctic and the Far East with India and Japan "... - If you like, you can read ...
          - This is Me to the fact that I was reproached, oh, allegedly, "insufficient specificity" in the topic "What if China" throws "Russia with the CR929 liner?" ... - I just did not have time to continue everything ...
          - So ... - in the topic "Russia will share the riches of the Arctic and the Far East with India and Japan" this "specifics" is already enough ...
          - Read ... - Today, the same scam (on the "development of Sakhalin") that was under Yeltsin is being repeated ... but in a different interpretation ..
          - They are talking about international projects of Rosneft, Gazpromneft and NOVATEK (Yamal LNG-2, Arctic LNG-2 and others). And also about the ultra-modern Zvezda shipyard in Primorye, where specialized ice-class ships were supposed to be built, which the Chinese have already undertaken to finish building ... -And what losses Russia has already incurred, and what "unprofitable prospects" loom before Russia when this the shipyard will be commissioned ...
          - Read ... - everything is quite detailed and specifically stated there ...

            Good evening. I read all your "specifics", the logical connection between the development of an airliner, the development of shipbuilding and gas production in the Far East, I did not catch it.
            In my opinion, you just grab any topic where everything is not going smoothly and shout:

            Everything is gone, the plaster is removed!

            - hereinafter. You can make a brief conclusion on the basis of what was written, so to speak - to generalize. And then you have whole articles there copied. Did you want to say something?

              What is your conclusion ??? -Are you ...- really not ... not ... not ...
              -Everything is detailed in detail ...; figures and facts are given ... -What else. ??? ..
              -Or you need a conclusion "in plaster" ???

              Everything is gone, the plaster is removed!

              -Well, I can and "in plaster" ... -Gypsum is not removed at all ... -they are already applying "new plaster" ...- All over the Zvezda shipyard ... and all its further industrial activities ...
              -This is essentially the "second Sakhalin", which Yeltsin once learned "with his comrades" ... -there is no difference ...- this is the whole "conclusion" ...
              -I will not get into the "other affairs" of Gazprom, Rosneft and NOVATEK ...- this topic is very big ...
              -My advice to you.: .. "Communicate less with the minus players ..., there is no need to think at all ... - know the minuses ... - And this very much" lowers the bar "... - Here the other day" mentioned special services "... -So it's like the CIA ...- when it lost a serious enemy in the person of the KGB and only the FSB began to" resist "him, then the" tsereushnaya planochka "immediately crawled down ...
              -So, make your own conclusion ...- Hahah ...

          I am delighted with your optimism and level of self-esteem. Are you able to evaluate the activities of the FSB? I envy you straight))))) What is your tolerance level?

          As for any American military activity, Trump has come the time to show it ... if he intends to win in today's confrontation and generally continue to continue as president.

          Bolton's place has not yet been taken, there is a chance to apply.
          Thinking "shooting a little" is a good idea? What if something goes wrong? As with the air defense in Saudi Arabia ....... The reference to the poorly trained Bedouins does not work, the operators worked in the state.
