Iran fired cruise missiles in attack on Saudi oil facility: Senior US official

Hey use Google earth and Google maps

 

Israel's Energy and Water Resources Ministry said Wednesday it has issued a permit for the American-Israeli company Genie Energy to drill for oil on the plateau. The company is headed by Effi Eitam, a hawkish former Israeli Cabinet minister.

Israel annexed the Golan Heights in 1981 but the world still considers it occupied territory.

Oil permits for the area were stopped 20 years ago during Israel-Syria talks, which were to include a potential return of the Golan. The talks never produced a peace deal.

The drilling permit raises concerns it could draw international condemnation, especially ahead of President Barack Obama's visit to Israel.

( I am REALLY surprised by this news from 2013)

Genie Oil: The Syria, Goldman Sachs, Israel, ISIS connection
https://www.trunews.com/article/genie-oil-the-syria-goldman-sachs-israel-isis-connection
Apr 14, 2017 · In late-February 2017, an ISIS affiliated group took control of the strategic oil-exploration area of the Golan Heights in Syria which Genie had rights to. After a surprise attack the jihadists captured the towns of Tseel, Sahem al Golan, Adwan, and Ten Jamoua which bridge Syria and Israel over the Yarmouk River.

 

Right..

 

Yes it was kept very quiet,

 

So its been six years.. Have they tapped those fields? Israel sure isn't going to give the Golan back.

 

Well not if Hezbollah can help it... you have to remember this is disputed territory, only recently recognised as Israels by Trump

 

I wish Hezbollah would disband.. I am sick of seeing Lebanon paying the price for Iran's bloodlust.

Trump is a sick man.. you can't believe anything he says ever.

July 30, 2018: With respect to talks with Iran, asked if he would have pre-conditions for a meeting, Trump said, "No pre-conditions. No. If they want to meet, I'll meet. Anytime they want. Anytime they want. It's good for the country, good for them, good for us, and good for the world. No pre-conditions. If they want to meet, I'll meet."

June 23, 2019: Chuck Todd, host of NBC's "Meet the Press," asked him, "No pre-conditions?" Trump responded, "Not as far as I'm concerned. No pre-conditions."

June 23, 2019: Vice President Mike Pence told CNN's Jake Tapper, "The President of the United States has made it clear we're prepared to talk to Iran without pre-conditions."

September 10, 2019: Appearing together at a press briefing, Mnuchin and Pompeo said within moments of each other that Trump was willing to meet with Iran with "no pre-conditions."

September 15, 2019. In a tweet on Sunday, Trump said, "The Fake News is saying that I am willing to meet with Iran, 'No Conditions.' That is an incorrect statement (as usual!)."

 

It's just not that simple and I'm also not sure he has much of a choice.

Under Hillary/Soros you would have seen more exploitation of America by its enemies... so the weakening of America, and bankruptcy of the treasury.

And certainly more of.... where is it ..... this vvv growing inequality. Trump is talking "middle class" I want to see what he has planned



We are moving into global financial insecurity and therefore Trump can not walk away from American assets/resources abroad.. it would be a fatal mistake. Iran, Turkey, Russia, China is pressuring the US to retreat... and this would also be a fatal mistake because Iran will never stop.

part of the fallout apart from a most horrid body count is likely millions of refugees into Europe, but conflict between Iran and the US appears inevitable, Obama's way was merely kicking the can down the road... like he did the financial crisis... in the end the problem just snowball

 

Obama gave Iran a respectable way out. Trump took that away.

The financial crisis began in the second quarter of 2001.. It took 8 years for Bush to screw it up and there was NO quick fix.

Trump has already struck out re: China...

This is a long read, but you need to see it. Trump is just bluster or worse.

Their view: Trump’s foreign policy has produced a string of failures

The propaganda isn't working. There are more jobs than workers and minority unemployment has never been lower.

 

Trump had NOTHING to do with that.

 

Don't be Ridiculous - Saudi Arabia has been off the leash, for years, with all the high tech
arms & ammo that the US can provide. & What have they been able to accomplish?, except
...................................... to get their Ass's Kicked by a bunch of peasants in the deserts of Yemen

If ONE attack, from wherever it came from, Yemen or Iran, can take out 50% of Saudi production,
Just think what hourly attacks for a week or more will be able to accomplish -
The corrupt & brutal US puppet regime there would very likely become unstuck

Right now the US figures
that the price of staving Iranian citizans & children with sanctions is a "Price they feel is worth it"
Till now they have simply had to bear the price of Bullying their allies and applying Sanctions

But Iran is NOT going to stand by while that happens - The CO$T will be a lot higher than what
the Washington Idiots have anticipated - It will be the CO$T of the loss of US$ as reserve currancy
and the dollar Hegemony - And the irrevocable CO$T of the CRASH of the Global Economy.

Already people in the US who have been betrayed by the Corporations that OWN their Scofflaw
Government have been reduced to Pooping in your streets - After War with Iran & the devastation
of Saudi Oil production, maybe you or some of neighbors will be getting hungry
Maybe you will learn that the "Price" of your filthy War Mongering, Is one sum higher
...........................................................................than the one " you once felt was worth it"

.Saudi $295 billion defense budget failed
to protect oil installations from ragtag Houthi rebels

False. As soon as Trump was elected businesses began investing in growth as more regulations were lifted.

 

What deserts? Asir is tough, mountainous terrain. Ibn Saud didn't take on mountain people. He waited until they wanted to join Arabia. The Houthis have been attacking KSA for nearly five years before the Saudis fought back.

 

And Russia launches her arsenal on us. Not to back the Iranians but to survive themselves, for once we use any bomb we have said we will and escalation is therefore inevitable. The Russians are the only nation in the world that believes they could survive a nuclear exchange, due to their immense territory and a very well-developed and MAINTAINED Civil Defense, and that is only if they strike first

Putin is Trump's mentor but i don't think even he thought Trump is as crazy as he has turned out to be.

 

Russia can't retaliate successfully against us. They aren't the Soviet Union any longer.

 

And they will begin to stop as more and more of Trump's stupid ideas, like tariffs, begin to manifest themselves. Just the very thing you said shows how much of the Trump "prosperity" is a temporary papering over of poor Republican practices that are unsustainable.

 

Iran is a paper tiger. It is high time to dispatch ayatollahs to meet with their maker.

 

Anytime now

 

Good post... yes...

 

You're a smart guy..

You wanna bet against it, Margot?

 

LOLOL... I don't do Cyrus Scofield.

 

They still have enough of a nuclear arsenal to "make the rubble bounce" as the saying goes. Conservative mythology notwithstanding there is still no known defense that is effective against an ICBM with just ONE warhead, let alone MIRVs carrying 10 to 16 and furthermore several hundreds of them.

And are we arguing that the deaths of several BILLIONS of people are ok to mollify one of Trump's hissy fits?

 

deserts DO NOT have to be Seas of sand -
A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs
...............................................................................like in mountanous Yemen

further
Yemeni attacks on Saudi Arabia were in responce to Saudi Invasion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabian–Yemeni_border_conflict_(2015–present)
from the article:
An armed conflict between Saudi Arabian troops and Houthi insurgents has been
taking place at the Saudi–Yemeni border, in the southern regions of Asir, Jizan, and
Najran, since the onset of the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen in 2015.
