US oil that is used in the US comes from the US; that said we do process a lot of Middle-Eastern oil here in the states and then have it sold elsewhere.

just thought its worth mentioning, Biden used a bunch of it post Russia invasion of Ukraine and it never got replaced

China's greatest problem is that they need oil for their industrial and chemical output, without it, it will collapse.
I think the US can comfortably keep domestic production on domestic oil and gas sources alone, China doesn't have that luxury.
They have a good domestic reserve, but i think they'd rather spend it on their terms (taiwan or another large crisis with the US) rather than a war that if they help Iran, will only prolong their oil cutoff.

There's chemists and industrial engineers on this thread, so i will leave them open to sperg in more detail.
 
Yeah, China needs oil for industry, but they try to use coal for public use. The issue is that about 20% of their oil comes from Venezuela. Another issue with China is that they currently want to increase production to the highest possible level, as its economy is struggling. You can tell they're strapped because they are not chucking money about.

Another one is India, who import 80% of its oil from the ME. I suspect most of it is Iran because the other ME countries' disdain for Indians. As of March 2026, they only have 250 million barrels.

The tanks off to the side are perpendicular in the first, and the single tank in the second is parallel to the fence

I'm not adverse to the idea that two tanks or whatever they are could be gone or a slightly different color, but how did one change orientation? Also the roads don't align when you adjust. Maybe you can do a better job than me but I cannot make them match. Also that wall along the raod would be a great way to identify it, why would they cut that out?

I tried to align the walls and of the structure in both phoitos, as well as trying to align the roads, and I just don't see it no matter how I mix and match.Placing them in a manner than is structurally-aligned makes the road wrong, and trying road-aligned makes the buildings wrong, even if we are very generous about damage to the buildings being the cause for it looking so different at first take.

He's claiming that 3 radars were destroyed and then replacements were brought in with those 3 replacements + 1 extra being destroyed as well. It's not enough to claim that Iran destroyed 3 like every other pro Iranian poster, he's going the extra mile.

He is clearly a kike shill. He didn't even mention the 40 trillion delta force operators they captured.

Trump has no way to end the war. Iran is going to keep Hormuz closed indefinitely and keep drone striking the energy infrastructure and no amount of MAGA delusional cope is going to change that. This is exactly why everyone with a brain has been shitting on the idea of war with Iran because there is no simple off ramp. The entire globe is going to eat a shit sandwich from these oil prices and by next year food prices are going to be absolutely insane because 30% of the worlds fertilizer (Urea, Sulfur, Ammonia, and Phosphate minerals) passes through Hormuz as well because they're a product of natural gas or made in petrochemical plants in the gulf because of proximity to the source material. The four top impacted zones are India, Brazil, USA and EU in that order from the fertilizer loss. We do not have the ability to scale up domestic production in the space of mere months, most of our petrochemical plants are close to maximum capacity already so American farmers are going to have miserable, expensive harvests because of the cost of diesel and insane prices of fertilizer.

Surely China, Korea, Japan, Indonesia will be massively impacted?

India's a good thing to bring up because it's frosty with China and literally sits right in the path of any tanker that needs to transit from the ME to China.

This means that anything China tries to pull out either has to take a very long way around (raising cost) or transit close to India who, in typical Indian fashion, can demand a cut (if they don't just outright seize it).

Now you might say - "That's insane, there's no way that would happen." But when the lights go out, sanity and "the rules" are some of the first things that go out the window.

Indonesia has domestic production. It's not great, but it's more of an investment issue. If prices stay high long enough, Indonesian oil will make sense.

Korea and Japan have friends across the Pacific in the US and the LatAm states. There's also not much in their way to getting that oil but it will come at a steep cost (although in the long-term they'll be fine as long as Canada, the US, etc. can ramp up production).

China is the one in a really rough spot here. They have fairly okay domestic production but their demand has massively outstripped it and their entire role as a "race-to-the-bottom manufacturer" depends on them being able to keep fuel prices low.

Japan is the weakest of these and it's too late at night for me to go into detail about their importance to the bond market but let's say $100bbl or higher is a serious issue that will devalue the yen even further requiring dumping of UST. If Japan stops buying US debt it becomes a serious problem for us. The contagion effects off this war are more harmful to the globe than the US military is to Iran by far and anyone being flippant towards the oil situation is a fool.

This is technically true, but only insomuch as it was already occurring before the stuff with Iran. The yen situation has been untenable since Japan started experiencing inflation for the first time in 30 years back in like 2022, and much of the financial world has been maneuvering on the expectation that Japan would slowly fall off as a reliable purchaser of bonds.

This is the only way he can get any sort of attention in his life. By being the pet retard.
 
If you faggots stopped engaging with stud he'll fuck off to a different thread to get the attention he so desperately craves. He's still here because you can't control yourselves.
 
I know it's arguing with retards, but if the reason for the war really was Mossad having blackmail material on senior politicians, then why did Israel wait for years after the fact to cash it out when Trump is on his final term as president and technology advanced enough that any video can be argued to be AI? Also why countries like Britain don't cooperate when they are also compromised.

The US already produces the lionshare of its own oil consumption. Plus there is a ton of oil in the US and accessible countries and there are tons of alternatives to oil. Its just a matter of how badly we want it. The econuts have the right instinct in this case. The US can do without foreign oil and is in a better position to do so than its ever been before since the whole petroleum industry got started. We aren't truly hostage to oil countries. Just in a weird position where oil prices are determined globally and its just better to slowly ease ourselves off the status quo.

US oil dependency is one of the most doomer misinformed geopolitical topics there is. If anything its the oil producers who should be afraid as every day their grip on their consumers is rightfully fading. Well not as quickly for places like the EU since for being the environut friendly leftoid preferred power they have remained far more dependent on foreign oil due at least partially to gross incompetence. But still the clock is ticking.

A fallout like scenario where we just 'run out' of oil with no alternatives is pretty much fantasy.
 
The IDF says it has begun a wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut's southern suburbs. The military warned earlier it would strike branches of the Al-Qard al-Hasan association, known to be used by Hezbollah as a quasi-bank and the targets are reported to be said banks.




The Isfahan Optics Industries building was targeted earlier today

Violent clashes between Hezbollah and the IDF Special Forces who are attempting to infiltrate the town of Nabi Chit, Lebanon.

Israeli military correspondent Itay Blumental of KAN news reports that everything about this incident last night in Nabi Chit was made up by Hezbollah. There wasn't any Israeli force in Nabi Chit let alone helicopters (which Hezbollah actually told AFP they shot down one :sighduck:). The closest thing to an operation in that region last night was a training by the 210th Division in the Golan Heights.

It doesn't make sense to me either but goes to show how pants-on-heads-retarded the whole thing is in the first place when covering up for the Epstein release is as plausible as anything else. There was no imminent threat. Hell, Iran was less of a threat when we attacked then during his campaign when he promised this would never happen.

In fairness the UK one is easy: Starmer is a gay sex robot that is law compliant. Clearly Israel fucked up when they threatened to release videos of him bummimg Ukraines children if he didn't bomb Iran. He just said "Beep boop no. That is illegal." Put the Mossad agent on ignore and went back to eating ass.

If the Kurds are going into Iran, why would we want that to happen and why would the Iranian people (who do largely hate the regime) be fine with this considering that the kurds have a nasty habit of setting up "autonomous zones" and taking away land from any country they can get a foothold in?

Do you mean Iraqi Kurds, because there's Kurds in northern Iran. Tribal elders said they didn't want to take up arms against the regime, unless things have changed
