🔴Iran Strikes Saudi Oil Field🔴 🔥 Footage of a massive fire — allegedly from an Iranian airstrike on a Saudi oil facility — has surfaced online. However, there is more to to it than just another Iranian strike on the Gulf country. It’s the fulfillment of Iran’s long-standing promises. Back in 2019, Iran’s proxies already used attacks on UAE and Saudi oil infrastructure as a means to alienate the American allies from the US amid another Iran-US escalation. Since the consequences were severe, Iran later used the threat of new strikes as leverage to prevent Gulf monarchies from supporting U.S. military operations. And it worked—for a long time, the UAE and Saudi Arabia refused to provide their airspace and airbases to the Americans. 🔫 While it’s unclear if the monarchies really sided with the US in the latest attack, Iran decided to retaliate by targeting US military sites in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain. Even amid these attacks, striking an oil field is something entirely different — it’s a threat not to the US bases, but to the Gulf states’ oil interests. If the ayatollahs’ regime holds long enough to keep this up, we may well see concessions from US Gulf allies. And, of course, fuel prices will skyrocket. ✈️Stay informed - @devilsbelow
