Iranian attack hits Israeli oil refinery in Haifa, some damage reported

Well who\`d have thought that starting an illegal war in the gulf states would effect gas prices ..

When Lindsey graham said “we’re going to make a lot of money” he wasn’t talking about you

Iran is using a tit-for-tat strategy. If their oil infrastructure gets hit, then Gulf oil infrastructure gets hit. They are also announcing where they strike and the specific reason why (as in, ‘we struck the oil infrastructure in x country in retaliation for missiles launched from their territory.’)

Good for the oil companies...

Just wait till it turns to water plants

Trump blamed the Iranian attack on Israel and said the US didn't know about it and Warren Israel not to do it again

Typical liberal. Trump is doing more for green energy than any Dem ever would have and he's being criticized for it. He's literally blowing up the oil extraction infrastructure and you still aren't happy. He even tricked Iran into helping! ;P

This seems like by far the best way for Iran to get pressure on Israel and the US to behave tbh. It’s destructive, but it’s clear they have a strategy, they also warn them every time that if they do x, we’ll return with x. The Islamic republic can suck it, but they clearly have a plan and are sticking to it. Masterclass in asymmetric warfare imo

Honestly it was a matter of time before Haifa was hit. Wouldn't be surprised if Eliat is next. 

Probably good for countries that have invested in alternative energy sources.

Hahaha bring in electric!

Good news for bicycles

Not just gas prices, literally everything in the economy revolves around petroleum costs. Plastic manufacturing for one.

Yes. Makes sense though. Cripple the enemy’s economy, and reduce war supplies.

Magic 8 ball says "maybe"

Maybe something will finally happen around here and these dinosaurs start acting in congress.

Get ready for gassing up pay cheque by pay cheque lol

Great for the environment though!

And it's not like closing the straight of Hormuz. You can open or close it in a day by saying you will or won't attack ships. The price increases are here until they are rebuilt.

At least maybe now more countries will decide to stop Iran’s military capability

Nah no one's buying Israeli fuel. Only the attacks on arab refineries will screw your gas prices

fantastic for people who are invested in oil though

Let’s stop playing this both sides game

Have you not met the people responsible for these decisions?

Jimmy Carter thought since we went though rationing and sacrifice in WWII and that brought us together with collective patriotism to solve problems, we could use that same sense of civic duty to solve today's problems. He was dead f****** wrong, rugged individualism and f*** them kids was the demand by the Me Generation.

I have the best egg baskets. People everywhere are jealous of my egg baskets. They come to me and say “Donnie, nobody makes egg baskets as sturdy as yours.” Especially when Biden stole my election. Oh the egg baskets were terrible under him. The eggs were so expensive you couldn’t even put 6 of them in a basket, let alone a dozen. A harrible basket and a harrible president we had…

Horseshoe Theory might actually be real after all, just not in the way it was hypothesized MAGA is so stupid, shortsighted, reactionary, and high on their own right wing propaganda that they managed to be so Fascist they ended up turning into radical eco terrorists accelerating the destruction of Big Oil more than any militant environmentalist could have dreamed of achieving in their lifetime

No shit. The whole point behind renewables and EVs, besides the environmental benefits, is that this county is truly energy independent and some situation in the Middle East doesn’t hold the U.S hostage. The era of fossil fuels is coming to an end, this will accelerate green energy adoption.

Wind farms harm whales by turning them gay.

Republicans are smart. It's why they turn to religion to explain the world to them and what to base the way they live on a book written 1400 years ago. 

Lol, they don't care. They could care less. They raped and murdered little girls. The price of oil does not matter to these shit stains, they'll find a way to grift and enrich the scum around them either way.

Didn't trump brag about how they were going to make a lot of money because of oil going up? Dude couldn't care less about humans. "Now I have the tallest buildings in New York" -post-9/11 Trump.

It was the cost of baskets that was bringing up the price of eggs! By reducing the number of baskets, Trump single handedly brought down the price of eggs! Now give him his ballroom and get back to work! /s

Not only that, but not even refilling the strategic oil reserve despite unusually low oil prices and promising to do it during the election campaign

They also had the intellectual capacity to understand and believe what the military told them about conflict with Iran. I think both issues are hugely problematic with this administration. They're going to be very motivated economically and politically; then they're going to be greedy, shortsighted, ignorant and inept about whatever they do.

Iran was definitely a huge problem in the region but one that required a much more delicate touch than this. There was clearly growing support for a more secular and liberal government there and we should have given support there. Now that opportunity is squandered.

He didn't know much but he knew oil and dodging 

But the billionaire class hasn't burnt the world to crisp yet. F****** around will continue as long as there is a dollar left in our pockets and it's not in the pocket of billionaires

Not as long as I like my vintage hot rods.

Don't forget he raped children.

Not bad for a country that somehow loses the war every otherday.

Netanyahu would never have this opportunity again, they played trump like a fiddle. Israel knows it's unleashed chaos but they believe they can "do enough" ie fragment Iran into a subdued state... it's just not quite working out like that yet

Well for starters they have the blackmail videos of trump and other leaders raping children from the Israeli funded Epstein operation.

Theyve got the dirt on you know who ..

Well, in the 1930s, cabinets in Imperial Japan routinely tolerated intiaitves by the Kwantung Army.

Everyone knew it would. Here’s the thing though, the response has still been restrained because Iran is doing this to discourage more oil attacks. Once they have less to lose, they’ll attack oil infrastructure at more disproportionate rates.

US is an exporter of oil. US oil companies are benefiting from the price increase while everyone else suffers the rising costs

Because Israel owns the US. Every billion dollar industry here is ran by them.

Because this war is absolutely in the U.S. empire’s best interests, they are one of the few governments on earth who have consistently stood up to the U.S. and therefore the U.S. has an interest in bringing them to heel.

Israel doesn't care. [They get their oil from Central Asia and Russia. ](https://oilchange.org/publications/an-update-on-the-origins-of-israels-fuel-supply/) >[*Behind the Barrel: An Update on the Origins of Israel’s Fuel Supply*](http://behindthebarrel.org/), details the global fuel shipments that fuel Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The report tracks over 21 million tonnes of crude oil and refined fuels delivered to Israel between November 2023 and October 2025, including jet fuel used for military aircrafts. The data shows that Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Russia, and the United States were among the largest suppliers of oil and refined products during this period. While direct shipments from Brazil appeared to end in early 2024, [evidence suggests](https://www.esquerdadiario.com.br/Como-o-petroleo-brasileiro-vira-combustivel-na-Italia-pra-abastecer-Israel-e-o-genocidio) that Brazilian crude may have continued reaching Israel indirectly via Italy’s Sarroch refinery in Sardinia. >Russia was the largest supplier of refined fuels, accounting for nearly half of total refined products. Yeah. Israel has been gorging themselves on supposedly sanctioned Russia oil over the past few years. People focus on how Trump lifting sanctions helped Russia, but it also really helped Israel secure a fuel source out of range of Iran's counters.

Except the kid bangers are still getting away

It’s all (mostly) there if you search it out.

That's on purpose

It doesn’t really matter where the refinery is, the production cuts are felt across the world. The people who were buying the gas from other places will start buying it from the remaining refineries, and those companies will be selling to the highest bidder

Humans need a reason to destroy their brothers and themselves .. this time it's oil. A hundred years back it was...

I'm not upset about Israel getting their just desserts but going tit for tat with oil fields and refineries, while strategic, is less than ideal from an environmental view
