In the dark of the night, Israel has struck Iranian facilities linked to South Pars, the largest natural gas field in the world, moving ahead towards a serious escalation.

Many Arabian countries like Oman have condemned the attack, calling it as a "Serious Escalation". Even the US President Donald Trump is against further strikes on Energy infrastructures in Iran (Yeah, how will USA loot them after regime change if that happens). But, we all know Israel, they rarely oblige to US desires.

Iran has already started to retaliate, launching strikes on significant energy facilities across the Persian Gulf.

What do you think, can this seriously escalate conflict? Let me know. To all Indians and people who enjoy our content, please join "BharatDefense". We really need your support.

Israel, the religious extremist regime, with clear Nazi practices, must be isolated economically, socially and politically. What they do to someone today, they will do to you shortly. We have seen this history play out before.

the conspiracy theorists are saying that they want to bring forward the end times to force gods hand to protect them and it's a sobering though considering that it means engaging their samson option

it's weird because there is no hard evidence for this but at the same time we have people like Peter Thiel that are involved in this shit saying stuff about the antichrist

“The Samson Option is a deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a "last resort" against any country whose military has invaded and/or destroyed much of Israel.” —Wikipedia

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

it sounds like you're unaware that wikipedia is a terrible source; not even high schools will let you use it as such.

i'll fix the part where they're trying to mislead all of us:

The Samson Option is a deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a “last resort” against any [powerful] country [when] much of Israel [is destroyed].

So they'd go the MAD route?

it's a bit like the dead hand option that the soviet union built as insurance in case united states was ever crazy enough to attack. it would launch nukes at their enemies, whereas the samson option is pointed at both enemies and allies alike as their own insurance policy to take the whole world down w them.

Pretty sure the US was entirely aware of and in support of that strike and any statement contrary is just cowardly bullshit. Trump’s own statement denying US involvement is so transparently begging them to not bomb Qatar again that I can’t see any way to interpret it as anything but a narcissist meeting consequences and immediately shifting blame and trying to deescalate.

Exactly, the US went for massive escalation with an attack on the world's largest gas field, and now wants to end such attacks. It's a really transparent tactic to try and control escalation. If Iran permits the US to decide when to escalate, their deterrence collapses and they will also lose the war. The energy infrastructure of the Gulf States will now burn and US escalation control remains a delusion.

these Zionist fanatics will bring the world to the end of its human civilization. The billionares will be fine while the rest will be enslaved to extreme economic hardships and climate disasters
