… The price of oil is already soaring. … And let's not forget, the one man who benefits from rising oil prices is President Putin of Russia who would suddenly see billions more dollars flood into Kremlin coffers to pay for his war against Ukraine. ...

Agreed Hedda. And Trump's glory of the attacks as 'excellent' will only serve to escalate it all. These greedy psychotic old farts are a menace to the entire world. Israel doing as it wishes. Pre-emptive attacks are against International Law. Trump and Netanyahu have just torn up the rules which of course should be completely condemned by everyone else. United Nations ignored and ridiculed, ICC ignored and ridiculed. Weak fannys like Biden and Starmer have bolstered such actions too. Eventually and possibly soon a big player like China will step in and say enough is enough. Mad men Rule.

What did Israel expect when they attacked Iran..that Iran would sit back and just take it ?.
Iran has not started a war in over 300 years. There may of course be nefarious actions they have done secretly.
Again it beggars the question: if Israel can take out one apartment in Iran that houses a military target whilst leaving the block of flats standing, how come they cannot target Hamas in Gaza but have to destroy the entire infrastructure, every hospital & school? And tens of 1000s of children..
Recall the ugly lie Israel told that the very first hospital destroyed was by a Hamas mis-directed rocket. They eventually admitted the truth that is was them just as they finally admitted they killed their own people during the Hamas attacks.
It's an Israeli tactic..commit an atrocity, blame someone else and then when the clamor dies down, admit the truth when the subject is so exhausted people can't keep up.
Ghastly horrible country riddled with genocidal blood thirsty monsters. I pray the majority of Israelis do not support the horrors done in their name.
And Starmer now says..'Stability in the Middle East is vital..' You have empowered Israel and aided and supported instability you weak fool. And all because you were terrified of being called Antisemitic.

Like Putin, he seems to have no respect for Trump, who's happy to crack down on allies or people in the US but is a wet rag when faced with dictators.
