Trump says he bombed Iran

[Swada]

I asked AI to predict what would happen if Iran took out Iraq and saudia arabia oil fields... 
 The Global Impact of the Destruction of Middle Eastern Oil FieldsAs of March 2026, the U.S. and Israeli military campaign (dubbed "Operation Epic Fury") has heavily targeted Iranian fuel depots and energy infrastructure. In response, Iran has effectively bottlenecked the Strait of Hormuz, causing oil prices to surge past $100 a barrel.
If Iran were to escalate this conflict by successfully destroying the oil fields of neighboring heavyweights like Saudi Arabia and Iraq, it would trigger an unprecedented global shockwave. Here is what the world would face:
1. An Unprecedented Energy Price ShockSaudi Arabia produces around 10 to 12 million barrels of oil per day, and Iraq produces over 4 million. Combined with the loss of Iranian oil and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz (which usually handles 20% of the world's oil), the global market would instantly lose roughly 25% to 30% of its daily oil supply.

• Price Skyrocket: Analysts project that in a scenario of total disruption, crude oil prices could immediately spike to $150 to $200+ per barrel.
  
• Gas at the Pump: Consumer fuel prices would reach record highs overnight, paralyzing civilian travel and logistics.
  

2. Global Economic Recession and Hyper-InflationOil is the lifeblood of the global supply chain. A sudden, massive deficit would cause a ripple effect across all economic sectors:

• Supply Chain Collapse: The cost of maritime shipping, aviation, and trucking would multiply. This means the price of food, medicine, electronics, and basic consumer goods would skyrocket.
  
• Industrial Freeze: Sectors reliant on petrochemicals (plastics, fertilizers, manufacturing) would face severe material shortages, leading to mass layoffs and factory closures.
  
• Central Bank Crisis: To fight the sudden hyper-inflation, global central banks would be forced to aggressively raise interest rates, which would choke borrowing and heavily trigger a severe global recession.
  

3. Devastation of Asian EconomiesWhile the U.S. has robust domestic oil production (shale) and strategic reserves, Asia is highly vulnerable.

• China, India, Japan, and South Korea import the vast majority of their energy from the Persian Gulf.
  
• A total loss of Saudi and Iraqi oil would lead to immediate rolling blackouts, fuel rationing, and severe industrial contraction in these nations, deeply impacting global manufacturing output.
  

4. An Environmental CatastropheWe are currently seeing the environmental fallout of strikes on Iranian facilities, with reports of "black rain" and toxic air over Tehran.

• If Saudi and Iraqi oil fields were ignited or destroyed, the environmental disaster would be apocalyptic.
  
• It would dwarf the 1991 Gulf War oil spills and fires in Kuwait, releasing millions of tons of toxic smoke, soot, and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, causing regional respiratory crises, poisoning water supplies, and accelerating short-term climate anomalies.
  

5. A Permanent Geopolitical ShiftA sudden end to Middle Eastern oil dominance would permanently alter world power:

• The Winners: Countries with massive domestic energy reserves—primarily the United States, Canada, and Russia—would hold immense geopolitical leverage as desperate nations look to them to fill the void.
  
• Accelerated Energy Transition: The crisis would act as a brutal catalyst. Governments would pour trillions of dollars into nuclear power, solar, wind, and domestic synthetic fuels in a desperate bid for energy independence, permanently moving the world away from its reliance on Middle Eastern fossil fuels much faster than previously projected.

Yeah ... what is going on doesn't match the rhetoric coming out of the White House.
There is no way the objectives will be met in 4-5 weeks.
No way this will be over and there will be 'satisfactory' regime change in that amount of time.
Iran has all their assets underground.  
They are just waiting for us to run out of JDAMS and then they'll pop up 
and bomb the hell out of everyone and everything.

Iran is a mountain fortress. A huge one at that. Boots on the ground would make the Vietnam war look like a holiday. The Kurds have plenty reasons to mistrust the US - they ain't gonna be your huckleberry.

Killing Iranian leadership only made them martyrs and helps strengthening social cohesion and military resolve. Iran is absolutely able to sit this one out and inflict considerable pain on the world economy by closing the strait of Hormuz and attacking oil and gas infrastructure in countries hosting US bases.

So unless the whole disclosure in June media campaign is actually connected somehow I don't see this ending well for Trump, the US and the world in general.

Sorry for reposting but first attempt came out wrong and I don't understand how to fix this in edit afterwards. Anyone know?

Select, cut and paste your reply so it sits bellow the reply text boxes.

No no no... The Jew = Bad narrative needs to die now... Its the main part of Iran's righteous narrative, and that needs to go away forever.

I am going more for the term Satanist to describe the worst of the bunch. Into trauma, abuse and exploitation. Play nasty with a history of war in the Talmud. A strong 'service to self' drive with a lack of care to the consequences of their actions that do not directly affect themselves. 

For your more religious Jew, in the Old Testament" or "Hebrew Bible", the way I interpret the first 3 commandments from Moses telling Pharaoh No:

1: There is only one God that we all share.
2: God contains everything.
3: Keep it respectful.

With how things like 9/11, 7/10 and Gaza is really going, to stop the bad narrative start at home, prosecute the Epstein files. For those with deeper access, the evidence is pretty clear.

I disagree.

The Iranian regime ran on bluff and bluster for decades.

I hope you are right.
I'm just not seeing it.

[FlyersFan]

Can't wait for the opening bell!

Yeah, I know ... it's got me nervous.
We are retired, can't work now, and are counting on our 401K.

Just checked the futures.
Dow down 500 points in the futures.
Coupled with the 3,000 points down in the past two weeks.
Not pretty.

[FlyersFan]

Got any evidence on that? Been +300 years since Iran's last offensive military campaigns. In looking at the more recent war crimes record between Israel and Iran, I don't see Iran winning first place for the largest sponsor of terror.

Iran IS the largest sponsor of terror.   They've been at war forever.   They just don't officially declare it and do 'military campaigns'.   They are involved all around the world in terrorism and bad things.

Hegseth says Iran will surrender and Trump will set the terms.

HERE

I don't think they understand that they are dealing with millions of 
nutjob religious extremists.    Those type of people never surrender.
They just take everyone else down with them when they fall.

[Kwaka]

Iran IS the largest sponsor of terror.

Got ant evidence on that? Israel looks worst with what I have seen so far.

[FlyersFan]

Got ant evidence on that? Israel looks worst with what I have seen so far.

That's because you hate Israel and falsely think Gaza is a war crime
when in fact it is just Israel defending itself from the IRAN backed
'palestinians' and Hamas.  Same with Israel defending itself against Hezbollah,
which is again IRAN backed.   Same with Israel defending itself against
the IRAN backed Houthis.
