Iran’s military on Wednesday vowed to strike US and Israeli banks and economic centres in the region, after overnight attacks hit a bank in Tehran.
“Last night, the American and Zionist terrorist army, after failing in their military objectives, targeted one of the country’s banks,” a spokesperson for the military’s central operational command, Khatam al-Anbiya.
“People in the region should not be within a one kilometre radius of the banks.”
Hit oil infrastructure, that’s the only thing they will understand. Let the motherfuckers burn, burn motherfucker, burn.
They’re expecting that right now though.
Smashing some banking infrastructure and datacenters offers incredible returns on effort.
Hitting oil is the only card Iran has to play in truth, and it’s not a marginal play. The US cannot withstand high oil prices. Fuck the saudis, they were the biggest proponents of this until the iranians demonstrated they could hit them.
It’s going to have to hit $5/gallon in the Midwest and Southern US before we really see much reaction from the USians, and it would have to be sustained. There will be plenty of grumbling before we hit that point, but no action. That’s my prediction anyway.
i wonder why they didn’t already when the us/isreal keeps going after human infrastructure.
I as well was perplexed by their not closing the strait in the first war. I thought they had this shit worked out. But they seem to know the score now finally. I hate to say it, but raising the price of oil is their only card to play.
I have a theory they’re being conservative in how they handle this because they don’t want to give other Western powers justification for joining the war (justification, not reason); America and Israel are extremely unpopular right now, and joining a war of aggression on their side (one with zero plausibly deniable excuses) is the end of your political career. They’re trying to normalize the idea that they may have to join the army and fight Russia and that’s already unpopular enough, this has zero chance of being widely accepted.
