Israel Was Behind Attacks on Major Gas Pipelines in Iran, Officials Say
nytimes.com
Israel carried out covert attacks on two major natural gas pipelines inside Iran this week, disrupting the flow of heat and cooking gas to provinces with millions of people, according to two Western officials and a military strategist affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps.
The strikes represent a notable shift in the shadow war that Israel and Iran have been waging by air, land, sea and cyberattack for years.
Israel has long targeted military and nuclear sites inside Iran — and assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists and commanders, both inside and outside of the country. Israel has also waged cyberattacks to disable servers belonging to the oil ministry, causing turmoil at gas stations nationwide.

Cool, as soon as Iran complies with your request, the US will follow suit. One step closer to peace in the Middle East!
Hold on a sec, I'm getting a phone call from Iran... they say... "DEATH TO AMERICA!"
So we'll just put Iran down as a "maybe" on your proposal.
Oh my bad, I thought we looked down on Iran for those same actions.
Are we fucking hypocrites or should we be better?
But here is one that you should like, we get out of the Middle East and stop meddling in their affairs?
That's the goal. But you don't want to leave the place to collapse, especially considering our economic dependence on oil until we can transition off of it. So in the interests of stability, after the US leaves there needs to be a coalition between Egypt, Israel, and Saudi Arabia to offset Iran's efforts to destabilize the region. That was coming close to fruition when October 7 happened.
But once Hamas is mopped up that plan can happen, and the US doesn't need to be directly involved in the Middle East anymore since the countries there will be well positioned to handle Iran's fuckery on their own.
You always have another reason we need to stay a little bit longer don’t you guys
Just the reality of the world.
Has been my whole life, one reason after another, always a new thing to keep us there a little longer.
Lmk when y’all come up with the next one.
