U.S. Senator Calls For The Bombing Of Iran’s Oil Infrastructure

Senator Lindsay Graham, a notable hawk in foreign policy, has called for bombing Iranian refineries in retaliation for the country’s supposed involvement in the Hamas attack on Israel this weekend.
Speaking to the media on Monday, Graham said that if there was another attack by groups affiliated with Iran, the United States should “destroy Iran’s oil infrastructure”.
He went on to say that it was “now time for us to consider with our friends in Israel to hit Iran's oil economy,” as quoted by the Washington Examiner.
“If there's an escalation of this war, I am urging the Biden administration and the Israelis to jointly come up with a plan to destroy Iran's oil infrastructure,” the senator said.
“Without oil, they have no money. Without money, the terrorism loses its biggest benefactor. Everybody talks about Iran being responsible. Talk is cheap. It is now time to make them pay a price.”
In fact, the Israeli Defence Forces have said there was no evidence of Iran being involved in the Hamas attacks from this weekend that prompted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare war on the group.
“If this war escalates and you try further to destroy the Jewish state, you're going to be out of the oil business. They have fixed targets that are easy to hit,” Graham also said.
Iran has denied its involvement in the attack while reiterating its support for Palestine.
“Iran unwaveringly stands in solidarity with Palestine; however, it is important to note that Iran is not involved in Palestine’s response, as these actions are solely determined by the Palestinians themselves,” the country’s Mission to the UN said in a statement Monday.
An escalation of the conflict is one of the possible scenarios in the immediate future, leaving oil markets on edge and oil prices elevated. On Monday, the news of the Hamas attack sent oil prices soaring but they quickly retreated.
Uncertainty remains heightened as clashes between Hamas and the Israeli army continue.

I understand wanting to cripple Iran’s ability to fund a war, but it seems doing this would also drive up oil prices on the world stage, and hence, gasoline prices in the United States.
Not to mention what this would do to crawfish prices come February.

Old Lindsey has pretty much wanted to bomb everyone his entire political career. He's one of the worst neocons in DC.

You want a war with China? Because this is how you get a war with China: the number 1 importer of Iranian oil. They have the ability to hit our refineries too

I would say the Billions we just handed them make the US their highest benefactor.
Bait and switch. Word on the street is no more money to Ukraine, so now they are gonna hit errybody in the feels with Israel.
Think about how much security Israel has on the border. How did all those men and equipment get through? Its not like its the US/Mexico border.

Cut off any new money coming in, but the Middle East already has PLENTY of money. They've been collecting our US dollars for decades.

I mean how fricking stupid is that. Yeah let's destroy (not just shut down) some of the finite number of refineries and send the price skyrocketing again

Hey I have an idea! With the world on the brink of a depression like never seen before, the people unhappy around the world, let's commit economic suicide for the world by plunging it further into an energy crisis. Bad idea.
I will never (not that I listen to him anyway) listen to another word Ms. Linsey says about the environment.

You want 10.00 a gallon gas prices? Because this is how we get there.
Posted on 10/10/23 at 8:26 am to ragincajun03
I'm fine with this. Also, deregulate our domestic oil protection capabilities.

Is there a bigger warhawk in our Govt than that closeted queen?

Good old Lindsay.
Evil SOB would gladly send our sons to die in some desert to make himself some money.
