Israel Hits Iran Gas Field - MASSIVE Response Ensues; Gulf Accords Left in Tatters

Israel hit the South Pars gas field and exposed the Abraham Accords as worthless as Gulf-linked energy assets just became disposable. Right so Israel’s desperation as it keeps getting its backside handed to it by Iran, seemingly now knows no bounds, as rather than pretending it is targeting key Iranian figures or military assets, it is now seemingly prepared to set the Gulf on fire and trigger one of the biggest energy crises the world has ever seen. And worst of all, this was apparently so very, very avoidable, at least according to the now former Director of the US Counterterrorism Centre, Joe Kent, who resigned the other day, n o longer able to live the lie this entire war with Iran is based on. [CLIP] That was the guy who’s job it was to assess terrorist threats and produce analysis for senior officials. Who’s job it was to coordinate plans across other US agencies so the government is not working at cross purposes when it comes to terror threats; and who oversaw the maintenance of key terrorism data systems, including the main US government knowledge base on known and suspected terrorists, there telling us that the guy they assassinated the other day, the head of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council was seeking a deal, who was a negotiator and yet war is what we’ve ended up with and of course he has quit over this. He made several very good points there on how the attacks are unifying Iran, not dividing it, that this war will push them towards less moderate leadership and more overt and aggressive directions, based entirely legitimately on the fact they have been attacked, they have been bombed and all whilst negotiations were taking place. But instead of coming to that realisation in Israel, in the Trump administration, across the Gulf; instead of acknowledging the whole nuclear weapon story is a non starter, Israel are now targeting gas fields, which strikes me as truly desperate.
