Israel Just Hit Iran's Energy System || Bonus Video
Israel has hit Iranian energy infrastructure for the first time; the strike hit a processing facility tied to the South Pars gas field, which could lead to major electricity shortages in Iran within days. This marks a broader shift in this conflict toward targeting energy systems, which is cranking up the heat in Iran.

Is there a reason you mispronounce Qatar to sound like “gutter” instead of “Ka-Ta-rr” to sound like Tartar? Cause you do it to an extreme…
That’s the way they pronounce it
It's going to get hot this summer....
So the idea is that we encourage the Iranian people to rebel for regime change?.... How is attacking civilian infrastructure going to help with that? The military has all the resources. Doesn't make sense.
With Bibi & Baby… ain’t never gonna be common sense. They’re 2 completely useless narcissistic twatwaffles.. burning the world down to avoid prison.
Peter, could you please do a post about the impact of the interruption in the helium supply chain mentioned in a story in your "March 18, 2026 - Daily News Digest"?
That would be interesting. Helium is rare, USA used to have TONS and our government basically said, take it all and gave it away for nothing. Yesterday a bunch of party balloons flew by on their way out to the middle of the pacific ocean, filled with fossil helium, no doubt. Formed over millennia, pissed away and wasted. BAU IOW
Why don't you tell us all this before the war began? That Iran has such giant vulnerabilities? If it's airforce was taken out. Can you at least tell us now how the war will unfold?? What is happening on the ground in Iran? Where do the people stand and what is the status of the Basij? Please Peter, give us clarity!!
With Iran having shut down the internet across the country, getting information out of Iran by anyone on the ground is likely nearly impossible. It also is likely to life-threatening for anyone willing or able to share such highly sensitive info.
It's a warning hit. If you keep attacking the gulf oil rigs we destroy all of it.
Worth reinforcing that Peter emphasizes that this strike does not affect Iran’s exports, since Iran exports little to no natural gas anyway—so the impact is internal, not global.
It seems some people just enjoy watching the world burn - especially in the ME.
Only a matter of time before there is major blowback affecting the U.S. from all of this.... And we'd deserve it.
The last time the US cut off oil supplies to a country did not bode so well.
So the pissing match starts fo realz. It is just a matter of time until Iran is able to hit the desalinization plants that feed Riyadh and the other population centers that are scattered around the Arab states.
If I were Iran I would be calling my Gulf neighbors to explain that if they permit their airspace to be used in attacks on Iran's grid or hydrocarbon industries they can expect retaliation in kind. EDIT: Looks like I was behind the curve. Bloomberg reports massive damage at Qatar LNG plant from missile strike.
Netanyahu needs to get his balls cut off release the s*** he created in the Middle East
I "guess" the attack on internal critical infrastructure makes some kind of sense if the goal is to further degrade and cripple the Iranian regime by turning off the "lights" leaving it more exposed to an internal revolution (like what is happening in Cuba). My concern is that the Iranian people aren't up to the task of overthrowing their government. There have been mass protests in the past 5-6 months and Iran has no problem killing anyone who protests and ~5-6K people have been killed by the Iranian security apparatus in the last 5-6 months. Kinda need a ground game to speed this along. Logically, the next step is to arm the Kurds or other resistance groups within Iran....? (editorial comment- I am not sure if you can associate the word logic with Trump) Not a fan of Trump at all, but also REALLY not a fan of the Iranian regime...
The people suffer, the regime carries on. The 1,000,000 IRGC will fight in the dark, eating insects. 1 or 2 drones a week shuts the shipping lanes, equal ordinance on irans neighbours will keep them shut down. The maths is simple.
Well, I guess Bibi is in charge now.
Always has been
Thanks Peter
Doesn’t matter if the world burns to the ground as long as they get what they want from the goyem huh
It's in their mantra to "fuck the Goyem" whenever necessary!
I think the story is broader - if Iran still has strike capabilities which they have shown they do. They have said they are now going after their neighbors energy infrastructure. those countries export. What happens to the neighbors could Impact global energy for a couple years or more.
Decades. The impact will take decades to recover from.
straight from the russian playbook. are they TRYING to goad iran into smashing demona?
Just to confirm that Israel is perfectly fine with wracked Iran and Middle East overall in the compete chaos, contrary to believe that it is seeking for regime change. The world is going to change in ways we cannot predict anymore. Iran will start shooting every energy hub in the region, do not see why not. They have escalation dominance and they seem to have also more endurance than any of the attackers .
Agree they have been building for this moment for years. they felt comfortable enough not drone stockpile and mfg capacity to supply Russia. I suspect they have more of those drones stashed than intel community is aware of.
Gutter and Iran
“Aireinian” haha :)
