Wow! Only one of the top 5 producers is in the Middle East. Who'd thunk?

We got plenty oil. Lets nationalize this vital strategic resource and let the rest of the planet fight it out among themselves. :coffee:

Israel Mowing the Lawn....Again

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere (though, I'm sure BDK has a link)
Israel appeared to confirm claims that it was behind a cyber-attack on Iran’s main nuclear facility on Sunday, which Tehran’s nuclear energy chief described as an act of terrorism that warranted a response against its perpetrators.

The apparent attack took place hours after officials at the Natanz reactor restarted spinning advanced centrifuges that could speed up the production of enriched uranium, in what had been billed as a pivotal moment in the country’s nuclear programme.

As Iranian authorities scrambled to deal with a large-scale blackout at Natanz, which the country’s Atomic Energy Agency acknowledged had damaged the electricity grid at the site, the Israeli defence chief, Aviv Kochavi, said the country’s “operations in the Middle East are not hidden from the eyes of the enemy”.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/ ... r-facility
The April 11 explosion that tore through the Iranian nuclear site of Natanz—and which the Islamic Republic has blamed on Israeli sabotage—appeared to have taken around 5,000 centrifuges of the IR-1 type offline, a new report released by the Jewish Institute for the National Security of America (JINSA) has said.

The report assessed that the blast took Iran’s nuclear clock by almost two months, “effectively counteracting Iran’s major expansions of its enrichment capacity since November 2020.”

In subsequent days following the blast, Iran announced its commencement of uranium enrichment to the 60 percent level and the installation of 1,000 new advanced centrifuges.

While those moves are designed to regain leverage and convince the United States to grant Iran sanctions relief, neither of these announcements will, for now, materially accelerate Iran’s ability to sprint for a nuclear weapon, according to the authors of the report Blaise Misztal, vice president for policy, and Jonathan Ruhe, director of foreign policy at JINSA.

Israel is a back at it, I see. Mowing the lawn, never looked so dangerous...

That's brilliant.

Let's consolidate the power of production in the hands of the executive.

I wonder where that has ever had a happy ending?

As far as I'm concerned, Israel can do whatever the F they feel the need to do. They're living in the middle of it and are going to get hit first. We sit over here on the other side of the world.

:nod: Iran can strike Jersualem. It can't strike NYC. We're removed from the direct threat. Let the Israelites defend themselves.


And their policy of destroying everything after billions of dollars have been invested is gold. Rinse, wash, repeat. :thumb: :thumb:

Israel taking care of business again.


REVEALED: How Iran's top nuclear scientist was assassinated by a killer robot machine gun kitted out with AI that allowed sniper 1,000 miles away to fire 15 bullets after disguised spy car had pinpointed his location

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, 62, dubbed the 'father' of Iran's illegal atomic program, was ambushed November 27 while driving to his home in Absard, near Tehran

New details emerged in a NY Times report, based on interviews with American, Israeli and Iranian officials

Fakhrizadeh is said to have been killed by a Mossad sniper who pulled the trigger from an undisclosed location more than 1,000 miles away via satellite

The gun which fired the fatal shots was positioned in a pickup truck lying in wait

There was also a second disguised spy car positioned three-quarters of a mile earlier along the route in a spot where Fakhrizadeh's car would make a U-turn

Cameras in this vehicle positively identified Fakhrizadeh and his position in the car sending this information back to the remote sniper

AI technology was programmed to compensate for 1.6 second delay between the camera capturing the images and the trigger being pulled

It's pretty cool (and scary) what we're capable of these days. :nod:

I guess if you didn't realize that capability existed, then you'd be surprised. CROW systems have been around for about 10 years or so. When I was in the defense industry, I saw video, from Afghanistan, of one fire at a motorcycle and take out the driver. We used to mount them to MRAPs (with omnidirectional mics which would pick up a gun shot/rpg, and then automatically turn the turret in that direction).
