U.S. considers blowing up Iran's energy grid to force peace
Just when you thought gas prices might stabilize, Washington decides the next logical target in the Middle East is oil refineries.
The U.S. military is reportedly warming up for a new round of airstrikes against Iran, and this time they aren't just looking at military bases. The next wave could hit energy infrastructure — aka power grids and oil facilities.
Trump hasn't officially signed off on it yet, but he already bragged from Camp David that the hits are going to be so bad Iran will eventually just surrender out of exhaustion. Meanwhile, Israeli officials are practically jumping out of their seats to join in, openly talking about setting Iran back four decades.
Never mind that blowing up civilian power grids straddles some pretty uncomfortable lines under international law. Iran's response? They're promising to retaliate by flattening regional U.S. energy targets in return.
Nothing brings stability to global markets quite like two oil-heavy sides threatening to bomb each other's power grids.
