Tax Dollars Fueling Gas Price Hikes Via Israel’s Attack on Iranian Oil Depots
In a significant escalation, a US-Israeli military coalition bombed major oil depots and fossil fuel infrastructure in and around Tehran, causing widespread fires and plumes of black smoke. The attacks, described as “apocalyptic” by observers and a “major escalation” of an already criticized war, led to dramatic price jumps in crude oil futures. Iran’s Ministry of Oil confirmed multiple depots were targeted, while the Israeli military stated the facilities were used by Iran’s armed forces, calling it a strike to dismantle military infrastructure. Critics contend these attacks on everyday infrastructure aim to break the Iranian people’s backs.
