Turns out TACO doesn't work all the time when he isn't holding all the cards as he thinks

May all Trump's SPX call options expire worthless.

Oof, that looks bad. I don't know much about the overall industry to know how bad that it is in the big scheme of things, but I take it that it must be really significant.

It looks like it was probably these storage tanks. Fortunately there is no refinery or anything nearby, and it's not a very large tank farm. Possible other stuff got hit nearby too, there is an ammonia plant the the NW. But you can't tell how much damage from those videos. They look bad, but probably not a huge loss relative to what could be targeted.

Here's the one in Hardisty, for comparison.

U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of collapse any time soon after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, according to three ​sources familiar with the matter.
A "multitude" of intelligence reports provide "consistent analysis that the regime is not in danger" of collapse and "retains control of the Iranian public," #said one of the sources, all of whom were granted anonymity to discuss U.S. intelligence findings.

To the surprise of…?

Remember when the orange turd was yelling at Zelensky "you are gambling with WW3". Another projection I guess?

It's always been projection. He criticized Biden and Harris many times claiming they'd start wars, even specifically with Iran.

Yes, Ukraine has blown up hundreds of these tanks.

All that said, the Cheeto clearly bit way more than he could chew and this is a full on international disaster.

Shahed drones are a nightmare to handle, and Iran has several thousands of these in stock at any time and can mass produce them. And they would be easily to infiltrate as well in areas in the NA.
