US markets down, oil prices up as Iran war escalates and inflation rises
Oil prices continue their climb after Iran threatened retaliatory strikes on Gulf oil production facilities.
This, coupled with a concerning inflation report, weighed on US markets on Wednesday: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down more than 1.5 percent, while the S&P and the Nasdaq also fell by more than one percent.
Investors were not reassured by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s assertion that the US economy remains strong and that interest rates will likely be cut before the end of the year.
Powell also noted that growth and jobs are holding steady in the United States but the inflation report showed that inflation rose to 3.4 percent last month – and that was even before the war started.
Powell, meanwhile, did acknowledge that the longer the war continues and the higher oil prices go, the more of an impact that will eventually have on the US economy.
Saudi warning to Iran that ‘nonpolitical options’ on the table ‘very significant’
The most significant thing that the Saudi Foreign Minster Prince Faisal bin Farhan told reporters after the diplomatic meeting in Riyadh was that Iran needed to reconsider its course; that these attacks needed to stop, or he said, that they would review their actions because political options are on the table, as well as nonpolitical options.
That’s hugely significant, because GCC countries have been saying for the past two weeks that they want de-escalation and they want dialogue. They’ve been at pains to stress that this is not their war to fight, and that their posture is very much one of defence, not offense.
So the fact that now the Saudi foreign minister is talking about nonpolitical options being on the table is very significant.
He went on to say that Iran’s actions would backfire politically and morally. He talked about the fact that he felt that Iran attacking Riyadh and the Ras Laffan industrial complex in Qatar while this meeting was ongoing in Riyadh was an attempt for the Iranians to blackmail Arab and Islamic countries.
He said they would not be blackmailed; they would not be intimidated, also said that they were very clear that there would be nonpolitical options on the table.
> State of Qatar has declared that the military and security attachés at the Iranian embassy and the staff of the two attachés are “persona non grata,” due to repeated Iranian attacks on Qatari territory.The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement Wednesday evening that it had delivered an official memorandum to the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the country, stating that the State of Qatar considers both the military attaché and the security attaché at the embassy, in addition to the employees of the two attachés, to be persona non grata, and requests that they leave the country’s territory within a maximum period of 24 hours.
This came during a meeting held today by Ibrahim Yousef Fakhro, Director of the Protocol Department at the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the Iranian Ambassador to the State, Ali Saleh Abadi.
The ministry explained that this decision "comes in light of the repeated Iranian targeting and brutal aggression that has affected the State of Qatar and violated its sovereignty and security, in flagrant violation of the principles of international law, Security Council Resolution No. 2817 and the rules of good neighborliness."
The ministry stressed that “the Iranian side’s continued hostile approach will be met with additional measures by the State of Qatar to ensure the protection of its sovereignty, security and national interests.”
The ministry affirmed that the State of Qatar reserves the right to take whatever measures are necessary to protect its sovereignty and security, in accordance with the provisions of international law.

>Qatar: Iran's brutal attacks have crossed all red lines
Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
We strongly condemn the Iranian targeting of energy facilities in Saudi Arabia and the UAE over the past two days.
Iran’s targeting of energy facilities is a blatant violation of international law and a threat to global energy security and navigation.
Iran's brutal attacks on the countries of the region have crossed all red lines.
We stress the need to spare the region the consequences of unjustified attacks.
We stress the need to work towards de-escalation in order to restore security and stability regionally and internationally.
We reiterate the State of Qatar’s solidarity with the sister countries and its support for the measures they take to preserve their sovereignty and security.
Civil Defense is dealing with a fire in the Ras Laffan industrial area resulting from an Iranian attack, with no injuries reported.
The Iranian aggression is a blatant violation of Qatar's national sovereignty, an infringement on its security and territorial integrity, and an unacceptable escalation.
The State of Qatar sent a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the Security Council regarding the Iranian attacks.

holy fucking shit it's happening
>>2745627You realize al Jazeera is not independent media and is controlled by the government of Qatar right? They have continued to give Iran favorable coverage as everyone who watches them here knows to the entire Muslim world and westerners watching. Yet despite this Iran has kept bombing them. Al Jazeera is the most powerful news network in the Muslim world and young westerners who like Palestine use it a lot.
Continuing to attack Qatar over and over will eventually lead to a government official to stop all the relentless defending of Iran on their news network. Iran does not appreciate this favorable coverage at all. I have mentioned this before
btw Ras Laffan energy site exports 30-40% of the worlds helium which is an essential material used in semiconductor manufacturing (to cool the chips)
>>2745635Also if you are going to tell me this is irrelevant you are wrong. Countries spend billions of dollars on trying to win over people abroad and build narratives.

>>2745640*Intraimperialist conflict
>>2745643This meme does not change the reality that al Jazeera has been giving Iran favorable news coverage this entire war everyday. Anyone who watches it knows this. It's depicting everything from a very pro Iran pov
>>2745635you are a fucking retard if you think that al jazeera is not taking an anti-iran, pro-israel stance right now
>>2745645Al Jazeera is not taking an anti iran stance at all in their news coverage. This is an absolute fact. I can read Arabic and I watch their English version too. People here who watch their material too can confirm they have been pro Iran messaging this whole conflict now.
>>2745633>holy fucking shit it's happeningI'll set up the shortwave radio station in the situation bunker.
>>2745647Well then, why don't they demand removal of US bases from Qatar
>>2745649I want to ask you how you construed that Al Jazeera is taking an anti Iran stance in their news coverage during this conflict.
>>2745622Any country that condemns Iran's "aggression" (response) while ignoring the actual aggression and not condemning the aggressors (USA+Israel) deserves to be bombed. They are facilitators and collaborators.
>>2745652Retreat from Busan that should've happened.
>>2745644I don't give a shit about the iSSlamic RepubliKKK of Iran or how they're perceived by the world. I just want them to cause more damage to the U$ and their proxies.
Qatar says Iran crossed ‘red lines’, calls for de-escalation
Qatar’s foreign ministry has released another statement following Iran’s attack on its Ras Laffan gas facility.
“The brutal Iranian attacks on countries in the region have crossed all red lines by targeting civilians, civilian infrastructure……and vital facilities,” the statement said.
“The ministry stresses the need to spare the region the consequences of these unjustified attacks… and to work towards de-escalation in order to restore regional and international security and stability.”

France’s top diplomat to visit Lebanon to show ‘support, solidarity’
Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot is set to visit Lebanon to show “France’s support and solidarity with the Lebanese people,” according to his office.
Barrot will meet with Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, the agency reported, citing a statement from the French foreign ministry.
It cited the ministry as saying that the people of Lebanon have been “dragged into a war they didn’t choose”.
Barrot spoke by phone with his Israeli and US counterparts earlier on Wednesday.
The European Union has meanwhile called on Israel to halt its war on Lebanon which has killed at least 968 people and displaced more than one million in just over two weeks.
“The EU is deeply concerned about the ongoing Israeli offensive in Lebanon which already has devastating humanitarian consequences and risks triggering a prolonged conflict,” a spokesperson said in a statement, adding that “Israel should cease its operations in Lebanon”.
Saudi reserves right to ‘military action’ after Iranian attack
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud says Riyadh reserves the right to take military action against Iran if necessary, following attacks on two refineries in the Saudi capital.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting of foreign ministers in Riyadh, he said Iran must “review its misjudgements”, stressing that such attacks will not bring Tehran any gains.
Prince Faisal said Iran “doesn’t believe in talking to its neighbours” and instead “tries to pressure its neighbours”, adding that this approach will not succeed and will “backfire politically and morally” on Tehran.
Explosions in central Israel as military warns of new Iranian missiles

Iran’s attacks on Gulf neighbours causing ‘anger, disappointment’
Khaled Batarfi, a Saudi-Arabia based political analyst, says Iran’s attacks on its neighbours across the Gulf region have left people “angry and disappointed and shocked”.
“We tried our best in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region and all the cool heads in the region tried to stop this from happening,” said Batarfi. “Iran knows it, because they need us to send messages to America. They used Oman to help them negotiate. They used everyone.”
The analyst said it was difficult to understand why Iran appeared to be directing more attacks at its neighbours than at Israel and the US, and suggested it may in part be the result of the assassinations that took place on the first day of the war.
“All the cool heads, all the intelligent people in Iran are now underground, and that’s what’s happening when the Revolutionary Guards are taking over, because they don’t think, they just push the buttons,” he said.

"Taybeh Ambush": Hezbollah targets 6 Merkava tanks, inflicting casualties on the occupation forces.
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon reported that its fighters targeted a Merkava tank in Baydar al-Faqani in the town of Taybeh with a guided missile at 00:05 on Thursday, March 19, achieving a direct hit.
• At 01:15, the resistance launched another guided missile at 3 additional tanks, resulting in direct hits, bringing the number of tanks targeted to 4.
• At 1:30 AM, the resistance launched guided missiles at two additional tanks in the same location, bringing the total number of tanks targeted to six at the time of this statement. The resistance continues to target the area with rocket and artillery fire, amidst heavy overflights by Israeli warplanes and helicopters.
<Details of the Taybeh ambush
In detail, the resistance stated that the occupation army attempted, for the third time in a week, to advance towards the Al-Baydar Al-Faqani area north of Taybeh. After spotting the enemy forces, resistance fighters set up a well-planned ambush, targeting the force with guided missiles that directly destroyed a tank.
The occupation forces tried to continue advancing towards the Abu Makna area in Deir Siryan, but were targeted again by resistance missiles, which led to the destruction of 5 additional "Merkava" tanks, and enemy soldiers were seen fleeing from the area of engagement.
Following that, the occupation brought in a number of helicopters to evacuate the wounded under heavy fire and smoke cover, but the Mujahideen targeted the evacuation area with rocket salvos and artillery shells, and the firing continued until the moment the statement was issued.
<Occupation forces killed and wounded in ambush in Taybeh
Sources told Al-Mayadeen earlier that an Israeli armored force was ambushed by the Islamic Resistance in the town of Taybeh. Initially, the force was targeted with a guided missile, resulting in a direct hit on a tank. When the rest of the force attempted to evacuate the casualties under heavy fire, the Resistance surprised them with several guided missiles, destroying three tanks and killing and wounding the soldiers inside and nearby.
Our correspondent in southern Lebanon explained that the confrontation is ongoing, and that the enemy is still being targeted by resistance fighters, while Israeli warplanes are carrying out air raids on the town of Taybeh, and Israeli helicopters are flying overhead after targeting the occupation forces that had infiltrated the town, with casualties among their ranks as a result of the violent clashes.
Israeli media reported that the security incident was serious, and that military censorship had imposed a ban on details.
She noted that the toll since the beginning of the war on the Lebanese border has reached two dead from the engineering corps of the "91" division, and 12 wounded from the "Givati" brigade.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy announces targeting of US bases: Commanders' residence and fuel tanks hit
The Public Relations Department of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran announced that the Guard's naval force carried out extensive operations within the 63rd wave of Operation "True Promise 4", targeting the "Menhad" and "Al Dhafra" bases in the UAE, the "Al-Adiri" helicopter base in Kuwait, and the "Mina Salman" base, the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
The statement said that the joint operation, which included missiles and drones, resulted in damage to the commanders' residence building, fuel tanks and equipment halls at the "Minhad" base, and that early warning radars and the central platform at the "Al-Adiri" base were also targeted.
The statement added that fuel tanks and early warning radars at Al Dhafra base and the US Fifth Fleet headquarters at Mina Salman port were hit by devastating cruise and ballistic missiles and drones.
The Revolutionary Guard confirmed that its navy is ready to defend Iran’s water borders in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, and that it is prepared to confront any possible conspiracy from enemies.

NEW YORK, March 18 (Reuters) - Syria on Wednesday launched a plan supported by Washington to rid the Middle Eastern country of legacy chemical weapons that were used against its people by forces under ousted leader Bashar al-Assad.
An international taskforce backed by the United States, Germany, Britain, Canada and France, among others, will track down all remaining elements of the program and destroy them under the supervision of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Syria's ambassador to the United Nations, Ibrahim Olabi, said in an interview.
As many as 100 sites in Syria need to be inspected to determine what toxic munitions remain and how they should be destroyed, OPCW experts have said.

QatarEnergy says “sizeable fires” have broken out at several of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities following the latest Iranian attacks on the Ras Laffan Industrial City.
These were “in addition to the previous attack on Ras Laffan Industrial City on Wednesday” that “resulted in extensive damage to the Pearl GTL (Gas-to-Liquids) facility,” QatarEnergy said.
There has been “extensive further damage” from the new attacks, with emergency response teams “deployed immediately” and no reported casualties, QatarEnergy added.
Trump says ‘no more attacks will be made by Israel’ on Iran’s South Pars gasfield
Trump has criticised the Israeli raid on Iran’s South Pars field, which prompted Tehran’s attacks on energy sites across the Gulf.
In a statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: “Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit.
“The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen. Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility. NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field.”
Trump warns Iran of ‘massive’ attacks if it strikes Qatar’s energy sites again
He said Israel will not be attacking the South Pars gasfield unless Iran “unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar”.
In such a scenario, the US, “with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before”, Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction because of the long term implications that it will have on the future of Iran, but if Qatar’s LNG is again attacked, I will not hesitate to do so,” he added.
>>2745604whats the context of that first clip with the Venezuelans?
Trump and Israel are pretending they're really at odds with bombing critical gas infrastructure, but this is exactly the same routine Biden had with Israel, don't fall for it. It's just damage control from Trump. They're always working in tandem and using US weaponry and resources, don't forget this.

The US Navy's most advanced aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R Ford, is preparing to leave the Red Sea for repairs in Crete after a fire on board injured sailors and caused significant damage, US officials have said.
It will travel to a US Navy base on the island for pierside repairs, authorities said, after a blaze broke out in the laundry facility last week and took hours to extinguish.
The world's largest warship has been beset by problems during its deployment in the Middle East, including an earlier breakdown of its toilet system.
The vessel has been deployed for nearly nine months, and was sent to the region as part of US operations linked to the war with Iran.

The Channel 12 broadcaster says Iranian missile attacks on Israel have triggered air raid sirens in northern Israel, including Kiryat Shmona and the Western Galilee.
This came as the Israeli military said it has identified incoming missile fire from Iran.

By the time it was over, more than 600 sailors and crew members had lost their beds and have since been bunking down on floors and tables, officials said.>The U.S. military’s Central Command said two sailors received treatment for “non-life-threatening injuries.” People on the ship reported that dozens of service members suffered smoke inhalation.And in the category of non-life-threatening, but still not ideal, many sailors have not been able to do laundry since the fire.
