Trump could attack Iran within next month (ABC Australia), Irans not amused, oil tanker bombed

Seems the US / Iran conflict is heating up very quick.

"Senior figures in the Turnbull Government have told the ABC they believe the United States is prepared to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, perhaps as early as next month, and that Australia is poised to help identify possible targets."

“As a soldier, it is my duty to respond to your threats ... If you wants to use the language of threat ... talk to me, not to the president (Hassan Rouhani). It is not in our president’s dignity to respond to you,” Soleimani

"IRAN-BACKED Yemeni rebels aligned have launched an attack on two oil tankers passing through the strategically important Red Sea shipping lane of Bab al-Mandeb – prompting Saudi Arabia to announce that was “temporarily halting” all oil shipments along the route."

Even if that was a false flag event to help egg on the war with Iran it is time to do some serious Oil futures trading !!

Very stupid if Iran or the Yemeni rebels were actually behind the attack.

You mean the Neocon Agenda may go HOT very quickly, now?

Since the "liberals" and their "Anti-War Movement" proved to be a partisan farce, I'm ready to step up. I've preempted it for a decade now.

Like Iran is a threat to US.

Mofo FFS!

No kidding, they're asking for an ass kicking when they are destroying millions of dollars of a country's resources. That wasnt military, those were civilian workers just transporting resources.

I mean how dare Iranians try to have a say in things that happen in their own neighborhood! "We" (United Statesians) have already claimed ALL of those territories as part of "our" imperialist domain. Who the F do they think they are?!?

Well, it was only recently, week or so maybe?, that I remember reading....

"The United States Now Produces More oil than Saudi Arabia" etc etc....

This is just another way for the Arabs to Artificially inflate the price of oil, the Once Peak Oil Product that was to run out in 2005!!, but Now is Everywhere in huge gluts....particularly as humans no longer use cars like they use to, or go for weekend drives in the country, cars now being much more efficient than last century.....the World actually uses less oil than we use to.
Regardless of what people want to tell you.

Most people, I know, rarely use their cars, they use bikes, public transport or just plain walk, where they can.

This whole keeping oil cost high has slapped these countries in the face.....people just wont pay.

I can see the time...soon, with most EM and hybrid cars and trucks around, where you will have to buy an E85 type mixture of high octane race gas, for your classic or hot streeter, at the supermarket in 20 litre (4 gallon) drums, just like we use to in the '70s with 100 and 110 octane or Methanol......but it will be made from recyclable Plastics, canola etc, and fermented rubbish (Alcohol) and Completely snub these Middle East Pirates that have tried to rape the West for years.

Good Riddance Sheik ya Broomstik.

Still 2 thorns in the ME, remove 1 and the other will fall!

Senior figures in the Turnbull Government....

It's like "Somebody told me..."

Correct me if I'm wrong but have you never voted out a war time president?.

So your sarcastically saying it was ok to kill a bunch of civilians, gotcha

I'm not a great fan of death, let alone anybody else's death.

But when Iran plays the "We're gonna get you" card

I nearly choked I was laughing so much.

Nice one Soleimani You are a total crack up. If you had read the news or looked on the internet for the past ten years or so, you would see that you butt is gonna get a whooping in minutes.

Good luck Salami, it's been brief but you have provided me with no end of laughs.

A shining example of a big headed American patriot that the whole planet is sick and tired of hearing or reading about...

Glad that you had laughs, sh**ts and giggles about the possible death of thousands of innocents in what could turn into a nasty scenario. (Even though you mentioned that you are not a great fan of death...)

Enjoy your summer in your armchair Mr "HOORA MURICA..." knowing damned well that your continent will never be touched by the massive influx of refugees that your wars inflict on the rest of the planet.

For Petes sake you folks always need a big bad bogeyman... what is wrong with people like you!?

It's a distraction from what is going on in the us.
Gotta have another war soon it makes people rich.....

I think they wore them for communication, the pilots. Must have had earphones and microphones in them.

I agree though. It's gonna be real hard times for a lot of people if the United States gets into another quagmire over there Not something to be wishing for.
I don't think it'll happen, cooler heads will prevail. The States won't attack Iran over words or proxy excursions. I hope.

He, nor I, nor you, have any control over any of this. relax.

I'm well relaxed mate just about to uncork a nice bottle of Rosé for lunchtime...

It just pisses me off to hear "Hooray Henrys" blabbing their stuff out and giving a negative sterotypical overview of our USA cousins when most of the folks over there don't have the same mindset (IMO)

Warmest regards

Well it's rather stupid of the Australian government to even speak of it, especially if true which I am highly doubtful of. ABC sources need more vetting, perhaps a polygraph for all.

No doubt the region is bubbling again but it has always been a source of turmoil. I can see a request for targeting Intel, but doubtful of anything more than the usual rhetoric from both.

It could always change, but just last week someone in Tehran was signaling for a meeting with Trump, then it changed again.

Lots of domestic issues for Iran, the sanctions do not help and the inner fighting within the government is something to watch.

America the biggest threat to world peace. Like was already said, they always need a bogeyman.
Like Putin said, yiz are not the world's police

I fail to believe the US needs Australia's help in identifying Iranian targets.

Alright Alec.....

I'm going to take strongly worded, possibly in caps response to Iran while the media milks this for everything they can for 1000.
