U.S. Dismayed by Israel's Iran Fuel Strikes, sources say

Monday, March 09, 2026

Israel's strikes on 30 Iranian fuel depots Saturday went far beyond what the U.S. expected when Israel notified it in advance, sparking the first significant disagreement between the allies since the war began eight days ago, according to a U.S. official, Israeli official and a source with knowledge.

U.S. and Israeli forces expanded their bombardment of Iran late Saturday, including with strikes on fuel depots near Tehran, as Iran's de facto leader vowed to continue retaliatory strikes and to make the nation's enemies "pay the price" for attacking it. Follow live updates. trib.al/54BAX8H

"U.S. Dismayed by Israel's Iran Fuel Strikes"

I don't see any dismay from Republicans.

Americans who have been paying attention should be used to Republicans starting wars in the Middle East by now.

"Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!

Rising gas prices are causing a steep rise in consumer prices and will slow any future economic growth. It is a tax on all Americans.

Bibi waited 40 years to get a president he can order around like a trained dog in Dotard.

Good job trumpturds.

That's what happens when you elect a president who has videos of him raping children in his past.

You really think Israel would not use them to get what they want?

Dummkopf Trumpf bleated about "the complete destruction of Iran" and so Benjamin Netanyahu delivered.

The attack on the oil fields brought black smoke over Tehran, completely blocking out the sun.

Zaman Arisi

This is mass ecocide.

Trumpf and Netanyahu are not only bloodthirsty war criminals, but environmental terrorists.

How much lung, skin, and eye damage these two monsters caused to the people of Iran will be determined later, as well as how many innocent animals will die from this.

Innocent Iranian Jews in Tehran are being punished, as well as Iran's agriculture.

Which US POTUS has ever stood up to Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu over the past 25 years? Was it only Barack Obama?

US-manufactured weapons and the hardworking American taxpayer have caused this environmental catastrophe on the people of Iran and the rest of the world when the four winds spread the suspended toxic chemicals in the smoke throughout the Middle East and beyond.

From what I recall, the Greeks, Turks, and Arabs share the same word for disaster: berbat.

AI informs me that Farsi speakers use the word fajiyeh.

We did this.

... went far beyond what the U.S. expected ...

Do Israel and the US have the same end goal for their war with Iran?
