#US government officials: The war on #Iran costs about 1 or 2 billion $ per day.
( https://theintercept.com/2026/03/17/trump-iran-war-cost/ )

#Trump: The #war on #Iran will take maybe "four to five weeks".
( https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/us/politics/trump-iran-war-how-long-timeline.html )

Also #Trump: We need 200 billion $ for the war.
( https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y73gwk1qdo )

So let's do the math: 5 weeks * 7 days/week * 2bn$/day = 70bn$
Almost the same as 200bn!

"Under the headline 'Israel strikes Iran natural gas facility in coordination with U.S.', Axios’ Barak Ravid reports that the Israeli strike was done not just with the knowledge of the Trump administration but with its approval."

"Israel says [the] US helped coordinate gasfield attack, despite Trump's claim he knew nothing about it. We’ve just heard from Pete Hegseth. He reiterated the claim from Donald Trump that the US president knew nothing about the attack on Iran’s South Pars gasfield.

However, Reuters is reporting that Israel says its attack on the gas facilities was coordinated with the United States."

"Decimating government of institutional knowledge, allowing sycophants and cronies outsized power to determine the destinies of hundreds of millions, and privileging the geopolitical and economic interests of fellow autocrats over the wellbeing and safety of Americans are now creating a version of the 'autocratic backfire' that has cost other illiberal leaders their popularity and legitimacy and contributed to their falls from power."

"The job of the inner sanctum is not really to advise on sensible policy, even on the eve of war. It is to repeat the leader’s lies, screen out objective and expert feedback that might conflict with the leader’s will, and create and enforce a version of reality that benefits him."

"There is no thought process into what any of this means long-term. It's not coordinated regime change. It's obliteration or just 'bomb them until they're less of a threat.' The Washington Post asked about the plan, a US official responded: 'Whatever.' ... Reality is not a constraint."

"After disparaging Israel’s earlier attack on oil tanks in Tehran, Trump took to social media last evening to distance himself from the latest Israeli attack, on the South Pars Gas Field in Iran. ...

There’s reporting that Trump is full of shit when he claims the United States knew nothing about the impending Israeli attack."

"With oil briefly topping at over $119 per barrel, Israel attacking Iranian oil facilities, and Iran retaliating against LNG facilities in Qatar, while the Strait of Hormuz remains bottled up except for select Iranian-approved shipments, President Trump is on social media offering his hot takes like an online troll — and with about as much credibility."

"That all changed on Wednesday when Israel (with US blessing) attacked Iran’s South Pars natural gas field — the world’s largest — prompting Iran to retaliate by striking Qatar’s Ras Laffan Industrial City, the world’s largest LNG export complex, causing extensive damage. ... Of course, the attacks immediately increased the market prices for oil and natural gas."

"Trump’s war on Iran escalated on Wednesday. In general, the US has avoided striking oil and gas-producing facilities in Iran in the hopes that a post-war Iran will continue to produce oil and gas for the world market. Iran, in turn, has refrained (generally) from striking oil and gas infrastructure of other nations in the Middle East (other than shipping)."

Despite his opposition to green energy, especially wind farms, it seems #Trump would happily remove the biggest gas field from the planet in a petulant fit of rage. Trump started this fight. He’s the one who can end it by stopping. But it looks like he’s going to chose the worst possible way to continue. #Iran

It’s not good when #Israel with the endorsement of #Trump decide to bomb a gas field in #Iran. Of course Iran has pointed out there are a bunch of oil and gas fields they can and will target in response. How do they think this will end? Time to ramp up the solar panels and wind farms everywhere asap.
