Uh oh. Iran is probably going to target O&G in the Gulf states again in retaliation.

Looks like that particular facility makes feedstock chemicals for various sorts of foam materials. I’m curious what else it feeds the supply chain for that Israel felt it worth hitting- though possibly it was a shot that missed its intended target, or parts of something that was shot down.

By the time we’re all up in the morning we’ll likely have an idea of if this is going to escalate fast or if both sides will be satisfied with some token hits.

The real barometer of how this will go probably remains Israeli actions against Lebanon. Iran seems committed to backing Hezbollah kinetically, even knowing it invites a world of crap their way.

Reality has a funny way of intruding on "the War is essentially over" and "we destroyed their military" and "we almost have a deal."
