Iraq said it had fired a military commander and launched an investigation after admitting the drone attack on its neighbour's East-West pipeline had originated in one of its provinces bordering Iran.
Saudi Arabia has chosen not to retaliate at this stage, its foreign ministry says, following a call from Iraq's prime minister.
It said the kingdom would "support the efforts of the Iraqi government" to "prevent attacks" launched from the country against neighbouring states.
"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia affirms that it reserves its right to take all necessary measures to safeguard its sovereignty and security, protect its facilities, and ensure the safety of its citizens and residents," the statement added.
The Iraqi prime minister's office in its own statement*** ***said the operations commander in the Maysan governorate - a province which borders Iran - had been removed from his post following confirmation the drone attack had been launched from that region.

So let's do a quick recap:
- Netanyahu made orangy pedophile attack Iran.
- orangy, being a total moron with dementia lost the unwinnable war everyone told him not to start.
- Iran now fully control the strait of Hormuz.
- orangy and his close friends then started profiting from the oil situation and he kept blabbing on and on on how he won the war 58 times, while still bombing schools and weddings in Iran and posting cringe AI made up video on social media.
- Iran had their friends attack a major strategic base/city and conquering 2 islands and the coast to another strait, all that while getting TONS of US military vehicles and, i guess, supply in their sexy sandals.
- somehow, someone, fucked up the pipeline the Saudis where using to circumvent the strait of Hormuz.
- the world is now double fucked, all thanks to a demented pedophile that can just sleep and shit himself.
Thank you guys, the world is truly a better place with your bullshit.

Hey if it makes you feel any better, most of us here, population wise, are all miserable as well.

No, it doesn't make anyone feel any better. You lazy ass Americans keep letting it happen. No protests and no crowds at the capital.
Your American pride, freedom and rah-rah is all bullshit. You're all cowards.

How do you think you got there? By letting it all happen in the workplace. Y'all are soft as babysit and you'll say anything to avoid acknowledging that.

My man, nobody over here is gonna do shit until we all lose our jobs. This shit has to crumble before anything changes, so we just have to wait. I'm not gonna miss a week of work to protest so nothing can change, and now I'm homeless.
Must be nice to have a social safety net.

Not miserable enough.
The world is getting pretty tired of, "Just wait a while, we will do something about this eventually"

Yes.
The black smoke we can see from satellite images is just someone smoking a cigarette and, on another news, the Moskaya is still sailing the seas.

Must be a lie. The US already solved Iraq earlier this century and last, twice. They have democracy now.

Try not to forget, it’s a war started by Israel leading the US (Miss Piggy) to attack Iran … again. Good job Netanyahu and El Pedo! Trump and the US are now officially clowns worldwide. Putin says good job on all the disruptions and chaos to ‘democracy’, lol.
That’s all I’ve got so far.

Get ready for oil at 150 a barrel and gas over 6.50. Last time that happened, we ended up with the 2008 crash a few months later.

If we're really lucky, it'll time well with the AI bubble popping and it'll be a great time for private equity funds.

I don’t think high gas prices were the cause of writing millions of junk mortgages to people with no ability to pay on balloon payment style ARMS…

No. It was one of the reason for the amount of debt in the market though. Energy prices were too high so debt exploded.
