ISRAEL MAY BE PLANNING TO HIT IRAN’S OIL AND GAS FACILITIES.

U.S officials said that Israel has told them privately that they do not feel the need to hit back against Iran in an immediate and massive way.

Despite this, officials in the U.S and Europe fear they could hit economic targets in Iran that would prompt a dangerous retaliation.

Tehran has long signaled that attacks on its oil and gas industry would be a “red line.”

Such a strike would probably prompt attacks from Iran on Western energy interests, potentially disrupting the global economy just before the U.S election.
