Israel carried out covert attacks on two major natural gas pipelines inside Iran this week, disrupting the flow of heat and cooking gas to provinces with millions of people, according to two Western officials and a military strategist affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps.

The strikes represent a notable shift in the shadow war that Israel and Iran have been waging by air, land, sea and cyberattack for years.

Israel has long targeted military and nuclear sites inside Iran — and assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists and commanders, both inside and outside of the country. Israel has also waged cyberattacks to disable servers belonging to the oil ministry, causing turmoil at gas stations nationwide.

    Ah, yes, the US has to do a lot of stuff to defend their pet colonialist genocidal regime. Also I love how you’re calling the Houthis genocidal when they were victims of a US-supported genocide.

      How many gay people have the Houthis crucified? These aren’t nice people despite what your social media feed may have been telling you.

        Sure but calling them genocidal is downright wrong and in very poor taste given that they’re actual victims of genocide.

            Jews are victims of genocide but that doesn’t seem to stop anyone from accusing them of it when it’s far less than what they’ve done is far less than what the Houthis have done.

            You’re disgusting.

            What did the Houthis do that’s worse than putting an entire culture in a giant prison?

              Why is this “open air prison” meme still going? I think it’s obvious now why Israel wanted a fence between them and Hamas FFS.

        That’s not related. Saudi tortures and executes people and they’re America’s allies. Meanwhile don’t try to downplay genocide because they don’t have the same morality on LGBT you have.
