JUST IN: Footage shows the moment a missile strikes the BAPCO oil facility in Bahrain.Several large fires are now burning at the Bahrain Petroleum Company’s main refinery in Ma’ameer after a short-range ballistic missile hit the site and nearby infrastructure.
Iran hasn’t claimed responsibility.

Prominent UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just published an open letter to Trump. It's brutal."Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?"
Al Habtoor's a major figure: billionaire, former diplomat, outspoken political voice in the Gulf. When he talks, UAE leadership's listening.
His questions:
* Was this your decision or Netanyahu's pressure?
* Did you calculate collateral damage before firing?
* You placed GCC countries at the heart of danger they didn't choose
* Your "Board of Peace" initiatives were funded by Gulf states. Now we're getting attacked. Where did that money go?
* You promised no wars. You've conducted operations in 7 countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, Venezuela
* 658 airstrikes in your first year back = Biden's entire term (which you criticized)
* War costs $40-65 billion for operations, possibly $210 billion total
* Your approval rating's down 9% in 400 days
* Americans were promised peace. They're getting war funded by their taxes
The sharpest line: "Before the ink has dried on your Board of Peace initiative, we find ourselves facing military escalation that endangers the entire region. So where did those initiatives go?"
Al Habtoor's not some random critic. He's establishment. Connected. When UAE elites start publicly questioning Trump's decision-making, that's America's closest Arab allies saying "we didn't sign up for this."
The letter ends: "True leadership is not measured by war decisions, but by wisdom, respect for others, and pushing toward achieving peace."

THIS IS MASSIVE AND NO ONE IS COVERING IT.Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar are all talking about pulling their money out of America.
All of them. At the same time.
→ Billions in future US investments — about to be canceled
→ The biggest oil economies on earth are walking away
→ They're doing it because of the Iran war pressure
→ US dollar dominance takes a direct hit
→ Stock market will feel this within days
→ Oil prices about to spike
→ Gas prices about to follow
→ Your groceries, your rent, your bills — all going up
Four of the richest nations on the planet just looked at America and said: We're done.
This isn't a trade dispute.
This is the beginning of a global financial shift.
The money that held the US economy together is leaving.
And when it leaves — it's not coming back.
Pay attention. This week changes everything.

Amerika is een wereldwijde maffia met The Don aan het hoofd. Behalve dat ze aan afpersing en drugshandel doen bieden ze ook 'bescherming' aan voor eenieder die beschermingsgeld betaalt. Vandaar dat Trump vorig jaar in het midden-oosten geld kwam innen. Dat geld willen de golfstaten nu terug, omdat alle Patriot- en Tomahawk-raketten naar Israel gaan en de golfstaten een open doelwit zijn voor Iran en ze dus in de steek zijn gelaten door Amerika. Nu de voorraden binnen een week (!) al op dreigen te raken heeft Trump opdracht gegeven om toegezegde munitie aan Oekraine te verplaatsen naar Israel en wat er in Azie is gestationeerd gaat eveneens naar Israel. Niet ingeloste beloftes zetten kwaad bloed bij alle 'bondgenoten' van het wereldwijde Amerikaanse imperium en ze keren zich alsmaar meer af van Amerika. Kortom, Trump is een sloopkogel die niet alleen zijn eigen land en volk naait, maar Amerika als wereldmacht ook razendsnel ontmantelt. En nee, dit is geen '5D chess', maar gewoon incompetentie en arrogantie.

BAPCO is burning.Bahrain Petroleum Company refinery. The facility that processes virtually all of Bahrain’s domestic oil output — struck despite mystical claims of Bahraini air defenses pulling down 75 missiles and 123 drones in the same wave. Highest single-day intercept count for any Gulf state in this war (if you believe them). Six officially got through.
BAPCO sits on an island of 800 square kilometres. So does Naval Support Activity Bahrain. So does the Fifth Fleet — every US naval operation from the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean commanded from twelve kilometres away from what is now a burning refinery. If you wanted one target that says everything, to the energy markets, to every Gulf monarchy, to every admiral playing war games in Manama — you’d pick BAPCO.
Here’s what the Mockingbird MSM won’t explain. Iran doesn’t need to level the place. Doesn’t need to shut it down permanently. An oil refinery that has been hit once by Iranian missiles in an active shooting war is a refinery that no insurer, no shipping counterparty, no downstream buyer can price the same way again – ever. The fires Al Jazeera broadcast did more work in the derivatives market than in the actual refinery. The facility gets repaired. The actuarial fact of its vulnerability doesn’t.
Five days of this. An island with no strategic depth because it has no depth – 800 square kilometres, total. Air defenses that are more mythological than genuine world-class pulling down nearly 200 (if you believe Bahrain) incoming projectiles in a single day and even they admit six still found the refinery. The interceptors cost orders of magnitude more per round than the drones they’re killing. Iran can do this arithmetic. So can every energy trading desk that repriced Gulf risk in the thirty minutes after the first video posted.
Washington put the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain to project power at Iran. Iran just told Bahrain what that decision costs. The Al Khalifa family sold their population’s future for American protection. The protection didn’t protect the refinery. It made it a target.
Darwinian level arrogance. And now – Darwinian level invoice.
