Iran just hit 9 countries in a single night, including 7 of the wealthiest nations on earth

This was Tehran’s answer to Israel striking the South Pars gas field, the world’s largest, earlier today.

The most intense retaliatory barrage of the entire war, and Iran is now the only country on the planet simultaneously attacking seven of the richest nations by GDP per capita:

🇮🇱 Israel: Ballistic missiles and cluster munitions over central Israel. Two killed in Ramat Gan. Four Palestinian women killed in the West Bank by an Iranian missile.

🇶🇦 Qatar ($110K GDP per capita): 14 ballistic missiles fired. Ras Laffan LNG hub suffered “extensive damage” confirmed by QatarEnergy.

🇦🇪 UAE ($100K): 13 ballistic missiles and 27 attack drones intercepted. Iran threatening imminent strikes on energy facilities.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia ($35K): Evacuation orders issued for Samref Refinery and Jubail Petrochemical Complex. Waves of missiles intercepted over Riyadh.

🇰🇼 Kuwait ($75K): Ballistic missiles intercepted. U.S. facilities targeted again.

🇧🇭 Bahrain ($65K): U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters under continued assault throughout the war.

🇴🇲 Oman ($32K): Drone strikes on industrial zones. Workers killed. The last neutral Gulf state is now taking fire.

🇯🇴 Jordan: U.S. bases struck as part of the widening multi-front campaign.

🇮🇶 Iraq: U.S. Embassy in Baghdad under nightly drone siege.

Combined GDP per capita of the Gulf states under attack: over $417,000.

These are some of the most prosperous, developed nations on earth, and Iran is hitting all of them simultaneously while its own economy collapses.

This is Operation Madman at full throttle: torch the region’s wealth until the world demands the war stops.

Oil jumps 4% as Iranian retaliatory strikes on Qatar’s key energy facility stoke supply worries

Iran struck a military base housing British, US and Australian troops in the United Arab Emirates during overnight strikes across the Gulf.

A missile hit the Al Minhad Air Base where the UK maintains a permanent military facility, late on Tuesday.

Anthony Albanese, the Australian prime minister, said the projectile caused ‘minor damage’ to an accommodation block and a medical facility due to a small blaze that was created as a result of the missile hitting on a road leading up to the base.
