The US is “dismayed” by Israel’s strikes on 30 Iranian oil depots on Saturday, sparking the first “significant disagreement” between the allies since the war began, per Axios.

Details include:

1. The strikes reportedly went “far beyond” what the US expected when Israel notified it in advance

2. “We don’t think it was a good idea,” a senior US official said

3. An Israeli official said the US message to Israel was “WTF”

4. “The president doesn’t like the attack. He wants to save the oil. He doesn’t want to burn it. And it reminds people of higher gas prices,” a Trump adviser said

US gas prices are now expected to surge well above $4/gallon this month.

“I don’t think you understand how catastrophic the oil refinery bombing in Tehran is.”

Burning petroleum releases sulfur and nitrogen oxides that mix with rain to form sulfuric and nitric acid, essentially turning rainfall toxic.

When Saddam burned Kuwaiti oil wells in 1991, the fallout contributed to what became known as Gulf War Syndrome, with veterans developing chronic illness and cancer decades later.

The difference now: this isn’t a desert battlefield, it’s a city of 10 million people, most of which women and children.
