Loading ...IRAN UPDATE – 04/30/26 – Oil Spikes As Israeli Defense Chief Says ‘Required To Act Again’ In Striking Iran, Achieving Objectives
Summary
- Israeli Defense Minister Katz: “soon we will need to act again in Iran to ensure that the regime cannot threaten Israel for years to come.” Oil spikes on this and new reports of Israeli defense build-up at ports, air hubs.
- Not giving up nuclear program: Iran will “guard” its “advanced technologies” like it does its own borders, Mojtaba Khamenei said in a written speech read aloud by state TV. It will “secure the Persian Gulf region and dismantle the hostile enemy’s exploitation of this waterway.”
- US military teases cutting-edge, not yet tested in battle, hypersonic missiles for Mideast region as CENTCOM head set to brief Trump on further military options at White House.
- Brent crude for June delivery reached as much as $126 a barrel in trading on Thursday, before easing to $114 – as oil prices have surge to their highest levels since 2022 as Trump mulls a military-enforced Iran blockade extension.
Imo — it is NOT in Israels interests to support ANY peace plan until IRAN has been GAZAified……….
Hi, since the 1970s, my view, after 5 million people from Europe occupied the area, and shoved a square peg into a round hole, the 500 million natives did not want them there, like the USA doesn’t like squatters from the southern border. I can guarantee there will never ever be peace there.
