🚨 BREAKING: IRAQ STRIKES IRANIAN OIL TERMINAL

Iraqi aircraft have reportedly bombed Iran’s floating oil terminal near Sirri Island.

This comes in direct retaliation for an earlier Iranian missile strike on a refinery in Baghdad.

What we know so far:

Significant damage reported to the offshore terminal

Thick smoke seen billowing from the site

2–3 oil tankers reportedly hit

Marks a dangerous escalation between Iraq and Iran

Iran continues to push confrontation across the region, striking and provoking neighboring states — and now the response is coming back hard. They are complete idiots.
