This is John Bachelor, conversation with colleague Elizabeth Peek of the Hill and Fox News

about the potential targets for an Israeli counter-strike to the Iran provocation of several days past the ballistic missiles fired

against civilians in Tel Aviv. The speculation is everywhere. Nuclear

facilities, oil fields, or refineries.

The Bloomberg reporting is looking at the oil terminals being the most likely to be damaged

long term, and therefore causing a disruption worldwide price.

What part of the oil chain will be struck, if any?

Is the open question here. Liz speaks to that matter.

More of this deny.

Oh, I think they are watching it,

although I think most people imagine that any attack that comes on Iran's oil facilities might have a

short-lived reaction. I don't know. You know, are they going to really destroy the fields or just refineries? I don't know.

Obviously nobody knows but there is some anticipation that it could be a less provocative, shall we say, less dangerous route to take for Israel than

attacking nuclear facilities, which, by the way, they might not even be able to impact the capabilities of those

facilities.

So it seems to me the oil industry is a natural target, and it's a natural target because Iran, thanks to the Biden White House, not enforcing

sanctions on oil production out of Iran, has really rebuilt its bank account very

handily in the last three years

oil production when when Donald Trump was in office in Iran was next to or exports I should say or next to zero

and they just came right back because the Biden White House chose to

look the other way and try to appease Iran which has never worked for any

administration and isn't working now.
