🇮🇷⚔️🇶🇦 Qatar state-owned LNG giant QatarEnergy has published a statement detailing the overnight damage, providing more granularity (particularly around the damage of the GTL plant).

The ExxonMobil gas facility at the Ras Laffan LNG plant has been severely damage and it will take 5 years to restore to pre-war capacity.

Iran promised to destroy American economic interests and facilities in the region.

🇺🇸 Reminder that post-1965 immigrant integration is a myth.

In 2013 roughly 23% of Hispanics identified as American.

In 2020 this had fallen to 14%.

It has fallen among 2nd and 3rd gen migrants as well.

The immigrant descended populations have become too large to integration.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 More B-52 bombers armed with AGM-158 JASSM cruise missiles which can be fired from an F-15E or F-16 or F/A-18 Hornet, were spotted yesterday flying over England headed for Iran.

The USAF would rather waste money on increasingly expensive jet fuel to move bombers from England to Iran and back to pretend that it has air supremacy over Iran only to fire standoff munitions which can be launched by ordinary fighter jets from bases much closer to Iran itself.

📝 Will Schryver: The Big Attrition continues unabated.

Based on the number of B-1B and B-52 sorties to-date (~75), they have already expended AT LEAST one-third, and possibly one-half of the total inventory of JASSM cruise missiles (1000-1500 out of ~3000).
