As per the world of media double speak. this strike is been blamed on an Israel strike inside Syria the other day which killed 2 Iranian Revolutionary Guards, yet I'll put money on the table this was more to do with a call from Moscow in which to divert some attention away from the Ukraine which Russia invaded last month, make the price of crude rise again after it fell the other day when the UAE opened up the taps which in turns targets up the economic front Moscow has opened up in which to target Europe which is backing the Ukraine with the threat of closing downing the straits of Hormuz if the US should dare retaliate.
