UAE Secretly Strikes Iran — Lavan Island Refinery Attacked
@EnergyPeddler quotes The Hormuz Letter (@HormuzLetter) reporting breaking news from WSJ:
- The UAE has secretly carried out military strikes inside Iran
- An attack on Iran's Lavan Island refinery set off a massive fire
- EnergyPeddler adds a Churchill quote: "Nations that went down fighting rose again, but those who surrendered tamely were finished."
Context: This is geopolitically significant — Lavan Island is a key Iranian oil infrastructure hub. A covert UAE strike on Iranian energy infrastructure signals escalating tensions in the Middle East that could impact oil prices, energy markets, and regional stability. The Hormuz Letter focuses on Middle East oil/markets/money analysis.
