🇮🇷⚡️🇮🇱🇺🇸 Ali Larijani: Trump sacrificed America’s interests for Israel

Israel, through cunning and conspiracy, seeks to create conflict between Iran and regional countries, including Azerbaijan.

Trump has fallen into a trap caused by being deceived by Israel; instead of the slogan “America First,” he sacrificed his country’s interests for Israel and now, with undiplomatic behavior, only damages his own credibility.

The recent US attacks on empty governmental, educational, and medical centers are signs of desperation and “hysterical behavior” resulting from failure in separatist and overthrow projects.

This could mean Iran can reciprocate.https://t.co/XSEem0i0d0

Israel typically relies on three main sea terminals (Haifa, Eshkelon and Eilat) for its oil and fuel imports, though their operational status fluctuates. Eilat is practically closed due to Houthi in Red Sea.

Israel is geographically isolated and lacks direct pipeline connections to Arab neighbours for fuel imports. Israel remains entirely reliant on marine imports, mostly sourced from Azerbaijan (via Turkey) and Kazakhstan (via Russia).

With the Eilat terminal offline, all imports must now enter through the Mediterranean, making the ports of Haifa and Ashdod critical and highly vulnerable targets for current missile waves. The Haifa refinery was reportedly damaged in early March 2026, while the Ashdod refinery has faced separate maintenance-related shutdowns, forcing Israel to rely more heavily on expensive refined fuel imports.

If you look at the hard math instead of the optimistic military briefings, Israel is essentially a high-tech engine running on a very small, very vulnerable fuel tank. Officially, Israel maintains a Strategic Fuel Reserve designed to last roughly three months. However, that estimate is for “normal” times.

In active combat, the IDF’s fuel consumption triples. Tanks, fighter jets (F-35s), and armoured bulldozers are “fuel hogs,” the effective military reserve is closer to 30–45 days if all imports are cut, which is just an optimistic feeling. Even if they have fuel in the tanks, the NIS 9.5 billion per week cost of the war is unsustainable.

No tanker captain wants to sail into a port being hit by cluster munitions. If insurance companies stop covering ships heading to Israel, the deliveries stop even without a physical blockade. Once the civilian pumps go dry or prices hit 10+ NIS/litre, the internal pressure on Netanyahu will be greater than the external pressure from Iran. Most military experts believe Israel can maintain “high-intensity” operations for about 4 to 6 weeks without a guaranteed, steady flow of new tankers.

The businessman Trump knows that if Israel runs out of fuel, the war is over in a week. To prevent this, the U.S. is currently the only guarantor. The U.S. Navy is forced to provide armed escorts for tankers traveling from the Mediterranean. This is an incredibly expensive and risky “Berlin Airlift” style operation. The U.S. is reportedly diverted fuel from its own Strategic Petroleum Reserve to supply the IDF, which is a major point of contention for American voters facing $85/barrel prices at home.

Hmmm…

Thanks for that Mr.P
