Iran’s Actions Raise Oil Prices in Thailand, Says Israeli Ambassador

Israeli Ambassador to Thailand, Dr. Alona Fisher-Kamm, stated on Tuesday that Iranians are responsible for destabilizing the oil market, impacting countries like Thailand. She made these remarks during a Q&A session in response to a question about rising oil prices, emphasizing that Iran's unprovoked attack on a Saudi oil field is a significant factor. Fisher-Kamm further noted the influence on economic infrastructures, including oil transport through the Strait of Hormuz.

This comes amidst ongoing tensions involving Iran, with Fisher-Kamm explaining that the conflict aims to address perceived threats from Iran, such as nuclear capabilities and proxy forces like Hamas and Hezbollah. She suggested that the ultimate goal is regime change, although it is primarily up to the Iranian populace. She pointed out that recent developments, including the selection of a new Supreme Leader in Iran, indicate a continuation of current policies by the Iranian government.

Addressing the question of peace, Fisher-Kamm expressed hope that the conflict would become a "gateway to peace" rather than a prolonged war. She stressed that Israel's issues lie with the Iranian regime and not its people, highlighting that there were no conflicts before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The Ambassador also criticized the Iranian regime for alleged internal and external illegitimacy, citing civilian killings.

Looking ahead, Fisher-Kamm suggested a narrow window exists for addressing the Iranian threat. She clarified that any military action is not targeting civilians, as was the case with a recent school attack in Minab that is still under investigation. The Ambassador believes the Iranian people have opportunities to facilitate change if they desire.

She also discussed the presence of around 50,000 Thai workers in Israel, emphasizing their confidence in Israel's security measures. In terms of Israeli tourism, Fisher-Kamm highlighted that in 2025, approximately 425,000 Israeli citizens visited Thailand, reflecting their feelings of safety and welcome in the country, reported Khaosod.

You are upset over Gaza. Fine. Why are you not upset over the estimated 30-80,000 dead by the regime in Iran over the past 3 months?

Iran refuses to stop funding terrorism. It has been implicated in multiple terror plots all over the world, Australia, Canada UK, USA etc. It tried to assassinate the US President 2X, and the Canadian Minister of Justice and it harasses, assaults and kills dissidents in other countries. It was repeatedly asked to stop and it refused. It has refused to stop enriching uranium towards military grade levels. The maximum enrichment use level for non military use is 20%, with typical commercial use at less than 5% uranium enrichment. The country already has ballistic missiles. It has been negotiating in bad faith for years, delaying and delaying to give its nuclear program time to enrich more uranium.

Where have you been for the past decade?

Iran was the reason the Assad regime of Syria stayed in power. It propped it up for 10+ years. In so doing it enabled a civil war creating 14 million refugees. 750,000+ dead. Most of the refugees went to the west. Hezbollah was its proxy army in Syria. Iranian military was fighting on behalf of Assad in Syria.

In Yemen, Syria installed the Houthis. The result is 2 million+ refugees, food crisis, 750,000+ dead and an ongoing threat to shipping.

Lebanon: Hezbollah is the Iranian proxy army. It started sending missiles and rockets into Israel. What did you think Israel was going to do? Say thank you, please send more?

A real Israel and US lover... Only the propaganda these countries spread. Since Israel got in Palestine they have been in war.. and what happened in Gaza is tolerated in the world because of the WOII... Palestine was as the name said it already of the Palestines.. but the Jews renamed it Israel and are just as thousands years ago chasing everybody away and take more and more land.. Now they have started with Lebanon... and nobody can stop them.. even the Jordan Banks they claimed with illegal buildings... and then the Jews are surprised that people defend their territory... The Jews shoudl be happy to have a piece of land instead of making war since they got it with the fake reason of terrorism.. That are they themselves.

I don't think I could add anymore to this perfectly stated post on the Iran menace from the last 47 years.

The only propaganda is yours. How about you address what I wrote instead of going off on a tangent. The subject is Iran. it has been locked in battle withe the Arab nations for longer than it has been with Israel. Iran is Shiite. Most Arab nations are Sunni. Iran is Farsi, and the Arabs, are Arabic.

It is wonderful that you are concerned with Lebanon. Why so quiet with the illegal occupation of Lebanon by Hezbollah, the proxy arm of Iran? Why do you ignore the Lebanese demand that Hezbollah cease and desist in its hostilities? There would be no crisis in lebanon today if Hezbollah had not attacked Israel. The Lebanese want Hezbollah gone from the country. Do you not agree that Lebanon should be allowed to govern without the Iranian and Hezbollah involvement?

Now what in the world did the israeli Mossad have against Trump, that made the Donald push America into this disastrous war? Wonder if after all it was true the fact that Epstein had ties with Israeli Mossad ?

Ahh yes, the promotion of unsubstantiated claims of a Mossad plot.

Is this the best that you can do? Is it because the evidence against iran is overwhelming? The Gulf Arabs are now tacitly supporting Israel and the USA. It must upset you.

I think my dear fellow that the soaring oil prices are upsetting the entire world and the dogma of support is shifting.

I think this would be a good time for Thailand to revoke every visas of every single American living in here. Those complaining about Russians not being in front lines should volunteer to fight first.
