We have heard all the lies about a ceasefire and apparently Israel does not want any progress on that front for they just keep attacking Lebanon trying to turn it in Gaza…..
Israel said Monday that Iran had launched missiles targeting it, hours after Israel launched airstrikes targeting central and western Iran in response to missile fire from Tehran. The exchange of strikes threatened to drag the wider Middle East back into a regional war, the AP reports. Sirens sounded in central Israel, and the government urged the public to seek shelter. Explosions could be heard in central Israel as Israeli air defenses sought to intercept the incoming Iranian fire. Iran did not immediately acknowledge the attack. Meanwhile, the White House did not respond to messages about Israel’s strikes and whether they were done in coordination with the US.
Iranian state television reported the sound of explosions being heard in Isfahan, Karaj, Tabriz, and Tehran, without immediately elaborating. A witness in Tehran described hearing at least one large blast somewhere to the west of the country’s capital city. Iran closed the airspace around Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport, the country’s main airfield, after the Israeli attack. Sirens sounded across Israel on Monday after its military said a missile launched from Yemen targeted the country, without elaborating. Israel’s rescue services said there were no reports of casualties or impacts from the launch from Yemen.
Israel is using Lebanon as an excuse for Iran and their unwarranted attacks….typical bullshit from these cowards.
Then in an interview on Sunday Donny made one of his BS pronouncements….’never promised no new wars’….
President Trump now says a central theme of his assurances to voters was never actually a promise. In a Meet the Press interview that aired Sunday, Trump rejected the idea that he ever pledged “no new wars,” telling NBC‘s Kristen Welker, “I didn’t promise anything.” He argued that his push to build what he called the “strongest military in the world” undercuts the notion that he guaranteed he’d avoid fighting. Trump insisted he dislikes “endless wars” but cast the current confrontation with Iran as short term, saying, “We’re there for a few months and the threat is largely over.”
Of course that interview did not go well for Donny had to slip back into his accusation mode….and walk out.
On a side note…..
It’s the strange world of international espionage: The US has long understood that Israel is going to do a little spying on America, and it’s acceptable as long as they don’t overdo it. Now, multiple reports suggest they’re overdoing it. The Pentagon has ramped up the counterintelligence threat posed by ally Israel to “critical,” the highest level, reports the New York Times and NBC News. A big factor is the Iran war: Intelligence assessments warn that Israeli agencies have significantly stepped up efforts to monitor top US negotiator Steve Witkoff, Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby, and other American authorities. One senior US official describes Israel’s aggressive moves as “unhinged,” per the Times.
Defense Intelligence Agency report cited by both outlets says Israel’s threat level was recently raised from “high” to the top tier, citing attempts to plant listening devices at DIA headquarters and in a Secret Service vehicle, and spyware found on US defense personnel phones in Israel. It wasn’t clear if a specific incident prompted the upgraded threat level, or if it was a culmination of all of the above. The warnings arrive with US-Israeli military cooperation at unprecedented levels, given the extensive intelligence-sharing and joint war planning against Iran. For the record, the Pentagon declined comment, a White House official called the account false, and Israel’s embassy denied spying on US officials.
It is not bad enough that Israel owns our election process now they are engaged in massive spying on their ‘ally’ (I use the word loosely for the US is a tool not an ally).
Things are pretty normal in the Middle East….normal for a Donny government that is…..
