‘Israel can’t completely violate the will of the US’​


Israeli affairs analyst Dan Perry says US involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict has been “incredible” throughout – from its historic direct attack on Iran to US President Donald Trump’s ceasefire declaration “on behalf of the parties” and the pressure on Israel to comply.
“Trump is trying to lay down the law and present himself as the sheriff of the region,” Perry told Al Jazeera. “It might be performative”.
Asked whether Israel would respect Trump’s plan, Perry said he doesn’t think Israel “really has as much latitude as I sometimes hear from various commentators”.
“Israel can’t completely violate the will of the US. It can’t continue such a massively impactful operation without US acquiescence,” he said.

I actually respect this. If you have a willing goyim brute ready to do your dirty work, use him.

I respect his honesty.

He propagandizes Americans on the Coli to support America doing Israel’s dirty work, even if it erodes American power and weakens its finances

:mjgrin:

It’s like Eritrea using Ethiopia to destroy Tigray

Iran president ‘expresses regret’ to Qatar’s leader after missile strike​


Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has called Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani a day after the attack on the US military base by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Sheikh Tamim “reiterated the State of Qatar’s strong condemnation of the attack, considering it a flagrant violation of its sovereignty and airspace, as well as of international law and the United Nations Charter”, a government media release said.

“Qatar has always been an advocate of dialogue with Iran and has exerted tireless diplomatic efforts in this regard,” it added.

Sheikh Tamim urged Iran to “return to the negotiating table … in an effort to overcome this crisis and preserve the security of the region and the safety of its people”.

Iran’s president “expressed his regret”, noting Qatar and its people were not the target of the attack.

US senators are expected to receive a classified briefing this afternoon on the Israel-Iran conflict.

“President (Donald) Trump owes the facts to the American people, and so far, we’ve received no real information in the Congress,” Connecticut Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal told CNN.

Blumenthal said Trump deserves credit “if, in fact, Iran’s nuclear capability has been destroyed,” adding that the Israeli forces and US military also played a significant role.

Illinois Democratic Sen. dikk Durbin told CNN: “It’s a lot easier to get in a war than it is to get out of a war,” adding that “we’re a far cry from being able to assess the impact of this overall decision.”

On the House side, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries argued that Trump has “botched” his promises to bring peace to the region.

“He has botched his promises on the economy, and he’s botched his promises on creating peace in the Middle East. The real question that people are asking here in America is what the F is Donald Trump doing,” Jeffries told reporters this morning, referring to Trump’s comments earlier that Israel and Iran “don’t know what the fukk they’re doing.”

Speaker Mike Johnson told members at a House Republican conference meeting that he spoke with Trump earlier in the morning, and the president told him he urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iran, according to a person in room. Punchbowl News first reported on Johnson’s comment to members.

Republican Rep. Buddy Carter, who is running for US Senate in Georgia, announced that he has nominated President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for his handling of the Iran-Israel conflict.

“There’s no one else who deserves it more than this president deserves it,” he said.

Trump is currently on his way to the NATO summit in the Netherlands.
