Israeli foreign minister heaps praise on Trump, Netanyahu​


Gideon Saar says the US president “wrote his name in letters of gold in the history books” after his attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Saar also credited Netanyahu for initiating the assault against Iran, lauding what he called the prime minister’s “extraordinary leadership”.
The comments from the US and Israel suggest that both governments have been in lockstep in their attacks on Iran, which critics say have been unprovoked.

Reminder to some folks.


“We all know the dangers of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon,” wrote Obama, who spent 18 months negotiating the agreement in 2014 and 2015 . “If the constraints on Iran’s nuclear program under the JCPOA are lost, we could be hastening the day when we are faced with the choice between living with that threat, or going to war to prevent it.”

Trump has long been outspoken in his criticism of Obama and the deal,which he blasted as “decaying” in his announcement on Tuesday. The U.S. is planning to reimpose a set of sanctions within months, though Iran said it would seek to preserve the deal during a limited period of talks with its other signatories, China, France, Russia, Germany, Britain and the European Union.

But Obama emphasized that the deal “was never intended to solve all of our problems with Iran,” and he warned that undermining it despite no clear evidence of Iranian violations could hasten an arms race or outright regional conflict.

“The reality is clear,” he wrote. “The JCPOA is working — that is a view shared by our European allies, independent experts, and the current U.S. Secretary of Defense.”

Obama also said violating the deal could undermine the United States’ credibility on the international stage. He said the JCPOA had worked to halt Iran’s progress toward a nuclear weapon, highlighting its international inspections and noting that some of its provisions were permanent.



He added that withdrawal could backfire by rallying other countries to Iran’s side. “It will allow Iran to garner international sympathy while doing nothing to reduce its harmful activities across the Middle East,” he said.

U.S. allies and adversaries that were party to the agreement had urged the Trump administration not to tear it up. But Trump deemed the JCPOA a bad deal that failed to make the U.S. safer, and said he was following through on his promises.

I’m just confused.

You know if they actually struck and destroyed the plant directly that’ve have been one thing.

The fact we didn’t even do that but have entered some expensive long term war is so fukking pointless. Like this has to be a set up for Republicans to stay in power somewhere by making us spend less on goods things.

I’m honestly sad at how much money and resources we’re going to spend and will cost us, I’m not even kidding.

We are going to fall behind in a bad way all for another country’s conflict.
