The White House claims that it is holding “conversations” to resolve hostilities with Iran. Iran, however, says that no such talks are happening.
An Iranian politician said this: “No negotiations have been held with the US, and fakenews is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped.”
Quagmire is the right word.
The President may want out but Israel doesn’t and as long as Israel is our “model ally,” the U.S. is in it. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel will “continue to strike both in Iran and in Lebanon,” no matter what the U.S. does.
While the world watches the U.S. flounder over Iran, Israel has free rein to terrorize Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank.
In Gaza, local media reports that the IDF tortured an 18-month old boy to terrorize his father, who remains in custody with about 14,000 others. They also set fire to a fishing boat and killed at least nine people over the Eid holiday.
In the West Bank, Israeli settlers (read: terrorists) are conducting a raid of arson attacks on homes and cars.
In Lebanon the IDF has ordered the destruction of every bridge across the Litani River, presumably to prevent the hundreds of thousands of people who were evacuated from every returning.
This is what a “model ally” looks like?
