The United States has increased economic and military pressure on Iran, with President Donald Trump on Thursday urging its leaders to talk to him about giving up their nuclear program and saying he could not rule out an armed confrontation. Parting with the silence, Israeli Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said that, in the Gulf, “things are heating up”.

Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad are Iranian-sponsored guerrilla groups on Israel’s borders, the former active in Syria as well as Lebanon and the latter in the Palestinian territories.

Good, then we can destroy Iran and get it done

WMD story seems to work better to get into a good illegal war.

This is John Bolton's reaction.

Who’s the culprit here, a country who did not attack anyone in last 20-30 years ? A country who did attacked so many countries all over the globe and still not stopping ? Or a country who incite another countries for the aggression You decide

Huh?

Quit warmongering,

Now take your turn, Iran! I think North Korea was ahead of you!

Israeli propaganda repeated by Reuters.

israel have been trying to create a image for years is that iran may attack to israel. in truth will never happened. Such doing this by israel take iran under pressure being made by west countries

Would Iran be so foolish? Israel is much stronger militarily especially w/US backing

No they won’t cause that would be suicidal and nobody wants to commit suicide. Usual BS to keep pressure and control. Nobody has more nukes than isreal.

No it wouldn't. Israel is looking for an excuse to attack Iran and obviously give Trump an excuse for a war that would help his reelection hopes! The world should make sure Netanyahu do not manufacture war with Iran for Trump!!!

Don't let your nuts lock up ahkmed...pull that pisol and get to work...bet you dont

Maybe or Israel will attack Iran and hope the USA can hold off reprisals.

No war at the Horizon ! Warmongers ; find a wall to hit your head, or go directly to bed..

That wouldn’t advantage Iran at all. Sounds like propaganda to try to start a war like the Assad’s gas attacks or Iraq’s WMDs.

Israel know how to deal with aggression.

sure........ maybe you should tell your buddy Trump to not sail war ships near Iran

This is not done Iran. While Israel is fighting for their constitutional democracy and internal sovereignty with the help of US, in this juncture Iran's decision to attack Israel will be highly condemned and a breach of humanitarian aspects.

This is real idiotic thought, once expressed by Saddam.

Then Iran should renounce Jihad and stop funding proxies!

At least then the Israelis can fight their own battles

Well, of course, they may attack Israel...they have done so before and America has stood with Israel to the tune of $112B. Respectfully, sir, you need to reassess your public statements and remember, 'you don't bite the hand which feeds you!'

Who does he speak for..Iran or Israel..? unless he's talking about a black flag operation to make it look that way..wtf would he know about top secret conversations in the highest levels of Iran's regime..? Yeah..nothing. Go back to murdering children protesting your genocide..

Why would they? Why paint them as aggressors?

If Israel doesn't want to be attacked by Iran they should stop breaking international laws and stop doing crimes against humanity.. They are literally the most dangerous country in the region if not the world

This is precisely what Netanyahu and Trump want us to believe. Don’t.

Question who will be next identity to use NUKES terrorist or israel

So you beat up the little guy eh?

No, they won't. Stop fabricating excuses to start a war
