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 programme 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.

Why haven’t they done so in all the years before? The world is awoke to false flags USSLiberty GulfofTonkin

FU Israel!

All Iran has to do is tell Hezbollah to fire a few missiles off at Israel if it really wants to do that.

Iran who has vowed for total destruction of Israel and death to Jews? Iran that declares 'Israel must be wiped off the map? That is funding and manning a proxy war in Syria on the Israeli border? Now they are threatening war as if it's now in response to the US action?

Israeli fear mongering at it's finest. I am happy that Iran is there. At least they have the ability to keep Israel in check. FreeGaza

Reuters is in on the war propaganda....

Good, even a credible threat means we can intervene to force regime change in Iran. Much needed.

BS Israel wants an excuse to attack Iran - or anybody for that matter.

statistically and historically it could easily be the other way round

Bla bla🤮🤮🤮

Israel will whoop that ass if they do.

Don't trust anything Israel says about Iran. It is possible they are bribing Donald Trump. SethAbramson STWuk

That is such a lie! Israel has been trying to get America to attack Iran for years. Obama wouldn’t do their dirty work, but Trump will. Why should our soldiers die in another political war that is totally unnecessary. Let Israel fight their own battles.

Time the US kept out of Middle Eastern affairs!

And that'll be the last mistake they'll make. The shock and awe will be on their foreheads.

Since Russia is allied with Iran, this could blow up into a much larger problem.

The other way around, will make the 🐖 very happy.

Doubtful

So Israel can't fight their fights? Nothing new.

Too Much Drama... Israel will not stop till kicking the whole Palestinians out of their homes

Iran's to chickenshit to attack anyone directly. They rattle their sabers to loudly to do anything else. Only feel safe in the shadows.

I believe that if the US starts bombing Iran, Iran will immediately strike at Israel, - a terrible, tremendous blow - which will escalate what the US does.... And so on and so on. I can't believe that Israel wants this...

Has any of the Israeli airstrikes diminish Iran's capacity to EXPORT Wars? It seems that Iran is FREE to ROAM Syria & Iraq despite Netanyahu's threats. Israel has in a way helped Iran GROW INSTABILITIES (helped by Qatar & Brotherhood), & PERMITTED a Syrian Holocaust by Assad.

Only people praying for presumptive strikes against Iran insist the country intends attacking Israel. Irrational as many in the West believe the Iranians are, Persians know implicitly there's nothing for them to gain and everything to lose by it.

Paranoia

ELINTNews Si el.tio sham no sabia como deshacerse de este niño problema , bueno esta seria la perfecta forma, solo ver y cruzar de brazos. Asi cortaria el derrame de dinero que le cuesta.

Rubbish!

Iran talk repetedly to erase Israel , lets see who disapear first ! But like 1948 and 1967 Israel going to prevail !

... Israel will attack Iran if Trump orders it to do so, you mean...

Or they could all just stand up en mass and March into the sea. Which makes just as much sense.

ELINTNews So many Russian troll bots on this thread it's insane.

Let them try, they'll get a kinetic spanking of biblical proportions for their efforts.

BULLSHIT

Israel attacked us on 911, killed jfk, and lied to get us to attack Iraq. Now they lie to get us to attack Iran. It’s time the word address the JQ.

Careful what u wish for lran

Israel is looking for any pretense for attacking Iran, the US is providing that excuse with their continued deliberate escalation of the situation

Wag the Dog.....

it could be worse if Obama still US pres. 😌

如果100000枚火箭弹、导弹同时出现在以色列上空,以色列拦得住吗?人口至少会死一半吧?剩下的一般是缺胳膊断腿的残废。周围的阿拉伯国家再趁机围攻,以色列基本上就亡国了。 当然,以色列在亡国之前,也会把核武器发射向伊朗。 这样,以色列和伊朗就都焦土、亡国了! 这会是美国希望看到的场景吗?

All pressures & terror in the region & world is for the sake of the zionist Israel, it is time to uproot this cancer so that the whole world will rest & survive No wonder why Europeans kicked them out. They are Criminals,terrorist & thugs tٌhey are relaxing while we are suffering

How are your unregulated nukes doing? All well?

Day will come, America will attack Israel

Looks like Trump is trying to provoke an 'incident' as an excuse for a limited strike to divert attention from his troubles at home

Right wing extremist Zionists are aligned with DTs extreme and stupid views. Both are racist and multi tiered bigots

A few weeks later we will be talking about the power vacuum in Iran.

Setting it up huh guys?

I hope so. It's time for the demise of Iran!

Why give voice to the warmongers? Hawks are doing the same lying as in the run to the Irak war. Will media commit the same mistakes?

That is 100% confirmed and this time Israel will be wiped out from the face of the world .They are killing Innocent Palestinian daily and the world is sleeping .

No chance.

Speak with money

The end would then be near for Iran.

We can pull out and let Israel fight alone Would that be better? I don’t think so...

US........not this time 🤔😑

Mr Mustache is so close to his war mongering wet dream.

MashaAllah
