The current media doesn't understand that exaggerating headlines for clout purposes affects the world. I hope that the 'mainheads' comprehend that lives are being destroyed by their false narrative.

Bring it on with the culprits, Israel.

Israel seems to be becoming the terrorist. They seem to have firgotten hitler and started taking pages out his play book over the last few decades. Genocides murders bombs assasination but we aren't supposed to talk about their actions Isreal is always right huh?😳

I suggest they stop planning to genocide Israel with nuclear weapons

bidens response will be,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,pay them what they want. Americas decline identified,,,,,,,,,,idiots.

Iran has vowed violence and revenge. As opposed to what? Mailing out Whitman's Samplers to their fellow nations as they normally do?

I don't subscribe so I can't read it but that headlines sounds absolutely ridiculous. It's akin to calling Sulemani 'a scholar' - - both instances are PATHETIC

Great experiment in allowing the general international community to vote in their future decision making with set outcomes like a real life choose your own adventure game. netflix HBO

Didn't read the article but who's providing the 'pressure'? Sounds ominous. Is this not a good thing that happened? It shouldn't even be debatable...

That's meddlin' I don't mind!

Hey China. Take your best shot at us in Australia. We can handle it. We aren't like Trump. We deal in truth and objective science. Mates give and take a few little shoves. Chill out.

NOT OUR PROBLEM

“Even as it waits for Biden to take office...” ...and resume kowtowing to its terrorist Islamist leaders and sending them more pallets of cash. We all know how much of a disaster Obama’s ME policy was. Second verse, same as the first.

Why is there no coverage on this?

'As Iran waits for Biden to take office' Please have Donald Trump arrested. It is this bad to have a Terrorist as an American President.
