Fears over war rise in the Middle East as U.S., Iran trade barbs.

Iran's foreign minister has restated his country's resolve to withstand pressure from Washington to negotiate a peaceful settlement to the latest round of tension that has brought the two nations closer to the brink of war than they have ever been before.

During an interview with Japanese television network NHK, Zarif said he does not know where the U.S. president"got that certainty, but he is certainly wrong." Zarif blamed much of the recent friction on hardliners in leadership positions in Washington, as well as hardliners within other nations allied to the United States. They are"dragging, or at least trying to drag the United States into a war," Zarif said.

U.S. warships and bombers have been dispatched to the Middle East region during a week that has seen suspected sabotage attacks targeting oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, plus a drone attack on a Saudi oil pipeline that was claimed by Yemen's Iranian-allied Houthi rebels. The main question is, would a direct, premeditated attack on U.S. troops by Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria draw the United States into a major conflict against Iran?

Iran has warned that it could resume higher uranium enrichment -- beyond levels permitted by the current deal – by early July if a fresh nuclear agreement is not in place by then.

The first thing the Iranians will do is to hit Tel Aviv, and claim a holy war,, US is making its biggest mistake ever🤥

IF YOU ARE A PATRIOT, KNOW THAT ABC AND ALL MSM ARE PROPAGANDA PUSHERS... FALSE-FLAGGERS IN THE BACKGROUND ARE PUSHING FOR CONFRONTATION BUT POTUS IS AHEAD OF THEIR DARK SCHEMES...

If we had a real President in the WH this shit wouldn't be happening. Instead we have a racist anti-everyone who isn't white and rich. The world is either laughing at him or pissed off at him. Worst wanna be occupant in the WH in history.

Show times. I bet US just need 10 min to shut down Iran.

Just to make sure that nothing will settle down peacefully, Israel seemingly attacks Iranian targets in Syria.

Time too set the record straight inn the strait, Now.

So it’s true. Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.

POLITICO Playbook PM: Trump says he’d ‘absolutely’ send troops to the Middle EastTrump called the trade war with China 'a little squabble' and rejected the characterization that talks have broken down. More on the ongoing trade negotiations in Playbook PM: Narrator: Talks have broken down. The press helped give us trump in ’16, and they still refuse to admit it. The woman in the NY Times article below “has heard everything, and taken good notes,” trump said, yet no reporter saw fit to even LAY EYES on her. Instead it was ‘her emails’ 24/7. So yes, they've broken down. Trump doesn't have a way forward except by lying about the trade war that he's losing - and costing American consumers and businesses dearly. We're paying for Trump's tariffs, not China.
