Iran is now calling the shots, thanks to a weak Biden administration, which has enabled it. Not only is Iran threatening a harsh retaliation against Israel if Israel attacks in response to the hundreds of drones and missiles that were launched against it on Saturday; Iran is also threatening to strike US bases in the region if America supports an Israeli counterstrike. Iran is witnessing the Biden administration cower and do its bidding by pressuring Israel also to appease the Islamic regime.
Hamas, meanwhile, supported Iran’s attack on Israel as “a natural right and a deserved response.”
Iran and Hamas aim to obliterate Israel and ultimately to establish a global Islamic caliphate, and there are no limits to the violence they will employ to achieve this goal. Appeasing them encourages and enables them, as it does other jihadist groups.
“Iran threatens to hit US bases if Washington backs Israeli counterattack,” Times of Israel, April 14, 2024:
Top Iranian commanders warned Israel on Sunday that the country would face a bigger attack if it retaliates against overnight drone and missile strikes, adding that Washington has been told not to back any military action from its ally.
“Our response will be much larger than tonight’s military action if Israel retaliates against Iran,” Iran’s armed forces chief of staff Major General Mohammad Bagheri told state TV, adding that Tehran warned Washington that any backing of Israeli retaliation would result in US bases being targeted.
“If the Zionist regime (Israel) or its supporters demonstrate reckless behavior, they will receive a decisive and much stronger response,” Iran’s president Ebrahim Raisi said in a statement.….
…. “We in Hamas regard the military operation conducted by the Islamic Republic of Iran a natural right and a deserved response on the crime of targeting the Iranian consulate in Damascus and the assassination of several leaders of the Revolutionary Guards,” the Palestinian group said in a statement. Israel is engaged in a war, now in its seventh month, with Hamas after the Gazan terror group killed nearly 1,200 people and abducted 253 in a shock onslaught on October 7….

That’s the muslime philosophy of being superior to anyone else. They are forcing us non-muslims, to lay face down on the ground and let them violate our asses. But since what all the ‘slimes are educated in is killing non-muslims they aren’t too bright. They forget that there are 60 billion non-muslims in the world and only 20 billion ‘slimes. Do you like those odds ?

According to the ‘slimes,they are allowed to attack,but the victims should just take it and never defend themselves. What a gall. They think they are allah’s gift to mankind, but they are just satan’s minions who will someday be judged by the real God.

Never has Israel had the right to self defense. They are deemed illegitimate, just as the Jews have been throughout history. They must feed and arm their enemies and never win. The world wants them to commit suicide, but I stand with Never Again.
We are being played by Iran and all of Islam in the west. How is it going Europe replacing peaceful Jews with feral Muslims? It will be too late by the time the powers that be wake up!

Ok Iran just threatened the U.S. if it backs its ally Israel. How about America threatening Iran with total destruction if they attack anyone period. It’. s getting to be the time to kick the bullies where it hurts, if you attack another country the whole world should come down on you.
Sorry to say but DIPLOMACY doesn’t seem to work accept for the high paid diplomats who travel around the world in luxury accomplishing nothing but costing the American tax payer billions of dollars.
We could use another General, George Patton or Ike.

That’s right. What happened to such kind of men ? They disappeared it seems.

Theose iranian mullahs are so old that they are like Biden. Don’t they realize that the United States could destroy iran with little effort. Send the mafia in to eliminate the mullahs. Last night in the news iranians are starting to protest against the mullahs. How would any of us men like to be called mullahs.

OLD GUY,
Tragically, Gen. George Patton would not “cut it” in today’s woke military.
Neither would other greats, such as General Chuck Yeager.
