Joe Biden Visits Israel, but Continues to Remain Silent on the Iran Threat

/0 Comments/in , /by

Given the latest war developments, a hot question in Washington is whether President Biden should stick to his plan to visit Israel immediately.

Here’s a bigger, better question: What’s Biden’s plan for Iran?

. . .

All of which leads to a growing suspicion the president’s decision to travel halfway around the world has an ulterior motive.

The timing suggests it is designed primarily to stall and perhaps prevent Israel from launching its expected ground assault into Gaza.

The assumption is that Biden has failed to get Netanyahu’s agreement to hold off, and so is forcing the issue by showing up on the prime minister’s doorstep. (Read more from “Joe Biden Visits Israel, but Continues to Remain Silent on the Iran Threat” HERE)

Hezbollah Calls for ‘Day of Unprecedented Anger’ at Israel, U.S.; U.S. Issues Lebanon Travel Advisory

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group that is based in Lebanon, called for a day of “unprecedented anger” directed at Israel after there was an explosion at a hospital in Gaza that killed hundreds of people.

Mainstream news organizations, left-wing politicians, and anti-Semites immediately latched onto and parroted claims by Palestinian officials claiming that Israel bombed the hospital, which resulted in the deaths of more than 500 people. However, Israel later confirmed that the explosion at the hospital was caused by a rocket that terrorists launched from inside Gaza that malfunctioned and hit the hospital.

Hezbollah joined the rest of the Islamic world in instantly blaming Israel for the attacks.

“Let tomorrow, Wednesday, be a day of unprecedented anger against the enemy and its crimes and against Biden’s visit to the Zionist entity to cover and protect this criminal entity,” the Islamic terrorist group said. “And let the message be clear that this is a day that comes after it on the path of resistance, victory, and retaliation for the oppressed from the oppressor.” (Read more from “Hezbollah Calls for ‘Day of Unprecedented Anger’ at Israel, U.S.; U.S. Issues Lebanon Travel Advisory” HERE)

‘Israel Will Be Gone Soon,’ Iranian Official Says

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Israel “will be gone soon and the Palestinian nation will be victorious in the final battle,” a senior Iranian official said on Monday amid fresh attempts by the Islamic Republic to rally militant forces across the region against the Jewish state.

Israel’s destruction is certain, Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, said in public remarks as he hosted Hamas representatives in Tehran. Velayati urged Hamas leaders to continue their assault on Israel nearly a week after the Iranian-backed group conducted an unprecedented slaughter of nearly 1,500 Israeli citizens, according to a report in Tehran’s state-controlled media.

Iran’s coordination with Hamas, highlighted in Monday’s meeting, comes amid parallel efforts by top Iranian officials to rally Arab countries in the region against Israel. Iranian foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian held talks with Tunisia on Monday and said the Islamic “resistance is fully ready to respond to Zionists’ warmongering.”

Iran’s role in galvanizing Arab nations against Israel threatens to ignite a broader Middle East conflict, particularly along Israel’s northern border where Hezbollah forces backed by Tehran have been steadily increasing their strikes on Israeli territory. It also serves as a test for the Biden administration as it works to prevent the Hamas-Israel conflict from spreading into a wider war that could entangle American forces. U.S. officials are said to be “increasingly anxious” about a full blown attack on Israel by surrounding Arab countries. (Read more from “‘Israel Will Be Gone Soon,’ Iranian Official Says” HERE)

Iran Warns ‘Preemptive Action’ Against Israel Expected in Coming Hours by Resistance Front

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iranian officials warned late Monday of possible “preemptive action” against Israel by the “resistance front” ahead of the Jewish nation’s imminent ground invasion into Gaza.

“The resistance front is capable of waging a long-term war with the enemy [Israel]… in the coming hours, we can expect a preemptive action by the resistance front,” Iran Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said in a live broadcast to state TV.

Iran has denied any involvement in Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7 which killed 1,400 people, however, Tehran has long backed Hamas and supported the plight of Palestinians since 1979.

“Leaders of the Resistance will not allow the Zionist regime to take any action in Gaza. … All options are open and we cannot be indifferent to the war crimes committed against the people of Gaza,” Amirabdollahian added, in reference to a meeting he had with Hezbollah leaders Saturday.

Israel War: Iran Seeks to Rally ‘All Arab and Islamic Countries’ to Back Palestinian Terrorists

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iran wants “all Arab and Islamic countries” to unite against Israel in the wake of the Hamas terrorist attack that ignited a war in Gaza.

“Today, the most obvious issue before us is that all Arab and Islamic countries should agree on a single and clear position to support the rights of the Palestinian nation and the oppressed people of Gaza,” Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi told Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, according to Iranian media.

U.S. and British forces are moving into the eastern Mediterranean in a bid to deter Iran and its proxies, while Secretary of State Antony Blinken conducts his own diplomatic tour of the Middle East to support Israel and discourage a wider war. Iran has launched a diplomatic campaign by phone and in person to rally Middle East leaders against Israel, while Iran-backed terrorist organizations threaten to expand the conflict.

“We have come prepared for you outside Palestine, just as we were inside Palestine, and the events that unfolded in the Gaza Envelope shall be mirrored in other battlegrounds,” Palestinian Islamic Jihad spokesman Abu Hamza said Thursday, according to Iranian media.

Airstrikes Cripple Syria’s Two Main Airports Before Iranian Foreign Minister Was Expected to Arrive: Reports

/1 Comment/in , /by

Airstrikes crippled the runways at the two main airports in Syria on Thursday as Iran’s foreign minister was reportedly expected to arrive in the country.

Syrian-state media blamed the strikes on Israel, which declined to comment on the matter. The airports that were targeted were international airports in the Syrian capital of Damascus and the northern city of Aleppo.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Syrian air defenses tried to respond to the incident, which came a day before Hossein Amir-Abdollahian was expected to arrive in the country. No one was believed to be hurt in the airstrikes on the airports.

The incident comes after Palestinian terrorists launched an unprecedented wave of attacks in Israel several days ago, killing more than 1,300 people and injuring more than 3,000. At least 27 Americans were killed, and more than a dozen were still unaccounted for.

Biden Breaks His Silence on Iran as U.S. Sends Supplies, More Fighter Jets Toward Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden issued a cryptic warning to Iran Wednesday to “be careful” despite his administration painstakingly denying any links between the country and the brutal attacks by Hamas that butchered more than 1,200 people in Israel.

Biden made the comments while speaking to a group of Jewish leaders at the White House just one day after he avoided any mention of Iran in his speech responding to the attacks.

“You know, I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu I don’t know how many times, but again this morning, and already we’re surging additional military assistance to the Israeli Defense Force, including ammunition, interceptors to replenish the Iron Dome, and we’ve moved the U.S. carrier fleet to the Eastern Mediterranean, and we’re sending more fighter jets there to that region, and made it clear — made it clear to the Iranians: Be careful,” Biden said.

National Security Counsel spokesperson John Kirby reiterated the administration’s belief earlier in the day that there was no specific evidence Iran was involved in the egregious actions taken by Hamas over the weekend. However, he left open the possibility that assessment could change in the future as intelligence continues to be assessed.

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that Iranian security officials approved Hamas’ plan to attack Israel during a meeting in Beirut on Oct. 2. Hamas and Hezbollah leaders said Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps worked with Hamas since August on air, land and sea attack plans.

Reporter Lights up State Dept. Spox After He Tries Blaming Trump for $6 Billion Biden Unfroze for Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

Though the statement President Joe Biden gave Tuesday about Hamas’ terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians was far more pointed regarding the situation and supportive of Israel than the brief, bumbling remarks he gave Saturday, the overall response from the Biden administration to date has to many, to put it mildly, been sorely lacking and quite frankly unacceptable.

To further prove the point, we turn to a State Dept. briefing held earlier where spokesman Matt Miller and Associated Press reporter Matt Lee had a heated exchange on the issue of the $6 billion in Iranian assets Biden unfroze as part of a hostage-freeing deal with Iran that was first reported on in July, but which became official in September.

Since the attacks began, Republicans and other staunch supporters of Israel have been accusing Biden of essentially helping to fund the atrocities being committed by Hamas, pointing to the $6 billion hostage-swapping agreement and how it paved the way for Iran to further fund attacks on U.S. allies in the region. Relatedly, some House and Senate Republicans are now calling on Biden to refreeze those assets in light of the Israel-Hamas war.

Over the weekend, Biden National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson insulted everyone’s intelligence by declaring that, “Not a single cent from these funds has been spent, and when it is spent, it can only be spent on things like food and medicine for the Iranian people,” while adding, “These funds have absolutely nothing to do with the horrific attacks today and this is not the time to spread disinformation.”

What she conveniently left out though was that the funds are fungible, which means holding them in the bank solely for “humanitarian aid” frees up Iran to use existing funds they have on hand for terrorism.

Biden’s New Military Chief Warns Iran Over Israel-Hamas Conflict

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden‘s newly-installed military leader issued a warning on Monday to Iran as Israel goes to war against Hamas after the militant group conducted a deadly raid from Gaza over the weekend.

Asked what his message is to Iran, Gen. CQ Brown, who was confirmed as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff a little more than two weeks ago, said, “Not to get involved,” according to a small group of reporters who spoke to him on a flight to Brussels and relayed parts of their conversation on X.

The Washington Post’s Dan Lamothe noted Brown referred to the deployment of a carrier strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean and additional fighter jets to the region.

“We wanted to send a pretty strong message that we don’t want this to broaden, and the idea is for Iran to get that message loud and clear,” Brown explained.

The Biden administration concedes Iran has long provided assistance to Hamas, but so far has publicly pushed back on claims that Iran helped plot the attack on Israel. (Read more from “Biden’s New Military Chief Warns Iran Over Israel-Hamas Conflict” HERE)

Guess What Iran Did Right After Biden Gave Them $6 Billion

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last week President Joe Biden announced the unfreezing of $6 billion in Iranian regime assets and the release of five Iranian prisoners in exchange for 5 five American hostages. White House officials claim the new infusion of cash is designated for humanitarian purposes and rejecting the classification the deal was a ransom payment.

The move has been widely criticized as an incentive for the Iranian regime, and other adversarial governments, to kidnap Americans. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill and former Trump admimitration officials warned the cash will only fuel bad behavior and terrorist attacks.

During remarks at the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi proved Biden’s critics correct and threatened to assassinate American officials. (Read more from “Guess What Iran Did Right After Biden Gave Them $6 Billion” HERE)
