Live Thread: War With Iran Continues #4

Iran halts military operations against Israel but threatens a restart

Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya military headquarters announced the end of hostilities against Israel on Monday just minutes after President Donald Trump demanded a ceasefire.

Iran's military says the ceasefire is conditional on Israel also halting its attacks, however, vowing to renew "severe and crushing" operations if attacks continue.

"Following the aggressions and evils of the brutal Zionist regime in South Lebanon and the Dahiya region, which took place with the support of the criminal America, the powerful armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran gave a painful response to this regime in order to support the oppressed people of Lebanon," the military wrote in a statement.

"On this basis, the cessation of armed forces operations is announced; But it is emphasized that if the aggressions and evils continue, including in the south of Lebanon, much more severe and crushing measures will be on the way," it continued.

You are delusional if you believe that is the only reason we are there.

You misunderstand.  We should pack up and leave Israel.   Nothing should prevent us from exploring other opportunities in the Middle East.

[Idiot]

Ugggh....   Who knew that this is what a ceasefire/peace looked like in the middle east.....  It appears that Trump wants peace at any cost now.

[Timber Rattler]

The really disturbing thing here is that Trump is now letting the Iranians link Lebanon and Hezbollah to any ceasefire or deal that he's trying to make with them, something he said he would NOT do last week.  No wonder the Israelis are so confused...Trump changes his mind and moves the goal posts every day!

There have to be things going on behind the curtain that we are unaware of.  If Trump was truly this chaotic you'd think there would be massive leaks from his administration and you really aren't hearing that.  Even the Israeli's would be screaming bloody murder.

Trump seeks to tie Netanyahu’s hands, as the partnership that went to war 100 days ago collapses
Telling Israel it had better not respond to an Iranian missile attack, the US president — desperate for a deal with the devilish Tehran regime — presented the PM with a stark dilemma

By David Horovitz
Today, 2:53 am

One hundred days after they went to war together to thwart Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program, radically degrade its ballistic missile industry, end its support for the Hezbollah and Hamas terror armies, and create the conditions for the fall of the regime, the US-Israel alliance against the Islamic Republic on Sunday reached its nadir.

With its north battered relentlessly by Hezbollah in recent weeks, Israel resorted to a largely symbolic strike on the terror group’s Dahiyeh stronghold in Beirut, reportedly without telling the disapproving Trump administration ahead of time that it was doing so.

And, as it had warned it would, Iran responded by firing about 10 missiles at northern Israel — again sending that sector of the country rushing to bomb shelters, though causing no injuries or damage.

But as Israel prepared to “respond forcefully” against Iran, in the words of an unnamed senior Israeli official, US President Donald Trump ordered it to think again.

If your neighbor was assembling a nuclear weapon to wipe out your entire country wouldn't you try to stop them and maybe even get your friends to help?

Yes, of course.  And, we've answered that clarion call.   We should have gone home right after .....

... Because now, Netanyahu wants the US to take out all Iranian missiles and Hezbollah soldiers and weapons --- and to this, I say "enough".   Netanyahu can use his own "best trained military" and credit card to accomplish this. 

Time for us to toot and wave, baby, toot and wave.

Actually, Israel's been pretty busy .....

AI Overview

Since April, Israel has carried out nearly 3,500 airstrikes and dropped hundreds of bombs across Lebanon, including an attack on April 8 where approximately 160 bombs were dropped within minutes.

The Lebanese Prime Minister's office reported that between April 17 and June 7, Israel conducted 3,491 airstrikes in addition to 407 controlled demolitions and razing operations.

It was never a "partnership".

When someone approaches you to form a "partnership", run.  The person approaching you has champagne tastes on a beer budget.  They need you more than you need them.  They want to use your resources to achieve their objectives while you take on their costs and their risks.  They benefit, you incur a greater share of the costs.

To get rid of the Iran nuclear program, you need to get rid of the current regime and the IRGC.  The US and Israel don't have to go this alone.  Iran has no friends in the Persian Gulf.  There's more than one way to get rid of a regime.  This is when you need to guys in the basement of the CIA, Mossad, and regional intelligence agencies to do the voo doo they do, oh, so well.

Dropping bombs is not enough.  America does not have stomach for troops on the ground in, yet, another forever war and nation building campaign in the Near East.  Time to let the espionage spooks to use their dirty tricks to bring down the regime and IRGC from within.

It's time for an ol' fashioned Cold War style coup d'etat in Tehran.  Yes, that means backing a very, very bad man who has the ruthlessness for the task.  Forget a Neo-Con wet dream of a Western-style democracy in Iran.

To get rid of Iran's nukes, the world needs to get rid of the Iranian regime and the IRGC that keeps them in power.  Bombing didn't work, so time for plan B.  Could we see the return of exploding pagers, but this time in Tehran?

Iran has a very strange way of portraying itself as a poor beaten defeated nation that only wants 'peace', as delusional Trump describes them.
Trump's delusional 'ceasefire' has stopped all aggressions in the Middle East. Trump's delusional quest for a mythical "deal" with 'talks' is going great.
Trump's first act as 'acting Prime Minister of Israel' as he declared himself to be, was to bomb Iran? That was an odd choice for Trump to make.

Trump's delusional statement that Israel defending itself from Hezbollah, and Iran showering Israel with missiles was just kids having "fun", demonstrates how far away from reality Trump has become.

He refuses to listen to his Military and Political advisors because Trump has a delusional view of himself as a divine Angle of Peace, who has the magic ability to win over Satan himself with the power of his almighty miraculous 'DEAL', which Trump's delusions imagine will cure all ills, end all wars, and bring eternal peace to all mankind.

Trump really has gone way out there. He is starting to believe that he really is the King of the World by his own words.
Iran will do what I say. They have no choice. Trump said this.
Israel will do what I say. They have no choice. Trump said this.

I love Trump, and I support Trump. I always have. But these are not statements a rational person would say. Vance/Rubio for example, would never say anything like this. Something happened to him. Something changed him. Chuck Norris never actually believed all the jokes about him. I think Trump does.

I think Trump believes he can change nations and the world by sheer force of will and nothing more than a 'good deal'. This is delusional thinking.

[Hoodat]

I know George W Bush gets a lot of flak on this board.  But at least he understood that the relationship needed to be righted first before proceeding with an assumption that the weapons would have ended up where demanded.  We had screwed the Turks over in the first Gulf War.  When Bush asked for their help the second go, they reminded him of the cash they were promised a decade earlier that never got there.  Bush honored America's word by paying the money with no expectation they would help in 2002.  He repaired the relationship.  Trump should have done that first with the Kurds instead of expecting them to carry our water.

[berdie]

‘Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike and Iran had its strike. We don’t need another one,’ Mr Trump said.
Trump described the attack - the first Iranian strikes on Israeli soil since April - as 'unhelpful' to the peace process and called for calm between the two nations.

Trump has gone off the rails. Describing war as 'fun' is idiotic, insulting, and condescending to every soldier everywhere who has served.
Equating Israel DEFENDING ITSELF FROM IRAN/HEZBOLLAH ATTACKS as 'fun' as an unprovoked strike on Lebanon is simply retarded.




Totally agree. Truthfully, even I was offended by his rhetoric. These aren't two children fighting over a toy.
Trump is making a moral equivalence between what Iran/Hezbollah are doing to Israel and what Israel is doing in defense. This is pure ignorance.
 
Trump seems to be unable to differentiate between defending civilians from attacks, and unprovoked aggression from Iran/Hezbollah.
Israel would be nowhere near Lebanon if Hezbollah had not launched thousands of missiles at them. Trump's words are lunacy.
Trump is speaking to Israel and Iran like a teacher speaks to little children. He has ho idea how much the Iranian regime is laughing at his nievete.

Trump is Great with domestic issues. But he should leave warfighting to the military. Trump is a lost and confused lamb when it comes to war.

The really disturbing thing here is that Trump is now letting the Iranians link Lebanon and Hezbollah to any ceasefire or deal that he's trying to make with them, something he said he would NOT do last week.

Why do you think since April Trump's been telling Netanyahu to uphold the ceasefire ---- even if it's difficult?  Trump's used every communication avenue and messaging approach hoping Netanyahu could see beyond his own reflection and stand down ---- not forever, but for now.

Yet, even the overwhelming majority here expressed opinions that Netanyahu has the right to decide for Israel, Trump's preferences and reasoning be damned.

So, yes, the Iranians are now linking Hezbollah and Lebanon to the peace deal, complicating it further----- but, thank Netanyahu for tossing this gift to the Mullahs, not Trump.

‘Israel may not like that’: Touting potential ‘home run’ deal, Vance says key US objective is preventing Iran from getting nukes

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israel-may-not-like-that-touting-potential-home-run-deal-vance-says-key-us-objective-is-preventing-iran-from-getting-nukes/

US Vice President JD Vance says the United States and Israel “have a lot of shared interests, but we also have some situations where our interests diverge,” as Fox News host Jesse Waters begins an interview by asking him how “concerned are you about Israel spying on the United States and freelancing in Lebanon?”

“I think where the president has been very clear here is that while Israel obviously has some objectives that it has, the United States’ main objective in Iran is to ensure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon,” Vance says, without actually addressing the questions posed to him.

Vance asserts that “over the last year and a half, we’ve created the space necessary where the president believes – and I think that he’s right – that we can get the long-term settlement to Iran’s nuclear deal.”

“Now, Israel may like that, they may not like that,” he adds. “But fundamentally, we think this is in the best interest of the United States of America.”

Asked if the Iranians are “trying to play” the US negotiators, Vance responds, “Everybody’s always trying to play everybody.”

EXCERPT

Vance just lost me for good with this stupid, tin-eared nonsense.
