As a father if you have a child that misbehaves and brings problems to you all the time, it is your duty to correct and discipline the child, failure to do so will seriously hurt you someday.
Israel has been over pampered by US for decades, before now a mere criticism of Israel in US will cause you a lot if you are a public figure, but I'm happy things are now changing
If Donald trump of all people can be saying all these to Netanyahu, then his supporters here in Nigeria should just wake up
Trump is right, how can Israel face Iran alone, america provides everything they use in striking Iran, the bombs, the tanker refueling aircrafts, the fighter jets, missile defense systems, etc
The greatest friend of Israel in the white house is finally telling them the uncomfortable truth
This Iran war with US and Israel has taught me a lot, you need to be strong, else people will ride roughshod over you.
US President Donald Trump says he warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel could find itself “alone against Iran” if the conflict escalated into a broader war.
Speaking to Israel’s Channel 12, Trump claimed he urged Netanyahu not to respond to Iran’s missile attack and later worked to reduce the scope of Israel’s strike on Iranian targets.
Trump also said Iran informed Washington it would stop attacking Israel and asked the US to persuade Jerusalem to halt its operations, adding that he still believes a nuclear deal with Tehran remains possible.
The post follows multiple waves of Iranian strikes against Israel, and the IDF striking several locations across Iran.
US President Donald Trump called for Iran and Israel to stop "shooting" at each other in a Monday post to Truth Social.
The post follows multiple waves of Iranian strikes against Israel, starting Sunday evening, with the IDF striking several locations across Iran, including in Tehran.
Following several waves of Iranian missile attacks on Israel, in which four houses were damaged in a West Bank town, the IDF on Monday morning struck several key targets throughout western Iran.
Israel's targets including a petrochemical plant near Iran's southwestern city of Mahshahr, which the military confirmed was used to produce ballistic missiles.
Parts of the site were damaged in the Israeli strike, and the area is being evacuated, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-run Fars News Agency reported later on Monday.
After Iran's renewal of strikes against Israel on Sunday, Trump had urged Tehran to return to the negotiating table in order to finalize a deal.
What I would suggest to Iran," Trump told Fox News. "You've shot your missiles, that's enough. Get back to the table and make a deal."
Later on Sunday, he told the Financial Times that Sunday's Iranian missile attack on Israel will not "have any impact on the deal," according to the FT.
We’ll see how it ends up," he said. "But they were attacks that did not kick at all."
Trump earlier asked Netanyahu to avoid striking Iran in retaliation for the recent Iranian missile attack on Israel, according to N12 news.
US President Donald Trump told the Financial Times on Monday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "won’t have any choice" but to accept a deal with Iran.
“I call the shots. I call all the shots," said Trump. "He doesn’t call the shots.”
He added that Sunday's Iranian missile attack on Israel will not "have any impact on the deal," according to the FT.
“We’ll see how it ends up," he said. "But they were attacks that did not kick at all.
It’s one of those things that’s been going for 3,000 years, or 47 years, depending on how you count,” Trump added
On Sunday, Trump asked Netanyahu to avoid striking Iran in retaliation for the recent Iranian missile attack on Israel, N12 news reported
Trump further told KAN News that Israel "has responded enough, no need for more."
Trump: US 'very close' to Iran deal Later on Sunday, Trump told Axios that the US is "very close to a final deal with Iran."
"I don't want it to blow up because of what is happening now," said Trump.
Trump added that the Iran strikes "didn't hurt anybody," saying that he hopes Israel does not retaliate. "If Netanyahu strikes them back, it's just gonna keep going like the last 47 years, or last 3,000 years," said Trump.
Earlier on Sunday, Trump urged Iran to get back to the negotiating table. "What I would suggest to Iran: You've shot your missiles, that's enough. Get back to the table and make a deal," Trump told Fox News.
He also told Fox that he was unaware of the strikes on Lebanon, contrary to earlier reports, and that he was angry about them.
Trump reiterated to the FT that Sunday's attacks will not affect his decision-making on an Iran deal. “The deal may make it on its own merit, or not, but this will not have any effect on it,” he said.
Trump added that he would consider a ground raid on Iran if negotiations failed.
“It means two things,” said Trump. “Number one, it would mean that possibly we would go in and take care of the rest of the place that we didn’t take care of militarily. Or it would just mean that we would keep the blockade on Iran because the blockade has been probably more powerful than any attack that was ever made on that country.”
FreeStuffsNG: Iranian missiles hit their targets but the information is currently censored. There are fatalities inside Occupied Palestine as well.
we all know about the censorship in Israel, journalists were prevented from covering and reporting certain things during the last conflict with Iran, but they can't hide the truth anymore
FreeStuffsNG: They are not new o, my brother. The civilization and military prowess of Persia dates back 3,000 years. The current generation are living up to the Persian reputation as warriors.
Trump is telling his proxy, Netanyahu, in Occupied Palestine not to respond to the Iranian retaliation for Isreal's ceasefire violation against Lebanon because he(USA) will not defend him against Iran o.
I wanted to say they are the good guys
But I agree with you completely though, Donald trump is scared of Iran these days from his utterances, he's also tired of defending Israel
It serves america right, they can no longer control the monster they created
They spent hundreds of billions of dollars in military aid to Israel for decades, defended and shielded the Zionist regime at the united nations and other international organization from prosecution.
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is increasingly concerned about Israel ramping up its spying on the U.S., recently raising the counterintelligence threat level from America’s top ally in the Middle East to the highest level, according to two U.S. officials and one former U.S. official.
The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency in recent weeks issued the new counterintelligence threat assessment amid rising tensions between Israel and the U.S. over the way forward in the war with Iran, the officials said. They said the DIA posted an internal message, viewed by one of the current officials, that raised the level for Israel to “critical.”
The designation stems from concerns within the Pentagon that Israel is making a particular effort to surveil top U.S. officials to get information on the Trump administration’s internal deliberations and decision-making on the conflicts in the Middle East, the officials said.
The DIA assessment includes a seven-page document and features a chart, according to one of the current U.S. officials. The document says the assessment of Israel is that its ability to conduct human espionage and technical collection is at a “critical level,” according to the official.
It also identifies a series of specific incidents that heightened U.S. concerns, the official said.
A spokesperson for the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., said in a statement that it is “completely false” that Israel spies on the U.S. “Israel does not gather intelligence on American entities, let alone US government officials,” the spokesperson said. “Israel intelligence collection efforts are aimed at its enemies, not its allies. Any claims to the contrary are either misinformed or politically motivated.”
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees all the U.S. intelligence agencies including the DIA, did not respond to a request for comment.
While it is commonplace for allies and adversaries across the globe to spy on each other, the current and former U.S. officials said Israel’s recent efforts have gone well beyond what is typical and expected espionage. The officials did not know if a specific incident triggered the DIA’s decision to raise the counterintelligence threat level. The heightened alert comes as President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have clashed over the war with Iran and Israel’s military operations in Lebanon, including in a tense phone call this past week, NBC News reported. Trump acknowledged afterward to reporters that he called Netanyahu “crazy” during the call as questions mount about whether the two countries’ objectives in the Middle East are beginning to significantly diverge.
Since a ceasefire deal was reached in early April, Trump has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Iran to end the war Israel and the U.S. launched on Feb. 28. Israel has publicly expressed skepticism that Iran would abide by any negotiated deal. Netanyahu has pushed for a resumption of bombing raids against Iran and disagreed with Trump, who has pressed him to scale back attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon, according to Western officials.
Israel is keenly interested in whether Trump decides to resume major combat operations against Iran or to end the conflict, the current and former U.S. officials and outside experts said.
The most practical outcome for the Pentagon is that U.S. officials will use extra caution when traveling to Israel or visiting with Israeli officials, the current and former U.S. officials said. They said there did not appear to be any impact on the high-level intelligence-sharing that occurs on a daily basis between the two countries, particularly associated with the Iran war.
The U.S. already takes extra precautions when visiting Israel,” one of the current U.S. officials said. “They’re well-known to aggressively collect.”
The U.S., like other countries, maintains elaborate counterintelligence, or “spy catcher,” efforts to prevent and track espionage by foreign adversaries as well as by allies and partners, seeking to safeguard state secrets and monitor attempts to recruit or coerce U.S. officials. Under U.S. law, the FBI has the leading role in counterintelligence efforts, but they also involve a range of government agencies and the military.
According to current and former diplomats and former national security officials, Israel for years has had a reputation for aggressive espionage even against the U.S., its closest ally. It’s a practice that has long raised concerns among national security and diplomatic officials, and U.S. intelligence officials closely monitor the issue, according to experts and the current and former U.S. officials.
Top U.S. officials often take extra care when traveling to Israel, sometimes using burner phones and computers and taking extreme caution when speaking in hotel rooms during official trips, the current and former U.S. officials and experts said.
Israel has “a hyper-aggressive intelligence service,” said Emily Harding, vice president of the Defense and Security Department and director of the intelligence, national security and technology program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank in Washington. “They are exceedingly interested in what we are up to,” Harding said of the Israelis.
In the 1980s, spying by Israel caused a rift with Washington, with U.S. Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollard spending 30 years in prison after he was found to have sold suitcases of top-secret documents to Israel.
The U.S. also spies on its allies and seeks to gather intelligence on foreign partners, as evidenced in 2013 by leaks from intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
Those leaks showed that the U.S. was eavesdropping on European leaders, including then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s mobile phone, sparking outrage in Berlin.
The U.S. and Israel remain close allies, and the two countries’ intelligence services have forged a close working relationship over decades. But concerns about possible Israeli espionage at such a sensitive moment — when the two governments are not in full agreement about the war with Iran — carry the risk of undermining trust between the two countries, two additional former U.S. officials said.
DUBAI, June 5 (Reuters) - Iran's navy said on Friday it had fired warning missiles and drones at U.S. warships in the Gulf of Oman, accusing the U.S. Navy of harassing maritime traffic and seizing commercial vessels and oil tankers, Iranian state media reported.
Earlier, the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said U.S. forces had intercepted the sanctioned stateless vessel M/T DAVINA in the Indian Ocean overnight.
We will continue global maritime enforcement to disrupt illicit networks and interdict vessels providing material support to Iran, wherever they operate," it said in a post on X
The exchange comes amid heightened tensions over maritime security around Iran, as Washington enforces sanctions on Iranian oil shipments and Tehran has repeatedly threatened shipping in and around the Strait of Hormuz.
Donald Trump has claimed that “there would be no Israel” if not for him, as he denied he had been “tricked” into the ongoing conflict with Iran.
The US president and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently had a furious call over the war, according to an Axios report, with Trump said to have called his counterpart “crazy”.
In a wide-ranging interview with the conservative podcast Pod Force One released on Wednesday, Trump pushed back at suggestions he had been manoeuvred into starting the war three months ago.
“I’m the one that started it,” the president insisted. “I started it because we can’t let them [Iran] have a nuclear weapon. If there wasn’t me there would be no Israel right now.”
No wonder Donald trump called him crazy, he's always on a mission to sabotage trump efforts, trump that is desperately looking for a ceasefire with Iran
Little Netanyahu cannot do anything against Iran without US involvement, he's only strong when it comes to bombing defenseless civilians in Gaza and Lebanon
The funniest thing about this phone call between Donald trump and Netanyahu is that I've not seen any news of Israel bombing Lebanon since morning, it appears they have paused all the operation for now in southern Lebanon
All thanks to Iran, they threatened to Walk away from the ceasefire if Israel continue to attack Lebanon and Donald trump immediately called Netanyahu and ordered him to stop all the hostilities and turn back his troops
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu tells US media that any full-scale return to military action against Iran is up to US President Donald Trump, adding that US and Israeli forces are ready for any action.
June 3 (Reuters) - Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps has attacked the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters and an airbase and helicopters in a regional country using missiles and drones, Iranian media reported on Wednesday, in response to what the IRGC described as a U.S. attack on an a communications tower south of Qeshm Island.
IRGC navy also targeted a vessel it identified as Panaya with missiles in response to what it said was a U.S. attack on an Iranian tanker near the Strait of Hormuz with a projectile that damaged the engine room, Iranian media reported.
Nothing lasts forever, no friendship, no alliance, even family members and twins turn on each other at some point in life, example is Peter and Paul of psquare
Hmmm, and Netanyahu obeyed his order as he turned Israeli troops back from attacking Beirut, I think for the first time I agree with Donald trump that satanyahu is f**kg crazy
President Trump confirmed in an exclusive “Pod Force One” interview with The Post’s Miranda Devine that he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “f–king crazy” during a Monday phone call, but insisted they have “worked very well together.”
“I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon,” Trump said. The attacks have imperiled US-Iran peace talks due to Tehran’s insistence that the Israeli targeting of Hezbollah cease before a deal is reached to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and then dismantle Iran’s nuclear program.
“We’ve worked very well together. I like Bibi a lot. And I work very well with him,” Trump insisted after confirming his fiery outburst demanding that Netanyahu hold fire.
I’m a wartime president,” the commander in chief told Devine for the new podcast episode out Wednesday. “He’s a wartime prime minister.”
Although the president said he’s frustrated by the possibility that the side conflict could derail a larger peace, he said he remains optimistic that he will have a deal “fairly quickly” — and crowed about record-high stock market values, showing the US economy is resilient, and dashed predictions of even higher oil prices.
“Everyone said it was going to be $300, $400 a barrel, it’s 98 dollars a barrel but that’s not a big price to pay if you look at the possibility of them having a nuclear weapon,” he said.
A memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran could reopen the Strait of Hormuz as early as this week, alleviating the energy pinch that caused gasoline prices and inflation to surge.
Trump’s explosive language with Netanyahu was first reported Monday by Axios and was met with disbelief by some defenders of Israel, including conservative commentator Mark Levin, who called on the FBI to investigate who supplied the news outlet the vulgar verbiage, claiming it aided Iran.
Multiple Israeli officials have criticised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to cancel a strike on Beirut at the urging of US President Donald Trump.
Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reject a US-brokered Lebanon ceasefire backed by President Donald Trump, calling on him to “say no” to Trump, writing on X that “this is the time to tell our friend, President Trump — ‘no’.” He added that Israel should carry out strikes against Hezbollah and restore security in the north. |
US is now entangled in this war, it appears Donald trump wants to end this conflict but Netanyahu is sabotaging every of his efforts and trump has become very frustrated
What all the past american presidents before him avoided, he foolishly jumped into it because of Netanyahu's flattery and sweet words calling him the greatest American president and friend of Israel
What the f@uck are you doing?' Trump yells at Netanyahu on tense call regarding Lebanon
One source summarized part of Trump’s comments as “everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,” said the report by Axios.
US President Trump accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being the reason for global hatred of Israel in an angry call on Monday, Axios reported.
Earlier on Monday, Iran had threatened to stop negotiating with the US due to Israel’s action in Lebanon, prompting the call in which Trump at one point yelled at Netanyahu, “What the f*** are you doing?”
According to one US official, Trump felt that Netanyahu was reacting disproportionally to Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel. He objected to Israel destroying buildings to take out a single Hezbollah commander, and Israel’s threats against Beirut, Axios wrote.
Another source summarized part of Trump’s comments as “everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,” according to Axios.
Attacks on Beirut canceled
While Netanyahu released a statement after the call that Israel’s position “remains the same,” a US official told Axios that Trump had actually “steamrolled” Netanyahu
Bibi said, 'OK, OK, just make sure everything is taken care of,'" Axios quoted the official as saying.
Another official said that this was one of Trump’s worst calls with Netanyahu since the start of his second term.
After the call, Trump announced that Netanyahu had “turned his Troops around,” after he asked him “not to go into a major raid of Beirut,” in a post on Truth Social
In another post, Trump wrote that talks were continuing “at a rapid pace” with Iran.
An Iranian missile strike on an air base in Kuwait has reportedly injured several Americans, as President Trump weighs whether to accept Tehran’s latest peace proposal or return to war.
The Americans injured some time within the last 24 hours included contractors and active duty personnel, a source told Bloomberg News Saturday, with minor injuries suffered after Kuwaiti air defenses struck an incoming Fategh-110 missile.
The attack also seriously damaged a pair of MQ-9 Reaper drones, which cost about $30 million as debris fell on the Ali Al Salem air base.
President Trump huddled with his security team Friday, and said he plans to make a “final determination” on a deal with Iran that would extend a cease fire for 60 days, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and set up further negotiations on Iran’s nuclear material while the US lifts its blockade.
Located about 20 miles from the Iraqi border, the base hosted US troops during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
US Central Command did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
