New York Times.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called President Donald Trump on Wednesday and urged him to “postpone” any plan to attack Iran following the mass slaughter of pro-democracy protestors in the country, reported The New York Times on Thursday.

Trump surprised many during an Oval Office Q&A on Thursday, saying, “We’ve been told that the killing in Iran is stopping, and it’s stopped, it’s stopping. And there’s no plan for executions, or an execution, or executions.” He later added that his administration would take a “wait and see” posture before following through on Trump’s promise to intervene if Iran killed protesters, which it has done en masse in recent days.

The Times added some background to Trump’s apparent flip-flop, reporting that “Netanyahu spoke to Mr. Trump on Wednesday, the same day the American president said he had received information from ‘very important sources on the other side’ that Iran had stopped killing protesters and was not going forward with executions. That appeared to signal that Mr. Trump was backing away from a potential U.S. attack on Iran, which he has been weighing for days.”

The Times noted that Trump could also be following the same playbook he used when he struck Iran in June, which included contradicting signals as to whether or not he would order the strike.

Other U.S. allies in the Middle East — Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Egypt — also asked Trump not to attack Iran, warning of a “wider regional conflict,” reported the Times.

It is also worth noting that Saudi Arabia and Qatar, two middle east countries where the US has some of its largest military bases, warned the US that they will not permit the US to use their countries as staging areas for strikes.

This scrambled the plans the US already had as they had already positioned KC-135 Stratotankers (aerial refuelling tankers), in Qatar. A carrier strike group was also already on its way to the Persian gulf.

Iran had through unofficial sources warned Qatar and Saudi Arabia that should they allow the US launch strikes from their territories, it would target every possible oil field and refinery it's ballistics missiles could reach. A global disruption in oil supply is definitely not something the US, Saudi Arabia nor Qatar wants. So the US has backed off for now.

The Iranian revolutionary guard knows that any attack by the US would be to permanently disable them. They have signalled that if they go down, they'll take the global economy along with them. No US president wants a recession on his watch. So Trump backed down.

The situation over there is still very fluid but the US has achieved one thing already. With the Iranian military on high alert, every radar station Iran has to spot advancing enemy aircraft was activated and the US now knows where they are.

Satanyahu is yet to get over the 12 days of boom boom boom ringtone.

Lamba . They are both scared of Iran reprisal attack . Shutting down elun musk starlink created fear in them , they are scared of the capabilities of Iran . Irans best decision was shutting down the internet from the outside world

They knew it will be very hard for them to operate with the starlink out. Iran is fully.prepared and ready to match their madness with bigger ones.

Shutting down starlink terminals took the US by surprise. This is something not even Russia has been able to do in Ukraine. Iran itself doesn't possess that capability either. It meant only one thing. China had gotten involved.

Late last year, the CIA and Mossad concluded that China was helping Iran rapidly rebuild its ballistic missile program. They just weren't sure how extensive China had gone. Out of an abundance of caution, the Israeli presidential jet was spotted in Greece earlier in the week though it is not known if Netannyahu was on it.

Israel knows that Iran now knows that the David's sling and Iron dome defense systems cannot handle saturation attacks from ballistic missiles and Iran still has plenty of those. Bomb shelters were opened and Israelis were urged to be on the alert.

Whatever technology Iran used is also available to Russia. Make of this statement what you want to.

Yes it is. I believe the reason why Russia hasn't been able to do so in Ukraine is because both the airspace and land in Ukraine are contested. Russia currently doesn't have air superiority over Ukraine and it is gaining territory very slowly. Whatever territory it manages it gain, it struggles to keep.

Attrition Warfare is about destroying the enemy while preserving your forces, not about acquiring land. Land will come easily after enemy is weakened sufficiently.

Russia won't hesitate to retreat from land unlike Ukraine. The aim is to destroy ennemy forces while preserving yours.

They have started again.

This is how they spread lies. A religion if lies, lies and more lies.

Give us NY Times verified link where Netanyahu pressured Trump against attacking Iran.

That's how they started lying that Israel was begging for ceasefire during the 12 day war. Someone who has absolute control of your air space will beg you for what?

Without lies, Islam dies.
