PM calls on ‘all peace-loving countries’ to back US efforts against Iran
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is appealing to “all peace-loving countries” to support American efforts to halt what he called escalating Iranian provocations.
Speaking Thursday at a reception for the New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Netanyahu says that “in the last 24 hours, Iran has intensified its aggression against the United States and against all of us,” adding that “Israel stands by the United States and its military.”
He speaks shortly after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard shot down a US surveillance drone in the Strait of Hormuz. Heightened tensions in recent weeks have raised fears of war between the two countries.
Israeli officials have welcomed Washington’s mounting pressure on Tehran, but steered clear of calling for a conflagration that might put Israel in the line of fire.

"all peace-loving countries" to support our 6 million pound golem and its goys in our mission to reshape the world and make unlawful all speech and action criticizing Israel as anti-semitic
Does anyone in the world not understand the US is basically Israels military arm in modern times? We are so fucked
The audacity of these kikes is just unbelievable and their ability to use double speak knows no bounds.
The headline in Haaretz: Iran, U.S. Are on the Warpath Again. This Time, Israel Has Little Say

Amid Iran tensions, deputy head of US forces in Middle East visits Israel
Lt. Gen. Thomas Bergeson, the deputy head of US Central Command, visited Israel this week amid the face-off in the Persian Gulf between the United States and Iran.
The army says Bergeson was hosted by IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. It doesn’t specify when his visit was planned.
US Central Command, known as CENTCOM, is responsible for US forces in the Middle East. Its commander, Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, requested the dispatch of a aircraft carrier strike group to the region in May as a response to what the US said were threats by Iran.
Earlier today, Iran announced it downed a US military drone over its airspace, but CENTCOM said the drone was shot down with a surface-to-air missile in international airspace.

Pelosi says ‘no appetite’ in US for war with Iran
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the US cannot be “reckless” amid rising tensions with Iran.
Pelosi says today she doesn’t think US President Donald Trump wants to go to war. And she says the American people don’t want war either.
“There’s no appetite for going to war in our country,” she says.
The country needs to be “strong and strategic” about protecting its interests, Pelosi says, and “cannot be reckless.”
Pelosi calls a caucus-wide meeting of Democrats for later Thursday on Iran. House and Senate leadership will also be briefed by administration officials.
Tensions between Tehran and Washington have been rising over the collapsing nuclear deal with world powers. On Thursday Iran’s Revolutionary Guard shot down a US surveillance drone.

Bolton to arrive in Israel Sunday for talks with PM, Israeli and Russian counterparts
WASHINGTON — US National Security Adviser John Bolton will travel to Israel over the weekend for “regional security talks” with top Russian and Israeli officials, the White House says today amid spiking tensions with Iran.
Bolton will meet Sunday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, followed by talks with his Israeli and Russian counterparts, Meir Ben-Shabbat and Nikolai Patrushev, NSC spokesman Garrett Marquis says.
Bolton also will meet with the director general of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission Zeev Snir.
The NSC announcement came just hours after Iran shot down a US drone in what Washington called an unprovoked attack.
Tehran said the drone, a high-flying Global Hawk, was brought down with a surface-to-air missile after it entered its airspace. The US military said the drone was in international airspace.
“Iran made a very big mistake!” US President Donald Trump tweeted.

I will give him credit if he doesn't go into war, even if he's failed at immigration.
Mainstream shilling is at almost Iraq war heights, plus the shilling here has even gotten bad.
