Iran’s top diplomat last week called on the UN to hold the U.S. accountable for the destruction and casualties that resulted from its June war with Israel, and Washington after U.S. President Donald Trump came out and said he played a leading role in that effort.
The Trump administration is continuing to try and carry out its “maximum pressure” campaign on Iran by sanctioning individuals, entities, and vessels that purchase its oil, which is seen as a way the White House can bring the country’s economy to its knees and get Tehran to fall into line with Washington and Israel’s demands in the region.
The ceasefire between Iran and Israel may be holding, but the Iranians have reportedly worked to prepare for the next round of war by bolstering their air defense systems and rearming their militias in the region that have been weakened during their own fights with Israel.
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., issued a warning to Russia by invoking the Trump administration’s decision to join Israel’s war on Iran.
German warmonger, Chancellor Friedrich Merz said last week that Israel was completely justified in carrying out its sneak attack against Iran last month and said it could be argued that Tel Aviv “has been attacked almost daily for years and has the right to defend itself militarily.”
Earlier this month, Iran removed members of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from the country in response to Israel’s unprovoked attack on its nuclear facilities.
The Israeli government has worked hard to handcuff the news media in the country from reporting on the extensive damage that Iran inflicted during last month’s 12-day war and reportedly stopped a top journalist in the country from filming at one of the locations that were struck with Iranian missiles.
Russia spoke out against the Israel/U.S. war of aggression against Iran last month and condemned the use of military force as a “violation of the UN Charter and international law.”
The world’s a stage and U.S. President Donald Trump is the reality show master.
The U.S. on Monday announced the approval of $510 million in bomb guidance kit sales to Israel to help it replenish its stockpile after the recent war with Iran.
