Friedrich Merz, the warmongering German chancellor, drew criticism from Iran’s top diplomat for cheering on the Israelis during the brief war over Tehran’s legal nuclear program, stating that Iranians have already been “put off by Germany’s Nazi-style backing of Genocide in Gaza.”
Iran’s ambassador to Slovenia warned last week of the inherent risks to global diplomacy if Israel is not held accountable for carrying out its illegal war on Tehran and said no action would invite a “law-of-the-jungle” mindset.
Israel Katz, the Israeli defense minister, said Sunday that the IDF carried out major strikes on Yemeni ports in response to the Houthis’ continuing missile and drone attacks on Israel amid the genocide in Gaza.
Two members of the U.S. House of Representatives last week presented a bill that would provide the genocidal state of Israel with B-2 bombers and 30,000-pound bombs so Tel Aviv could more readily use the equipment if it felt threatened by Iran’s nuclear program.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to be seen as a leader on a major winning streak: he is carrying out a genocide in Gaza with the full support of the U.S.; he smashed Hezbollah in a conflict a few months ago after bombing out civilian targets across Lebanon; and he watched the fall of longtime nemesis Bashar al-Asad in Syria to only be replaced by a pro-Israel government for former Al Qaeda warlords.
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.
Israel, with the full support from the U.S. killed at least 56,500 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded another 133,419. There are at least 11,000 missing.
Iranians claimed victory over the U.S. and Israel in what has been presented within the country as Tehran’s ability to face down attacks from two of its top rivals and outlast them in a 12-day war that inflicted losses on both sides.
Israeli troops positioned at humanitarian aid distribution centers across Gaza were ordered to shoot into crowds to disperse them, despite these individuals posing no threat to the soldiers, IDF officials told Haaretz in an illuminating exposé.
Adm. James Kilby, a senior U.S. military official, appeared in front of a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing last week and said forces positioned to defend Israel from Iranian incoming during the 12-day war burned through an “alarming rate” of munitions—namely their Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) interceptors, which can cost up to $30 million each.
