Forced to Wait for Trump, Israel Faces Strategic Dilemma in Iran
(Oh no. You mean Glorious Israel has to fight their own wars of aggression without our blood and money? Say it isn't so!)
(He's just waiting for a good False Flag event he can use to galvanize the American public behind this shit. That's all. Give em time.)
from the NYT
President Trump’s decision to defer an American attack on Iran has left Israel in a strategic bind.
Israel’s main remaining war goal is to wipe out a nuclear enrichment site at Fordo in northern Iran, which is buried so deep underground that Israeli bombs will struggle to damage it.
For days, Israeli officials hoped that Mr. Trump would send American warplanes armed with the only munitions in the world that are deemed powerful enough to destroy Fordo.
Now, Mr. Trump says he will wait up to two weeks before deciding whether to make such an intervention — a delay that imposes a dilemma on Israel...

Mass anti-Israel protests in Iran’s Tehran as attacks continue
(Operation Rising Lion (read as: Cowardly Lion) refers to the lion on the imperial flag of Iran which existed under the Shah whom we installed in '53 on behalf of a British oil company. According to hasbara media, they would have you believe most of the Iranian people want regime change and want the son of the previous dictator back in power. Clearly this is bullshit. If anything this illegal aggression is uniting the population in Iran more than they have been united since the 10 year Iran/Iraq war.)
This is Operation Rising Lion (though they will lie about the meaning). Notice the sun rising behind the lion? Get it? Rising Lion?
That's the flag of Pahlavi Iran, as in Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran. This guy:
That's what Israel and the U.S. want to bring back to Iran. 'Democracy'?
from al Jazeera
- Israel and Iran continue to exchange missile attacks for an eighth day, as hundreds of thousands protest against Israel on the streets of Tehran.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is scheduled to meet counterparts from France, Germany and the United Kingdom in Geneva for talks on Iran’s nuclear programme and ending Israel’s attacks.
- The White House says, due to “chance of negotiation”, President Donald Trump will decide in the next two weeks whether the US will join Israel in attack in Iran.
- Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Naim Qassem says the threatened assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is an “aggression” against all the people of the region.

Nazi symbols prevalent in Ukrainian military – Le Monde
(Gives you a bit of insight when you think of all our congress critters who wear Ukrainian flags on their lapels now doesn't it?)
from RT
Ukrainian soldiers continue to publicly display neo-Nazi symbols – including swastikas, SS tattoos, and Nazi salutes – according to an investigation by French outlet Le Monde.
In its report, published on Wednesday, Le Monde identified nearly 350 Ukrainian troops posting neo-Nazi imagery online, including Nazi salutes, swastika tattoos, Black Sun emblems, and Totenkopf insignias. According to the research, at least 200 of those identified serve in Kiev’s 3rd Assault Brigade.
Russia has repeatedly accused Kiev of fostering neo-Nazi ideology and glorifying WW2-era Hitler collaborators and has demanded the “denazification” of Ukraine as part of a negotiated peace agreement.
Formed in 2023, the 3rd Assault Brigade is a direct successor of the Azov Regiment – originally created in 2014 by far-right figure, Andrei Biletsky. Azov has been accused by multiple human rights groups, as well as the UN, of war crimes and torture and has been widely criticized for its use of symbols tied to the Waffen-SS.
According to Le Monde, the 3rd Assault Brigade has received military training from several NATO countries, including France, Spain, Germany, the UK and Canada, who have also poured in billions in military support to Ukraine. The paper noted that some soldiers sent to France in 2023 bore visible SS tattoos. When questioned, the French Ministry of the Armed Forces stated that it was the responsibility of Ukraine to vet the personnel...

PKK/YPG forcefully recruited 286 children in Syria last year: UN
(Yes, the Glorious Kurds, our heroes in the region (read as: our proxy army), abducting children to be weapons of war against their will. Boy can we pick em huh?)
from Daily Sabah
The PKK terrorist group’s Syrian wing, the YPG, forcefully recruited 286 children in Syria last year, a U.N. report said.
Anadolu Agency (AA) compiled the records of terrorist organizations in Syria and Iraq regarding children from the "Children and Armed Conflict" report of U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres, which includes data for 2024.
The 40-page report said that 527 children were recruited into armed cadres by various groups, primarily the PKK/YPG, which uses the name "SDF," and its affiliates, as well as Daesh.
The report noted that the U.N. confirmed that a total of 286 children were forcibly recruited into armed cadres and used in Syria by the PKK/YPG and its affiliates alone.
The PKK/YPG and other organizations were held responsible for the deaths or disabilities of 110 children and the forced abduction of 10 children in 2024, and it was stated that the terrorists used 23 schools and hospitals for their armed activities.
It was stated that as of the end of 2024, approximately 1,000 children, including foreigners, had their freedoms restricted due to their ties to armed groups, especially Daesh...

The Turkish public asks: After Israel's attack on Iran, are we next?
from Middle East Eye
A day before Israel attacked Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at the Knesset, welcoming Argentinian President Javier Milei with open arms.
"Argentina became a safe haven for thousands of Jews," Netanyahu told the Israeli parliament.
"They sought refuge from economic hardship and antisemitic persecution. Not only in Eastern Europe, but also in the Ottoman Empire.
"An empire that I don't think will be renewed anytime soon, even though there are those who disagree with me."
The remarks, which were clearly directed at Turkey and its long-serving President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, were not lost on officials in Ankara.
A burgeoning regional power, Turkey has played an outsized role in the Middle East since the so-called Arab Spring uprisings of the 2010s.
Amid the new power dynamic that has taken shape in the region, Ankara has seen its stock increase in major western capitals.
Such has been its rise that on Thursday, Turkey was among a small group of US allies notified in advance that Israel would be launching its attack on Iran...

No return to diplomacy amid aggression against Iran in which US is complicit: FM
(Trump has delayed his decision on striking Iran for two weeks. Meanwhile Iran says they will not negotiate while the U.S. continues to assist Israel in their attacks. Tel Aviv is getting hit hard.)
from PressTV
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has ruled out diplomatic negotiations as long as the wanton aggression against the Islamic Republic continues, holding the United States complicit in it.
Speaking ahead of his visit to Geneva where he is scheduled to hold talks with his European counterparts on the Israeli aggression, Araghchi said Tehran has explicitly stated that as long as the aggression does not stop, the talk of dialogue is meaningless.
He informed that some countries have reached out to Iran in recent days and urged de-escalation and return to diplomacy.
“I respond by saying that we were in the middle of diplomacy, so what are we supposed to return to? Or the attack by the Zionist regime on nuclear facilities; no one can explain why the Westerners do not allow this aggression to be condemned,” he remarked.
“They themselves cannot explain it and only evade the question, and there is an unjustifiable support (for it),” he said, referring specifically to attack on Iran’s nuclear sites.
The top Iranian diplomat said Tehran considers Washington an accomplice of the Israeli regime in its aggression against Iran, in a reference to statements made by US President Donald Trump in support of the regime and threats against top Iranian officials.
“We have nothing to talk with the United States as a partner in this crime,” he asserted...

Sorry folks. Thunderstorm still going on outside and my power always goes off during them. Don't want to risk the laptop or the ROG since I don't have a surge protector or battery back-up. Will try later.
Have a good one.
Netanyahu ‘has surpassed Hitler’ – Erdogan
from RT
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has condemned Israel’s aggression in Gaza and ongoing attacks on Iran, comparing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler.
Israel began bombing Iran on Friday, claiming Tehran is nearing the completion of a nuclear bomb. Iran dismissed the accusations. The Turkish president said it has the legal right to respond to Israel’s attacks. This is not the first time Erdogan has issued hostile remarks toward West Jerusalem, accusing it of engaging in “banditry and state terrorism.”
Speaking to members of his ruling AK Party in Parliament on Wednesday, Erdogan stated: “The most horrifying photos and videos from World War II pale in comparison to what we’re seeing from Gaza,” claiming that Netanyahu has “long surpassed the tyrant Hitler in the crime of genocide.”
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar shot back at Erdogan. “The sultan, in his own eyes, in yet another inflammatory speech, continues to incite against Israel and against the Israeli prime minister,” he wrote on X...
