Guardian: Reports in its 6.53pm post the following, " Iran warns 'imminent' response coming to Israeli strike on Beirut "
Let's Get Real:
If Iran does attack Israel they have the right to hit back hard. In the Middle East it always has been an eye for eye, it a violent area, and Israel will have to warn Iran off. Tehran might grow up and not take action. This would please Trump on his birthday. Then the US - Iran can come in to force.
BBC News: Reports in its 3.54pm post the following, " Let's not blow it': Trump says Israeli attack on Beirut 'should not have happened' "
Let's Get Real:
One does wonder if Trump is going to phone Israel to complain, and will Jerusalem take any notice. Israel is not the 51st State, the Israeli PM should not take orders from the Oval. There are elections in Israel and the US, in the US the Trump Oval could lose the House of Representatives to the Democrats, while the Israeli PM could lose his job. All politics is local.
BBC News: Reports in its 8.41pm post the following, " IDF says it has intercepted all missiles launched from Iran "
Let's Get Real:
Will the Trump Oval allow Israel to hit back, or will they ask for Israel not to react. There will be calls in Israel for them to hit Iran. The question is can Trump stop them, does he want too. Interesting hours and days ahead.
Guardian: Reports in its 6.02pm post the following, " Iran's top negotiator threatens US bases and assets in the region "
Let's Get Real:
Thus the conquences of giving a conditional blank cheque to ISRAEL. This blog supports Israel 100%, but US and Israel agenda might differ. In the eyes of Israel the Hezbollah terror group is an arm of Iran and has to be destroyed, its either the survival of Israel or Hezbollah, a terrorist group. The US just wants out of the Iran War it started, its all about inflation and the price of gas. Trump must follow through and take out the Tehran Regime.
Sky News: Reports in its 1.20pm post the following, " Israel strikes Beirut's Dahiyeh suburb "
Let's Get Real:
This could torpedo the US - Iran talks, Tehran has made it clear that the ceasefire should cover Lebanon and the terrorist group Hezbollah. The Israeli people, especially those living in Northen Israel want the rockets fired by Hezbollah in Lebanon to STOP. Thus Jerusalem is under political pressure to take a firm stand, no matter what Trump wants. This blog gave a warning about a blank cheque to Israel.
Fox News: Reports the following, " Iran war ‘will end only when it ends in Lebanon as well,’ foreign minister says "
Let's Get Real:
The Tehran Regime is playing Trump, they can see the War is not popular with the American people and the Democrats are playing games with the War Powers Act, Trump wants out but cannot control Israel, conditional blank cheques are still blank, in less enforce your will, Reagan did when Israel was bombing Beirut in the 1980s. Trump can not afford to lose the Israeli lobby is the US before the Mid Terms. DEADLOCK in the Middle East.
BBC News: Reports the following, " Israel and Lebanon have agreed to renew their fragile ceasefire "
Let's Get Real:
The ceasefire will only hold if Hezbollah does not fire in to Northen Israel. Hezbollah has stated it will only cease the war when Israel leaves Lebanon. This is not going to happen, the people of Northen Israel are tired of being bombed, thus the Jerusalem Government facing elections will keep troops in Lebanon and will strike close to Beirut if it feels the need. The Trump Oval cannot be seen as appeasing Iran and their ally Hezbollah, no matter how much Trump wants a deal to end the US - Iran WAR.
Guardian: Reports in 8.19am post the following, " Conflict in Lebanon continues despite Trump hailing Israeli-Hezbollah de-escalation "
Let's Get Real:
If Trump knew his ceasefire deal with Israel and Hezbollah was a hail Mary pass at best. If Hezbollah attack Northen Israel from Beirut then Israel will attack back. On the other hand it gives POTUS time to get a deal with Iran, also a hail Mary pass. The hardliners in Tehran know now that Trump can rolled after they linked their peace to Lebanon.
Fox News: Reports the following, " Netanyahu threatens strikes in Beirut if Hezbollah fails to halt attacks "
Let's Get Real:
POTUS made the call to Israel not to attack Beirut in Lebanon, a concession to the Hawks in Iran. The Israeli PM has agreed to the Trump Oval request only as long as Hezbollah does not attack Northen Israel. The problem is that Trump's words often do not match reality. There is a suppose ceasefire already between Israel and Hezbollah already, it has not worked since the start. This when lack of Presidential Credibility is a worry, does Trump's words have any power, is any one afraid of Trump NOW? Israel has been thrown under the bus, but they will act if Hezbollah fires more Drones at Northen Israel. This story is never over, it has not been in decades.
Sky News reports that Hezbollah has confirmed a top commander, Ibrahim Aqil has been killed by Israel.
Lets Get Real:
This terrorist was high on America's most wanted list for Killing American Armed Marines and Soldiers in the 1980s. It seems that Israel has decided to finish off Hezbollah NOW, while the US having its election, Trump is now defending Israel, going for the Jewish vote. The Biden Oval wants a ceasefire over Gaza, Biden is legacy hunting, thus VP has to follow his line.
