And the same from the embassies of Russia, Germany and Argentina.

Edit to clarify:

China, Russia, Germany and Argentina, for whatever reason, have called on their citizens to leave Israel. Not Iran.

Here's a good example when the BS is getting real deep.

A senior Iranian official DENIES the Wall Street Journal’s claim that Iran wants to 'de-escalate' with Israel, according to Al Jazeera's Ali Hashem

Honestly Reuters, WaPo, WSJ, FT are not trust worthy.

White House: Israeli Channel 14 reports about US air raids on Tehran are false news


As you know, the war against the world is when American courts awarded "doesn't have to be true" to Fox. So, that's the standard. Mouth breathing drivel. You can tell who lives like this. This, however, may be a more accurate statistic:



Iranian air defense in Tabriz shot down another Israeli F-35 fighter jet.

This was the 4th Israeli F-35 fighter jet downed by Iran.



What American plane wats to be within 2,000 km? They don't. They don't want to go there. Everyone over there right now has perhaps just realized they wasted their entire life.

The fresh incoming wave at nightfall was planned to continue until dawn. That's just a comment. I don't know if anything really happened. It might be saber-rattling rhetoric.

Now is a good time for human traffickers to go to work in Cyprus. Be careful, it's pretty close to Turkey, and the Turks hate you. It's also near Greece, and the Greeks hate you. I don't know any Cypriots and presume it to be like Wimbledon applause.

I'm not very confident it will last more than a few days. On the Hitler comparison, you know, the German Armed Forces surrendered to the Allies, but the Nazi Command never surrendered. They tried to hole up in some last-ditch defense and you see what happened there. That scenario is possible by next week.

If this is relentless, it won't be drawn out like some inhumane torture session. It will just go.

If anyone knows something of substance that would realistically suggest how the entity could prolong itself, I'd be curious what that may be.


Another way of putting it:

“Warnings for you in the coming days: Leave the occupied territories, because, certainly, they won’t be inhabitable in the future!” Colonel Reza Sayyad, spokesperson for the Iranian Armed Forces, said on Sunday, shortly after the latest wave of Iranian strikes began against the Zionist entity.

He reminded the Israelis that the Iranian Armed Forces have repeatedly over the past days targeted sensitive sites in Israel and are in possession of an exhaustive bank of such targets, including military and security sites, decision-making centers, and the residences of Israeli commanders and military scientists.

“Therefore, we would like to emphasize: do not let the criminal regime use you as human shields,” Colonel Sayyad warned.

Description:

The DDD project has the ambition to become the first Youtube channel on military topics with strictly technical, no-nonsense analysis at a near professional level.

DDD takes a look at details enabled by Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), uncovering how public information can reveal interesting stories.

Shaberon, you're making a good point. What if the USA military stationed in the middle-east just stood down and refused to fight for Israel's benefit. Presumably, most of them know about the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty? And the trillions $$$ war that USA spent on Netanyahu's war against Iraq, which killed thousands of USA troops, all of which for Netanyahu's lie of 'weapons of mass destruction' that Iraq didn't have.

What if Netanyahu-Trump gave a war, and nobody came? USA gets to keep its taxpayers $$$ and spend it on much needed things at home. Most importantly, USA troops don't get blown to bits for the sake of Israel's criminal wars.

Edited to add: It's more than time to officially label Israel as a terrorist state. For the simple reason that they's committed numerous terrorist acts, in addition to genocide.

That's correct. It's a hardcore pro-Zionist channel that can't be relied on for ethical or accurate reporting.

This coming livestream, linked and embedded below, may be very valuable and interesting. The Duran (which chiefly means Alexander Mercouris) is hosting Brian Berletic. They've not spoken together on air for a long time. They are live in exactly 2 hours.

Some may know that Berletic, who is never anything other than calm and logical, has been highly critical of Trump's foreign policy stance for quite a while, and (I believe) has been accurately predicting the current extremely dangerous situation in the Middle East.

Mercouris has been far more cautious in his appraisal of Trump, but has recently changed his tune. In his 15 June video update on his own channel, two days ago, he said: (at 43:13)

In my opinion, and I speak with a knowledge of history behind me, it is far far better to be dealing with a wicked scoundrel than a fool. I'm afraid to me at the moment Donald Trump looks like a fool.

For Mercouris, this is an extremely strong statement. I've never heard him say anything like that so clearly. What I expect (and hope!) to hear in this coming discussion is a highly intelligent, calm and balanced exchange of analyses of every agreed fact.

From Armchair Warlord on X:

---

Most of the time posting on this website is a hobby for me - one that frankly brings me a lot of stress and grief and isn't worth the pennies Elon throws my way from revenue-sharing.

Tonight, however, I feel that it is a duty. Perhaps I can put my audience to some good use.⬇️

Rumors are currently circulating that Trump is about to authorize United States forces to join in the Israeli campaign against Iran. Given that the war is not necessarily going well for Israel, their leadership and influence organs have been feverishly lobbying for this step for several days now. Trump may have already participated in the Israeli pre-attack preparation scheme by engaging in bad-faith negotiations with the Iranians over their nuclear program, intended to lull them into a false sense of security. He's certainly claimed as much since the war started, although Trump claims a lot of things.

This is simply unacceptable. Let us review:

1. This war is an act of pure aggression on the part of Israel. Iran did not attack them first and had made no move to do so. This is undisputed. There is no question that they were even theoretically acting preemptively to deal with some emergent danger to their national security - Iran was in the middle of negotiations over their nuclear program when Israel struck and their first target was that negotiation team.

2. Israeli claims about the clear and present danger of Iranian nuclear weapons are patently ridiculous. According to Benjamin Netanyahu himself, Iran has been six weeks from nuclear breakout since the 1990s. As near as anyone can tell, they have not broken out - they seem to take Khamenei's fatwa about the matter seriously. Perhaps they conducted a covert nuclear test last year - I suggested as much at the time - but if they do presently possess nuclear warheads their threshold for deployment is manifestly high and possibly higher than Israel's. Contrary to a generation of Israeli lies, Iran is not a civilizational suicide bomber bent on building a nuke to fire at Tel Aviv at the first opportunity. Far from it. Certainly they don't like Israeli (and that's putting it mildly), or the US for that matter, but their preparations for war seem like manifestly reasonable precautions at the moment.

3. Israeli claims about the danger of nuclear weapons in the hands of Muslims with a civilizational grudge against them are doubly ridiculous. Pakistan has nuclear arms. According to Marjorie Taylor-Greene, a congresswoman with access to the relevant information who leaked it earlier this year, Saudi Arabia has nuclear arms - perhaps purchased from Pakistan. Tel Aviv remains un-nuked.

4. Israeli complaints about nuclear non-proliferation are insanely hypocritical. Unlike Iran, Israel has not acceded to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It has refused to do this because it has built up a covert arsenal of hundreds of nuclear weapons that would be a violation of said treaty. If nuclear nonproliferation is part of the ius cogens of international law then the biggest offenders against that normative standard sit in Jerusalem.

5. On a matter of pure self-interest, Iran has the capability to strike US forces in the Middle East (particularly in the Persian Gulf region), and to strike extremely hard. Stating otherwise is cope. They have the capability to close the Strait of Hormuz for an indefinite period of time, which will spike global oil prices. Stating otherwise is cope. The prospect of hundreds of American deaths and a destabilized global economy is not one I would wish for.

6. As near as I can tell, this war is simply Benjamin Netanyahu's latest desperate move to keep himself in power and out of the courts, for which he is wanted to answer for well-substantiated charges of corruption against himself and his immediate family. He has a long pattern of military aggression to bolster his domestic political position in Israel, which this act fits neatly within.

7. Finally, literally nobody in America voted for this. Trump entered office pledging to continue the relatively cautious foreign policy of his first term. He pledged to end the war in Ukraine and bring peace to the Middle East - in contrast to the Biden Administration's reckless policy of writing blank checks to local proxies to do as they wished. And now we're seriously looking at going to war, with American troops in the line of fire, in the service of this horrid cause.

If Netanyahu wants to throw himself into the abyss, let him. This is not our war. The only moves the Trump Administration should be contemplating at this moment are those that will lead to a ceasefire and a stabilization of the situation as soon as possible.

Let us work towards peace for once.

And linked from the above Armchair Warlord thread on X, this from Greg Maybury who has linked to his Substack article as well scribed in 2021. Below, his extract from that article:

---

Given the events unfolding in the Greater Middle East, it's been impossible not to notice the increasing desperation of Israel and its assorted hasbara hacks, flacks n' lackeys in holding back the rising tide of negative public opinion against the country.

Indeed, one can almost smell the fear, that being: more and more people are awakening to the singular reality that the hitherto unassailable mythos surrounding the Jewish State and its denizens is crumbling faster than the Twin Towers on 9/11.

That it all may be now unstoppable is in fact their deepest fear.

With that in mind, I'm reposting my series on Zionism (see first instalment below👀👇; more to come). These articles might be of particular interest to those only now experiencing such an awakening. With Israel doing everything it can to ignite World War3️⃣, there's never been a better time for us all to gain a deeper insight into answering that perennial question:

How Did We Get Here?

A large part of that "mythos' is bedrocked on the illusion that all the bloodshed, chaos, carnage, mayhem, conflict, and general instability etc., that has characterised the Middle East **** Show™️ during the past eight decades or so has nothing at all to do with the European Jews illegally setting up shop there on stolen Palestinian land back in 1948.

After ethnically cleansing, genociding and generally terrorising the locals, we've all been expected to imbibe the myth that for their part, the otherwise forever peace loving Chosen Ones have all since then been passive, innocent bystanders, surrounded on all sides by hostile, hateful, irrational Amalekite forces just waiting to smoke their collective tusches into Old Testament oblivion at the drop of a yarmulke just for the sheer hell of it.

Yet they now know their long time and thus far extremely successful strategy for controlling the narrative in its/their favour has now lost a good deal of its flavour. Relentless war crimes, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, support for terrorism, and blatant genocide and more will do that. As will wanting to have one’s bagel and chow down on it at the same time, another propensity for which the self appointed Chosenites are well known. 'You can fool some of the people...' You know how it goes.

And let’s not forget the interminable antisemitic “kvetch”—their fallback ‘one-size-fits-all-purpose’ position whenever the generally gullible goyim wise up to the reality that “God’s Chosen” may not always pass muster as the folks Hungarian author Louis Marschalko referred to as [the] ‘insulted innocents, the victims of intolerance, [and the] martyrs of world history’.

The irony of course is as profound as it gets, though that irony seems to escape both the vast majority of Israeli citizens and of global (Diaspora) Jewry, along with those non-Jews who are ardent apologists for, and supporters of, the Jewish junta in “invented Israel”.

Of the latter cohort, as noted: You can smell the fear.

Trump's use of the words 'better than a ceasefire' and 'a real end' could mean the US is about to step in.
