According to Pentagon spokesman Maj. Adrian Rankine-Galloway, the US military has begun a review o the “full breadth” of their activities in the Middle East, including troop positioning and cooperation, looking for ways to target Iran.
The comments came after President Trump’s Iran speech, in which he laid out a much more confrontational approach toward the country, and Pentagon officials couched their position as one of supporting the president’s plans.
Maj. Rankine-Galloway said the focus would be on neutralizing Iran’s influence across the region, “particularly its support for terrorist groups and militants.” This suggests the Pentagon looking to pick more fights against Shi’ite forces in Syria.
Expectations to find ways to confront Iran over the nuclear deal or over foreign policy differences are going to be difficult, because Iran is complying with the nuclear deal, and its foreign intervention is focused on fighting ISIS. Still, decades of hostility means the Pentagon has a lot of experience in trying to pick fights with Iran, and will doubtless find some pretext for something.
And now it begins. Sure the Iran deal probably will stick but the rhetoric will be complete confrontational now that the moron has let the dogs loose.
Read the article, because Ditz has a way of exaggerating. Pressuring Iran is nothing new. The U.S. is not seeking war against Iran proper. What they want to do is choke the arms feed to Helzbollah and other groups operating afield, not internally.
The nuke deal was muffling the war crowd. The US would love war with Iran proper and the nuke deal is an impediment. And we pay good money to destabilize Iran internally. Ditz isn’t exaggerating.
So that is all right then. International agreements do not matter to the USA.
wrong,israel wants iran destroyed. paranoia is spreading.
People who criticise Trumpenstein’s noble decision to start a war with Iran don’t realise that the Goyim were just put on earth as dumb muscle to serve the needs of the Talmudic Master Race. In the words of the immortal Ovadia Yosef, Chief Rabbi of Israel:-
“Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world – only to serve the People of Israel. Imagine that one’s donkey would die, they’d lose their money. This is his servant……That’s why he gets a long life, to work well for this Jew……Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plough, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat.”
Dangerous talk from piss ant postage stamp size place… More talk like that is needed to wake the host from its slumber.. The master race is a dangerous fantasy… AKIN to the mouse thinking it can sleep with the elephants… One bad dream in the night will flatten the hubris deluded creature….
Seeing ones unveiled supporting allies as dumb animals is uncheritible and graceless. What type of people think such rubbish. Ones who have destroyed their own home with treacherous decepions… Better live & let live in equitable harmony…. “Can’t we all just get along… ?????”
One would almost suspect Israel just cannot stand it, that another small nation would have been even more clever, more shrewd in manipulating the geopolitical stage to their advantage. Just look how Iran turned the tables with the “get Saddam” project. Initially played (as bluff) by the Israeli Right through the neoconservatives. Now with Syria, Iran managed to divide & conquer with the aid of the Russian “Iron War Chest”, creating a perfect supply line for Hezbollah. And with a firm Russian security umbrella to boot (for the essentials at least). This in turn will raise the pressure inside the political landscape within Israel. Perhaps working with the Russians would be strategically more interesting for Israel than with the increasingly discredited and unpopular American foreign policy? Should Israel pull back from this wild card Trump? But it will mean potentially the end of the political right in Israel: “regime change” after all.
To pretend that Russia is implicated in the farcical US elections of last year, while pretending that Israel does not run the “”policies” of the “Trump Administration” (as it has in most previous administrations in living memory) would be laughable if it were not so serious. Vladimir Putin seems able to work with almost any other country with diplomacy, cooperation, even courtesy, while the US supports its alleged enemy IS/Daesh in Syria and Afghanistan to ensure peace is never achievable.
gee,trying to start more war! isn’t the bottomless afghanistan swamp enough with a topping of syria and venezuela etc/ send all the top military .,congress and senate with frump and pence leading the way. lets gather round the tv and watch the games begin.
