Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Friday that he told US officials during a visit to Washington that Iran is the “biggest threat” to global peace.
Gantz met with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday. At the Israeli American Council’s national summit in Florida on Friday, Gantz said he used “every occasion” during the meetings to say, “Iran is first and foremost the biggest threat to global and regional peace and stability, and only then is it a threat to Israel.”
Gantz said it’s not up to Israel to deal with Iran alone and that the world should take action. “The international community, with US leadership, must stand together and act forcefully against Iran’s hegemonic aspirations and nuclear program and restore stability for the sake of global peace,” he said.
The fact that Gantz claims Iran has hegemonic aspirations and is a threat to the world exposes the absurdity of the Israeli rhetoric against Iran. Regardless, the US has been coordinating very closely with Israel on Iran amid negotiations to revive the nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA.
At the same summit, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan claimed the Biden administration agrees with Israel’s view that the JCPOA would not stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. But CIA Director William Burns recently contradicted Israeli claims that Iran is seeking a bomb and said that the US has no evidence Tehran has decided to weaponize its civilian nuclear program.
During his visit with Austin on Thursday, Gantz called for “joint military readiness” between the US and Israel against Iran. Austin said the US was prepared to “turn to other options” if talks to revive the JCPOA failed. Also on Thursday, the White House said President Biden ordered his administrations to prepare “other options” in case the JCPOA isn’t revived.
Americans should reconcile to the reality that their youngsters are going to be sent again to fight and die for Zionists. America can not be redeemed from its bondage to the Zionists. My sympathies won’t help or change the reality, still extend them
The problem is the Jihadists.
The problem is the Settlers.
No. It is Zionism
US transfers of arms and capital to Israel allows the domination of the poorest people in the Middle East and the oppression of Palestinians.
Squatters, you mean, John.
Your own community is badly infested with hate.
You do mean the settlers. Right? And their backup, the IDF. Right?
So you are jake sullivan, the USA’s saviour from outside enemies?????
There were no Jihadists before the creation of the illegitimate entity called Israel in the narrow corridors of UN by intrigues,conspiracies and black mailings. You know the real problem and also I think you are part of the problem
There were no Jihadists until the US security state manufactured the Mujaheddin.
Please read a history book because your hatred is blinding you. The modern Jihadist movement has nothing to do with Israel or Zionism. It grew primarily in opposition to Arab rule, the Shiite-Sunni conflict, and the foreign interference in Afghanistan
You are nitpicking. I am fully aware of Jihadism
Wahabism etc.The modern day manifestation of what you call Islamic terrorism is the direct result of Zionist terrorism. that is what i meant
The problem is the ruthless will to live that the few who survived the Nazi death camps brought to Israel and used to develop a religious/ethnic nationalism rivaling their oppressors. These survivors who collaborated with the Nazis in order to live have brought their perverse determination to live regardless of what horrors they have to perform which now characterizes Israeli national security policy.
Those “youngsters” are turning into jelly, start looking elsewhere. 🙂
Meanwhile, in the subcontinent,men burn their wives alive with kerosene.
Gantz along with the entire Israeli government should be hogtied and thrown into a starving lions den. There is no daylight between them and any terrorist group. These people give new meaning to being utterly worthless. Long live Iran, and may it eventually thrive without constant US interference.
That’ll never happen , since 1953 the US want to control Iran and its resources
Hezboallah stinks.
Jake, as a USA citizen I think I want our Ghouls in DC to mind their own bizzness and get out of the mess they have created in the M.E. then let you all kill one another if that is what U want.
So the oppressive, murderous Iranian leaders are somehow just and good.
Tell that to he Bahai who have been disappeared, the US Gi’s killed or maimed by Iran made IEDS, the Iranian journalists who have been imprisoned and tortured,the Iranian dissidents living abroad who have beenmurdered,or the childre nbutchered by Iranian agents at a Jewsih cultural center in Argentina.
Israel’s Gantz Says He Told US Officials Iran Is ‘Biggest Threat’ to Global Peace
This guy is an even better comedian than Zelensky!
israel and Amerika are the biggest threat to world peace
Well said Jo6pac, well said.
So Russia’s 100 Megaton cruise drone torpedo,designed to kill millions along the East or west coast, is a tool of peace.
What “100 Megaton cruise torpedo”?
Meanwhile, answer me this, what is the only country ever to have dropped nuclear weapons in war?
SATAN-6
Considering that the largest nuclear weapon ever tested, the Tsar Bomba, yielded around 50-58 megatons, we’re going to need a bit more than that.
1. There is no Russian torpedo with NATO designation SATAN, there is the R-36 intercontinental missile which bears that name.
2. To date there is no warhead with a strength of 100 Megatons, the largest warhead to date is the 58 Megaton ‘Tsar Bomba’, which was a freefall bomb.
go wiki SATAN-6,-but of course anything you dont like cannot be.
Please provide the link to the Wiki, because the wikipedia I have access to doest have any information of your SATAN-6.
“The page “SATAN-6″ does not exist. You can ask for it to be created, but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=SATAN-6&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&ns0=1
Could it be that you are mistaken?
could it be that you are just lazy!
Yeah sure.
“Israel has been building nuclear weapons for 30 years. The Jews
understand what passive and powerless acceptance of doom has meant for
them in the past, and they have ensured against it. Masada was not an
example to follow–it hurt the Romans not a whit, but Sampson in Gaza?
With an H-bomb? What would serve the Jew-hating world better in
repayment for thousands of years of massacres but a Nuclear Winter. Or
invite all those tut-tutting European statesmen and peace activists to
join us in the ovens?For the first time in history, a people
facing extermination while the world either cackles or looks
away–unlike the Armenians, Tibetans, World War II European Jews or
Rwandans–have the power to destroy the world.”

It is time that Israel be defunded and tax free charities and Non-profits in the USA sending funds to Israel be decertified.
What private US citizens do with their own funds is their own business and a matter of personal liberty.
jake, since when?
If you believe in a reasonable level of personal liberty,it is.
jake, I believe in TOTAL liberty, but that is not what we have now, ask the pukes Ben and Jerry…..
PAY YOUR TAXES!
Remember the USS Liberty!!
Yes,unfortunate souls sacrificed by the Judaophobic filth.
Israel murdered these USA service members and sailors, in cold blood. I haven’t forgotten.
Jew haters used these poor souls to spy on a nation fighting for its survival, to win points for their Arab oil masters. Take it and like it.
Jake, U and your cohorts shudder in fear whenever I mention the Israel treachery as well as LBJ’s treachery in not sending help. You really want to put this display of RATISM to sleep,,I won’t let U!! 🙂
Not when they are claiming tax credits.
tax deductiosn,not credits.
So you would support the freedom of the American People to support foreign Armed Organisations with private donations?
If a person sent funds to support Taiwan,would that be OK?
If the premise is that a private individual has the right to support any armed group financially, then yes. But are you sure you want to go there, since there are a lot of foreign armed organisations, which include Al Quaeda, ISIS and a mirad of others. If you are serious in your stance I can respect that, even though I disagree with it.
Israel is a free nation.Al quaeda and Isis are a uinch of death loving killers.
So then you are not for private US citizens to have the personal liberty to be able do with their own funds what they like? Either it is a matter of personal Liberty or not.
What you are basically saying is that you have the freedom to support armed groups as long as you deem them to be okay.
What is he going to say next? That Iran is the biggest threat to our solar system?? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
iran will eventually build a death-star if they are not destroyed
Iran’s contributions to the defense of vulnerable Shiite populations in Lebanon and other Middle Eastern states is a threat to capitalist domination of region. Controlling strategic lines of communication in order to bring all nonaligned nations under the control of Western capital has always been the strategy of the US hegemon since the introduction of the Truman Doctrine.
Iran’s support of minority Shiite rule in Syria has contributed greatly to the murder of 400,000 Syrian civilians. Iran’s rule of Lebanon by its proxy Hezbollah has turned it into a wasteland…so give me a break
Your imagination is mighty!
You are right. I apologize. It’s more like 600,000 dead Syrians. Assad could not have survived without Iran.
https://www.syriahr.com/en/217360/
Good source. NOT! Same ones accusing Assad of gassing his own people while inspectors were arriving in country and the war was turning in Assad’s favor. Because Assad is just that stupid.
Assad is a butcher. The fact that you are providing him with a semblance of support says something about you
So the people elected a butcher? It is their democratic choice. The USA always elects criminals. It also tries to make other nations follow its rules.
More than 1/2 of the Syrian population are now displaced or refugees and 1/2 million are dead. Do you honestly believe that this was an honest election in support of Assad?
They’re all Turds. Assad and Putin are corrupt, will kill off opponents within their own countries. The US on the other hand fund and support Al Qaeda rebels in Syria and sell billions of dollars of arms to the very nation it accuses of being behind 9/11, SAUDI ARABIA.
Thus all are Ghouls and deserved to be purged!
Yes.
Sure I do. Who would have taken over if he was deposed? The Syrians voted for the devil they know. Not for ISIS to take over.
You believe 95% voted for a Assad?
The only thing I’m supporting is truth. Your source is a joke. Assad is neither the butcher you claim, or the saint others claim. But you’re like all the other hasbara like trolls. When in doubt just claim that the other person is an apologist for whoever Israel wants destroyed.
You are either an apologist or a fool. Assad is a mass murderer. His father Hafez and his uncle Rifaat were as well. I find your claim that he “is neither the butcher…or the saint” to be revealing. Did you feel the same way about Sadaam Hussein?
I believe neither side’s propaganda. The only thing revealing about that is that you are the one who is the fool. The US has killed 20 million since ww2 without declaring war on anybody. Assad and Saddam are pissants in comparison even if they are what you say they are.
Preach it!! 🙂
Sadaam was none of my nations Bizzness, smoke that bud!
The truth as YOU see it.
As compared to the grossly misnamed Syrian Observatory for Human Rights? Yes.
You are correct Odele. What it says is that wars r us is fairminded, and not sucked in by the lies always employed by the looters and occupiers.
A lot going on in this story. Notice how the U.S is looting Syria’s oil, illegally occupying it’s territory. Did you suppose they were there to help the people of Syria? Even if true, the invaders came to help, their actions have wrecked the place, not improved it.
Odele, HEY, back off,,that is my Bro’ you are picking on!! 🙁
Who would you put in his place? electors have voted for him several times. The USA and other uninvited guests have destroyed Syria and refuse to help rebuild.
Is that a joke? He won the last election by over 95% of the vote. Assad himself (with Russian and Iranian help) has destroyed the country in his efforts to hold on to power
Hold onto power or prevent foreign mercenarie’s from dismembering and looting their homeland like we saw happen in Libya, Iraq & Afghanistan.
Why is that the choice? How about having a free election?
And by free election you mean when the person the US wants installed “wins”.
Sounds like Abe Lincoln did the same…….killed over 700,000..hmm..
Assad is the LEGITIMATE ruler of Syria, whether you fucking like it or not.
Whatever you say Gypsy. Perhaps you should move to that beacon of democracy. I’m sure he’ll reward you
Did I say he was Mr. Rogers? No, I did not.
Please learn to read FACTS without making assumptions.
Check the word “legitimate” in the dictionary, and then read this:
https://foreignpolicy.com/2012/02/13/the-dictators-dilemma-to-win-with-95-percent-or-99/
I believe my “assumptions” about you are “legitimate”
And I suppose Maduro isn’t the LEGITIMATE LEADER of Venezuela, either.
Just because, you know, he doesn’t fit into Amerikkka’s “plans”, much like Assad.
BTW, if not Assad , then just who IS the legitimate leader of Syria?
I’m not aware of any dictators that hold legitimate elections. I don’t know who would win an honest election in Syria. All you need to do is admit that Assad winning an election by 95% of the vote is not legitimate. When you take a position that he is, you completely invalidate your comments
Okay. Let every one of the many dictators on this earth go ahead and relinquish their positions.
Who’s gonna initiate that…you??
What makes you think that there’s any such thing as a “LEGITIMATE LEADER” in the absence of unanimous consent to whatever project that “leader” is leading?
There’s no way for political government to produce legitimacy, which would require unanimous consent, on any significant scale.
Maduro is evil
If so, he’s the first “LEGITIMATE ruler” of anything in history.
Back in the US,lets abolish welfare for anyone.
During the wretched Iraq war,Iran flamed up sectarian violence among Iraq’s Moslim sects.
Whst a megalomanic personality. Is there any country in the world that ferls the same? None.
But zealots will push and push and push US to create chaos, as wothout it, the mess made in economies and finances would be obvious
A classic case of Projection.
Once again with the hyperbolic wild exaggerations. Anyone with an ounce of integrity would tell Gantz he is full of shit. But Blinken nods.
Blinken blinks, Gantz nods.
“Gantz met with Lloyd Austin and Antony Blinken on Thursday. ”
What fun that must have been!
Perhaps you might watch the Grayzone program from yesterday (I found it on “the Saker”while reading abou Ukraine too) where Aaron Maté interviews the educated, cultured, experienced Professor Mohammad Marandi from Teheran University and now at the “JCPOA talks” in Geneva about the impact and other aspects of US sanctions on the Iranian people over the last few years. To believe the Israeli hysteria and be led into more cruelty than already exerted will show how really low the USA has sunk.
Let us discuss the cruelties Iran inflicts on its own people.
Why? Does that make the sanctions “work” or make them NOT harmful to the average Iranian?
wars,,Iranian’s are not human, they are evil, smell, eat their children, worship the wrong god,,they deserve to suffer and die at the hands of Israel and the USA, right “jake”??
People everywhere suffer at the behest of their evil leaders.
True. But so many people also. suffer from other country’s evil leaders. Hence, sanctions, assassinations, sabotages, weekly bombings of a sovereign country, settlement expansion and so many other evils that the powerful inflict on the weak
you are obsessed.
With peace, yes. Just pointing out the impediments to said peace. You have problems with people “obsessed” with peace?
With Israel, right or wrong.
That would be a description of yourself.
Like knee capping children domonstrating for freedom???
O, wait, It’s Israel that shoots to maim the unarmed children..!!
People throw Molotov cocktails and attempt to invade, they get hurt.
Jake, U mean invade “THEIR” land….I would do the same MOFU! 🙁
The truth shall set you free. Israel is a free country that will protect itself.blame Hamas, that uses children as cannon fodder.
Yeah they tie them to the front of their police vehicles then ride into crowds of protesters.
No one is being tied to cars in Gaza,save victims of HAMAS.
Of course they don’t dummy, Israel steals all of Gaza’s petrol and bombs all the cars.
And where is this petrol supposed to be coming from? Do people sneak in the night and siphon gas? HA!
Even if true it takes some sick mothers to oblige.
Give your home away to some native american tribe!
Makes no sense. My comment was about the IDF obliging Hammas supposedly using children as “cannon fodder” by killing them. Try to keep up.
What is good for the gooseis good for the gander-nonone in the US will give up their homes,why should Israelis?
I didn’t say they should and my comment didn’t in any way suggest that. My comment was about the IDF’s brutality. You have a problem with remembering who you are arguing with.
So that makes what Israel has done OK??? USA “Indians” are full citizens with all rights and even special priveledge.
Most of the people living in Israel were driven out of their home by so clled Christian and Moslem Jew-haters, and have returned to the homes of their ancestors.
If you’re specifically referring to the Jews living in Israel, no, most of them were not driven out of their homes. 70% of them were born there.
If you’re specifically referring to the Jews living in Israel, no, most of them were not driven out of their homes. 70% of them were born there.
If you’re specifically referring to the Jews living in Israel, no, most of them were not driven out of their homes. 70% of them were born there.
OK-to be more precise-the descendants of.
Go there and tell it to them!
MOFU back at you
Along with people demonstrating peacefully. The IDF seemingly can’t distinguish between the two and “hurts” them too. Of course that’s about all the IDF has balls enough to confront.
More like click to acknowledge one’s disgust of this evil delusion of Gantz.”
I’m wondering, regarding Gantz’ comments, how Iran can be a global threat… but then it’s only a threat to Israel? Are to now accept the premise that Israel’s security represents the security of the entire world? If Iran is an existential threat to Israel, maybe it’s up to Tel Aviv to deal with it instead of waiting for the rest of the world, which knows better.
You’re wrong Gantz. It’s the US-Israeli axis that is responsible for the lack of world peace. What country is dropping bombs all over the world? What country is making unprovoked attacks on Syria? Who is constantly threatening Iran and other countries with nuclear attacks by saying “all options are on the table”?
UN Riesolution 181 remains the basis for a long term peace and success of the Jewish State.
Arabs rejected it,Arabs lost.No going back-go forward.
I guarantee that you would be singing a different tune, had the outcome not gone your way.
And that tune would be the Geneva Conventions.
The Arabs would have pushed their Jewish neighbors into the sea-they lost HA
Even if true, that’s beside the point. Your argument is basically “might is right” and that is only because you have the whip hand at the moment.
I know what it was like when yo and yours had the whip hand.
Actually, you don’t. But you’ve admitted that your argument is might is right.
Thank you for finally coming out and saying it.
So you then agree 181 is the best way to secure a lasting secure peace for the Jewish State . and it’s just the Arabs that are the problem.
Of course, they are! Poor little nuclear armed israel! And the best armaments they can be given.
It would be real interesting 2 have Gantz explain this absurd statement.
The way to “deal” with BDS is to treat neo-Nazi Israel with disdain and shun all those that support its crimes. Eventually this will force Israel to start obeying the law and return to its legally defined 1948 borders and stop killing Palestinians men women and children and thereby start acting less like a rogue criminal terrorist state that routinely commits war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and Apartheid in order to steal land and resources belonging to other countries.
The Arabs rejected the 1948 borders and attacked-they instigated a war-they lost.No freebee second chances.
European Jews lost WW II. Their survivors received a second chance.
Projecting much there, Gantz? The biggest threat to world peace are the Zionists, anywhere….
Our commenter Jake here seems to have a problem with Reality…
Those who could not hear the music thought that those who danced were insane.HA HA
And, apparently, a pretty high opinion of himself.
At least,I can conduct civil discourse. All you can do is sputter when people take an opposing view.
That’s what you call what you are doing? You constantly deflect and offer nothing more than platitudes.
You cannot abide with anyone who disgrees with you.If this were Iran you could burn the flesh of dissidents.
Sure I can. If they present facts to back up their claims instead of wild exaggerated propaganda.
And the IDF shoots double amputees and pretends they’re dissidents.
Gantz is standing in front of a mirror…!
usa #1 #1 #1 with its lil buddy in apartheid double standard occupied land sorta #2
