President Biden said Tuesday that he thinks Iran might not launch a retaliatory attack on Israel if a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal is reached.
When asked if Iran might scrap its plans to retaliate for the Israeli killing of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran if Israel and Hamas clinch a deal, Biden said, “That’s my expectation.” However, he also said it was “getting harder” to reach an agreement.
Qatar and Egypt are planning to host ceasefire talks this Thursday, although Hamas is calling for the implementation of a ceasefire proposal that President Biden unveiled back in May. Israeli officials also still believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s demands are an obstacle to any potential deal.
Earlier on Tuesday, Reuters reported that Iran might delay its planned retaliatory strike on Israel could be delayed to allow ceasefire talks to progress. But Iran also publicly rejected calls from the UK, Germany, and France to reconsider attacking Israel.
“Such demands are void of political logic, in complete contradiction to the principles and rules of international law, and excessive,” Iranian Foreign Minister Nasser Kan’ani said in response to the Western calls. “They are tantamount to public and practical support for the source of international crimes and terrorism in the region and encourage and reward the masterminds and perpetrators of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.”
Kan’ani added that Iran was “resolved to defend its national sovereignty and security, and help establish sustainable stability in the region and create deterrence against the genuine source of insecurity and terrorism in the region.”
A day earlier, the White House said it was prepared for Iran and potentially its allies to launch a “significant” attack on Israel. The US is vowing to defend Israel and has deployed additional assets to the Middle East solely for that purpose.
I am a life long peace activist and yet, and of course, I am grievously concerned about some of the choices our country does continue to make…
War or Peace? USA?… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …!
War is a feature not a bug.
A life long peace activist yet you rail against Ukraine
Railing against Ukraine is railing against the Biden regime, it provoked a preventable war. The deranged Biden regime, regardless who runs the circus, keeps butchering young men for a lost cause. It was a lost cause before the Biden thugs, starting with the Obama/Biden regime change, made Ukraine a de facto NATO member. The annihilation of the nation was the joker in the cards.
Looks like President Putin will outlive the failed old demented Biden.
Demented Biden botched the regime change and the break up of the RF.
FM Nasser Kan'Ani, civilization applauds.
Hard to say if this statement is pointing towards Iran or the crime minister…!
Maybe they could exact some payback in a like move inflicted on them, and then Israel will hold off on further attacks.
Who in their right mind still buys the Biden administration ruse?
He's ALIVE!!!! Well, sort of.
A way out for Iran. It allows Iran to claim they would have attacked but Iran did not want to hurt the chances for peace. The downside to an Iranian attack are huge and Iran knows it.
No way, tell the retards in Israel what the downside could look like for them, they can't get annihilation soon enough. There is no chance for peace as long as there is an Israel. Israel must go.
Biden has no gravitas or power; he was overthrown and hasn't been running anything for 2-3 years.
Robinette can still read what was written for him on the teleprompter
are you sure?
He can read it, but he has trouble with the gibberish coming out of his yapper.
True, but the core personality still exists in hubris, arrogance and stupidity. Before he sundowns, you know he is still all in.
Once a dick, always one. Here he is telling Scott Ritter war is above his pay grade. “That’s why they get the limos and you don’t”. And this is “working class” Joe:

No wonder he did not age well, age magnifies the ugliness of the old oaf.
The people who give can take it. They miscalculated and expected Biden would last at least one term, did not work out as expected. But, Harris is just as well, she knows what is expected.

Defense secretary orders guided missile submarine to Middle East
Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, Pentagon press secretary, revealed that Austin assured Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant that the U.S. would “take every possible step to defend Israel and noted the strengthening of U.S. military force posture and capabilities throughout the Middle East in light of escalating regional tensions.”

The real stupid people are the average working guy who sends Trump, a billionaire, money to pay his legal bills.
You don’t like Trump Timmy? I’m not surprised.
most accurate comment on this site
Whether he's actually a billionaire at any given time is open to question.
If he'd stuck the $400 million he inherited from Daddy in an indexed mutual fund, he certainly would be.
But real estate scams. while sometimes lucrative, aren't always so.
Wrong spot before:
Hamas wants a permanent cease fire. Not a Zionist vacation from genocide to start new aggression elsewhere for six weeks and then a return to genocide and apartheid.
There will be no delay in the Iranian attack except as required to plan it properly and in coordination with the rest of the Axis of Resistance.
Some people are hallucinating that the Russians are telling the Iranians not to kill civilians in Israel. Iran does not need any such admonitions. They know their targets should be and will be military and perhaps critical infrastructure. Hezbollah has not aimed at killing civilians so far and neither has Iran, nor will it.
Someone, I forget who, perhaps Ritter, suggested yesterday that the Russians delivering weapons, S-400s and ECM gear to Iran is a delaying tactic on its own. That makes no sense as it's likely that it will be Russian technicians setting it up and operating it. So the only delay will be the length of time to install it. Iran will not wait so long that its response is unconnected to the triggering incident of the Haniya assassination.
They also suggested that Russia has informed the US that any attack on those installations which results in the death of Russians will be considered an attack on Russia. I doubt that as well. The Russians are well aware of what motivates the US and Israel and no such threats will be successful in deterring the US response.
As I mentioned elsewhere, the Russians and Chinese are dithering about in a "diplomatic process" that is doomed to failure and will not prevent a wider war from occurring. The Chinese organized an agreement between Palestinian factions to act as one, Abbas is in Russia now being told he needs to step down so that works. But then Netanyahu assassinated Haniya, which the Chinese are taking as a slap in the face. Hopefully the Russians and Chinese will learn once and for all that, as the Iranian Foreign Minister said, Israel is "the source of international crimes and terrorism in the region."
“Some people are hallucinating that the Russians are telling the Iranians not to kill civilians in Israel.”
And you’re hallucinating that Iranian policy is whatever you happen to wish Iranian policy is at any given moment.
YeaH!!
Hack romanticizes war and glorifies conflict. His ideas about what goes on behind the scenes are pretty far fetched too.
Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis and the Iraqi resistance would stand down and celebrate if Hamas signed off on a permanent ceasefire. The Russians and Chinese would be happy too.
Actually the Israelis are the only once who want war in the region, believing the US and the Europeans will pay and bail them out. That is how insane they are.
As I've been saying for the last eighteen years, now recognized:
War in Inevitable – Alastair Crooke, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen
The stupidity of the man continues to amaze. Should a truce be negotiated, it would last until the hostage exchange was completed, and then the Israelis would return to slaughtering the remaining Gazan population until there are none left.
Sorry, but his latest lie don't fly. Brain damage?
PR. And some Americans want to believe.
Iran should join Turkey, and the the other nine countries, supporting South Africa's genocide case against Israel war in Gaza. (Al-Jazeera June 6, 2024)
For the first time Biden said something right about the Middle East.
Nasrallah repeatedly says that Hamas is negotiating on behalf of the entire Axis of Resistance. Nasrallah said that if Hamas signs off on a permanent ceasefire Hezbollah will immediately discontinue hostilities without any further negotiations, delays or conditions. Iran, the Houthis and the Iraqi resistance groups would likewise follow Hamas' lead.

The axis of resistance is based on ending the genocide and liberating Palestine, not going tit for tat with the Zionists. If the US forces Israel to accept the ceasefire on the terms Hamas has already agreed to without changes, then Israel will dodge the bullet this time. The US has the power to force Israel to end this war. I doubt Biden will take this opportunity. But he is correct in his assessment that if Hamas is satisfied, the Axis of Resistance will stand down. This time.
I agree with you. Only who said Biden said, and he thinks? The article does not give any details. Biden is demented and is not getting better when he goes public. I have to admit, I think someone said it for him, he is not in too disabled to do the job. Biden is only a de facto president, we have no legal head of state, Biden's mental condition invalidates his signature or not?
The Iranians can't take chances trusting the US, Israel, UK, France and Germany. It is time to teach the Israelis and the Biden regime a lesson.
Broken agreements like the Minsk agreements and the Iranian nuclear treaty and much more are reminders. They also know how the Biden regime back-stabbed Germany, an ally, when they blew up the pipelined destroying the German economy and with it the EU and NATO. The insane Biden regime has imposed sanctions upon sanctions destroying the G-7 economies of the European nations.
The US and Israel have irrational, insane regimes, they will destroy the planet if no one stops them.
