Whoa, just whoa.
Who made the decision for the #US to attack #Iran—the American president, or a foreign country off in the shadows pulling the strings?

It’s understandable why many people think the US/ #Israel war against Iran is a bad idea. Some say it violates the #UN Charter. Others think it is unnecessary for the United States to do this since Iran wasn’t directly threatening the United States, or that even if Iran’s nuclear program was potentially a threat, negotiations could have achieved an equal or better outcome. Those are certainly reasonable views.

But before jumping to conspiracy, remember who actually made the decision to send the US into this war: Donald #Trump. And there’s no question that in his mind, he is one hundred percent certain that this war is necessary to defend the United States.
Claims that #Jews or Israel are somehow pulling the strings and manipulating the US into the Iran war don’t arise in a vacuum. They mirror longstanding patterns of antisemitism, in which Jews are portrayed as wielding hidden power, manipulating governments, and acting with dual loyalties.

Il Tempo: Guerra, esplosioni a Teheran. Pioggia di missili su Israele e Paesi del Golfo

Infiamma la guerra i Medio oriente. Esplosioni sono state segnalate nei pressi dell'aeroporto di Teheran. Le immagini, diffuse da Al Jazeera, mostrano enormi esplosioni avvenute durante la notte nei pressi dello scalo di Mehrabad, situato dentro la capitale iraniana. Nel filmato si vede il fumo che si alza intorno all'aeroporto.  Intanto il Corpo delle Guardie della Rivoluzione Islamica dell'Iran ha dichiarato di aver lanciato nelle scorse ore la sua "operazione più violenta e intenso" dall'inizio della guerra, riporta la  Cnn che cita fonti media locali. Missili balistici a lungo raggio Khorramshahr sarebbero stati lanciati contro obiettivi in Israele e statunitensi ma non ci sono segnalazioni di feriti, riferiscono i servizi di soccorso israeliani, citati da Times of Israel.

Nella regione la tensione è altissima. La difesa aerea del Qatar è' riuscita a intercettare l'attacco missilistico iraniano sul suo territorio, riferisce Al Jazeera. "La minaccia alla sicurezza è stata eliminata e la situazione è tornata alla normalità", hanno affermato le autorità del Paese. Il Corpo delle Guardie della Rivoluzione Islamica dell'Iran ha inoltre affermato che almeno due missili sono stati lanciati verso una base statunitense in Kuwait. Lo riferiscono le agenzie di stampa iraniane. "La base americana di Arifjan è stata colpita dal lancio di 2 missili da parte dell'unità missilistica terrestre", hanno dichiarato i Pasdaran, riferendosi a Camp Arifjan, installazione situata a sud di Kuwait City.

War, explosions in Tehran. Missile barrage on Israel and Gulf countries.

It ignites war in the Middle East. Explosions have been reported near the Teheran airport. Images, broadcast by Al Jazeera, show massive explosions that occurred during the night near the Mehrabad airport, located within the Iranian capital. The footage shows smoke rising around the airport. Meanwhile, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has declared it launched its “most violent and intense” operation since the start of the war, according to CNN, citing local media sources. Ballistic missiles with long range Khorramshahr were launched against targets in Israel and the United States, but there are no reports of casualties, Israeli rescue services reported, cited by Times of Israel.

Tension is extremely high in the region. The Qatari air defense managed to intercept the Iranian missile attack on its territory, Al Jazeera reports. “The threat to security has been eliminated and the situation has returned to normal,” the country’s authorities said. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps also stated that at least two missiles were launched towards a U.S. base in Kuwait. This is reported by Iranian news agencies. “The American base of Arifjan was struck by the launch of 2 missiles by the ground missile unit,” the Pasdaran said, referring to Camp Arifjan, a base located south of Kuwait City.

Hundreds of rabbis demand Israel stop ‘using starvation as a weapon of war’

Letter signed by rabbis worldwide and across denominations warns of ‘grave moral crisis,’ calls on government to work urgently ‘to bring home all the hostages and end the fighting’

from the #TimesOfIsrael

[not a total break from Israel's war on Gaza by any means, but a significant statement nonetheless]

The signatories also said they “unequivocally support” #Israel’s battle against #Hamas and Hezbollah...

“But we cannot condone the mass killings of civilians, including a great many women, children and elderly, or the use of starvation as a weapon of war,” the letter continued. “The severe limitation placed on humanitarian relief in #Gaza, and the policy of withholding of food, water, and medical supplies from a needy civilian population contradict essential values of #Judaism as we understand it.”
