and productive conversations with Iran and he will order the military ​to postpone any military ​strikes against Iranian power plants ⁠and energy infrastructure for five ​days.

Trump’s move followed a threat by ​Iran to attack Israel’s power plants and those supplying U.S. bases ​across the Gulf region if ​the U.S. targets Iran’s power network.

    I assume Israel also isnt very happy right now because they have had hundreds of casualties in the last few days alone from Iranian missile strikes. I think its getting a bit too spicy for them too at this point.

      IDK, Netanyahu wants to destabilize the entire middle east, so Israel can be the #1 dominant force there, seems like Iran is helping him a lot with that.
      I bet that to him a few casualties in Israel is just collateral damage.

      Anyways, if it’s going bad for Israel, that makes me happy. Israel 100% needs to be reigned in.
      If it’s going bad for Trump that also makes me happy, because Republicans need to get seriously unpopular in USA, then maybe a path will finally be opened for USA to progress away from their sociopathic polices.

      For USA this is 100% moronic, because USA had a lot of control of the middle east, and this will make USA lose a lot possibly all of that.

        About Israels plans to destabilize the middle east: do they really think that everyone will just peacefully accept that Israel forced them into this mess? Land of eye for am eye and all that?

          They have most of the Gulf states allied with them and US, even if their people protest it. They make a peep when there are heavy genocide days, but forgive easy.

          They want to have constant enemies and they have raised generations with pure hatred now. It is a diseased culture even worse than the US which is both amazing and horrific at the same time.

          Nine in ten Israelites unironically support the War in Iran. This level of bloodthirst is scary beyond words. They will never stop fighting and will turn on their allies in a second. I really hope there is a peaceful solution, but I just can’t see one.

          IDK, I guess they expect that with the societies broken and Arab countries abandoning USA, they will be the only country left standing.
          It’s insane, just about as insane as it was for USA to enter the war.
