Saudi Arabia - a key U.S. partner - just publicly slapped down U.S. ambassador to Israel. Get this extremist out of the Middle East before he wrecks what's left.
#Statement | The Foreign Ministry expresses its strongest condemnation and complete rejection of the statements made by the United States Ambassador to Israel, in which he recklessly suggested that Israel’s control over the entire Middle East would be acceptable.

What do the imbecilic EU politicians who cheer on an U.S. attack on Iran actually think? That if the U.S. bombs Iran, they'll share the spoils of “conquest” with them? Newsflash, idiots: You—Europe—will only get what you always get: Refugees. Terror blowback.

None of your business, ma'am. Iranians don't need @EP_President posting about their "freedom" while US prepares to bomb their country. Iranians will decide on the future of their country. Stay in your lane.
The people of Iran have been under the boot of a forceful theocracy for as long as I have been alive - living under a regime that refuses to tolerate dissent, pluralism or liberty. 47 years is too long to scream in silence. No new generation of Iranians should inherit fear as their birthright. Iran must be free.

Someone please check on this man. He isn't well.
YES, IN CAPS ...  IF WE DO NOT TAKE OUT THE IRANIAN REGIME NOW, IT WILL NEVER BE DONE, AND OUR CHILDREN AND FREEDOM-LOVING PEOPLE EVERYWHERE WILL NEVER FORGIVE US. IF WE ALLOW AN ISLAMIST TERROR REGIME, WITH WORLDWIDE GENOCIDAL AMBITIONS, TO FESTER, THEN GROW, THEN CONQUER, WITH THE MOST CUTTING EDGE WEAPONS OF ANNIHILATION IMAGINABLE, MANKIND WILL NEVER FORGIVE US.  THESE MASS MURDERERS WILL USE THESE WEAPONS, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE ALLAH WANTS THEM TO ELIMINATE ALL COUNTRIES, SOCIETIES, AND PEOPLE WHO DO NOT CONFORM TO THEIR 7TH CENTURY DEATH CULT -- SUBJUCATING AND MURDERING NOT JUST MILLIONS BUT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF HUMAN-BEINGS.  LET IT BE SAID THAT THERE ARE THOSE OF US WHO KNOW THIS, WHO ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PERSUADE THE POWERS THAT BE, TO PUT AN END TO THIS GENOCIDAL REGIME WHILE IT IS WEAKER THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN.  DEALS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN PAPER AGREEMENTS THAT MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO THIS REGIME AND, IN FACT, SUCH A PAPER AGREEMENT WOULD BE A DEATH WARRANT FOR THE WEST AND OUR CHILDREN.  AND THE FAILURE OF OUR GENERATION TO DO WHAT MUST BE DONE IN DEFENSE OF HUMANITY, DEMOCRACY, AND FREEDOM, FOR EACH AND EVERY SUCCEEDING GENERATION, WILL BE THE MOST GRIEVOUS YET UTTERLY AVOIDABLE MAN-MADE DISASTER IN HISTORY.  LET US NOT SELF-RIGHTEOUSLY DELUDE OURSELVES THAT SOME NEGOTIATED DEAL IS ANYTHING OTHER THAN APPEASEMENT AND, ULTIMATELY, SURRENDER.

NEW: MAGA seems convinced that wars of choice - even regime change - are good as long as Trump's doing it. Where does that leave principled conservatives who still oppose unprovoked, unauthorized war and overthrowing foreign govts? @jackhunter74 responsiblestatecraft.org/ma…

“The repercussions of a state collapse would far exceed what the Middle East has experienced as a result of conflict in Iraq, Syria, or Yemen, whether in the form of instability, migration, radicalism, the proliferation of armed groups, or regional spillover,” wrote Dalay. “Regional leaders believe the U.S. must give regional diplomacy a real chance. The alternative is a devastating war and another catastrophic cycle of conflict.”
America's Gulf allies are desperately pleading with Washington NOT to strike Iran. Not out of sympathy for Tehran—but because they'll be on the front lines of the blowback - read my latest for @RStatecraft responsiblestatecraft.org/ir…

Yep, the US Ambassador to Israel is a radical extremist cleric.
BREAKING: US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee tells Tucker Carlson that Israel has the Biblical right to take over all of the Middle East. “It would be fine if they took it all.”

Spoke with El País @el_pais @TDeiros: There is no "clean" regime change in Iran. Anyone promising surgical strikes and swift victory is delusional. What it actually requires is a prolonged, messy and bloody campaign. elpais.com/internacional/202… via @el_pais

Many Democrats want a U.S. war with Iran. Just with Trump’s hands.
If you suspect Democrats' silence on Iran isn't an accident, you are correct. A foreign policy aide to Chuck Schumer privately explained last year that many Democrats *want* a US war with Iran, but don't want the ensuing political fallout - so they prefer letting Trump do it:

Keir Starmer is doing here something deeply foreign to Boris: acting like a serious statesman, refusing to violate international law.
Iran may be months away from getting a nuclear bomb. But by refusing to let Trump use UK air bases for potential strikes, the PM is effectively backing the mullahs...whose side is Starmer on? mol.im/a/15578857

Sadism: Treating potential airstrikes as entertainment to accompany your dinner. Bigotry: Creating slurs for a holy month ('Haramadan'). If your post requires both to exist, you aren't making a political statement—you're just a psychopath.
Final tomahawk steak for dinner before Trump’s tomahawk missiles get launched towards IRGC in Iran. Happy Haramadan! 🇮🇷

Terrifying: watching only part of the Carlson-Huckabee interview reveals what many had feared: the man representing us in Israel is shockingly ignorant with sweeping fundamentalists beliefs that he carries into his official job.

An American ambassador openly endorsing Israel’s territorial expansion is dangerous and should unsettle the American people. It signals support for endless war, not U.S. interests.

I'm not a fan of Tucker Carlson, but #Huckabee's comment about the "Nile to Euphrates" passage in Genesis as basis for Israel's land rights is ridiculous, and *not* US policy. He has a right to an opinion as a Christian clergyman, but he is speaking as a govt official. 1/2

.@RichardHaass is no Iran dove, but he joins in warning against the folly of a new war of choice. Important realist voice.
What is being contemplated vis-a-vis Iran would be a war of choice in a region where recent wars of choice proved disastrous. It all adds up to an enormous, unnecessary, and ill-advised risk. open.substack.com/pub/richar…
