Responding to my question yesterday about topping the Iranian regime, Israeli prime minister Netanyahu referred to a quote from historian Will Durant about the fact that morality is not enough to protect civilizations against evil.

Netanyahu: Israel acted alone in strike against Iranian gas field @GuyAz 👇For more news and updates, visit our official website👇 bit.ly/i24NEWSEN

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: More fake news about my attitude towards Christians, who are protected and flourish in Israel. Let me be clear: I did not denigrate Jesus Christ at my news conference this evening.

Prime Minister Netanyahu's first in-person press conference since the war with Iran began. I went ahead with the first question. Iranian sources tell us there are elements within this current regime who want to defect. However, a movement or leader has yet to capture enough momentum that would allow those defections to take place en masse. The Prime Minister also stated tonight that he “is not sure” who is currently leading Iran, a nation of more than 90 million people. He added that the Ayatollah’s son, Mojtaba, has not been seen publicly since the war began. Remarkably, Netanyahu conceded that the current Islamic regime might survive this war. He said that they would be weakened, but could remain in power.

Answering my question whether POTUS knew of Israel's plan toattack Iran's gas field and whether he approved it, Netanyahu told me: "Israel acted alone in South Pars strike, Trump asked to hold off on further such attacks."

Netanyahu tells me: "There are many signs the Iranian regime is cracking; we are working to create the conditions for its collapse. It may survive, it may not, but if it does, it will be at its weakest point."

Friendly jihadist fire? Israel examines whether a long range missile fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon and triggered sirens in southern Israel has resulted in a hit within the Gaza strip

IDF: Over 200 targets associated with the Iranian regime were struck by the Israeli Air Force in the past day in western and central Iran. Targets included ballistic missile storage and launch sites, UAV facilities, air defense systems, ballistic missile launchers, and weapon production sites. Strikes continue to degrade missile and defense capabilities and reduce potential fire toward Israel.

Gold Star wife here. When ISIS killed your wife, you supported going after the people responsible. You understood exactly why we were fighting and never called it “Israel’s war.” My husband, Alan, was killed by Iranian proxies in Iraq. And now, after decades, the fight is finally leading back to the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world. You understood it when it was your loss. Now you’re minimizing it when it’s mine. You don’t get to redefine this war just because it’s not your grief anymore.

Joe Kent resigning and immediately pivoting to blaming Israel for everything is as predictable as it is unserious. Scapegoating Israel isn’t just a tired antisemitic trope – it’s anti-American. This is a guy with ties to white supremacists and has “PANZER” tattooed on his arm, referring to a Nazi tank infamously used in crimes against Jews. Kent's reduction of Iran to “Israel’s fault” isn’t leadership, it’s bigoted deflection.

A video that quickly backfired

According to @YehoshuaYosi the message of Washington and Jerusalem to Iran in their strike on the gas infrastructure is clear: we will not accept the situation in which production facilities in Qatar, Israel and gulf States are suspended while Iran continues to produce and export through the straits of Hormuz.

🚨 BREAKING: Tensions rise as Israeli strike hits Iran's massive South Pars gas facilities In coordinated U.S.-approved airstrikes, Israel targeted key processing infrastructure at South Pars, the world's largest natural gas field, shared with Qatar, sparking fires and partial production halts. Iranian officials and state media are now openly threatening to retaliate against energy assets in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Reports include evacuation warnings for oil/gas sites and ports across the Gulf. Qatar has condemned the strike as a "dangerous escalation," warning it endangers global energy security, regional stability, and the environment.

Breaking: Iranian state media report that natural gas facilities linked to the offshore South Pars field have been attacked.

🚨 BREAKING: Israel signals major escalation today Defense Minister Israel Katz: “Significant surprises are expected today across all arenas, escalating the war against Iran and Hezbollah. The intensity of strikes in Iran is increasing. The PM and I have authorized the IDF to eliminate any senior Iranian target once actionable intelligence is in place — without additional approval.”

🚨BREAKING: Israel ramps up pressure on Hezbollah and the Lebanese government: targeting crossings along the Litani River The IDF announces expanded operations in southern Lebanon: "Due to Hezbollah activity and the transfer of operatives under civilian cover, the IDF will carry out broad and precise strikes against Hezbollah terror infrastructure. Starting this afternoon, the IDF will target crossings along the Litani River to prevent the movement of reinforcements and weapons. Civilians are urged to move north of the Zahrani River and avoid traveling south for their safety." This aligns with Defense Minister Israel Katz’s recent warning that displaced Shiite residents will not return to southern Lebanon until northern Israel is secure. A diplomatic source told me yesterday: “Nothing will be achieved in negotiations without significant military action in Lebanon.”

This sad, broken, stupid person was director of the national counterterrorism center? Really? His whole letter is just an argument that it's all one giant Israeli conspiracy. And it isn't even a good version of that argument. It's just a crazy reddit post on federal stationery. He got completely lost down that rabbit hole. Lost enough to taint his own wife's death with this garbage. No, Israeli officials didn't dupe Trump into an anti-Iran posture that Trump has championed consistently since long before ever running for office. And no, Israel didn't dupe America into the Iraq War in 2003. Israel actually told America in real time not to go to Iraq because it was taking its eye off the real threat in Iran. That was Prime Minister Sharon's argument. (Yes, Netanyahu once gave testimony in Congress in favor of the Iraq war. He was a private citizen at the time. If that was enough to drag America to war, you've got bigger problems than Israel.) But it gets so, so much worse. This poor sod literally claims he lost his wife to "a war manufactured by Israel." But he lost his wife in Syria fighting ISIS -- a fight he actually supports in this very letter. So which is it? It's tragic reading this kind of insane babble from a broken man. More to the point, this isn't a man capable of understanding or articulating policy. He certainly wasn't in the room when any of these decisions were made. If he was, he wouldn't be telling old lies about old wars. It's good that he's quitting. When all you can see is the demonic specter of the "Jew" blocking out everything else in sight, you no longer have much to offer your country. No, America isn't this stupid. No, Israel isn't this nefarious or powerful. And no, your wife didn't die for Israel, but for America. What a sad, broken, stupid, incompetent man you had running your counterterrorism, America. And what a sad, pathetic party the Republican Party will become if this is its future.

דיווחנו במהדורה המרכזית עם @MiriMichaeli בi24NEWS: גורם מדיני בכיר: "מתחזקת ההערכה בישראל ובארה"ב כי הפלת המשטר באיראן היא אפשרות ממשית." הצהרה משמעותית, על רקע החיסולים המשמעותיים אמש של עלי לאריג'אני ומפקד הבסיג' בתקיפות של חיל האוויר, וברקע השאלה האם המפגינים באיראן יכולים לחזור לרחובות. גורם מעורה מוסיף ואומר - האפשרות הזו ממשית אבל זה עשוי לקחת עוד מעט זמן. בהקשר הזה, בישראל אומרים על הדיווח בוושינגטון פוסט, שלפיו בכירים ישראלים מסרו לדיפלומטים אמריקנים כי המפגינים האיראנים "יישחטו" אם ייצאו לרחובות וינסו להתקומם נגד המשטר — מדובר בקשקוש מוחלט. בהמשך לכך, גורמים במערכת הביטחון אומרים: המצב של המשטר אינו כפי שהיה לפני חודשים — לא בבסיג' ולא במנגנוני ביטחון הפנים, גם המיניסטריון, גוף המודיעין שהיה מופקד על איסוף מידע על התארגנויות אזרחיות, נפגע. המטרה בפעילות של ישראל היא להפחית ככל האפשר את היכולת והאפקטיביות של הבסיג' — החל בחיסול המפקדים, דרך פגיעה בתשתיות, ועד למצב שבו אין להם בסיסים, ציוד או יכולת פעולה. גם המחסומים ברחובות מושמדים — בפועל ובפיזית — וזה גם מסר תודעתי משמעותי לאיראנים שרואים שהמחסומים הללו נעלמים. "יש פגיעה — היא אינה מוחלטת, אך היא ממשית, מתעצמת ומתמשכת", אומרים במערכת הביטחון.

Whether you support the war or oppose it, Joe Kent is a well known neo nazi racist. No one should be taking anything he says seriously - even if you happen to agree with some elements. x.com/stephenfhayes/…
