Almost three weeks into the US-Israel war on the Islamic Republic, with much of the world dithering, Israel and much of the Gulf fiercely supportive, and US President Donald Trump confusingly vowing to keep going and to imminently stop, let nobody doubt what hangs in the balance. We are at war because the mass-murdering regime in Tehran — during negotiations aimed by the US at avoiding this conflict, even as the ayatollahs had resumed their nuclear weapons program and were again expanding their ballistic missile arsenal — refused to give up its ostensible “right” to enrich uranium. Why would that be? Because they had already evaded oversight protocols and enriched sufficient uranium for 11 nuclear bombs, as they cheerfully confirmed to Trump’s negotiator Steve Witkoff, and by extension fully intend to proceed along the road to a nuclear arsenal.

The US military’s request for $200 billion in additional funding for the Iran war met with stiff opposition in the US Congress on Thursday, as Democrats and even some Republicans questioned the need for the money after large defense appropriations last year. A US official confirmed a Washington Post report that the Department of Defense has asked the White House to approve a more than $200 billion request to Congress to fund the war in Iran. President Donald Trump has not yet sent a request for the Senate and House of Representatives to approve the huge sum, and his administration made clear the number could change.

Jake Lang has burned a copy of the Talmud, performed a Nazi salute outside AIPAC’s headquarters and repeatedly declared that “Christ is King.” But those antisemitic displays have not earned him an in with his fellow far-right personalities. Instead, after Lang’s anti-Muslim rally in New York City earlier this month was derailed by bomb-throwing counterprotesters, they ramped up a campaign against him.

NEW: CIA, Mossad said looking for signs of Mojtaba Khamenei as he remains unseen. “We have no evidence that he is really the one giving orders,” a senior Israeli official is quoted as saying, while a US official describes the situation as “beyond weird.” “We don’t think the Iranians would have gone through all this trouble to choose a dead guy as the supreme leader, but at the same time, we have no proof that he is taking the helm,” the US official adds.

While Gulf countries cautioned US President Donald Trump not to launch a war against Iran in the runup to the conflict, most of them are now urging Washington to continue striking the regime, four senior officials representing different Gulf capitals told The Times of Israel. Iran responded to the initial strikes by not only targeting those attacking it, but also by launching repeated strikes against all six Gulf Cooperation Council countries — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The attacks have killed several people and disrupted oil and gas production as well as tourism, both of which are important economic lifelines for the region.
