can you post briefly your main points in that link?
Pete Hegseth (The minister of WAR):
„We are not defenders anymore. We are warriors. No stupid rules of engagement, no nation-building quagmire, no democracy building exercise, no politically correct wars. We fight to win, and we don't waste time or lives.

Ridiculous and grotesque to me to suggest that Iran was responsible for blowing up the school in which all those children died. Mind you, what was the idea of putting the school next to an IRGC facility?


Why is mossad headquarters next to residential area?

but there is no proof of that

Yes, they wouldn't launch these rockets if there was any evidence. Remember, the remnants of a rocket that crashed were sold to a scrap dealer by a citizen without any examination. Even though security forces came to the scene and inspected it. Metallurgical and chemical tests, as well as physical examinations, could have determined which country the rocket remnants belonged to. But the remnants disappeared without any investigation. Why?

Media reports indicate that six Türk Air Force F-16 aircraft will be deployed to the Türk Republic of Northern Cyprus tomorrow for protection purposes. Both Türkiye's and Cypriot authorities were cited as sources. Türkiye is a guarantor power in Cyprus!

Significant intervention by Lavrov to the Arab countries: "Did you condemn what the US and Israel began to do? Did you condemn the deaths of 170 girls in a school? ...We cannot accept the logic according to which Iran's actions are unacceptable, while everything the US and Israel do is not subject to discussion."

possible yes - but the facts are behind me when I said PROBABLY no
--the last world war was in 1945 and there have been hundreds of conflicts/wars since then
--even wars with MULTIPLE participants, they were contained and not world or total wars::
-Korean = China, Russia, US, UK, etc etc
--PG1 = long list of participants
--NATO in the Balkan Wars
-even wars where participants had nukes
etc
1. Which country startet and fought more wars then others combined? USA.
2. PG1 cant count in this.
3. NATO in which Balkan wars?

Scoop: U.S. dismayed by Israel's Iran fuel strikes, sources say

Israel's strikes on 30 Iranian fuel depots Saturday went far beyond what the U.S. expected when Israel notified it in advance, sparking the first significant disagreement between the allies since the war began eight days ago, according to a U.S. official, Israeli official and a source with knowledge.

Why it matters: The U.S. is concerned Israeli strikes on infrastructure that serves ordinary Iranians could backfire strategically, rallying Iranian society to support the regime and driving up oil prices.

Driving the news: The Israeli air force's Saturday strikes created large fires in Tehran, igniting flames visible for miles and blanketing the capital in heavy smoke.

The IDF claimed in a statement that the fuel depots "are used by the Iranian regime to supply fuel to different consumers including its military organs."
An Israeli military official said the strikes were intended in part to tell Iran to stop targeting Israeli civilian infrastructure.
Behind the scenes: Israeli and U.S. officials said the IDF notified the U.S. military ahead of the strikes.

But a U.S. official said that the U.S. military was surprised by how wide-ranging they were.
"We don't think it was a good idea," a senior U.S. official said.
An Israeli official said the U.S. message to Israel was "WTF".
The White House and the IDF didn't comment.
The big picture: While the facilities that were struck are not oil production facilities, U.S. officials are concerned the footage of burning depots could spook oil markets and push energy prices even higher.

"The president doesn't like the attack. He wants to save the oil. He doesn't want to burn it. And it reminds people of higher gas prices," a Trump adviser told Axios.
The other side: The spokesman for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, which oversees the military operations, warned Saturday that if attacks on Iran's oil infrastructure continue, Tehran may respond with similar strikes across the region.

He added that Iran so far hasn't targeted regional fuel and energy infrastructure and threatened that if Iran does, oil prices could hit $200 a barrel.
Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, one of the most senior officials in the regime, warned that if attacks on infrastructure continue, Iran will retaliate "without delay."
What's next: A U.S. official says the disagreement and what the U.S. expects in the war is expected to be addressed at senior political levels between the two allies.


It is hard to believe, but US is under the attack of both Iran and Isreal.

are you saying the US came over with a big ship and helped Israel in the Arab-Israeli Wars?
please specify
Let me clarify:
"Big ships." Three aircraft carriers! The largest warships in the world.
Didn't they come to Israel's aid?
Many would be proud that the most powerful country in the world sent its most powerful warships to help.

'We feel betrayed by Iran' as Gulf strikes continue: Qatar's PM​

Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani stated on Monday that his country feels "betrayed" by Iran's strikes on Gulf nations, calling Tehran's attacks a "dangerous miscalculation" that has "destroyed everything" in his first public interview since Qatar came under repeated missile and drone fire.

Qatar PM calls Iranian attacks 'big sense of betrayal'​

"It is a big sense of betrayal," Al Thani told Sky News.
"Just an hour after the start of the war, Qatar and other Gulf countries were attacked. We made clear that we were not going to take part in any wars against our neighbors," he noted.
The tone was striking from a country that has long maintained open diplomatic channels with Tehran and positioned itself as a global mediator. That relationship now appears deeply strained.
"All the attacks on the Gulf countries, we never expected this from our neighbor," Al Thani said.


"We have always tried to preserve a good relationship with Iran, but the justifications and pretexts they are using are completely rejected," he noted.

He pushed back against Iran's claim that its strikes targeted only military sites. "25% of the attacks are targeting civilian facilities. What has this got to do with the war? "What do they want to achieve?" he said, noting that international airports, water utilities, and gas infrastructure had all been in Tehran's crosshairs.
"The miscalculation by the Iranians to attack Gulf countries has destroyed everything," Al Thani said.

Qatar PM warns global economy at risk, calls for negotiations​

Despite his anger, Al Thani repeatedly stressed that military escalation would only deepen the crisis and called on all sides, including the United States, to reduce tensions.
"We continue to seek de-escalation," he said, noting that, "They are our neighbours, it's our destiny."
He insisted the answer must be renewed negotiations.


Al Thani warned that the consequences of sustained disruption would extend far beyond the region. Qatar supplies roughly 20% of the world's gas and is one of the planet's largest fertilizer producers, meaning any prolonged disruption would affect markets, food supplies and populations worldwide.

"What happens in the Gulf won't stay in the Gulf," he warned, calling attention to a war that began between the U.S., Israel, and Iran but is now dragging in countries that want no part of it.
Qatar's defense ministry said missile attacks on the country were intercepted, with explosions heard in Doha and a "national emergency" alert sent to mobile phones.

Iran launched at least 727 missiles at 7 Arab countries in first 8 days​

Iran launched at least 727 missile strikes against seven Arab countries in the first eight days of retaliation, according to data compiled by Türkiye's state-run Anadolu Agency (AA) from the defense ministries of targeted nations.
The number is believed to have risen significantly since.
The UAE was hardest hit, with 221 ballistic missiles, eight cruise missiles and 1,305 drones. Three people were killed and 112 were wounded. Kuwait faced 212 ballistic missiles and 394 drones.


Qatar was targeted by 120 ballistic missiles, 63 drones and two Su-24 fighter jets.

Bahrain was hit by 86 missiles and 148 drones. Jordan intercepted 108 of 119 incoming projectiles. Saudi Arabia reported at least six missiles and 40 drones. Oman reported at least eight drone strikes.
The United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran on Feb. 28, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and more than 1,300 civilians.
Iran has retaliated with strikes across the region targeting U.S. bases, diplomatic facilities and military personnel, as well as Israeli cities, with at least seven U.S. service members have been killed.

American military personnel filmed a strike by an Iranian drone, presumably an Arash-2, on the US Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait.

Something that surprises me: I have read no reports of illegal Israeli settlements on the west bank being targeted. Is there a reason?
