There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack. Thank you for your attention to this matter!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hey, better get in touch with Pock-e-stawn and arrange more negotiations with the Mad Mullahs, no? After all, they&#8217;re just aching to make a &#8220;deal&#8221; that will resolve our 47-year-old Iran problem once and for all. Stay the course, Mr Preaident, and damn the torpedos!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It is good news that our men survived, but it should be obvious by now that it is incredibly dangerous to continue pretending there is a ceasefire when there is not. It puts our service members at risk. This time the Iranian regime did not succeed in killing the pilots, but what about next time?<\/p>\n<p>The murderous mullahs continue to execute their own Persian people who protested the regime. The Tehran terrorists are also bombarding civilians across multiple Middle Eastern countries and encouraging their terrorist proxies to join in the bloody activities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gee, how very <strong>UNEXPECTED!\u00a9<\/strong>\u00a0of them.<\/p>\n<p>The main point, the <em>essential<\/em> point, the ONLY point (bold mine).<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It is highly ironic that over the weekend, Trump was trying to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into not striking back against the Iranian regime and its terror proxy Hezbollah for a series of devastating bombardments targeting civilian areas. Multiple Israelis died in Hezbollah strikes last week. Iran\u2019s other proxies, the Houthis, also joined in firing upon Israel. You can see Netanyahu\u2019s statement below.\u00a0<strong>Now, all of a sudden, Trump is discovering what Netanyahu and many of us already understood: The Iranian regime is not the least bit interested in negotiating in good faith, but it is just as determined to continue fighting and killing Americans as it is to fight and kill Israelis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Baqer Ghalibaf (or Qalibaf), who in April was among the Iranian negotiators speaking with American leaders, bragged soon after an abortive meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, &#8220;I, as a soldier, am fighting in the realm of negotiations.\u201d For fundamentalist Muslims, lying to the enemy is not only permissible, but praiseworthy (see taqiyya). This is why terrorists in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and elsewhere have violated every deal they ever made with Israel or Western nations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Having played along so far with Trump&#8217;s preposterous &#8220;Let&#8217;s make a deal!&#8221; delusions, I begin to wonder whether Bibi knows it or not, honestly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"remoji_bar\"><div class=\"remoji_add_container\" data-remoji-id=\"28679\" data-remoji-type=\"post\"><div class=\"remoji_add_icon\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"remoji_error_bar\" data-remoji-id=\"28679\" data-remoji-type=\"post\" style=\"display: none;\">Error happened.<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mlitary analysts confess utter bafflement as to how this could possibly have happened, given that all of Iran\u2019s military capability had already been destroyed weeks ago.
