Donald Trump could be ready to order a strike against Iran, ABC reported citing an unnamed Australian government figures.
The undisclosed source told ABC that Australian defense facilities would play a role in identifying targets in Iran. British intelligence agencies would play the same part. However, another anonymous senior security source claims that there was a big difference between providing accurate intelligence and analysis on Iran’s facilities and being part of a “kinetic” mission.
ABC further reported that some members of Malcolm Turnbull’s government believe that Trump is prepared to use military force against Iran, others maintain that it might be just a part of his twitter diplomacy, as consequences of a conflict with Tehran might cause unpredictable and dangerous responses in the Middle East.
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, on July 26th, in front of ABC’s AM program said that “Australia is urging Iran to be a force for peace and stability in the region. The relationship between the United States and Iran is a matter for them. What we are looking to do is to ensure that all parties embrace peaceful and stable principles to ensure that our region is safe.”
ABC also reported that Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne had the following to say regarding the validity Trump’s threat against Iran: “Certainly President Trump has indicated that he’s a person who’s prepared to act in a way that previous presidents haven’t. And for that reason, one should always take anything that he says extremely seriously.”
Senior figures in the Turnbull Government have also told the ABC that at the AUSMIN meeting on July 25th in San Francisco, US Secretary of Defence James Mattis reinforced US’s strong position on Iran. He said that while speaking alongside Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, Defence Minister Marise Payne and US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo. No AUSMIN reports contain information regarding Iran, according to them the meeting concerned primarily China and North Korea.
On July 27th, as Reported by Straits Times, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said he had no reason to believe the US was preparing for a military confrontation. His exact words were “I saw a story today claiming that, on the ABC, and citing senior Australian government sources,” he said. “It’s speculation, it is citing anonymous sources.”
On July 26th, Iran’s Major General Qassem Soleimani in a sharp reaction to Trump’s July 23rd threat answered: “You threaten us with an action that is ‘unprecedented’ in the world. This is cabaret-style rhetoric. Only a cabaret owner talks to the world this way.”
His words were an answer to Donald Trump’s row of aggressive twitter-style diplomacy: “To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!” He tweeted the threat after President Rouhani, in his statement on July 23rd, said that “must understand that war with Iran is the mother of all wars and peace with Iran is the mother of all peace. Do not play with the lion’s tail, because you will regret it eternally.”
Major General Soleimani further said “It is beneath the dignity of our president to respond to you. I, as a soldier, respond to you.”
PressTV also reported that the General went into detail reminding the United States of its failures in its invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan:
“What was it that you could do over the past 20 years but you didn’t? You came to Afghanistan with scores of tanks and personnel carriers and hundreds of advanced helicopters and committed crimes there. What the hell could you do between 2001 and 2018 with 110,000 troops? You are today begging Taliban for talks. Afghanistan was a poor country, what the hell could you do in this country that you are currently threatening us?”
He further continued that in Yemen the US-backed coalition of Saudi Arabia and its allies has been incapable of making any gains against the country’s Houthi Ansarullah movement.
PressTV also reported that Soleimani condemned the US for supporting Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO), a militant group aiming to overthrow the Iranian government.
BBC reported that Soleimani’s threatened that war with Iran would “destroy all that you possess.”
This also comes after, on July 23rd, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the religious leaders of Iran “hypocritical holy men” and likened the government of the country to “mafia”.
However, as reported by BBC, on July 25th, Donald Trump, while speaking to a veterans’ group, said that the US was “ready to make a deal” with Iran.
US-Iran relations have been worsening since the May 8th withdrawal of US from the Iran Nuclear Deal. After the departure, the US also threatened to impose sanctions, the first of which are to go into effect in August 2018. The deal’s EU partners have since made a bid to assist Iran in dealing with the sanctions and filling the gap left by the US. Despite EU’s vows, on July 18th, an Iranian factory began producing centrifuge rotors. This came a month after Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a statement ordered agencies to prepare to increase uranium enrichment capacity, if the deal falls apart after the US withdrawal.
He cannot order his launch because of what an idiot he is. He will strike IRAN LOL. Trump = Mad House of cards.
Knowing the US, they will probably hit Japan by mistake.
the jews run Washington, for instance David Axelrod is one of those jews

uhuh channel australian! article pute a clic! rumours absurde!!! iran proteged and allied the russia and china! article idiot!! uhuh
Nuts. The Anglo-Zionist cabal has completely lost the plot.
Trump has enough problems to deal with without creating an almighty mess in the middle east by attacking Iran. This would likely send oil to $200 a barrel & wreck the fragile world economy. How would he even sell such action as justified when the IAEA confirms Iran has no nuclear weapons
$200 a barrel is the only way for the economy of usa to be able survive few more years.
Are you serious at that price it would kill the economy – only shale producers would benefit from high prices. You think the transportation & trucking sector would benefit there would be mass lay offs
Me am dead serious but then again I am not the one who do global policy o a decision maker just an observer.
There is a saying. A wet person does not fear the rain. So how can kill an economy based on debt? If you take the time to think about it the answer is simple you can not destroy it is already destroyed day one of her existence.
What you will destroy, is the humans beings that are the population of western countries, as not all economies will be destroyed, just western ones.
I’ve been meaning to tell you that I admire your perspective.
If Iran declare that they have no nuclear weapons then they will be definitely targeted. US want soft targets to hit first. This is a worst stupidity for any government to declare that they have no deterrence and come target them.
The mother’s of all war will be open!!!!
WHoOO…ScaAARYYY…STRIKES ON IRAN….for What Fuckface AmeriKKKa? Send in Your ARMY…NATO…HEADCHOPPING WAHHABI MERCENARIES… And order some EXTRA BODY BAGS…Build an Iron Dome around the Whole Middle East….To Shoot Down any USraeli-Flying-Objects
Unfortunately, I don’t think Australian Government sources can be discounted despite the madness underpinning American flickers & rumblings to affect they are preparing for an assault on Iran. Clearly, America is looking for support from Anzacs for a war with Iran but if Mattis has any sense at all, he will discount the whispering in the ears of Donny coming from Jerusalem and roar out that neither America nor Military families and communities can afford to have bodies coming home from the Straits of Hormuz or from the Iranian mainland in furtherance of Israeli and BiBi’s wet dreams.
Its not about war. Its about controlling the worlds energy, one way or another.
unlike you right? I dont think beside few here, that they dont understand war and insurgencies, or pink revolutions, is just the tool.
Energy -water -food. Who ever control this 3 owns the world and is been known to all since the beginning of time.
If attacked,then israhell will be destroyed, no ifs or buts,,it’s long overdue that these racist warmongers pay a heavy price for their crimes down the decades.THEY better come to their senses very quickly,or else.
That would be the logical approach, Israel and the US bases in the ME, if Iran has subs then position them near a major US city and let them loose.
For me, the Iranian subs (not really state of the art), takes out the KSA Navy and whatever they can do to Israel.
Iran has indeed quite a number of subs, even more dangerous mini-subs that can wreak havoc on its enemies in the Persian gulf! See it below:

Thanks for the link.
Trump, however insane he may be, is presumably not preparing for land invasion of Iran, which would require well over half a million troops at very minimum. A land war would be unwinnable, as the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen have been unwinnable. So Trump would go with his air and naval forces. Presumably, Iran has (1) the capability to retaliate against any US naval vessel in the Persian Gulf that attacks Iran. Such retaliation only requires conventional missiles or cruise missiles powerful enough to disable or destroy a warship at sea. In all likelihood Iran has (2) the capability of launching missile strikes on America’s 2 allies in the Mideast — Israel and Saudi Arabia — and, specifically, on major Israeli and Saudi cities and military bases. The threat of such attacks is what used to be called “deterrence.” Here, the key to Iranian strategy would be the large number of advanced intermediate range ballistic missiles in its arsenal and which, presumably, would be launched from hardened silos or other underground facilities.
But remember as well, that – http://www.asianews.it/news-en/China-and-Russia-reiterate-support-for-Iran-nuclear-agreement-43058.html
https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/russia-and-iran-deepen-ties-to-challenge-trump-and-the-united-states
and so on and so on. Personally my money is on Russia / China and Iran, despite feeling like a traitor.
Yeah, but in the military realm, that’s all they ever do: “support”, “deepen ties”, … When the Kremlin sees the move towards war on its Iranian ally, they’ll “condemn”; if that’s not enough, they’ll “strongly condemn”; after that, they’ll hope for the best. Alternative media presents this triumphalist picture how Russia’s superweapons make the USN useless, but there’s never a conclusive message to cut it out and go home.
At the hour of truth, all sides still play by Zionist rules: American allies are untouchable while the rest is valid prey. Even right at Russia’s own borders, regime changes, exercises, and provocations are OK it seems.
I think you are wrong, so we must agree to disagree.
Furthermore, Iran can close down the Strait of Hormuz making it very difficult for any tanker to pass through it and this is how they could do it:

I suspect it is just the usual DISTRACTIONS to take your eyes off of Israel, and what they may be doing,MORE OF, to Palestinians or SYRIANS

Mattis Rejects Viral Australian Report On Impending US Iran Strikes
MATTIS: “I have no idea where the Australian news people got that information. I am confident it is not something that is being considered right now. I think it is a complete, frankly, it’s fiction.”
Pathetic national Australian Broadcast Company (not equally-pathetic U.S. network ABC) apparently based their story on what their ‘government officials’ in Australia thought about Trump’s tweets. That’s some damn fine journalism right there.
In Afghanistan a couple of thousands of Afghani Taliban kicking asses of US and of their allies. First Bush then Obama and now Trump. Finally US realize that they cannot win from Taliban let’s go negotiate with them. Now these morans think that they gonna defeat Iran. Iran has nuclear weapons and has thousands of Ballistic and cruise missiles. They will definitely fuck US and their allies.
bullshitting and misinforming, seems to be your specialty hasbara. Since when Iran, has nuclear weapons?
If Trump and his cadre believe that he can launch an unprovoked attack against Iran with a bunch of cruise missiles and expect Iran not to respond while he receives praise from the MSM and Europe like he did in Syria it is the very height of Hubris and will be our undoing.
Okay, he will receive praise from our Puppets in the MSM but Iran will respond and he will be viciously condemned by the EU, Russia, China, and many other countries. Iran aint Syria.
One reason I doubt this story is that prior to the Syrian strikes, the U.S. had to spend days moving ships into the area to prepare a cruise missile strike. I don’t think we have the capability of doing a similar strike without some indication. After all, we would have to go deep into Iranian territory and we won’t want to do that with manned aircraft. Do we have 300 cruise missiles in Qatar and the Persian Gulf lying around?
well he is a moron and a push over so it is very likely he can do it. On the other hand is also a coward and a bully and we seen all his performance with NK. After doing his number he went and kissed ass.
Good luck. The americans have used us, voting drug dealers and degenerates for their presidents, to the point we was thinking it can not become any worst now they have a complete moron whose going to launch this world into a nuclear holocaust at the end.
USA withdraw Al from the nuclear deal,is struck being played by western powers on Iran Us withdrawal and Europe not withdraw ING and Iran now faces USA without neucler deterrent,what if usa strikrs Iran who will protect them. Iran should urgently stsrt neucler weapons production.this the only way to stop USA and isreal
IF………………
Trick not struck
Not gonna happen, it’s part of the their psychological warfare tactic
and I was thinking is just farting from the mouth, the specialty of them the last 30-40 years as far Iran goes.
Talking about peace at the same time threatening a war, thats how US hypocrisy in the making
Simple and even low iq people know who instigated this messed in middle east, US and his puppet from europe, israel and saudi arabia.
did Iran declare war with afghanistan, syria, libya where the center of chaos happening? Everyone knows who did it and its not iran
you forget the center of all you mention and that is UK.
we do nuffin.
“…. ABC reported citing an unnamed Australian government figures.”
I stopped reading right there. The article admits that it is based on rumors.
Yup. Attacks on iran have been threatened regularly since 2003. Never materialized.
I hope that this positive trend continues. The last thing that humanity needs is another war.
Id bet on it. Theres been so many bluffs Im thinking they have no idea how to work with Iran.(they could try respectful peer level relationships but that seems impossible somehow)
It’s time the US will responds Iran’s rhetoric, by crippling the Iranian Nuclear capabilities, pulverized their missile launcher and factories, to prevent them of sowing chaos in the Strait of Hormuz…
yes hasbara what ever you say.
Hahaha, great minds think alike.
Are you for real ?. Iran has not undertaken any coups, killed anyone outside Syria (who is worth any sympathy), undertakes free elections and is a wonderful place.
Have you ever been there ?, thought not.
Why dont you grow up, educate yourself and stick your hooked nose, up your arse.
and lose the shekels? you must be kidding of course.
Always.
You are a fanatic Iranian…. ignoring the volatile situation of the country domestic problems..
The so called volatile situation is due to the genuine economic problems, with a small bunch of Yank paid traitors.
Time for rest of the world to boycott and sanction the US. People of the world should not buy US products, not travel to US; not fly on US airlines; not fly on airlines that fly US-made aircraft; not patronize US restaurant, fast food and hotel chains (no more Starbucks; no more McDonald’s); not buy any US-branded product (no more Nike), not buy from Amazon. Do not buy gasoline from American oil companies. Do not buy American fruits, vegetables, meats, cereals or other American food products from your local supermarket.

Only for weak brains and amerikanized humans. I understand what you saying and I am in agreement with you, about the brainwashing, is been going on since the existence of holyshit but then a person can chose what to watch or not and even if it does can see. They are two kinds of humans. The ones who get educated by holyshit and believe all they watch on screen and the ones who understand perfectly well what they watch and discard the brainwashing attempted on them.
I have not watch TV since Gun Smoke and Bonanza.
most are MKed, so your brain does not work properly and you are left being a drooling trump supporter.

Trump’s tariffs is to get everyone buying from jewamerica, when not even nobody should buy from jewamerica.
So far these leaks are only meant as psychological warfare. But it may show how little Iran got out of this Russia-style other-cheek stuff in the face of Israeli air strikes. In fact, these were a great occasion to remind all relevant parties that war with Iran will hurt, a lot. Now Iran goes “We will react asymmetrically at a time of our own choosing”, the stuff which nobody believes any more when Moscow says it. I remember those guys and Hezbollah being tougher than this.
Trump cant do anything he knows very well war with iran will trigger WW. and Russia and china will defently take advantage and will supply all kind of weopeons support to iran /Hezbollah/Syria andmay be hauthis. Iran has enough manpower. and plus all the US bases is very] near to iran Bahrain and Qatar base. wil be big US casualties.Hezbollah/Syria and hamas will take care of Israel. Iraq and iran /Hauthis will take carre of US force in sea and land. Trump dumb doesn’t know thie strategic value and will push US force in to death trap. US army Families should refuse trump for illegal war for Israel. US army should not sacrifice for Israel. US army man should think this Iran is not problem problem is the Zionist lobby government in US
That will been true if trump actually was making the decisions and was not just a mouth piece. But then again the ones who actually making the decisions are not that much more intelligent then tramp and the rest of the stooges.
Lead singer, drummer, and producer are all working on the same album, we might say.
Empty threats.
It will get the Iranian defense industry into high gear.
Get allied with Erdogan and sell missiles/missile defense to Erdogan for Turkey’s stealth fighters.
Maj Gen. Qasim Suleimani to Trump:
(…What was it that you could do over the past 20 years but didn’t? You came to Afghanistan with…battle tanks and armored vehicles as well as hundreds of advanced helicopters, and perpetrated crimes there. What the hell could you do between 2001 and 2018 with 110,000 troops? You are today begging Taliban for talks…Have you forgotten that you would provide diapers to your soldiers? Now you’ve come and threaten us? What the hell could you do during the 33-day war? Is it not that you accepted Hezbollah’s conditions for ending the war?…We are near you, where you can’t even imagine … Come. We are ready…)

It’s probably a good time to invest in gold, oil, guns and ammunition.
That be a blessing for europe as it stands now. We first clean it from the trash they imported in, along with the politicians and then we rebuild it, in no time.
Street barking!!!
Yanks ‘aint got the balls to attack Iran.
No balls to invade, but plenty of balls to use standoff weapons. It’s the coward’s way of fighting . .
