U.S. President Donald Trump and his entourage have evidently lost the “war at home”. The internal struggle is all but entirely concluded, and the victors are Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party.

However, Trump and Co., in their last days in office are still dead set on proving they are in charge of the Middle East, and on guaranteeing that their “maximum pressure campaign” on Iran continues. And both sides are flexing muscles showing that they are ready for military confrontation at any moment.

Tehran revealed its new helicopter carrier – the Makran, as well as a brand-new missile launching warship – the Zereh. Iran continues amassing forces along its sea border in the Persian Gulf and is tightening its grip on the Strait of Hormuz.

US Satellite imagery has revealed an increase in activity by IRGC vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

In just the first days of the year, Iran carried out a large-scale drone drill, showcasing loitering munitions and more, closely followed by a naval exercise.

The elite Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps revealed their own underground missile base near the Persian Gulf, promising to realize their threat of turning the US aircraft carriers into “sinking submarines.”

On its part, the United States sent their nuclear submarine, the USS Georgia, loaded to the brink with Tomahawk missiles, accompanied by two guided missile destroyers, to the Persian Gulf.

They joined the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier, which was initially set to depart, but which has instead remained.

To top it all off, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed that the new “home base” of Al-Qaeda is Iran and went pretty close to claiming that Iran was even behind the organization of 9/11.

That took place just days after Pompeo vowed to designate Yemen’s Houthis, longstanding Iranian allies, as a terrorist organization. Hezbollah is also on high alert. Its Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah vowed to support Iran and thanked it again for its support.

Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabiei warned the US against “extraterritorial adventurism” and its actions do appear to be evidence of that.

At the same time, Donald Trump is desperate for a “win” or at least to show himself as a decision-maker, after being banned from all social media. It could also be his aim to damage the relations between Tehran and Washington beyond repair.

Incoming President Joe Biden is expected to attempt to rejoin the Iran Nuclear Deal in one way or another, which could lead to improving relations between the two sides and bring a semblance of calm to the Middle East.

There is no certainty that this would happen and, depending on which actions would be undertaken by both Iran and the USA, this could also contribute to a deepening rift between the two.

In regard to the conflict between Iran and Israel, the parliament in Tehran voted on a resolution to end the state of Israel by 2041. While Biden is expected to be less supportive of Tel Aviv than Trump, the United States will remain Israel’s key ally. Therefore, an end to the conflict between the sides is as unlikely as ever, but Israel may, for the first time in a while, be on retreat.

The Trump Government has less than 7 days to Start a War at Home or Abroad

ro.niccolosi

Trump will go into history as emperor Nero

Ivan Freely

What makes you think the Biden/Harris government won’t start a new war?

Jesus

Trump is done, he had his chances with Iran, the Iranian missile attack on the US base in Iraq scared him badly.

Raptar Driver

Biden and the democrats have won nothing! They stole the election clearly, they are criminals of the highest order and should be ignored, removed and disposed of.

El Mashi

A sad Christian Zionist, and his meaningless opinion.

Decatur Guy

A baseless, ad hominem attack coming from mouth of a fool.

El Mashi

You are lying. Sad

Decatur Guy

You’re a fool. It’s genetic. Karma!

Raptar Driver

It is your assumption that is meaningless.

El Mashi

You are misinformed or lying. You are the result of the rot. Sad. Shalom.

Raptar Driver

Better get your brain checked buddy. Your head should not be up your ass. See a doctor immediately.

SF said in the video “Israel may be on the retreat”. A news flash for you, my dear Russian propagandists – we don’t retreat. As long as we are allowed to move forward, we keep on moving and we kill every terrorist that comes into our sight. In 2006 we were stopped due to a fake ceasefire, just before we crossed the Litani river. Few months ago we were so close to enter Lebanon again, so tell me, how come we are on the retreat? they are very lucky we have Bibi in power, so many IDF troops just wait for the chance to kill Hezbollah members. I personally do.

<>

Hey LR, well I think it depends on how much firepower we decide to use this time. In 2006 we kept most of the villages intact, just went from house to house to find Hezbollah members, but tried to avoid hurting the Shia population thus they had only 1200 killed in 30 days. It won’t be the case again, and they know it. If we go all in with full force on day one, there won’t be 32K dead or wounded, at top I expect it can reach to 3-5K. But on their side it can reach up to 200-300K dead, as most of their cities would be in ruins. Israel will always win, no matter how many rockets they shoot. If Lebanese are smart they kick out Hezbollah from power, before they drag them into a war they will lose badly and regret it for many more years to come.

In 2006 IDF lost the war!…everyday hundred of rockets hit Israel and also they lost Helicopters and a Frigate….42 Merkava tanks were destroyed in a single day!…therefore Israel failed his offensive accord all sources, military experts and media press…only Israeli people believe his own lies!

<>

More lies? don’t tell that BS to me. I was there during my active service and we crossed into Lebanon, you’re only right that about 300-400 rockets hit Israel everyday and most of them were short ranged. Also, the ship didn’t sink and was only damaged by the Yehunat rocket, and was repaired at the port of Haifa. Also, 1 helicopter was shot down, and 3 were lost in accidents. It happens in every war.

Rhodium 10

3 in accidents?..thats usual in western propagande to restar losses!…Golani brigade failed to advance through south lebanon…and people in Haifa were desperate…

cechas vodobenikov

Zion refuses to recognize that Hisbollah rockets more numerous lethal, accurate and longer range today

El Mashi

Wait until Hezbollah crosses into the Occupied Syrian Golan Heights. Every Hezbollah fighter has pledged revenge and martyrdom. Hezbollah waits with impatience for the next opportunity. Shalom.

<>

So do we El Mashi.

During my last operation in Gaza, we used gas to make them come out of their tunnels (I won’t say which type). Atleast the ones who survived it, they can’t stay inside for too long with masks. It’s their own deathtrap, and we will do so again. Regarding their rockets, as I wrote most of them are short ranged meaning up to 10KM from the border, and are dumb rockets. So yeah, they can inflict damage upon Israelis living closer to the border, but for every dead Israeli they will get a dozen dead Lebanese, so they need to ask themselves does it worth it. When we start advancing into Lebanon (probably a force of over 100,000 IDF troops), then it’s only a matter of time before we capture their bunkers because we won’t rush in. I think the NK operation by Azerbaijan would be more accurate as to what we will do.

<>

Sounds like a plan, I hope the top brass executes it :)

<>

I don’t think so LR, we’re going to finish them off.

Rhodium 10

Israel will be defeated like in 2006…the diference is that Trump would be supported Israel once ballistic and cruise missile hit Tel Aviv like they did during Gulf war deploying more Patriot system under USA control!…but without Trump Israel would face attacks and I have doubts that Biden will support Israel with military force!…dont be trust with Iran..they destroyed 2 US bases ( Erbil was destroyed as 5 missile with 750kg of explosive warhead each one) hit a complex inside and USA and Israeli satellite has never posted that image!

Decatur Guy

Israel is an artificial state created for the sole purpose of a nefarious scheme. Her days are numbered.

<>

Saddam shot Scuds over here 30 years ago, thinking it was also the right decision and that we wouldn’t respond. What he didn’t know back then, is that we prepared our Jericho missiles to vaporize Baghdad if it didn’t stop. What makes you think we won’t do the same to Iran if they shoot ballistic missiles too? we certainly will.

Rhodium 10

Sadam only had 150 unaccurate old Scud in his arsenal….nothing to compare with Iran which have thousands ( included accurate cruise missile and long range drones)…Iran can substain a campaign for many months launching missile vs Israel from its own soil…while Israel cannot avoid it!..for other side Israel know that Iran have nukes…Iranians are close to Korean nuclear development and to use nuclear test site inside NK…

Degrelle

You aren’t cool and nobody is afraid of you, especially after 2006. All you have is big talk and pigeon chesting, and nothing tangible to show for it other than a lost war and your soldiers wetting themselves and refusing to advance. The most cowardly people on the face of the earth.

<>

Want to try us then? easier to say than do it.

Degrelle

Nobody wants to try you. Nobody wants anything to do with you, that’s the whole point. Unlike your people, decent people do want to kill others and steal from them. The problem is that you people want to keep attacking everyone else. Your people invaded and stole all of the territory that they currently control, and continue terrorize the people in the giant open air prisons you created, on a daily basis. Your people have attacked and/or invaded every country that they border multiple times, and continue to attack them to this very day. You are the problem. Nobody has ever attacked you other than in self defense or in the defense of others. You people are the only ones who want to “try” anyone, and then you cry when they defend themselves.

God Bless Iran for fighting the US Imperialist and Isreal Wandering Jews

ro.niccolosi

Why not 2021?

cechas vodobenikov

incompetent US military ignores trump —amerikans may be stupid but their generals are not; this is why they pay their colonies money to fight for them Israel, UK, Denmark, ISIS, al Qaeda

Potato Man

US blame Iran for many things which are not true…add this one to that list, nothing new and any-one with 2 brain cells can see Fat pig cashing in before losing power for good. Fat pig only got money from Wahhabi States and Zion, he doesn’t have much support at home. <- who knew about Fat pig before Trump…no-one. Including what happened to Iraq and US role…yeah nah. Iran would be fine, nor EU countries dare to fight Iran or Wahhabi Sunnis and ofc nor Satan's children Zion – that fight to last American morons alike of Trump supporters.

It is also funny how Trump now backstabbing his own supporters – "We love you, but you need to go home" to "Those people in D.C Capitol were not my supporters". I do feel bad for him…but the same time that what's happens when you make deal with the devil (Zion) Trump. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/62a6da283fe076024d32a3badec50d67ce4735f6231063cb5d4c69808a890a0f.png

the jews in palestine are toast whatever the morons in the white house do or don’t do. I suspect the morons are more or less aware that the jews in palestine can’t be saved and that’s why they will allow the tribe to be evicted from this planet earth for good.. palestine belongs to the palestinians and not a band of thieving and murdering and lying jews.

Serg The Purge

Pompeo is running this policy all on his own, Trump is too busy with the reflection results (steal) and impeachment. No, Biden will not seek reproach, he is not Obama. He is a puppet. The Deep State will resume full blast it’s anti-Assad policy, which by default means anti-Iran. In addition to tougher anti-Russia.

China will see it’s relations improve a lot more with the US. Pivot to Asia DOD policy will slow down considerably. And although the brinkmanship against North Korea will subside, no US troops will leave South Korea.

Remember Biden is not Obama. Obama maintained a semblance of independent judgement, despite going along with Regime changes. Bud Biden… He is a Puppet, 100%. America is now a full blown Banana Republic.

cechas vodobenikov

Obama: as independent as an Oreo ready be consumed by a 10 year old in sektor Gaza

Fog of War

Lets just stop the ” flexing ” and get it on. Why waste humanity’s time ?

cechas vodobenikov

US flexing LGBT muscles; they require military dictatorship to control violent savage sexually repressed peasants–most violent/non-violent crime and rape per capita of all nations what favors does Tommy provide jens in exchange for his LSD?
