Hamas swims to Iran

Senior members of the terrorist organization Hamas met on Monday with representatives of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran, and agreed to forge closer ties with the military force under direct supervision of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. 

The delegation was in the Islamic Republic to attend the inauguration of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani as part of a broader strategy to “turn a new page in bilateral relations” between Iran and the terror organization, according to a statement by Hamas, The Times of Israel reported. Saudi-based media sources reported that members of Hamas, which are in control of the group’s military activities, also met with representatives of the IRGC and discussed “common issues.” 

This is the first time that senior Hamas members visited Iran since the election of a new leadership in 2017. Having broken off relations with Hamas in the summer of 2015, after the group’s refusal to support Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria and their links to Saudi Arabia, Iran appeared in May to be signaling a renewal of funding to the group. This renewed commitment came at the same time that Hamas elected Ismail Haniyeh as replacement for Khaled Mashaal as the group’s political chief over rival Moussa Mohammed Abu Marzook, with whom Tehran had a much cooler relationship.

Cartoon Published by Fatah Compares Israel with Islamic State

A cartoon published on the website of a branch of the Palestinian Fatah party draws a comparison between Israel and the Islamic State terror group.

Iran accuses Israel of hiring assassins to take out nuclear scientists

Iranian rep. at International Atomic Energy Agency describes Israel as a threat to entire Middle East, claims it targeted Iranian experts and criticizes Israel for not joining Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Iranian Envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Reza Najafi accused Israel on Thursday of being behind the assassinations of several scientists working on Iran's nuclear energy plan. “While nuclear scientists all across the Middle East have been assassinated by the terrorists hired by this regime, the nuclear experts of this regime have access to the nuclear facilities of some countries of the region,” said Najafi. The Iranian representative also criticized Israel for repeatedly ignoring international calls to join the global Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. “Unfortunately, the Zionist Regime has ignored the rightful requests of the international community in the last years, and having the blind support of some western countries and with infringing all international laws and regulations, has pushed its dangerous military nuclear program forward,” added Najafi.  Read the full story HERE!

I am shocked, shocked to learn Israel 
would assassinate Iranian Nuclear scientist.   
Reminds me of that scene from Casablanca:

Will Israel and the Arab States become Allies as the threat from Iran grows?

History is replete with examples of old enemies becoming allies when faced with a common foe.  As the power of Iran grows and the Islamic state spreads it tentacles into Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and of course Gaza and the West Bank there seems to be a growing closeness between Israel and the Arab States.  a

General Michael Flynn puts Iran on Notice, following missile launch and attacks in Persian Gulf

Finally we have a President at the White House who will stand up to the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the Middle East--Iran.  Just today General Michael Flynn, Trump's National Security Advisor announced the Trump administration was putting Iran on notice.  He was responding to the Houthi Rebel's attack on a Saudi warship in the Persian Gulf and the most recent Iranian launching of an intermediate range missile---just one of many since the signing of the Iranian Nuke deal.  Former President Barack Obama said little about the Iranian Missile launching which are a clear violation of that agreement and refused to take any action against the Islamic Republic even after they captured an American Patrol Boat and humiliated the crew.  Apparently President Trump has drawn a red line---a real one this time----and told Iran not to cross it.

The coming War between Israel and Iran

I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T POINT OUT WHAT IS ALMOST CERTAINLY AN UNSPOKEN TRUTH.  THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL WILL NOT SIT  BACK AND QUIETLY WAIT FOR THE AYATOLLAHS TO DEVELOP A NUKE THAT WILL MOST ASSUREDLY  BE USED ON THEM ONE DAY.  NO THE OBAMA DEAL WITH IRAN WILL NOT PREVENT WAR AS THE MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE DECLARES, BUT WILL NECESSARILY GUARANTEE A ISRAELI ATTACK ON THE PERSIAN STATE AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE BEFORE THAT TERRORIST STATE GETS THE BOMB.
