🇺🇸🇸🇾🚨 💥BREAKING: US FORCES LAUNCH AIR STRIKES ON SYRIAN FACILITIES, CLAIMS STRIKES IN RESPONSE TO IRANIAN AGGRESSION💥

The United States Department of Defense announced late Thursday it had launched strikes against two supposed Iranian Revolutionary Guard Facilities in Syria.

According to the statement, US Forces launched the strikes in response to recent assaults on illegal US Bases in Syria and Iraq.

"Today, at President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces conducted self-defense strikes on two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups," the statement from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reads.

"These precision self-defense strikes are a response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups that began on October 17."

According to the statement, 1 US citizen defense contractor died and 21 US Military personnel suffered minor injuries.

The statement goes on to claim the US has no interest in "engaging in hostilities" but attacks on US bases, legal or illegal, "are unacceptable and must stop."

The statement goes on to claim though Iran "hides" and "denies" its role in these attacks, but "we will not let them. If attacks by Iran’s proxies against U.S. forces continue, we will not hesitate to take further necessary measures to protect our people."

Lloyd Austin's statement goes on claim US strikes against Syria are, "intended solely to protect and defend U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria," without ever mentioning the illegal nature of the US occupation of parts of Eastern Syria, nor the $100+ billion in Syrian oil the United States has stolen.

The DoD statement ends by saying, " We continue to urge all state and non-state entities not to take action that would escalate into a broader regional conflict."

I want people to know I’m aware there are more atrocities happening around the globe that’s why I really do want to heavily pursue and encourage a growing international humanitarian solidarity movement that can tactically combat all these interlocking problems together. Ik I probably do not know all the genocides happening and don’t talk about all the ones I do know about. But I’m very aware those struggles are likely existing and I do hope and I’m determined in this moment for a different approach to gobal organizing efforts in the future but i don’t really like going too much into the politics I do offline at the moment cuz I’m still getting my own shit together if i don’t die young i hope I’ll be in more of a position to br able to achieve some of my goals

[uraandri]

this is once again the result of westerners not seeing anybody from the gobal south/east as genuine human being but more as political or moral concepts and ideas. hetalia fan behaviour

there is a very specific dissonance among western leftists on this site who flip flop from a country being uniquely evil or uniquely good depending on whether or not another country it is almost at war with is considered good or bad

🇮🇱🇵🇸 💥 ISRAEL SEALS OFF GAZA, DISMANTLING THE CITY BLOCK BY BLOCK 💥

American media is reporting Tuesday that Israel has completely sealed off all Gaza crossings, preventing civilians from leaving before destroying the strip block by block, village by village, checkpoint by checkpoint.

On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in his second address to Israeli and International media since the Hamas-led Operation Al-Aqsa Flood began on Saturday, told the people of Gaza and the world that Palestinians must leave if they wanted to survive the coming Israeli assault.

Meanwhile, Israel has sealed off all border crossings out of the territory and air strikes targeted near the Gaza-Egypt border checkpoint by the IAF [Israeli Air Force] on Monday and Tuesday compelled the Egyptians to close off the last remaining crossing out of the Gaza Strip.

With Gaza's crossings shut down and all food, medicine, fuel, water and electricity totally cut off, Gazans are now completely at the mercy of Israeli Defense Forces as they dismantle Gaza city block by block, building by building, and brick by brick using an array of offensive missiles, bombs, and rockets before the media of the entire world.

Already, according to a statement on Monday from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs [OCHA], more than 123'000 Gazans have been displaced by the bombing of the city and its surrounding territories and according the UN Agency for Palestine refugees [UNRWA], more than half of those displaced by the violence are sheltering in dozens of schools.

Meanwhile, Israeli Forces continue to mobilize and escalate the situation, even as many world leaders call on Israel to show restraint and engage in dialogue with Palestinian officials, instead announcing the IDF had successfully targeted Hamas' Minister of Economy Jawad Abu Shamala.

According to the Israeli media, Israeli Defense Forces have expanded their mobilization of reservists to 360'000 as of Tuesday.

But the IDF isn't only focused on Gaza. After a few lobbies of rockets and missiles back and forth on the Lebanon-Israel border, and a warning from Netanyahu for Israelis to leave Egypt, Israel is preparing for a large-scale conflict on multiple fronts with its various Arab adversaries bordering the country.

The Financial Times reported on Sunday that IDF Forces were "looking to the North" as it mobilizes its forces.

“We are also looking to the North as well with full readiness, and we are fully coordinating with [the US Central Command],” said Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari.

“[Whoever] attacks us all over the Middle East will face a decisive attack back,” he added.

Adding to the sense that the conflict may be beginning to spiral out of control, Israeli Defense Forces claimed they intercepted 4 out 14 rockets fired from the territory of Lebanon on Tuesday evening, with 10 off the landing in "open areas." Lebanese media reported only 10-12 rockets were launched from its territory by Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad [PIJ].

This came just minutes after it was reported IDF Forces fired artillery at rocket-launch positions within Lebanese territory.

This all comes on the heals of a joint statement issued by the Biden Administration in conjunction with France's President Macron, Chancellor Scholz of Germany, President Meloni of Italy and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of the UK reaffirming their support for Israel's apartheid government.

"We make clear that the terrorist actions of Hamas have no justification, no legitimacy, and must be universally condemned," the statement reads.

"...Our countries will support Israel in its efforts to defend itself and its people against such atrocities. We further emphasize that this is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage," the statement warns.

This didn't stop the powerful Iraqi politician Hadi Al-Amiri, who is a key figure in Iraq's coalition government, from threatening US interests in Iraq if the United States gave support to an offensive by Israeli Forces into Gaza.

"If they intervene, we would intervene…if the Americans intervened openly in this conflict...we will consider all American targets legitimate … and we will not hesitate to target it," al-Amiri said

Al-Amiri leads the Badr Organization, a Shi'ite political organization that the United States claims is close to Iran, that forms part of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces [PMF].

At least 900 Israelis have been killed in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood so far, with over 2'600 injuries according to Israeli officials.

Palestinian authorities have said some 830 Palestinians have lost their lives in the bombardment of Gaza so far, with more than 4'250 wounded.

There's no sign yet of any end to the fighting coming as Israel continues to prepare for an offensive and Hamas refuses to negotiate as long as the bombing of Gaza continues.

This is so sad.......if you take an eagles eggs.. you get fined in the thousands and potentional face jail time.. and yet killing a human embryo is fine? You all promote gobal warning and saving the planet and yet have no compassion for a human baby. Our society is so dehumanized. & I love listening to people’s explanations for abortions it’s always rape.. but truly how much of the percentage is actually rape.? I’ve spoken to a lot of women who have told me they regret their decision to have an abortion and later after having kids could never imagine doing it again. You all propagate hate. And want to make people feel less. That’s your agenda. Well I’m not one of those woman you can manipulate with your lies. I’m Hispanic I wasn’t born in the US but I’m thankful for this country. For everything it’s given me. For making me a citizen and I’m not playing into your identity politics that you use to keep people oppressed.

White Evangelical Christians are on the front-lines of America’s ‘pro-life’ movement. But not so long ago this group was disinterested in abortion and largely apolitical. They’re a crucial faction of Donald Trump’s base, motivating him to further restrict abortion rights across the country. So how did it all change?
