    > In April, Mr. Ghalibaf was set to travel to Islamabad to meet with Vice President JD Vance. But Iranian security officials were concerned that Israel would use the opportunity to assassinate Mr. Ghalibaf or Mr. Araghchi to derail the talks, the officials said.

    > Iranians sought guarantees from the United States, through Pakistani and Qatari intermediaries, that Israel would not carry out any covert operations targeting the Iranian delegation, the officials said.

    > Pakistani fighter jets escorted the Iranian airplanes carrying a delegation of more than 70 Iranians from the border of Iran to Islamabad and back again when the session was over.

    > But on the way back to Tehran, an Israeli security threat emerged.

    > Iran’s security forces notified the plane carrying Mr. Ghalibaf back to Tehran that they had picked up intelligence that Israel planned to attack the plane and that two Israeli fighter jets had entered Iran’s airspace from its western border near Iraq, the two officials said.

    > Mahdi Mohammadi, a senior adviser for Mr. Ghalibaf, who accompanied him to Islamabad, confirmed this account on his social media page. The plane made an emergency landing in the city of Mashhad, Iran’s closest airport to the Pakistani border, and the Iranian delegation traveled some eight hours by land back to Tehran, Mr. Mohammadi and the two officials said.

    It's incredible how badly the US has been dog-walked by both its 'ally' as well as Iran.

    "America First" brought to you by "The Peace President"[1].

      There is only so much you can do when you've been purchased by mossad.

        Purchased, blackmailed, threatened, or all 3. There's a lot of tools in the intelligence toolbox.

      im really not convinced israel is an ally, vs a nuclear threat that has had the US by the balls for decades.

      who else has attacked the US navy with the US staying hush hush about it?

        If you frame it as an entity that launders the military industrial complex's desires to test weapons, keep congress beholden, and keep conflicts going forever – then work backwards from there, the allowance of their subversion makes perfect sense, as well as the over the top allegiance of those congresscritters it buys.

        Dunno if that is how it works but I have never been able to square the capitulation in our government without that tie. This is also considering the influence of christian z's.

      America has been Israel's bitch for decades. We send them a dividend payment that covers half their military budget and now are about to merge our military with theirs. We let the Sackler family poison/kill Americans for decades and then use that money to build hospitals in Israel. We let them attack/napalm our sailors and then covered it up, we let Ben Shapiro's uncle steal nuclear materials for Israel's nuclear weapons, we let Israel steal our military intelligence and leak it to our enemy during the Cold War... we literally let Israel blackmail our president over Lewinsky... They regularly assassinate people who get in their way. No surprise people think they killed JFK (who opposed Israel's nuclear proliferation) and Charlie Kirk (who opposed the war with Iran and the pager attack is way too similar to the microphone that appears to have exploded). I wonder why all mentions of Israel were blacked out in the JFK papers and are still withheld to this day? Is it because we'd go apeshit if that became public information and stop letting Israel use us? Go look into James Angleton--he is almost definitely the go between that coordinated the JFK assassination for Israel.

      You’d think he could have done better, what with all that foreign policy experience from his years on The Apprentice.

    Gotta be the most “water is wet” headline I’ve ever read. They literally did this already.

      When you say “water is wet” and someone asks for evidence, now you will have evidence.
      • cramer4next 24 minutes ago
        I don't necessarily look at a newspaper article as evidence. Especially when all the sources are "A U.S. official". Source quaility maters which is consistent with criminal case law.

        We deny with all force this slanderous libel that evil people keep spreading because of their senseless hatred. Water is not just not wet, it's in fact the dryest imaginable substance. We have tested it thoroughly in our laboratories- which as everybody knows are the most advanced in the world- and we have found in it not the slightest amount of wetness. I have personally spoken with the US ambassador about this matter and he reaffirmed the complete trust of his country in the absolute dryness of water.

        But is water still wet?

    Every time I see a photo of Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran, Abbas Araghchi, I instantly think I am looking at a picture of author Nicholas Nassim Talib (Black Swan, Fooled by Randomness).

    Am I the only one?

    Launch an unprovoked attack, do it under cover of negotiation, and then attack diplomatic envoys.

    Belligerence, perfidy, and I don't even know the term for that last part, it's so unheard-of. We have violated rules of warfare that were already old thousands of years ago.

    At what point do we admit we're the bad guys?

    • sbayg 47 minutes ago
      When we killed Kennedy. That was the point we should have admitted being the bad gays.

        I didn't think Iran had internet access except through Russian gateways for the wealthy? Are you by chance in the Cali "Little" Iran district?
      • CamperBob2 55 minutes ago
        No, I'm just forced to pay for it. Why do you ask?

    You mean again because they already attempted to assainate peace negotiators in Doha months ago

    Can't believe that Israel would do something they've done several times already.
    • diogenescynic 22 minutes ago
      They killed their own citizens on October 7th just to pump up the numbers. There are recordings made public where Ben Gvir is ordering more killings. I can't stand how our mainstream media completely ignores all of Israel's crimes. Even when Israelis come here to sexual assault people in Las Vegas, or open biolabs, or steal technology... it's always swept under the rug.
  • diogenescynic 26 minutes ago
    Israel is a deranged country. Just look at Ben Gvir and the things he says. Go translate their tweets into English and see what they say about Palestine. Go look at the YouTube interviews where they state their opinions openly. They believe in racial/religious supremacy and that everyone else is basically a subhuman animal that can be killed if they do not serve their needs. It's medieval. And I don't really see it all that different from the Nazi ideas of a master race. It's really equivalent ideology.

    Israel also doesn't have a constitution and aren't really a democracy so much as a theocracy. It's an apartheid state.

    And Congress is about to merge our military with their military. We are truly completely infiltrated. Doesn't matter who we elect, they always seem to ultimately serve Israel. Bush, Obama, Trump... they're all fighting Israel's wars and enemies and not serving American interests. Americans are slowly waking up and starting to question what's going on but AIPAC still owns nearly every elected official in Congress. That's why the Ellisons bought TikTok and so much media... they want to continue slanting and biasing the news as much as possible. That's also why they want to add age verification--so they can censor real news from teenagers which they think will prevent them from supporting Palestine.
