Iran considers US 'militarily involved' in Israel's war with Hamas
Jerusalem Post ^ | OCTOBER 16, 2023 11:45 | Staff

An Iranian official said that the US is already involved in the conflict between Israel and Palestinians and must be held to account.

The United States is already heavily involved in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians and must be held to account, an Iranian official said on Monday.

The US is bolstering its firepower in the Middle East in response to war between its ally Israel and the Iranian-backed Palestinian terrorists Hamas amid fears of regional spillover.

Asked if Tehran would engage if the US weighed in, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said: "Iran considers that the United States is already militarily involved in the conflict between Israel and Palestinians."

"The crimes of the Zionist regime are carried out with the support of the United States and Washington must be held accountable," he added at a news conference.

US aircraft carrier in the eastern Mediterranean

The newest US aircraft carrier - also the world's largest - is already in the eastern Mediterranean and is due to be joined by a second US aircraft carrier in coming days.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday the aircraft carriers are not a provocation but a deterrence.

Yes, well the US considers Iran to be “militarily involved” with the Hamas and Hezbollah attacks on Israel. Next?

Everything Biden gets involved in becomes a disaster.

Obama was right about one thing: never underestimate Joe’s ability to mess things up.

I think it’s going to get pretty sporty soon with 3 Carrier groups moving into the neighborhood.

This could be another reason why Israel delayed action. They are waiting for the second carrier to show up

Yep, Biden will get us involved in Israel's war. Bet on it. I should say his advisors will get us involved, Biden is dumber than a pickled squash.

Iran has been at war with us since ‘79. That’s 44 years. Too many of us don’t know it.

The hostage release terms in Teheran must have included a no internal affairs clause on our part. The $6 billion we owed during the Shah was paid by a weak POTUS. They’re still at war.

Outside of aircraft and personnel, how much weaponry can the carriers hold? I keep thinking this may be one way for Biteme to reroute some weapons to Ukraine.

It’s a double whammy.

Biden is utterly and completely incompetent.
And, we have no idea who is actually calling the shots behind the scenes.

If this latest mess turns out decently, it will be due to dumb luck alone.

I was a freshman in college and remember all of the Iranian students being there. One day they were there, the next day they weren’t. At least Jimmah got that part right by sending them home.

I wish we were “involved”, and “committed” to winning the war.... however everyone knows with Sleepy Joe paper tiger at the helm Iran doesn’t have a worry in the world.

Biden desires war to bolster his sagging poll numbers and to further weaken the United States at the behest of his Chinese Overlords.

Which means when the RAT turd rollers move all the Palistinians to America as so-called “refugeez”, ALL AMERICANS will be their enemy and their targets. Better go down to Army Navy and start picking up some Kevlar before it’s all gone. Welcome to the first Middle Eastern war to be held in the U.S.
