Blinken on Supporting Israel if Iran Attacks: We’ll Focus on Ceasefire, Want to Ensure Conflict ‘Doesn’t Spread’
Breitbart ^ | 08/01/2024 | Ian Hanchett

During an interview with CNA on Wednesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken responded to a question on how far the U.S. will go to defend Israel from attacks from Iran after Israel’s reported killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh by stating that since October 7, “one of the things that we’ve been focused on is trying to make sure that the conflict that emerged in Gaza doesn’t spread, doesn’t go to other places, doesn’t escalate, and we’re going to continue to do that as well. Now, again, the best way to bring the temperature down everywhere and to put us on a better path is through a ceasefire in Gaza.” And America’s focus “will very much remain on” a ceasefire.

Host Teresa Tang asked, “The Iranian president has responded. I just want to read you some of his comments. He has vowed to make Israel regret the killing, saying that it’s Iran’s duty to avenge his death. How do you prevent retaliation against Israel, and should there be a major counterattack, how far is the U.S. willing to go in support of Israel?”

In other words, go ahead Iran. We’ve got a strongly worded letter waiting to go.

Clueless as usual. But then, the whole state department has been pro-arab since the forties. They never wanted Israel to exist in the first place.

That’s another way of saying he won’t support Israel.

Blinken is Nellville where he should be Churchill, and Churchill where he should be Nellville. Wishy washy. He emboldens our enemies.

“Ensure Conflict ‘Doesn’t Spread” = Give the terrorist the green light to attack Israel because we’ll stop Israel from responding or defending themselves!!!!

WHO you gonna ‘focus’ on winkin blinken? Iran? Gonna tell them to stand down.

Or, are you going to continue to deny Israel contracted and paid for JDAMs so they can take out the arsenals stored by Hezbollah, supplied by.... Iran.

Woo-woo choo choo— YOU lit the freaking fire,you and that idiot Biden and YES— Ka-MA-la the magic Indian pro Palestinian. Really what kind of SecState are “je-you”— a Soros owned one, and mil=industrial whore.

Clown is still talking about Gaza. Israel is already past Hezbollah and now the war is going to be in HQ Tehran. This is like talking about a ceasefire in Poland in 1945.
