After Iran's attack on Israel, the Biden White House is desperately trying to avert a wider war in the Mideast

The Biden administration’s monthslong effort to avert a full-blown war between Israel and Iran is now being put to the most difficult test yet after Tehran on Tuesday launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel.

The administration has worked around the clock for the past year trying to avoid a direct clash between its ally Israel and Iran. But now, administration officials are facing a potential worst-case scenario, as the latest attack by Iran will inevitably trigger a retaliation by the Israeli military. Such a chain reaction could possibly pull in the United States, as it helps to defend Israel, and other countries in the region.

Well those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Is the White House trying to get Iran to agree to a cease-fire? Trying to rein in Iran at all?

Or are they just trying to convince Israel to lay back and accept their beating?

Madame Vice President, we are at war!

Vice president and Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris has set an impressive bar for word salad.

But in one recent, exceptional statement, she was crystal-clear in her ignorance:

Vice President Kamala Harris declared on a debate stage in Philadelphia that “As of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world, the first time this century.”

In addition to ignoring U.S. troops offshore serving in combat situations, she and her MSM cheering squad have overlooked the most direct threat from a nation-state on American soil since the attack on Pearl Harbor.

But finally, the truth will out.

Even NBC and many other mainstream domestic and international news organizations have now reported on the state of Iran having an ongoing attempt to try and kill our former president and commander-in-chief, Donald Trump.

Top U.S. intelligence officials briefed former President Donald Trump on Tuesday about threats from Iran to assassinate him, a Trump campaign spokesperson said.

“President Trump was briefed earlier today by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence regarding real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States,” spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement.

Iran is now trying to make a direct attack on U.S. soil. Such a move transcends state-sponsored terrorism: Iran has crossed a threshold and is committing an act of war.

Biden’s peace plan for the Middle East is telling Israel not to do anything when they’re attacked.

I predicted four years ago that tolerating *VOTE FRAUD* which allowed this idiot to take power, would result in massive world wide bloodshed.

Took longer than I expected, but here we are.

Thought the idiot would get us into war with Russia or China first, but Iran was also on my list.

The Biden WH (Joe is sleeping) is probably throwing more money at Iran while threatening Israel if they touch their beloved Ayatollah.
Why should we expect them to change? We’re ruled by anti-semitic and racist totalitarian Marxists.

Probably loading up the C17s with more cash for Iran and an emergency spending bill for Raytheon and the bomb makers.

Cash Flown to Iran
According to multiple sources, the United States has flown pallets of cash to Iran on at least two occasions:

January 2016: As part of a prisoner swap, the Obama administration secretly airlifted $400 million in cash (euros, Swiss francs, and other currencies) to Iran on an unmarked cargo plane. The payment coincided with the release of four American prisoners held in Tehran.
January 2016 (again): Another $400 million in cash was flown to Iran, this time as part of a settlement related to a 1970s military equipment order. The payment was made in cash and flown to Tehran on a cargo plane.
These cash transfers were reportedly used to settle outstanding debts and claims between the two countries. The transactions were carried out in a covert manner, with the cash being flown to Iran on unmarked planes.

It’s worth noting that these events have been extensively reported and verified by reputable sources, including The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and Associated Press Fact Checks.
