The US will deploy additional warships and fighter jets to the Middle East to help defend Israel from possible attacks by Iran and its proxies, the Pentagon said.
Missile defence forces were placed on a state of increased readiness to deploy, the Pentagon said, adding that its commitment to defend Israel was “ironclad”.
Iran’s leader Ayatollah Khamenei has vowed “harsh punishment” against Israel for the assassination of Haniyeh.
Haniyeh, 62, was widely considered Hamas’s overall leader and played a key role in negotiations aimed at reaching a ceasefire in the Gaza war.
How the fuck do you feel about a war where civilian and adults are kidnapped and starved, children take headshots (or worse), there will be no victors, and every “leader” is loathed by 70% of their population but use the war to cling to power? Do you think maybe we should use international law to prosecute the war criminals and try to create peace? Or do you think we should treat it like a sport where we root for our favorite team?
Personally, I care about the whole of Subsaharan Africa more than the Middle East but I’d like to know why this is a very special situation where one side is good.
