The Middle East is on Fire. The Biden Administration is at fault 100%. It is Biden and the Democrats that allowed Iran to build a massive war chest selling oil. It is the Dmeocrats who gave Iran billions of dollars directly, to help them pay their militia forces and terror groups of Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah. Therefore, the Democrats are directly responsible for all war in the region.
President Biden is set to convene with his national security team in the Situation Room on Monday to discuss a looming Iranian attack on Israel. This meeting follows a call between Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III and Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, reaffirming U.S. support for Israel amid escalating tensions with Iran and its proxies. These tensions threaten to broaden the conflict after ten months of battles with Hamas militants in Gaza.

Austin and Gallant reviewed U.S. military measures aimed at enhancing protection for U.S. forces in the region, supporting Israel’s defense, and reducing overall regional tensions. This discussion coincided with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declaration to his Cabinet that Israel is engaged in a “multi-front war” with Iran and its proxies.
Tensions have peaked following the recent killings of a senior Hezbollah commander in Lebanon and a top Hamas political leader in Iran. Iran and its allies have blamed Israel for these actions and have threatened retaliation. Hamas announced it is considering a new leader in light of these events. Netanyahu assured that Israel is prepared for any outcome. Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi made an uncommon visit to Iran as part of diplomatic efforts, stating, “We want the escalation to end.”
Additionally, Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned his counterparts that Iran and Hezbollah might attack Israel as soon as Monday, according to Axios. General Michael Erik Kurilla, head of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), is expected to arrive in Israel on Monday to coordinate defense preparations for the expected attack, per the Times of Israel.

In Israel, citizens are preparing bomb shelters, recalling Iran’s direct military assault in April following a suspected Israeli strike that killed two Iranian generals. Israel reported that nearly all incoming drones, ballistic, and cruise missiles were intercepted during that attack.
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), stated, “For years, Iran has been arming and financing terrorist organizations across the Middle East, including smuggling explosives into Israeli territory for terror attacks against civilians. The IDF and ISA have already thwarted numerous attacks involving Claymore-type explosives smuggled into the country. We are determined to continue acting against Iranian terrorism wherever it may be.”
The current conflict in Gaza began with Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel, resulting in the deaths of approximately 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and the kidnapping of around 250 individuals. Israel’s severe retaliation has led to the deaths of nearly 40,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry, which does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.

Intense airstrikes and ground operations have caused massive destruction and displaced the majority of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents.
