KeymasterDefense Secretary Lloyd Austin, America’s top defense official, vowed to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to counter its “dangerous use” of suicide drones in the wider Mideast.
At an event put on by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, he stated, “… if Iran isn’t willing to engage seriously, then we will look at all of the options necessary to keep the United States secure…Our potential punch includes what our friends can contribute and what we have prepositioned and what we can rapidly flow in.”

KeymasterIsraeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett urged world powers to take a hard line against Iran in negotiations aimed at reviving an international nuclear deal.
“Iran must begin to pay a price for its violations.”
Israeli spy chief David Barnea headed to Washington late on Saturday for a previously unannounced trip and Defence Minister Benny Gantz will leave on Wednesday for meetings with his US counterpart Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Foreign Minister Yair Lapid was in London and Paris last week to discuss the talks with Israel’s European allies.

InactiveIsrael is the only nation in the Middle East that possess atomic bombs. I can have them, but you can not have them. Fidel Castro said that the USA wants others countries to possess Machetes while they have the monopoly of modern weapons, the same things can be applicable to Israel

KeymasterI can’t help but think of the convenience of the timing of this story as the nuclear talks reach a crtical stage

Isn’t it strange it was the British embassy in UAE, one of the Saudi Arabia’s coalition partners that briefed the media, not London
As for SAMs being found, aren’t these defensive weapons?

KeymasterCommentator Chris Hedges speculates
“The United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia are plotting a war with Iran. The 2015 Iranian nuclear arms accord, or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which Donald Trump sabotaged, does not look like it will be revived. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is reviewing options to attack if Teheran looks poised to obtain a nuclear weapon and Israel, which opposes U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations, carries out military strikes.”
