US condemns 'unnecessary escalation' after Israeli airstrikes on Syrian airbase

 The United States has issued a rare rebuke of Israel after reports emerged it struck a Syrian military airbase near the Turkish border, calling the attack an "unnecessary escalation".

Eight airstrikes hit the Abu Duhur airport runway and storage facility on Tuesday, according to Syrian state TV, although there were no reports of injuries.

Israel, while not commenting on the strikes directly, said Syria "was on the verge of breaching" the security status quo, accusing Damascus of allowing Turkish troops to deploy to the airbase.

Syria and Turkey blamed the Israeli military for the attacks that they said threaten to escalate tensions in the region. Tom Barrack, the US ambassador in Turkey, who was also appointed as Donald Trump's special envoy for Syria and Iraq, criticised the attacks in a statement posted on social media.

"We are deeply concerned that the confirmed Israeli airstrikes on Abu al-Duhur Airbase constitute an unnecessary escalation that does not advance regional stability," Barrack wrote on X. The office of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu published a statement: "Israel and Syria agreed to a status quo in security matters, which Syria was on the verge of breaching by permitting Turkish troops to deploy at an airbase near Aleppo."

Syria's foreign ministry called the attacks "an unjustified act of aggression" imperilling regional "security and stability". Turkey, meanwhile, did not confirm whether any of its troops moved to the Abu Duhur airbase, which sits 70km from the Turkish border. However, Ankara rejected Israel's suggestion that it posed a threat.

"The frivolous allegations put forward by the Israeli Prime Minister's office aim to legitimize Israel's unlawful airstrikes targeting Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Turkey's Communications Directorate said in a statement quoted by the Anadolu state news agency.

The Iranians Threaten to Go on the “Offensive” Against the United States and Israel If Their Demands Are Not Met In 3 To 4 Weeks

Michael Snyder - https://endoftheamericandream.com/the-iranians-threaten-to-go-on-the-offensive-against-the-united-states-and-israel-if-their-demands-are-not-met-in-3-to-4-weeks/#google_vignette

Iran could end this war tomorrow if they truly wanted to do so. The Trump administration is more than willing to sit down and negotiate, and they have let the Iranians know that they are willing to make enormous concessions. But the lunatics that are running Iran are not interested. They truly believe that they are winning the war, and they are demanding that the U.S. must comply with every single one of the outrageous demands that they are making. If the Trump administration will not do this, the Iranians have warned that they will keep the Strait of Hormuz closed for Trump’s entire term, and that would put extreme pressure on the global economy. And now it appears that Iran is not content to just hold the global economy hostage. It is being reported that Iran has issued an absolutely shocking ultimatum to the United States. If the Trump administration does not agree to all of Iran’s demands in a matter of weeks, Iran will go on the offensive against the United States and Israel. This is not just some random Internet rumour.

Shifting Geopolitical Landscape: Examining The ‘Abraham Accords’ Through a Biblical Lens

By Mark Henry - https://harbingersdaily.com/a-shifting-geopolitical-landscape-examining-the-abraham-accords-through-a-biblical-lens/

“Father Abraham had many sons…” This beloved Christian children’s song recalls God’s promise in Genesis 12 to make Abraham a great nation and ultimately bless “all the families of the earth,” which was fulfilled through Jesus. Unfortunately, some mistakenly assume this blessing teaches God’s universal acceptance of all people regardless of faith. Scripture clarifies that spiritual sonship comes exclusively through faith in Christ, not ethnic background (Ga. 3:6-29).

This same misunderstanding of God’s covenant shows up in modern politics, most notably in the diplomatic agreements known as the “Abraham Accords.”

The Three Musketeers Of Islam: Saudi Arabia, Turkey And Pakistan Are Building A Military Alliance That Will Soon Find Itself Standing Against Israel And Jerusalem

The Telegraph has dubbed the emerging partnership between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan “The Three Musketeers”, invoking the famous slogan “all for one, one for all,” and there is something almost darkly humorous about the comparison.

On the surface, this is being presented as another strategic defense arrangement designed to strengthen regional security in an increasingly unstable world. But when you look at the three nations involved, the military power they represent, their relationship to the Islamic world, and their individual attitudes toward the Jewish state, it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine that Israel will not eventually become one of the primary objects of this alliance.

UK 'supports Ukraine 100%', Burnham says, after Russia's drone warning

  UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said London will continue "to support Ukraine 100%", after Moscow warned of "consequences" following confirmation that British-made drones were used in recent Ukrainian strikes in Russia.

"We are not fair-weather friends, we will be there in Ukraine's hour of need and that won't change," he said.

The Russian embassy in the UK earlier accused Britain of "deliberately opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis", saying "the deeper its involvement in the conflict... the higher the price it will pay".

Kyiv has stepped up long-range attacks on Moscow and other Russian regions, targeting oil refineries and warehouses of the largest online retailer Wildberries.

Asked on Tuesday about the Russian threat, Burnham maintained that the UK was "providing support so that Ukraine can defend itself and that's been the British position all the way through this conflict, by previous prime ministers - it remains the case with me".

The Trump Superstore Is Closing Because The People Have Stopped Coming, And It’s The Perfect Metaphor For His Rapidly Collapsing MAGA Presidency

  As Trump’s Poll Numbers Collapse And MAGA Voters Walk Away, The Shuttering Trump Superstore Becomes The Perfect Metaphor For A Presidency Built On Broken Promises

Sometimes a single photograph tells the entire story. Standing beside Interstate 40 in Tennessee is a giant red banner announcing that the Trump Superstore is “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS,” with everything marked down 50 percent. It is more than the closing of another roadside novelty shop, far from it. It's the Trump presidency in one brutally honest picture. 

Our 16th president Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time". Trump's 'moment in the sun' appears to be darkening into night, and that's bad news for the American people as our national ship becomes rudderless.

ISRAEL IN THE CROSSHAIRS: THE PROPHETIC PRESSURE IS BUILDING

  

ISRAEL IN THE CROSSHAIRS: THE PROPHETIC PRESSURE IS BUILDING

There is a reason I continually tell people who study Bible prophecy to keep their eyes on Israel. It is not because every conflict involving Israel fulfills a prophecy, nor because we should take every newspaper headline and try to force it into a Bible verse. It is because God has already told us where history is going. When we understand that prophetic framework, we can look at what is happening in the Middle East and recognize when the geopolitical environment begins moving toward the conditions Scripture says will eventually exist.

Are We Closer To Nuclear War Than Ever Before?

It appears that most of the population has become way too apathetic about the threat of nuclear war. There are people on social media that cheer as both sides continue to escalate the conflict in Ukraine, and there are people on social media that are openly advocating for nuclear weapons to be used in the Middle East. I don’t think that such people actually understand the immense destructive power of modern nuclear weapons. Even a limited nuclear exchange would kill millions, and an all-out nuclear war would cause a nuclear winter that could kill billions. Unfortunately, it appears that we are now closer to nuclear war than ever before.
