The ongoing war in Iran is highlighting a widening gulf between center and center-left voters in Israel and Democrats in the United States. While Democrats in the United States are mostly opposed to the war, Israelis are overwhelmingly supportive of the effort. https://x.com/YairZivan/status/2031809459555565720

Iran is a regime that openly calls for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish state, a regime that funds terrorist proxies across the Middle East, a regime that brutally represses its own citizens, supplies weapons to Russia’s war machine, and has spent decades attempting to destabilise democracies far beyond its borders.

Lebanon's security and military forces have not taken widespread action to implement the government's directives outlawing Hizbullah's military wing. Hezbollah has over 1,000 long-range missiles to continue to hammer Israel's home front, in addition to potentially tens of thousands of shorter-range missiles. On Wednesday, they launched 200 rockets at Northern Israel. https://www.memri.org/reports/fury-lebanon-after-hizbullah-joins-war-it-mercenary-arm-iran-its-secretary-general-must-be, https://www.timesofisrael.com/hezbollah-fires-at-least-150-rockets-at-north-iran-launches-missiles-in-integrated-operation/ and https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-889682

 America at War

>Was this legal? How did it conform with the Constitution’s unequivocal language granting Congress the exclusive authority to declare war? Straight Arrow News' Eva Fedderly explores those questions.

>One can support the decapitation of the Iranian regime and military and reducing the Iranian threat to America and Israel – while also being concerned that President Trump lacks a clear strategy and objectives in the war. https://www.contrariannews.org/p/whats-driving-the-partisan-divide

>>Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die'  https://people.com/trump-says-i-guess-americans-should-worry-about-iran-attacks-11920588  In London on Friday, armed police arrested four men suspected of spying for Iran and allegedly targeting synagogues as well as Jewish individuals. An Iranian man has been stabbed while attending an anti-IRGC protest in London tonight.  In Canada: Iran has directed lethal threats and harassment at dissidents and diaspora communities. Iran is responsible for a foiled assassination plot against former Justice Minister Irwin Cotler and has hired outlaw bikers and international organized crime groups to target activists and journalists.
--------
>>Please see these excellent briefings on the war. Israel's goals are clear: eliminate the threat of nuclear attacks, ballistic missiles, and terrorist proxy threats. These deep thinkers provide good explanations for the US to be at war with Iran, but President Trump has not made this case.

--------
A group of six House Democrats introduced an alternative war powers resolution on Iran, which — rather than demanding an immediate end to the ongoing U.S. operation — would give the administration 30 days in which to either end the campaign or come to Congress to seek approval for continued strikes. Moderate House Democrats pitch alternative war powers resolution on Iran

Egypt's initial stance upon launch of US-Israel offensive against Iran: Support for Iran

>US grants waiver to allow India to buy Russian oil amid Iran war
>US asks Ukraine for interceptor drones designed to destroy Iranian Shaheds
>Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces

Hamas and PFLP have published eulogies, praising Iran's tyrant as a great "leader and guide" who was at the forefront of the struggle to "eliminate the Zionist project" with "courageous resistance" and support of Hamas in its Oct. 7 war on Israel. The PA worries Iran war will "erase" Palestinian issue. 

Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, and the UAE strongly condemned the indiscriminate targeting of civilians by the regime in Iran. Qatar to CNN: Iran must pay a price: A Qatar Foreign Ministry spokesperson told CNN that Iran must pay the price for its blatant attacks against their people, saying such an attack cannot go unanswered. Do you think that they now agree that Israel's responses to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran was exercising its right to self-defense and to deter aggression against Israelis?
