Warmongers Start Push For US Involvement In Iran Following Hamas Attack
Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News,
Following the deadly coordinated attack on innocent civilians in Gaza by Hamas terrorists, U.S. hawks have begun their usual warmongering push, looking to reengage America in Middle Eastern conflict.
GOP Senator Lindsey Graham was head of the line, bandying around threats to Iran that “we are all going to come after you” if there is an escalation involving Hezbollah:
To my Israeli friends, do whatever you have to do, for as long as you have to do it.
To Iran, if this war escalates with Hezbollah, we are all going to come after you. pic.twitter.com/xv3RZVcvwl

Iran should pay dearly for any escalation directed at Israel involving Hezbollah.

Graham added that if Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies attempt to attack Israeli defense systems, the United States should immediately target Iranian oil refineries and oil infrastructure, “which is the lifeblood of the Iranian economy.”
The Senator continued, “It is long past time for the Iranian terrorist state to pay a price for all the upheaval and destruction being sown throughout the region and world.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated Sunday that Iran has consistently funded terrorism and groups like Hamas. Ironic, given that the Biden Administration just provided the regime there with an unfrozen $6 billion in aid:

“Iran has unfortunately always used and focused its funds on supporting terrorism, on supporting groups like like Hamas”

Blinken claimed that those funds had nothing to do with the attacks:

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley stated that Hamas has attacked America:
This is not just an attack on Israel—this was an attack on America.
Finish them, @Netanyahu.

It’s only a matter of time before Israel takes it to Iran.
“We suspect that Iran is involved” in the Hamas attack, Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. @AmbHerzog tells @margbrennan.

This could all lead to a full on world war:
If the U.S. and Israel stumble into a conflict with Iran, it will be unlike anything either has faced since the 1970s

It looks like Western media is setting the stage for NATO to attack Iran
I remember the same rhetoric as the U.S. was planning to invade Iraq.

U.S. borders are already an after thought, what would happen if the country becomes embroiled another military misadventure?
It is indefensible and evil what happened to Israel.
It is also weird how many American leaders are more passionate about a foreign country than our own border invasion.
Pay attention.
