MISSILE ALERT Emergency alert in Dubai as Iran fires four missiles at UAE for first time since US and Tehran agreed ceasefire https://www.the-sun.com/news/16311280/iran-fires-missiles-dubai-uae/

The US military said Navy guided-missile destroyers are “helping to restore transit for commercial shipping”.

But Tehran slammed the move by Trump and threatened to attack any ships “interfering” with Iranian vessels in the contested strait.

On Tuesday, Tehran made good on its threat and blasted US ships with four missiles.

SHOCK POLL: TRUMP APPROVAL FALLS TO 25% WITH INDEPENDENTS...

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

Shipping companies said on Monday that President Trump’s offer to provide them safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz fell short of the sort of arrangements that would persuade them to make the trip.

Mr. Trump said on Sunday that the United States would “guide” commercial vessels through the strait, which Iran has effectively closed since the war in the Persian Gulf started two months ago. But the president provided few details on how the program, Project Freedom, would work.

On Monday, the United Arab Emirates accused Iran of launching a drone attack on an oil tanker owned by ADNOC, its state oil company, according to the Emirati state news agency.

we have to contain Iran in some manner in a complex situation...Canada's PM said there is no justification for the war on Iran while recognizing that something needed to be done. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/TVanxBYBIfs?feature=share...I do not support Carney but I appreciate his responses here...Iran has been a major sponsor of terrorism. no question. but I am saying that we need to also consider what the west has done over 60 years to take its oil. ' there is justification for action, we were not consulted but it does not appear to be consistent with international law'.

Fact check says your post is wrong.

U.S. Central Command

@CENTCOM

🚫 CLAIM: Iranian state media claims that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hit a U.S. warship with two missiles.

✅ TRUTH: No U.S. Navy ships have been struck. U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports.

Your ridiculous list of what President must do forgot to add the kiss other nations ass tour like Obama. You are showing just how much against President Trump and America you truly are. One other note, why didn't you run for President since you know so much more than President Trump? Why don't you go back to Canada? Because you can't????

And your news about Iran striking back came from what source? What does dry drunkard mean because “eat, drink, and be merry are the fruits of our labor also take a little wine instead of water in your old age for your stomach,” saith the God of Abraham. “I will not drink the fruit from the vine until I come back and drink it with you,” saith the risen Lord, Jesus Christ.

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

the source is there

Iran has been incensed by attacks on Catholics and other Christians in the middle east by the US and Israel.

Israeli forces were reported to have destroyed the historic Maqam Shamoun al-Safa shrine (Shrine of Shamoun al-Safa) in Chamaa village, southern Lebanon, in late March/early April.

This site, known as the shrine of the Apostle of Christ, Saint Peter, is regarded as a sacred site by Islam.

Further, Catholic and other Christian Members of the Iranian Parliament have condemned POTUS Trump over his recent insult to Pope Leo. ("Iranian Christian MPs condemn Trump over insult to Pope" | News.azhttps://share.google/ex9S689bwBTTlYsAk )

And families of over 100 Iranian children killed in the double tap strike by the US on a school in Minab, Iran, have written to Pope Leo, urging him to be the "voice of their voiceless children" and promote peace. Pope Leo confirmed receiving the letter, expressing concern over the tragedy. In their letter, parents asked Pope Leo to act as a "voice" for the victims and to pray for a world free of such violence.

Islam does not give 2 shits about Catholics or Christianity, it's an obstacle to them.

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

Perhaps you are correct but if so, then why are there Chrstian MPs in their parliament and why are they in the BRICS union with predominantly Christian Russia?

I know they are extremely hostile to what they see as fake Christian devil worshippers.

Incidentally, can you explain that statement "even the best of the Gentiles should be killed," attributed to 2nd-century Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai in the Talmudic tractate Abodah Zara 26?

Replying to iron hand.

This is not true actually.

Islam and Judaism are two sides of the same coin. Evil.

Historyy proves otherwise.

Propaganda propagation Doc... I DON'T BLEIVE YOUR REPORT. I hope you are not working for the enemy, in assisting them in demoralizing America. The news agency you are QUOTING, is connected with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp. This from Wikipedia... (surely you cannot deny that you knew this)... "The Fars News Agency is a news agency in Iran that is close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, one of the three branches of the Islamic Republic of Iran Armed Forces. Wikipedia." Some might accuse you of aiding and abetting the enemy, Doc, by lending credence to their lies.

We need to stand down and stop fighting Wars for Israel, Iran did not start this war, we did, by bombing a school full of children and killing almost 200 of them. The Israeli's refuse to send their sons and daughters to fight, while ours die for a land grab. This is pure evil.

“HAMAS and Hezbollah and other terror assets remain and”

Who is continuing to fund these people? How did they get started? Why are they still around?

NOW THERE IS NO CHOICE BUT TO MAKE IRAN A NUCLEAR DESERT-

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

hhhmmm....this is what we are afraid of...we dont want that so we want calmer heads to prevail...seems Iran wants to war...US well capable...no good outcome so they got to sit down...get back to talks...got to find a peaceful way...not blood shed all sides.

What POTUS does is his call but a nuclear submarine with twelve launches simultaneously on twelve islamic temples with conventional firepower should cool their heels. The complete expulsion of all moslems would be the finishing touches.

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

hhhmmm....well doable but that could spurn world war....1.5 billion muslims...they would unite.

Milton Farrow's avatar

THEY ARE AL;READY UNITED WITH A SINGLE PURPOSE ANMD THAT IS TO DOMINATE THE WORLD BY FORCE= IS THERE A FUCKING CHOICE ---=-WHY ARE WE PLAYING LAGOS WITH PEOPLE AREMED WITH AK47'S COMMITTED BY A MANIACAL RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY TO CONVERT US OR MURDER US?

Lynn's avatar

We have a problem in the US. muslims are multiplying here in our Country. Anybody concerned? I just read where they are taking over New Jersey now.

edward's avatar

The way it is Doc is that a dozen atomic subs could wipe out the world with nuclear armament missiles and I mean billions easily.

Lynn's avatar

YOU said it, Edward!

edward's avatar

The only way to deal with bullies is to pound them into submission and remember if they had the same capability they would do it to us.

Lynn's avatar

YOU are exactly right, Edward. They wouldn't think twice.

CENTCOM's Reply: "Quit Lying!"

I'm not sure if that was aimed at Iran or Dr. Alexander.

This was debunked yesterday.

IRan did NOT strike two US warships as you stated. Why do you promote Iran propaganda?

Robert C's avatar

Iran has been stalling while making more missiles.

America First MAGA is a joke.

We pour billions and billions into other countries. They call it soft power? They pour billions and billions into corporations and call it Private Public Partnerships.

Meanwhile, the American people can’t afford to eat real food and have to watch influencers brag about how great their lifestyles are while they eat lobster and drink champagne.

Have we turned into everything we were once against??

Socialism bad for the American people, but good for everyone else??

Reminds me of Obama and the way he treated his African family. Millions for me, but y’all can eat ze bugs 🐛

I agree with you here
