  1. Isn't this just a response to the attack Israel did to the Iranian embassy. What did they expect? Now Americans are supposed to get dragged into World War III because Israel doesn't know how to control their genocidal military.

  6. Joe Biden caused this war by showing huge weakness by abandoning our troop and supplies in Afganistan,then lifting the hold on Irans assets that Trump put on.Now this fool has got us envolved in three Wars.He has not just destroyed things here in the U.S. but now is going Global.And he is working on canceling College debt.REALLY

  7. Sorry, the "Persian" Iran war against Israel is very different from the fight in Gaza except for their proxies. The Persian Empire has a history, and they are not a victim of the woke left. They are an Empire that existed way before America existed and will continue until Christs return or the tribulation begins.

  10. Iran is operating out of Damascus..May possibly be why the Isaiah 17:1 prophecy will soon be fulfilled. "The burden of Damascus. Behold Damascus is taken away from being a city, and shall be a ruinous heap."

  19. Jesus come soon!…….. all who have created wars and made the world unstable, may you remember all of us who have suffered so much at the hands of kings, presidents, and so called "leaders" know, your judgement is soon to come! in Jesus name!!!!

  21. Here it comes!! WW3. We cant help ourselves! We have to meddle in the middle east. Oil Oil Oil, gotta protect exxon Mobil and BP oil fields and profits. Another war we help to wage is going to crush our nation.

  24. Iran has 3,000 ballistic missiles dug deep into vast underground mountain rock bunker complexes. Many of these missiles are fitted with highly accurate GPS guidance on their one ton warheads capable of carrying nuclear, chemical and high explosive warheads. Iran has the abillity to produce upwards of a thousand tons of chemical weapons including nerve gases annually. Most CIA analysts believe Iran can produce highly toxic persistent VX nerve gases. Iran can easily produce radiological or "dirty bombs" from radioactive nuclear plant and hospital waste. Iran has extensive technical support from North Korea, China, Russia, India and Pakistan to improve its missiles. Right now, Iran has every incentive to develop a small arsenal of four to six nuclear weapons in the next year. Iran has zero incentive to seek peace with Israel or the United States.

  26. As an American who’s Great Grandfather fought in WW2 and Father in Vietnam and I in Iraq Desert Storm.. I would never fight alongside no Israel nor would I allow my sons to 💯💯

  28. Iran just attacked. Israel will now go after, and try to take out Iran's nuclear facilities.
    And definitely has Biden's, and the rest of the western world's support.

  30. Please read and bump this to the top with your likes. I have an extremely, extremely important message as a person who lives in Israel and without a political positioning of American politics am extremely dismayed at the half-truths released by CNN and numerous other American networks.
    You all know that Israel was attacked on October 7th by Hamas. But what has been all but ignored by CNN and some other networks since then is that Hezbollah attacked Israel on October 8th and has been attacking Israel since then. The degree of attacks are so serious that Israel had to remove its communities on the northern Israeli border with Lebanon and have been evacuated since then until now. Hezbolla = Iran. it is its major proxy along with a Hooties, Syrian militia and forces in Iraq. Iran has been attacking Israel since October 8. It’s incredible nonsense that your “great” Middle Eastern experts in this 10 minute news failed to mention this. Israel attacked and destroyed allegedly a compound with two major Iranian generals whose major role was to supply an arm the Iranian proxies in Syria and Lebanon. And iran has been doing this consistently for years now. Why does CNN not discuss this? The attack in Syria by Israel (alleged Israeli attack) was in the background of all of these things. Why does CNN ignore this?

    I can only conjecture (because I cannot understand any other logical reason) is that CNN is a pro Democrat news service, does not want the Biden (and previously Obama) administration look like it made a mistake with its policy to embrace Iran at the expense of other Middle Eastern Allies. Clearly a huge mistake. Clearly something which I hope the Democrats realise now was a mistake. And if CNN manages not to make this point so clear to the public, they can whitewash this mistake. I would prefer to be a proud Democrat who would stand up high and say we made a mistake but we want to know the facts. Dear CNN editors the truth is essential and is much more important than your political positioning. Stop lying to your public. They deserve better. Be proud Democrats, but keep the truth at the forefront. This whitewash is a lie – not anything less than that.
