U.S.-Israel likely to restart war this week

• All indicators point towards an imminent continuation of the US-Israel war against Iran. As for the negotiations, they were just a way to buy time for new military mobilization and repositioning, along with an operational pause to assess damages. Trump will hold a meeting with his National Security team on Tuesday, and it is likely he will receive military briefings on potential options for the next strike. For his part, Netanyahu is playing his usual role of pressure and pushing for war, with a plan and commitment to strike economic and energy facilities to destroy them.
• US Central Command Commander: 'I have a passion for preventing civilian casualties on the battlefield; our record in Iran is nearly perfect. We have warned the Iranian public more than 100 times about the danger.' (I guess he was asleep when the US bombed the Minab elementary school in Iran killing at least 175 school children/adults. Just the kind of devilish tactic Israel routinely pulls in Palestine, Yemen and Lebanon.)

• The US Air Force is conducting a massive airlift to bases across West Asia. The last time the Pentagon moved this much military equipment to the region, the war began 72 hours later. In the past 24 hours, large shipments of weapons and ammunition were sent to Israel via US bases in Germany. Israeli Channel 13 reported on May 18 that Israeli cargo planes landed at those bases, were loaded with ammunition, and then returned to Israel.
• A C-40 Clipper aircraft from the US Navy landed at King Salman Air Base in Saudi Arabia from Chania, Greece, as part of recent reinforcements, likely carrying high-level CIA and military officers. Making big attempt to bail out Israel with more war. US-Israel would love to turn Iran into a Gaza look-alike.

• Mohsen Rezaei: 'We will break the American naval blockade. Our patience has limits and the armed forces are preparing. The naval blockade is considered a war. Therefore, this ceasefire is unilateral.' According to Sabereen News from Iraq, Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has appointed Mohsen Rezaei as his military adviser. Rezaei is a member of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and a former commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

• Gaza flotilla: 'Our ships are under attack by Israeli forces. Zionist navy operations are intercepting our sailing ships of the Smoud fleet off the coast of Cyprus, detaining us and transferring us to a ship called a floating prison, then to Ashdod port.' 

• Netanyahu is following the operation to seize control of the Freedom Flotilla, which departed from Turkey heading towards Gaza, from the Navy's command room. During a call with the Navy commander, he praised the forces, stating that they have thwarted a "malicious plan" to break the naval blockade on Gaza, and congratulated the soldiers on successfully and calmly carrying out the operation. 

• Israeli forces from the Golani Brigade were subjected to artillery and rocket fire in the town of Deir Srian, southern Lebanon. The group repeated its strikes 3-4 times. In response, the Israeli Defense Minister admitted that his forces were subjected to prolonged shelling that lasted for several hours. Subsequently, Hebrew media admitted to the killing and wounding of several officers and soldiers, including a captain. The IDF has admitted that 105 soldier casualties in southern Lebanon battles occurred during the last week. Israel's troop levels are beginning to get a bit thin. That is why they love to drop bombs on civilians so often. 

• Reuters: Pakistan deployed a squadron of jet aircraft, 8,000 soldiers, and an air defense system in Saudi Arabia under a new joint defense agreement.
• Reuters: Russia has vowed a devastating retaliation after one of the largest Ukrainian drone attacks targeted the  Moscow region, with Russian officials describing the attack as "a terrorist attack." Reports of explosions, fires, and air defense activity have emerged across the region, as tensions between Kyiv and Moscow continue to escalate. Most of the drones in this several months Ukraine campaign were aimed at civilian apartment high-rises and fuel storage depots. US-NATO-Israel have a multi-front WW3 underway at the present time.  

• Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov: "An obsessive desire that in recent years has already broken through to the slogan to inflict a 'strategic defeat' on Russia, reflecting a long-term, centuries-old strategy, as it now turns out. At some point in our history, after the creation of the UN, the OSCE and the disappearance of the Soviet Union, the prospects for coexistence and even cooperation with the West seemed very realistic to us. All this has gone into oblivion. Open war has been declared on us. For this, the Kyiv regime is used as a 'tip' [of the spear]. But everyone knows that this 'tip' is helpless without material filling with Western weapons, intelligence, satellite systems, assistance in the training of military personnel and much more - everyone knows this. The Kiev regime and the Ukrainian state are openly being used as a geopolitical battering ram. Here some outspoken guys, I think, in the Belgian General Staff, publicly stated that they were preparing for a war with Russia, that Ukraine was helping them buy time. As they say, much more frankly."

• Iranian Police Chief: More than 6,500 spies have been arrested since the beginning of the war until now.
• Marco Rubio calls for 'reexamination' of the US relationship to NATO 'once the conflict in Iran is over'. He asks 'Why should the US continue to spend billions, trillions on these bases but when we need help from NATO we don't get it'? The real reasons for this announcement could be that the US can't afford 800 military bases around the world anymore. It is a crashing military empire. Stars & Stripes (military media) reports Poland and South Korea are the only foreign countries with strong public support for hosting US military bases, according to a new poll that found opposition to the idea in 90 of 97 countries surveyed. People around the world want the US out of their countries.  

• On April 15th, Declassified UK published a bombshell investigation exposing how in the mid-1990s, senior British political and military officials were well-aware NATO expansion into Central and Eastern Europe “would provoke [the] Russians,” and likely trigger all-out war. Hitherto unreported Ministry of Defence files reveal London knew Moscow’s “sensitivities” over a “hostile military alliance” enlarging up to its borders were profound, and based on very “real” concerns. Yet, NATO’s dangerous crusade to absorb Central and Eastern Europe continued apace, ultimately producing the Ukraine proxy conflict.
• Meanwhile, Iran destroyed 228 US military structures in the Middle East during Trump’s earlier miscalculations. 

• Yemeni air defenses shot down another American MQ-9 drone in Safer, Marib. Yemen has shot down near 30 of these intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance super drones in the last year. Yemen is proving to be a strong ally of Palestine, Iran and Lebanon. MQ-9 drones cost more than $35 million each. 

• An empty British military vehicle was destroyed by a Russian drone in Sumy, Ukraine. The British have been deep in the Ukraine war since the start. They have given funds that were often stolen, they trained Ukie troops in England, and they have sent lots of military hardware and 'trainers' as well. Soon after the start of the war Russia and Ukraine signed a peace treaty at meetings held in Turkey. But then UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson flew in and demanded that the western puppet Zelensky back out. The war has been going on ever since. The banksters in London like all of these current war$.
