Netanyahu: Syria was on verge of deploying Turkish troops—Israel warned against it

Aug. 19, 2026 / JNS) Syria was on the verge of breaching the status quo in security matters by permitting the deployment of Turkish troops at an airbase near Aleppo, Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement on Tuesday night.

Overnight Monday, the Abu al-Duhur Military Airbase in Idlib in northwestern Syria reportedly came under attack. Syrian authorities accused Israel of carrying out the offensive.

“Israel repeatedly warned Syria that such a deployment would pose a threat to Israel’s security. Syria chose to ignore these warnings,” the PMO continued, apparently referencing the strikes.

Canada-Israel relations are the worst they have ever been, ambassador says

Israel’s ambassador to Canada Iddo Moed says the government-to-government relationship between the two countries is the worst it’s ever been, summing up what he describes as a “long impasse” in ties strained during his country’s war with Hamas.

The flashpoint has been Gaza, which is in the grip of a severe humanitarian crisis after more than two years of war between Israel and Hamas. Israel was attacked by Hamas militants in an October, 2023, assault that left around 1,200 people dead and about 250 taken hostage.

425 Groups With CCP Ties Are Getting $1B Annually to Organize Against Israel and the U.S.

Over 400 organizations that explicitly want to wipe Israel off the map and wreck the USA are organizing protests globally this week, and some of them have ties to the murderous Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to a new Fox News report.

Unfortunately, the United States is the biggest hotspot of the Marxist revolutionaries protesting in favor of destroying the world’s only Jewish state to transform it into another addition to the world’s 50 Muslim nations. CCP-linked billionaire Neville Roy Singham has been bankrolling anti-Israel, pro-Iran protests in the U.S. for weeks.

The Curious Case of the Diplomatic Leaker: Who Stabbed Whom in the Back — Bibi Netanyahu or JD Vance?

The film was about as faithful to the subject matter as its namesake was to Jacqueline, but some of JFK’s scenes were riveting:

Donald Sutherland (a.k.a. “Mr. X”): “Why was Kennedy killed? Who benefited? Who has the power to cover it up? Who?”

Let’s hijack Sutherland’s advice for the latest mystery that has D.C. tongues wagging: Yesterday, someone leaked a private conversation between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. Vice President JD Vance.

Why even Iraq war hawks should oppose this war

When president George H.W. Bush went to war against Iraq in 1991, he sought and won the consent of the Congress of the United States. Resolutions authorizing military force passed the House, by a margin of 250 to 183, and the Senate, 52-47.

Mr. Bush had earlier secured the passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 678. The cause was clear and compelling: to repel Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. The coalition in support numbered 34 countries in all.

Inside Israel’s plan to kill Ayatollah Khamenei

A network of operatives infiltrated the dictator’s inner circle. After months of watching and listening, Mossad jammed his bodyguards’ phones and the jets struck

The meeting between Iran’s supreme leader and some 40 officials took place every Saturday morning at Ali Khamenei’s office and principal residence in Tehran. It gave Israel an hour-long window to close in for the kill before he returned to one of his two bunkers deep beneath the ground.

At about 6am on Saturday — a symbolic day and time as this was when Hamas launched its October 7 attack — Israel enacted a plan that was years in the making. It was made possible by a network of intelligence officials that built a near-omnipresent picture of where the 86-year-old was and who he was with at all times.

How Trump assassination attempts played into his decision to attack Iran

President Donald Trump for the first time acknowledged a personal dimension to his decision to attack Iran, citing the country’s efforts to assassinate him in 2024 as a factor in ordering the joint U.S.-Israeli operation that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

“I got him before he got me,” Trump said in an interview on Sunday night with ABC News. “I got him first.”

Contempt for Donald Trump aside, this war may give Iranians a shot at freedom

Iran will wage retaliatory war until the last cruise and ballistic missile is expended, the last Shahab, Fattah, Sejjil, Soumar. The last explosive-packed suicide drone. The last Revolutionary Guard soldier still standing. The last slain protester.

And if Iran had a nuclear bomb, there’s little reason to believe that, facing annihilation of the theocratic regime, it wouldn’t have pushed that launch button as well.

UN Weeps on Cue While Tehran Writes the Script

As smoke lies over Minab, Iran, a girls’ school lies shattered; bodies line the pavement. Before the dust settles, familiar voices declare guilt: America and Israel did it. Case closed.

The Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab was hit by a direct strike during ongoing military exchanges. Iranian officials announced a rising death toll, with numbers climbing past 140 and up to 165 lives lost. Health ministry figures quickly spread across global platforms. Tehran blamed joint U.S. and Israeli operations within hours.

Why Europe’s leaders have struggled to speak as one on Iran

Europe knew this may be coming. For weeks, leaders and policy makers watched the US military build-up in the Middle East. They heard the threats of the Trump administration to Tehran: Give up all nuclear aspirations – or else!

But since the US-Israeli attack started on Iran three days ago, this continent has looked at best uncoordinated, if not fractured and decidedly without leverage, caught up in the maelstrom of events.

Each European country is understandably angsting about its citizens in the region – whether and how they may need to evacuate what would be tens of thousands of people in total.

They fear the Muslims they have allowed to settle.

CAUTION: Splodey Mullahs Ahead

Israeli forces “flattened” a building where Iran’s 88-member Assembly of Experts had gathered to select the regime’s next supreme leader, according to Israeli officials and regional reports.

Sources say the session to choose Iran’s next leader had been moved there after the main building in Tehran was previously targeted.

Khamenei’s Unforced Errors Proved Fatal

Iran had failed on every front, but its supreme leader kept bluffing. He didn’t fool Trump.

This is the ayatollah’s war. Now as in June, the pileup of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s mistakes served President Trump a strategic opportunity too inviting to pass up. On Saturday, Khamenei paid with his life.

The proximate error came during negotiations, in which Iran all but announced it still wants to pursue nuclear weapons. What else was Mr. Trump supposed to conclude from Iran’s evasions?

No more domestic enrichment of uranium for nuclear fuel, the president said. This was hardly unreasonable; 23 nations operate nuclear power programs by importing enriched uranium. U.S. negotiators even offered to provide Iran the fuel free of charge, a senior administration official said Saturday. Iran balked. Despite vast oil reserves, Iran claimed to need nuclear power and its own enrichment program. For this, it would risk everything.
