Iran nuclear

The Biden administration had been very public in its insistence that Israel not strike Iran's nuclear facilities or its oil fields.

Israel had an even stronger case than ever that any limited attack would be insufficient to deter the Islamic Republic from a third attack.

The bottom line is that even if the United States does not assume its historic role, Israel has the obligation, and the right, to destroy the Iranian nuclear project.

An earthquake felt throughout Iran on Saturday evening led to speculation about the country's use of nuclear weapons on social media.

Biden and other US officials have said that strikes on nuclear facilities would be ineffective and "plunge the region into a full-scale war."

Trump's comments came in response to US President Joe Biden's earlier statements cautioning Israel against striking Iranian nuclear facilities.

The official told CNN that the Biden administration hopes to see "Some wisdom as well as strength...but as you guys know, no guarantees." 

Biden told reporters that there would be more sanctions imposed on Iran and said he would speak soon with Netanyahu.

Hezbollah is likely gambling on a war of attrition until it gets the order from Iran to increase its attacks in quantity and quality. 

To counter Iran's nuclear ambitions without force, a new regional order with security pacts, normalization of relations, and incentives is proposed.
