President Trump re-shared an article that claims he ordered the U.S. Central Command to "open the gates of hell" for Iran.

President Trump on the American soldiers who were killed in a recent Iranian missile attack:

They were truly great heroes. They all said, very strongly, "We cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons." They will not have nuclear weapons.

We will honor them. For me, this is one of the hardest things I have to do as president.

Donald Trump on Iran:

"They will pay a heavy price. They are collapsing."

Donald Trump on Iran:

Americans are not against war.
Americans don't want high gas prices, but they are not against war.

No one wants Iran to have nuclear weapons.

Do you want Iran to have nuclear weapons? Do you think it would be a good thing?

Axios:

Goffman, the new director of Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, visited Washington two weeks ago to discuss the war in Iran and Iran's nuclear program.

Goffman met with John Ratcliffe, the director of the CIA, as well as officials from the White House.

Trump Pays Respect to Soldiers Killed in Attack by the Islamic Republic of Iran in Jordan and Iraq

Trump on Iran:

They are not yet ready to reach an agreement.

But they will be ready very soon.

Donald Trump on the conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran:

I see this as a small conflict. We have a small conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

They are under immense pressure and want to reach an agreement, but I say they are not yet ready to make a deal.

Trump:

We are winning against the Islamic Republic, and we will not allow the Islamic Republic to ever obtain nuclear weapons.

Over the past 12 months, the Islamic Republic has killed more than 52,000 protesters, and the media has ignored this.

US Central Command has released videos of the latest strikes against Iran.

Targets included a bulldozer, warehouses and motorboats.

Mohammad Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament and head of the Iranian negotiation delegation, responds to President Trump:

The equation in this war is clear: either everyone – or no one.

In a region where we do not sell oil, no one will sell oil. If our security is not guaranteed, no infrastructure will be safe. Security in the strait will only be achieved in the absence of American forces.

We have said again and again: the situation in the strait will not return to what it was before the war.

Thousands gathered at the Kotel as Tisha B'Av began

Worshippers filled the Western Wall plaza in Jerusalem to mark the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, mourning the destruction of the First and Second Temples. Otzma Yehudit chairman Itamar Ben Gvir and former PM Naftali Bennett were among the political figures seen at the site.

🛑🇧🇫- Captain Ibrahim Traore on why the government wants to control the flow of international students.

He said they are currently counting the number of Burkinabè students who are studying overseas. Out of 1000 students in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, over 800 of them left the country without the government knowing.

Our embassy over there has no record of them. And guess what those 800 people are studying? Sharia law and Islamic laws and none of them is learning a trade.

So, he asked: where are they intending to apply those laws? In Burkina Faso 🇧🇫? Not here. Captain said he is going to bring them back home, and if they refuse, then they are no longer Burkinabè.

Will your country ever address this? Radical islam is a cancer that needs to be addressed. If we pretend as if it’s not a threat to Africa, we are just fooling ourselves. Terrorism started with them. Remember, the imperialists are always using religion and ethnicism to divide Africans.

Look at how terror-supporting AlJazeera wrote its article

Hmmm 🤔

Trump: The civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia will be approved on the condition that it joins the Abraham Accords.
