BERLIN — NATO’s secretary-general says the alliance wouldn’t come to Israel’s defense in case of attack by arch enemy Iran. Jens Stoltenberg told the magazine Der Spiegel in comments published Saturday that Israel is a partner, but not a member and that NATO’s “security guarantee” doesn’t apply to Israel. Stoltenberg says NATO isn’t involved in Mideast peace efforts or in conflicts in the region. He spoke at a time of rising Israel-Iran tensions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently intensified his criticism of a 2015 agreement between world powers and Iran that offered Tehran sanctions relief for curbs on its nuclear program. The U.S. withdrew from the deal last month. Israel and Iran have also clashed militarily over Iran’s military presence in Syria. Poster Comment: NATO not affiliated with Israel FUKUS Boy Muhammad, FUKUS and BIbi are on their own.

Israel, which has a long history of waging wars and occupying sovereign states, has been trying to portray Iran, which has not attacked any nation for hundreds of years, as a threat to world peace. Over the past years, the regime has been intensely lobbying with its American and European allies to dissuade them from engaging in diplomacy with Iran over its nuclear program and support instead a military action against the Islamic Republic. PressTV-Retribution for any misdeed to come thick and fast: Iran The chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces vows firm and crushing response to any enemies' threat or possible act of aggression. Hailing the US administration's move to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin said Wednesday he would travel to Germany, France and Britain next week to meet with European leaders on Iran’s presence in Syria and the 2015 nuclear deal. Earlier this month, US President Donald Trump announced Washington’s pullout from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and vowed to reinstate nuclear sanctions on Iran. Netanyahu hailed Trump’s decision, calling the accord a “recipe for disaster.” In May, Netanyahu claimed that he had new "proof" via captured documents that Iran had developed a nuclear weapons plan, which could be activated at any time. The Israeli prime minister’s fresh claims were made as numerous reports by the International Atomic Energy Agency have already verified Iran’s full commitment to its side of the bargain. PressTV-Israel threatens to ‘act’ against Iran ‘anywhere in Syria’ Angered by successful Iranian anti-terrorism efforts in Syria, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has threatened that the regime will hit Iranian targets “anywhere in Syria.” Iran has on numerous occasions asserted that its nuclear program is merely peaceful and not meant to make nukes. This is while Israel is widely thought to possess hundreds of nuclear nuclear warheads and refuses to either allow inspections of its nuclear facilities or join the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel is also angry over the presence of Iranian military advisors, who have been helping Syrian government forces in their fight against Tel Aviv-backed terrorists. The hawkish Israeli premier has threatened that the regime would hit Iranian targets “anywhere in Syria.” Additionally on Wednesday, Israel’s minister of military affairs Avigdor Lieberman flew to Moscow to hold talks with his Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on Iran’s presence in Syria. Iran, Syria’s strong ally, has been giving Damascus military advisory assistance in its countrywide counter-terrorism battles since a foreign-sponsored militancy unleashed in the Arab country in 2011. The Iranian government has repeatedly said that only the Syrian people can decide the future of their country and the political fate of their leader, whereas Israel and the Western powers, particularly the US, has been insisting for years that Assad must be ousted from power. PressTV-Iran has no military presence, bases in Syria: FM Muallem The Syrian FM says Iran has no military presence or bases in the Arab country and the presence of Iranian military advisors there is legitimate. Damascus says Israel and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups operating inside the Arab country, while the Tel Aviv regime's military carries out sporadic strikes against Syrian government forces. The Israeli regime has even set up field hospitals to treat wounded militants evacuated from Syria. Furthermore, the Syrian army has repeatedly seized huge quantities of Israeli-made weapons and advanced military equipment from the foreign-backed militants inside Syria. [Tatarewicz] Looks like Israel running out of tricks to get WWIII going, First, Russia said its staying out of any Israel-Iran conflict. Now Europe says its not going to be an accessory to Zionist crimes in ME. Leaves only chump Trump but only if US Congress authorizes war on Iran. Netanyahu claimed that he had new "proof" via captured documents that Iran had developed a nuclear weapons plan, which could be activated at any time. Was in "all" the papers, Iran saying it could readily go ahead with nuke bomb if West cancelled JCPOA. [TAXCOLLECTOR2017] This one I know you will like. If the Jews won't do anything about the murders and occupation in Palestine, they should at least stop blocking the American Congress from doing something. Even in the US they have their own congress. It was formed before Rothschild took over. The ZOA dictates policy. The first thing Congress really need to do is revoke all dual citizenships. Choose a country and stay there. Travel is one thing, but to travel from Tel Aviv and back to DC ( commuters) to dictate policy in Washington has to stop. That's the easiest way to bring down Zionism. After all, if it's our money why are we supporting a terrorist regime? Westy... Very good that the Europeans have made this clear because Israel's goal has always been to get the west to fight its battles so that it can steal a lot more land. TAXCOLLECTOR2017... Self defence is anti-Semitism , and terrorism, according to the Zionist Nazis . The Zio-Nazis attack anyone who speaks out against these murders. I welcome their attacks, as does Iran. I am just waiting as well. They got away with blowing up a New York Skyscraper , owned by a Jew, who collected the insurance on a building he only leased. Jewish lightening became Jewish terrorism. Same people, same way they do everything to get money, power, and the ability to murder with no repercussions. On the personal level I hope everyone who knows a Jew tells him that Israel is a terrorist organisation as well as the Zionist Organisation of America. S Balu1... NEVER TRUST NATO ! PLEASE LEARN FROM RECENT PAST! NATO WAS CREATED TO DEFEND WESTERN EUROPE AGAINST USSR! YET HOW COME NATO TROOPS ARE IN AFGHANISTAN? SAME HERE IRAN MUST BE PREPARED NEVER TRUST WHITEMAN'S WORD
What a great man -- what fine men! Could you imagine Katie Couric and the Donald trying to get along in a foreign language -- much less one as remote from English as Arabic??? With everything DC does and with everything others reveal of Assad, it's clear that the USG is the vicious bloodthirsty wild brute and its victims the real mean and women of character. I hate the smirking, mugging, bellowing Donald, I hate all TV news talking heads and radio talking mouths, I have the GD ameriKan govt-media complex with a purple passion. HATE HATE HATE THESE FORCES OF EVIL, people, or there is no real LOVE in you!!!! Opening this page in an extra window to hear the whole thing, tho' I don't normally do the longer videos linked here. THANKS, hondo68.
