On Saturday, Joe Biden expressed his uncertainty that Iran would avoid retaliatory actions following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, in Tehran.
To be fair, he is uncertain about a lot of things these days including the day of the week and where he is most of the time. Contrast that to Trump, who has said repeatedly that the war would end on day one if he regains office. The difference is night and day. Because of Biden’s lack of leadership and competence, this Middle East catastrophe is spiraling out of control – and fast.
The tensions hit a boiling point after Haniyeh’s killing on Wednesday, which came just a day after an Israeli airstrike in Beirut took the life of Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander. Both Iran and Hamas have accused Israel of orchestrating Haniyeh’s death, with Hezbollah joining in the condemnation and promising to respond.
In a press conference addressing the escalating situation, President Biden was asked whether he believed Iran would choose to de-escalate and refrain from retaliatory measures. His response was notably lacking in assurance, reflecting the precarious nature of the current geopolitical climate. “I hope so. I don’t know,” Biden said, in a statement that fell short of providing a concrete strategy or addressing the gravity of the situation comprehensively.
The assassination of Haniyeh and the preceding airstrike in Beirut have exacerbated fears that the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza could escalate into a broader regional war that drags the US into the conflict directly. Both incidents have fueled a cycle of retaliation and have drawn in major regional players, further complicating the conflict. The reactions from Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah suggest a high likelihood of increased hostilities, potentially leading to a larger and more devastating conflict.
In response to the growing threats and the potential for the conflict to spread, the Pentagon announced on Friday that it would deploy additional military assets to the region. This includes an increase in the number of fighter jets and Navy warships, aimed at bolstering the U.S. military presence and supporting regional stability.
The decision to send additional forces highlights the growing tensions in the region and potentially exacerbates the conflict. Biden’s indecisive remarks have only contributed to the rising concern that we will not be able to turn this thing around before its too late.
It’s not like he’s in charge, however, as was exposed following the debate that ended his political career early. His Deep State handlers have been calling the shots from day one, and – with the election rapidly approaching – are almost out of time to send America’s sons and daughters off to die in the Middle East in yet another cash-grab, endless war in the Middle East. At this point, with the current state of affairs and a puppet ‘leader’ like Biden, it seems like it’s only a matter of time until we go hot with Iran.
