America Has Rejected Iran's Proposal; What Happens Next?

Updates on The Iran-Israel War
Brian Berletic and Danny Haiphong talk about America's goals/involvement: Laith Marouf talks about what the war means for the future of the Middle East:
The US Was Aware Of Israel's Attack On Iran.
And of course, there's President Trump's own rhetoric . If he was trying to "warn" Iran, that implies he new something was up. And even now, telling Iran to make a deal before things get worse indicates that he's quite aware that Israel will strike again (and it's curious that he doesn't seem to want to prevent any future strikes). Meanwhile, Marco Rubio is trying to downplay America's involvement while stocks take a hit .
As Some Celebrate The Regime Change In Syria, World Powers Divide the Spoils.
The United States, Turkey and Israel aren't wasting any time:
How The West Has Failed The Public Regarding Palestine.
Now that a year has passed since Hamas attacked Israel for hostages to, in part, negotiate the release of Palestinian hostages and the Israeli government responded by killing Hamas, Palestinians, and even potential Israeli hostages, we can look at ways the West has, at best, downplayed the actions of the Israeli government while amplifying the actions of Hamas (aka Palestinians), Hezbollah (aka, Lebanon), the Houthis (aka Yemen), and Iran to fit a simplistic "Good Guys vs Bad Guys" dynamic. "Success" in war/battle is determined by civilian casualties/destruction of non-military property : Iran's recent (retaliatory) strike on Israeli military targets was called ineffective by many outlets . Meanwhile, Israeli victory has been defined by death and destruction ("[the IDF has] reduced large swaths of Gaza to rubble, made nearly two million Gazans internal refugees, and killed more than 40,000 Palestinians - about a third of them Hamas militants, according ...
Al Jazeera: Israeli Army Is Realizing What They’re Up Against
War isn't a video game, as many seem to just be figuring out : The Israeli army has said these are limited, targeted raids and they don’t plan to push that far into Lebanese territory. But this is the first day of face-to-face combat between Hezbollah fighters and the Israeli military and there are significant losses by the Israeli army. There was a lot of apprehension within the Israeli security establishment about what Israeli forces were going to face on the ground. While they do have a lot of power in the form of air strikes, drone strikes and surveillance, they do not have that same kind of power on the ground and we’re seeing that play out in real time. Even though the army has said these are just limited raids, it’s still an invasion into Lebanese territory. Now the army is realising what they’re up against.
With Nasrallah Gone, Biden and Harris Stick to The Script.
In the wake of the Israeli government's pager attack on Lebanon, another assault: Adding to the fact that the pager attack was 15 years in the making (sounds premeditated), it's hard to argue that these actions are not meant to provoke Lebanon to act in a way that Israel can claim the role of victim and ask the US for direct military assistance (read: boots on the ground). But if you were to look at what President Joe Biden and VP (and current Democratic Party presidential nominee) Kamala Harris are saying , you would think that Hassan Nasrallah was Saddam Hussein and not the leader of a political party: On Saturday, both President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris released statements strongly backing the Israeli assassination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, which was carried out using US-provided 2,000-pound bombs. President Biden said in a statement that Nasrallah’s death was “a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of A...
