This is a certainty.  We also know that Saudi Arabia wanted it because they believed Israel would attack their oil facilities using planes Saudi Arabia can\u2019t see, to blame it on Iran.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s also why Trump started talking, 24 hours before, with Israel about a mutual defense pact, one with a borderless state, no constitution, in violation of endless UN resolutions, murdering its own Arab population en masse for nearly 70 years.<\/p>\n<p>We know who did it.  Israel sent F35\u2019s across Saudi Arabia, bombed the vast refinery complex.  Even Iran is afraid to tell the truth as we see in Press TV:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cTehran has dismissed the US\u2019s claim of Iranian involvement in the recent Yemeni drone attacks on Saudi oil facilities, saying Washington seems to be shifting from a failed campaign of \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d to one of \u201cmaximum lying\u201d and \u201cdeceit\u201d against the Islamic Republic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif responded in a tweet on Sunday to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo\u2019s claim that Tehran had \u201claunched an unprecedented attack on the world\u2019s energy supply\u201d and \u201cis behind nearly 100 attacks on Saudi Arabia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo\u2019s rant came after Yemeni armed forces conducted a large-scale drone operation on Saudi Arabia\u2019s Aramco oil facilities in response to Riyadh\u2019s years-long military aggression, causing a partial halt in crude and gas production from the world\u2019s top oil exporter.<\/p>\n<p>The top US diplomat, however, failed short of offering any evidence to substantiate his claim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The key problem hit only days ago when Netanyahu promised to annex part of the West Bank, the Palestinian State, to Israel.  This was a \u201cdeal breaker\u201d for both Russia and Saudi Arabia.  We always ask the questions, whether national leaders are compromised.<\/p>\n<p>It has come down to this.  Was this Bolton\u2019s last hurrah?  Except, we see Pompeo, \u201cBolton Jr\u201d is still around, part of the \u201cpoisonous toad\u201d lobby that surrounds Trump.<\/p>\n<p>But with Trump advocating an American military presence inside not just Israel but the occupied territories as well and the US of American military directly defending Israel from retribution for their attacks on other nations, America couldn\u2019t possibly face a worse disaster.<\/p>\n<p>This is from the Jerusalem Post, not an Arab news source or \u201cthe internet.\u201d<strong>\u2026Gordon<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ScreenHunter_02-Sep.-15-11.12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-128202\" src=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ScreenHunter_02-Sep.-15-11.12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"819\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ScreenHunter_02-Sep.-15-11.12.jpg 819w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ScreenHunter_02-Sep.-15-11.12-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ScreenHunter_02-Sep.-15-11.12-768x379.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The controversy between Israel and Russia regarding airstrikes of Iranian targets in Syria and Iraq continues, despite the meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/Israel-News\/Netanyahu-gets-pre-election-support-from-Putin-in-Sochi-601544\">Vladimir Putin<\/a>. This was reported on Friday by <em>Independent Arabia.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>According to the report, Moscow has prevented three Israeli air strikes on three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/Middle-East\/US-wont-send-more-troops-to-Syria-for-joint-Turkish-patrols-601615\">Syrian <\/a>outposts recently, and even threatened that any jets attempting such a thing would be shot down, either by Russian jets or by the S-400 anti-aircraft missiles.<\/p>\n<p>The source cited in the report claims a similar situation has happened twice \u2013 and that during August, Moscow stopped an air strike on a Syrian outpost in Qasioun, where a S-300 missile battery is placed.<\/p>\n<p>The British-Arabic news outlet reported that Netanyahu tried to present a positive message of the cooperation between the two countries and even tried to use it for his election campaign, but it didn\u2019t work. Israeli sources who have spoken with the newspaper called the meeting \u201ca failure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They claimed that everything regarding the air strikes in Iraq and Syria, since they were in the public eye, embarrassed the Russians terribly in the eyes of their allies in the area \u2013 Syria, Iran and the militias that support them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Russian source said: \u201cPutin has expressed his dissatisfaction from Israel\u2019s latest actions in Lebanon,\u201d and even emphasized to Netanyahu that he \u201crejects the aggression towards Lebanon\u2019s sovereignty,\u201d something which had never been heard from him.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Putin further stated that someone is cheating him in regards to Syria and Lebanon, and that he will not let it go without a response. According to him, Netanyahu was warned not to strike such targets in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The news website added that more Israeli sources have said similar things on the subject and that the visit was meant to reduce the severity of the controversy.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/2019\/09\/16\/israel-stages-f35-saudi-attack-after-putins-smackdown-of-netanyahu-over-syria\/\">https:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/2019\/09\/16\/israel-stages-f35-saudi-attack-after-putins-smackdown-of-netanyahu-over-syria\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israel stages F35 Saudi attack after Putin\u2019s smackdown of Netanyahu over Syria<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-128204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=128204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128204\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=128204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=128204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=128204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
