President Donald Trump has demanded a “complete give-up” by Iran and a “real end” to its nuclear programme, as speculation mounts that the US will join the conflict despite resistance from some senior officials. The Mail has more.
“I’m not looking for a ceasefire, we’re looking at better than a ceasefire,” Trump told reporters as he landed back in the US from a G7 summit in Canada. The President added he was looking for “an end, a real end, not a ceasefire”.
Trump last night refused to sign a joint statement with fellow G7 leaders calling for de-escalation in the conflict before storming out of the summit, saying he had to get back to Washington early “for obvious reasons”.
Speaking from Air Force One, he then furiously denied claims made by French President Emmanuel Macron that he was heading back to work on a ceasefire, calling his counterpart “publicity seeking” and a “nice guy” but one who “doesn’t get it right too often”.
He said that Israel had no intention of stopping its offensive, telling reporters: “The Israelis aren’t slowing up their barrage on Iran. … You’re going to find out over the next two days. You’re going to find out. Nobody’s slowed up so far.”
Meanwhile Israeli media reported that the US is preparing to join an attack on Iran “if President Donald Trump gives the green light”.
An unidentified official told i24 News that “US Central Command thinks it should join, but there are senior officials in the administration who are currently opposing the move”.
Washington is seemingly gearing up for confrontation in the Middle East, with a carrier strike group and three destroyers in the Arabian Sea and the USS Nimitz expected to arrive in the region in the coming days.
Trump earlier called for the “immediate evacuation of Tehran” and branded Iran “foolish” for not signing a deal with the US on its nuclear programme before Israeli strikes began.
It comes as the war between the arch foes enters its fifth day and Israel ramps up attacks aimed at destroying Iran’s contested nuclear work.
Earlier this morning, Israel announced that it had assassinated Iran’s wartime chief of staff, the closest official to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, just days after his predecessor was killed in strikes.

Problem is that we’re already self censoring at work!
Too scared to mention what’s normal.
Sitting through “how to challenge non-woke” training. Geez….
Depresses me completely
**Off-topic trigger warning!** As it’s St George’s Day it’s technically on-topic, so there.
Well we knew this was going to happen because we know how corrupt and treacherous Khant’s racist Met ‘Islam Protection Squad’ Police are. Here’s what they posted before the gathering of patriots today;
”Later today, an event to mark St George’s Day is expected to take place on Richmond Terrace, off Whitehall. We believe those planning to attend include far right groups and groups linked to football clubs travelling from elsewhere in the UK.
Additional policing resources, including public order officers, will be deployed in the area to deal with any incidents. They are supported by colleagues from the British Transport Police and the City of London Police.
The officers’ primary role is to ensure the safety of participants and the public, but they will not hesitate to respond in the event of disorderly behaviour or other offences.”

This is what transpired. What do you notice? In particular as compared to the pro-hate marches…But at least Tommy got his case dismissed and can now set foot in London and rub shoulders with the Jihadis and their hangers-on once again;

”Far right” for the win!! 🙂
Far Right? Where exactly?
Isn’t it strange how the Met can rev up and attack British patriots but islamic ‘jihadists’ get a free pass?
Exactamondo, hux. Never once did I see any riot police or police horses when the Jew-hater/terrorist fan club mongtards got together. But this is a tactic as old as the hills, is it not? Those people just wanted to walk down the road, and as free citizens in a supposedly free country they should’ve been able to walk along a flipping pavement. But the goon squad form a barricade for the sole objective of antagonizing the patriots so that tensions would rise. They’d made up their minds in their statement they’d posted ahead of time that the people gathering in London to celebrate their own Saint’s day, quite rightly wearing their flags of Saint George, would be labeled ‘far right’ and ‘football hooligans’, because that’s what the Leftard mobs of useful idiots and the West-hating Islamists think of anyone who is even remotely proud of their country and culture, therefore the perfectly peaceful gathering must be undermined at all costs. That’s the objective.
Because every one of those citizens knows exactly what the police are about by now, and it sure as hell hasn’t got anything to do with upholding the law and keeping the peace, as was proven perfectly with how they treat Tommy Robinson on that day, and was subsequently proven in court today. He’s suing the Met now and good on him, I say, because he’s got facts and evidence on his side. Thank the gods for citizen journalists who’ve been consistently filming and uploading the disgusting behaviour of the police, who do not ‘keep the peace’ anymore, but, as has been witnessed today, they disrupt the peace. There didn’t need to be any police presence. There were no counter protestors, it wasn’t as if it was match day and two rival football teams were playing. These were regular people, families, who just wanted to gather together and enjoy the day, but if you see the footage online it’s like they were carrying weapons or wearing suicide vests instead of draped in flags, or something. Completely disproportionate response, just to create trouble where there was absolutely none to begin with. But I think you need to wave a Palestine flag, wear a tea towel round your face and chant for death to the Jews or your homeland, only then will the bent buggers leave you alone because terrorists=good, patriots=bad. A distinct absence of face coverings too, much like the Israel rallies. A stark contrast which is very telling regarding the sanity levels of the different people gathering, I think. Sane vs nutjob, right there.
Check this out. Do you see them go on like this every weekend when the terrorist fan club hit the streets? You’d think somebody was threatening to blow themselves up!

wink——–Diversity travels in one direction. It is a one way street.
I was not sacked for “wrongthink” but I would have been had I not left my place of work. At the end of a training session we were told this —–” You will all have noticed that there are a lot of Muslims and Asians working here. Should any of you say anything to upset these people you will face disciplinary action and possible dismissal” ——–I found this to be preposterous and when asked if we had any questions I asked “If a Muslim or Asian person says anything to upset me will they also face disciplinary action and possible dismissal”? I have never seen a jaw drop so fast in my life and I never did receive a reply. ———So no I was not sacked but I think we can all see the problem here when diversity only works in one direction.
Hi Cj You also need to consider the proliferation of gagging orders, and employers deflective use of the data protection act.
