The euphoria was brief. On Friday morning, I asked if it was even necessary to start a war with the Iranians. Shiites are historically willing to suffer. I mentioned their willingness to sacrifice as demonstrated in the 8 years of attrition with Iraq. I recommend that we cut our losses. Ask Trump to stop the scramble for a reasonable agreement. Otherwise, we’ll end up begging for a cease-fire and Iran will refuse.

There is no one to stop the madness. Ariel Kahana, political commentator for Israel Hayom, writes about Israel’s response plan to attack population centers: The IDF will announce in the coming hours an evacuation order for neighborhoods in Tehran. After that, the air force will bring down buildings, similar to what Israel did in Beirut.

London, IRNA– Eleven member states of the International Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A.) Board of Governors (one third of the Board members, JB) have issued a joint statement condemning the Israeli regime’s military attack on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities and urged immediate action by the United Nations nuclear watchdog and the Security Council to prevent such aggression.
The statement was issued by Russia, China, Pakistan, Iraq, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Cuba, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Iran.
The members of the I.A.E.A. Board of Governors condemned Israel’s aggression against Iran, including its military attacks on nuclear facilities under I.A.E.A. safeguards, calling them a flagrant violation of international law, the U.N. Charter, and the Statute of the I.A.E.A.
The statement emphasized that these military attacks not only threaten international peace and security but also undermine confidence in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (N.P.T.), constitute a blatant disregard for the I.A.E.A. safeguards system, and jeopardize the advancement of peaceful nuclear energy.
The signatories also stressed that any armed attack or threat against nuclear facilities dedicated to peaceful purposes constitutes a violation of the principles of the U.N. Charter, international law, and the Statute of the I.A.E.A.
They called on the Israeli regime to immediately cease its military aggression against Iran and urged the Board of Governors, the Secretariat, and the I.A.E.A. director general to take the necessary measures to prevent such attacks from happening again.
