The Israeli premier said set to meet Smotrich to gauge support for potential captives-ceasefire agreement with Hamas.

Netanyahu thanked US president Biden and president-elect Donald Trump for their efforts to free the captives, the Times cited a statement by the Prime Minister’s office.” Gaza “

Netanyahu updated US President Joe Biden on the mandate he had given to Israel’s negotiating team that he dispatched to Doha last night, the premier’s office added.

Netanyahu also expressed his appreciation to Biden and to US President-elect Donald Trump for their efforts to secure the release of the captives, the Israeli readout says.

What were once mere whispers of disapproval have evolved into a resounding outcry, capturing the attention of a global audience increasingly wearied by the daily tragic plight of the Palestinians.

The recent U.S. veto of the United Nations Security Council resolution, intended to halt the military onslaught in Gaza, has become a catalyst, intensifying the flames of dissent among American citizens. Many perceive this action as a tacit endorsement of Israel’s unrestrained aggression, sparking indignation among those calling for a reevaluation of U.S. policies that seemingly endorse the indiscriminate targeting of civilians in the pursuit of geopolitical alliances. It’s noteworthy that this isn’t an isolated incident; the U.S. has wielded its veto power in support of the Israeli regime multiple times. Since 1945, the U.S. has vetoed a total of 34 UN Security Council draft resolutions related to the Israel-Palestine conflict, unequivocally expressing the country’s support for Israel whenever resolutions critiqued their actions in Gaza and the West Bank.

As images of civilian casualties and the devastating destruction of homes and infrastructure in Gaza flood the media, public sentiment has evolved from mere disapproval to active protest. Earlier this week, dozens of activists protested in front of the U.S. Senate office building, demanding the United States to push for a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The demonstrators, clad in black T-shirts reading “Not In Our Name,” chained themselves to the White House fence, scattering fake money on the floor to symbolize the blood money that the U.S. is giving to Israel and holding a banner reading “Aid to Israel = Bombing Palestinians.”

Protest movements, both on social media platforms and in physical gatherings, spotlight the diverse range of concerns among U.S. citizens. Some express dismay over the perceived imbalance in U.S. foreign policy, contending that significant aid to Israel may not align with the broader interests and values of the American people. Many citizens are also questioning the substantial financial aid provided to Israel, drawn from U.S. taxpayer money, leading to heightened scrutiny and calls for transparency in how taxpayer dollars are utilized in foreign aid. This is while Israel receives more than $3 billion in military aid each year, and the U.S. Congress is now weighing a Biden administration proposal to send the occupying regime more than $10 billion in supplemental military support to continue the war against the innocent Gazan civilians.

In addition to financial aid, the U.S. is responsible for providing Israel with some of its most advanced war machinery, including a collection of U.S.-made F-35 fighter jets, which is considered the most advanced fighters in the world. Israel is now using these weapons to attack Gaza, according to open-source accounts. According to a Washington Post investigation, Israel also used U.S.-supplied internationally banned white phosphorus munitions in an October attack in southern Lebanon.

While people in the United States express growing discontent with their country’s stance on the Gaza conflict, President Joe Biden hosted a White House reception on Monday to mark Hanukkah, celebrating the Jewish festival of lights, and affirming, “I am a Zionist,” promising continued military assistance to Israel.

The unanimous backing from the U.S. political machinery for Israel, despite international pleas for restraint, has left a bitter taste for those seeking justice and an end to the suffering in Gaza. This allegiance, perceived by some as an unchecked carte blanche for Israel to act with impunity, has fueled a groundswell of dissatisfaction, not only with the policies themselves but also with the broader ethical and moral implications of such unwavering support.

Recent polling indicates that younger Americans are now taking a more fierce stance on the Gaza conflict and are more likely to support Palestinians. According to a Quinnipiac University national poll released in mid-November, 52% of younger voters, ages 18-34, said their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians while 29% said they side with the Israelis.

This discontent among the American public is now evolving into a global movement demanding accountability, transparency, and a recalibration of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, emphasizing the ethical responsibility of a nation that champions human rights but seemingly turns a blind eye to the human suffering in Gaza. Younger Americans, in particular, are more likely to support Palestinians, according to recent polling, revealing a shift in sentiments that transcends national borders.

“Biden’s sanguinary stance even runs counter to the wishes of a majority of Americans, with 66 percent in favor of a cease-fire,” Yuram Abdullah Weiler tells the Tehran Times.

Following is the text of the interview:

How do you analyze Israel’s atrocities in Gaza in terms of proportionality, international law, especially attacks on health centers, etc.?

Given the unabashed U.S. support of the genocide being executed by the Israeli entity against the Palestinian people of Gaza, I can no longer stomach Americans or their British or European lap dogs.  By referring to Palestinians as “human animals,” Zionist leaders have admitted their intent to commit genocide against innocent men, women and children in Gaza, and elsewhere in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

“By referring to Palestinians as ‘human animals,’ Zionist leaders have admitted their intent to commit genocide against innocent Palestinian civilians.”

And it is genocide: according to Section 1091 of Title 18, United States Code, genocide includes violent attacks with the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.  Already over 12,000 Palestinians, half of whom are women and children, have been slaughtered in these ongoing massacres. Additionally, Israelis have imposed a complete siege on Gaza, cutting off all water, food, electricity and fuel.  Starvation as a method of warfare is prohibited by Article 54 of Additional Protocol I to the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Deprivation of basic supplies necessary for survival is a war crime under Article 8(2)(b)(xxv)of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

Article 51 of the Geneva Convention of 1949 covering the protection of the civilian population prohibits so-called indiscriminate attacks, which includes those not directed at specific military objectives, may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof. Likewise, Article 51(2) of Additional Protocol I prohibits “acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population.”  The Zionist regime is in violation of these provisions as well.

The recent UN General Assembly vote on a humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza demonstrated how isolated the U.S. is globally with 120 for to 14 against. While many abstained, not one traditional U.S. ally voted against the truce resolution.  Biden’s sanguinary stance even runs counter to the wishes of a majority of Americans, with 66 percent in favor of a cease-fire. No wonder some sources are referring to Biden as “Genocide Joe.”

Moreover, a recent poll of Israelis has shown that support for continuing the carnage has dropped to 29 percent.  How hypocritically ironic that the descendants of the alleged victims of poison gas used by the Nazis in Germany are now using poison gas to further their genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Are Israel’s actions instances of self-defense or the slaughter of Gazans?

Only a dyed-in-the-wool Zionist could describe this Gazan genocide as “self-defense.” As we all witness the relentless bombardment of Gaza by the Israelis’ warplanes and artillery, we likewise witness the United States scrambling to provide military support and political cover for its so-called “ally” to carry out what scholars of international law consider to be war crimes.

“Biden giving overt political cover for the Zionist regime’s war crimes.”

Regrettably, the U.S. president has given the Israeli prime minister a “green light” to prolong this genocidal war against Gaza as he sees fit.   The U.S. certainly has sufficient leverage to pressure this apartheid regime to stop its genocidal campaign in Gaza.

In an open letter to Biden, Sarbini Abdul Murad, Chief Presidium of Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (MER-C) Indonesia, wrote, “Every five minutes, a Palestinian child is killed … Babies, children, women, the elderly, the disabled, hospitals, ambulances, medics, schools, teachers, residential complexes, worship places and much more. This is completely genocide and ethnic cleansing.” After demanding an immediate cease-fire, Dr. Murad concluded his letter stating, “We, the Indonesian people, and also the people all around world, will continue to support the struggle for the liberation of Palestinian land from Israeli Zionist colonialism.”

How do you describe the agonies of the inhabitants of Gaza who have been denied essential needs, living in constant fear of bombardment, grieving for the family members lost in aerial raids, etc.?

How can anyone describe the agonies of Gazan parents who witness their children’s remains being dragged out from the rubble, which had once been their homes and had been destroyed by Israelis with U.S.-supplied bombs? Karim Khan, chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, called the situation in Gaza “a pandemic of inhumanity.”

Recall that during the Great March of Return two years ago, the Zionists deliberately targeted women, children and people in wheelchairs.  Now, one Israeli official is even talking about dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza.  They have already dropped 1-1/2 times (probably 2 x) the equivalent of the explosive power of the Hiroshima A-bomb on Gaza.  Meanwhile, the Wall Street analysts have placed buy recommendations on the weapons makers’ stocks.

Biden’s ceaseless support of the genocidal Israeli campaign against Gaza, which includes bombing schools and hospitals, is causing displacement, death and destruction in Palestine on a scale not seen since the original Nakba in 1948.  Biden and members of his administration have lied about Israel’s bombing of schools and hospitals, giving overt political cover for the Zionist regime’s war crimes.  His administration has refused to hear the anguished outcries from people around the world demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza. In the words of one Palestinian academic, “Biden has truly surpassed Trump in the fascist dehumanization of Palestinians.”

Biden has repeated false news reports about Hamas members targeting civilians, beheading children and raping women, in support of a regime that includes a prime minister indicted for bribery and corruption, and a cabinet member convicted of terrorism. His claim that the U.S. upholds the laws of war is baseless; allowing Israel to use white phosphorus is one counterexample; allowing the cessation of food and water to Gaza is another, as intentional starvation of a civilian population is clearly a war crime. Moral revulsion is too mild a term for describing my feelings towards a U.S. president who would politically and logistically facilitate genocide. Once again, I am ashamed to be American.

What is the duty of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the face of such collective punishment?

While neither the U.S. nor Israel is a state party to the Rome Statute, Palestine is. Consequently, the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction extends to Gaza, the Occupied West Bank and Jerusalem. An ICC prosecutor concluded that “war crimes have been or are being committed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip,” but the ICC is underfunded and may not be able to pursue the investigation.  In contrast, the U.S. always seems to find funds to finance Israel’s war crimes against Palestinians.

Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Karim A.A. Khan stated that his office began an investigation on 3 March 2021 concerning Rome Statute crimes committed since 13 June 2014 in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as well as the current situation in Gaza that began 7 October 2023. He has pleaded with the state parties to the Rome Statute “to provide us with the tools we need in order to allow us to effectively fulfil our mandate.” The upcoming Assembly of States Parties in December should demonstrate the commitment of those state parties to the principles of the ICC.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has claimed he wants to remove Hamas from Gaza. Do you think this is practically possible?

Hamas (Harakah al-Moqawamah al-Islamiyah, The Islamic Resistance Movement) was formed on 9 December 1987 after an Israeli military tractor trailer truck intentionally rammed a van carrying Palestinians, killing 3 outright and injuring 7 others. That evening, Hamas was established by a number of prominent Gazan leaders who were members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

When Hamas members won a majority of seats in the Palestinian legislative elections in 2007, the U.S. and Israel refused to recognize them and supported Fatah, after which Hamas took over Gaza. The U.S. and Israel even enlisted Mohammad Dahlan in an unsuccessful coup attempt.  Israeli attacks on the narrow coastal enclave have been relentless, year after year killing thousands of Palestinians, while the U.S. supplies arms and munitions, as well as political cover.

Despite the continuous attempts in the past by the Zionist regime to dislodge Hamas from Gaza, they have been unsuccessful.  Having failed previously to remove Hamas from Gaza, Netanyahu appears to be intent on wiping out Gaza in its entirety.

Even if Hamas is debilitated, can it be imagined that new groups would not emerge after some years?

“As long as the underlying cause for the formation of Hamas and other resistance movements remains, there will be new resistance groups emerging to continue the struggle to free Palestine.”

This is exactly what a Rand Corp. assessment concluded in 2017, that is, the Zionist regime does not want to eliminate Hamas completely out of fear that a more violent organization would take its place. The report noted that many analysts were predicting a major conflict would take place at some time in the future.  As long as the underlying cause for the formation of Hamas and other Palestinian resistance movements, namely the Israeli occupation and annexation of Palestinian lands, remains, there will be new resistance groups emerging to continue the struggle to free Palestine.

Sociologically speaking, is it possible to imprison a population of about 2.3 million in an extremely small territory and expect them to remain silent and obedient?

This is more of a rhetorical question; of course, it is impossible. Sooner or later there will be resistance to the oppression.

Don’t you think the way Israel is treating the Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank automatically breeds extremism and violence?

The late Archbishop Desmond Tutu recognized that Israel is an apartheid state during a visit in 1989. He acknowledged that Israeli treatment of Palestinians was “in many instances worse” than South Africa’s treatment of Blacks. Certainly in most cases, children brought up under such appalling circumstances of abuse and maltreatment would be drawn to embrace extremist ideologies as they mature. Children who experience the violence of war in their formative years become traumatized and pessimistic, and view their victimhood as a license to use violence in the future.

Also, how much do you think the Western world is responsible for the current situation which through its unwavering support for Israel has turned Tel Aviv into a “spoiled child” that rejects any offer to end this decades-long crisis?

Numerous attempts have been made over the past 70 years to establish an equitable peace; UN resolutions (GA181, GA242, SC338) the Camp David accords, Oslo I and II, the Arab Peace initiative, the Roadmap and the Abraham accords all attest to that fact. Yet all these efforts have failed primarily for one reason: the U.S. has refused to hold Israel accountable for its violations. Instead, the U.S. has allowed Israel to create an ever-expanding array of “facts on the ground” in the form of illegal settlements, which preclude any conceivable two-state solution.  Further, the U.S. grants Israel over $3 billion in military aid annually and provides political cover for its intransigence as exemplified by having vetoed over 50 Security Council resolutions critical of Israel.

What is the root cause of the crisis in Palestine and what is the solution to this bleeding wound?

With de facto annexation of the West Bank imposed by Israeli military aggression and over 500 checkpoints, Palestinians are denied the right of free movement between the fragmented portions of their historic lands within the West Bank. Gaza is completely isolated physically from the West Bank, and Palestinians in East Jerusalem are being ethnically cleansed from their ancestral homes. Death, danger, denigration, destruction of housing and denial of basic human rights are the daily fare for Palestinians who must constantly struggle to remain on their lands that have been usurped by the now 70-plus-year-old European Zionists’ colonization project.

The U.S. politicians continue to talk of a two-state solution. Unfortunately, a two-state solution is totally unfeasible at this time given the Swiss-cheese-like nature of illegal Israeli settlements and the corresponding overlay of security zones.

What kind of Palestinian state can be envisioned in the West Bank where each Palestinian area is an isolated island unto itself in a sea of Israeli security infrastructure? And what of the 800,000 settlers illegally established by Israel in the West Bank over the last 56 years?

Historically, there have been four options for the Israeli-Palestine “conflict”:

1- Israel can attempt to maintain its status quo as an apartheid regime,

2- Israel can extend its Palestinian genocide from Gaza to the West Bank,

3- The “two-state” solution, with Israel existing alongside a Palestinian state, or

4- A one-state solution: a multi-ethnic, confederation of regional states in place of entirely separate states of Israel and Palestine.

The Israeli regime has employed the first option with ever increasing severity for the last 56 years. This first option has led to the second option, which appears to be the current choice. The third option, still being purveyed by many U.S. leaders, is and has been for decades unfeasible for the above stated reasons. Even if assumed to be feasible, the two-state solution does nothing to alleviate the second-class status of Israel’s Palestinian citizens.

The fourth option would create a confederation of regional Israeli and Palestinian states, which ideally would respect each citizen’s religion and ethnicity while breaking the current, conflict-ridden deadlock. Unfortunately, it would also be the most complex to implement, and would require conceptual vision, persistent determination and significant concessions by all concerned.

Nevertheless, the one-state solution with its inherent justice offers the greatest possibility of ensuring the rights of Israelis and Palestinians, the redress of past violations, as well as the long-term endurance of peace.

The post Biden’s sanguinary stance on Gaza runs counter to wishes of most Americans: analyst appeared first on Iran News Daily.

Cathy Young, the writer of the article, probed the layers of the ongoing massacre in the Gaza Strip with an attempt to blame the U.S. president for the death toll in Israel, so Biden was directly addressed somehow as a convict from Young’s point of view for Zionists’ successive defeats.

Al-Aqsa Storm purely Palestinian 

“We do not have any information to suggest that Iran either directed or orchestrated these attacks by Hamas… we have not yet seen anything to suggest that they supported or were behind this current attack,” said Mathew Miller, spokesperson for the United States Department of State earlier on October 10 regarding claims that Hamas is being backed by Iran.

“Saturday’s assault (Oct. 7)… followed two years of subterfuge by Hamas that involved keeping its military plans under wraps and convincing Israel it did not want a fight,” said Samia Nakhoul to Reuters on October 10.

“They got us,” said Major Nir Dinar, spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces.

The Zionist regime, overconfident about its military capabilities, with a famed intelligence network, contemporary weaponry, and compulsory national service, was shocked by the scale of the Hamas operation.

Advocacy from Zionists: political rivalry

The Biden administration has been facing criticisms over its political stance toward the level of support from the Israeli regime.

The flood of accusations against the Biden administration stems from political rivalries and partisan competition in the United States.

The Biden rivals have not missed any chance to prove each could be a better ally for Netanyahu in the ongoing conflict.

Senator Marsha Blackburn (R. Tenn.), said in an official statement, “We must continue to support our strongest ally in the Middle East and their right to defend themselves against these unprovoked, horrific attacks.”

Representative Dan Bishop (R., N.C.) similarly condemned the White House for its recent dealings with Iran, given Tehran’s support for Hamas.

Senator Rick Scott (R., Fl.) wrote on X that while Biden is silent, his appeasement of Iran and Hamas is heard in every siren blaring across Israel.

Republican Scott went further saying that the White House “didn’t just invite this aggression, we paid for it.”

The State Department has rejected such accusations, insisting that the money associated with the deal “remains in Doha” and is specifically earmarked for social services. “Let’s be clear: the deal to bring U.S. citizens home from Iran has nothing to do with the horrific attack on Israel. Not a penny has been spent, and when it is, it can only go for humanitarian needs like food and medicine. Anything to the contrary is false,” department spokesman Matt Miller wrote on X.

A similar line was taken by National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson. “These funds have absolutely nothing to do with the horrific attacks today and this is not the time to spread disinformation,” Watson wrote on X.

U.S. backs Israel no matter who rules the White House

“First and foremost, the Secretary has been engaged with our Israeli partners to ensure that Israel has everything that it needs to defend itself,” Miller said in his October 10 presser, stressing the efforts of United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken.

“Our support for Israel is unwavering,” said Miller to underline that the Israeli regime would not walk alone in its crimes.

The White House said on Monday that it had expected to fulfill additional security requests from the Israeli regime as quickly as possible. Biden promised replenishment of interceptors used by the Iron Dome missile defense system as well as ammunition in addition to redoubling U.S. military presence in the region.

Upon his arrival to the occupied territories, Blinken, addressing Zionists, said, “You may be strong enough on your own to defend yourself. But as long as America exists, you will never ever have to. We will always be there by your side,” Blinken told Netanyahu.

Blinken also said as Israel’s war machine needs to evolve, Washington would work with Congress to ensure they are met.

The U.S. president confirmed the deployment of military aircraft to occupied territories.

Lloyd Austin, the secretary of defense, also gave the message of “unwavering support” to his Israeli counterpart Yoav Gallant, saying Israel will receive an update on operations to restore security.

John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council in the White House, also said that the United States would announce more aid to the Zionist regime in the coming days.

Some American supporters of the Zionists were briefly enlisted so far just as a reminder for Young to take a deep breath that the occupation regime keeps its massacre, inhumane actions, and bombardment of the residential areas, schools, and hospitals in the Gaza Strip.

What Americans call “the legitimate right to defend” has so far martyred

1799 Palestinians with 583 children among them.

As Netanyahu takes power in Israel, one of the big questions is how it’ll affect Biden’s foreign policy. In the past two years, when Netanyahu wasn’t in power, Russian military action in Ukraine changed the international system. In addition, the conflict caused a rift between Israel and U.S. interests.

Putting this in perspective, the U.S. expects Israel to take a negative stance towards Russia about Ukraine. However, Israel does not want it because it needs Russia to be in Syria, or Israel wants the U.S. not to prioritize diplomacy on the nuclear program. However, the Biden administration hasn’t been willing to distance itself from Iran and put a credible military threat on the table.

Taking Netanyahu’s approach toward the JCPOA shows he’ll use the gap between Democrats and Republicans on the issue to sabotage it until 2024. As a result, if Republicans win in Congress, the opponents of the JCPOA may invite him to give a speech to Congress, just as in the Obama era, so it will be easier for anti-JCPOA policies if Trump or any other anti-JCPOA president takes the helm at the White House after the 2024 presidential election.

Aside from Iran, the presence of the extreme right in Netanyahu’s coalition cabinet are counterproductive to the Biden administration’s foreign policy agenda in reducing attention to the Middle East and instead focus on China:

1. As part of its recent mediation between Lebanon and the Lapid government, the U.S. reached an agreement to ease tensions in the region. 2. As part of the same effort to revive the JCPOA, Netanyahu opposes it openly, contrary to the Lapid government. 3. Due to the negative approach of the Netanyahu government and the extreme right in its coalition cabinet to the cause of Palestine, the Abraham Accords attempts to integrate Israel into the region and reduce tension; however, it will face rejection and weakness from Islamic and Arab countries and it will move away from the goal of convergence and closer to divergence.

Due to his anti-human rights views and the extreme right in his coalition cabinet, Netanyahu might pose a challenge to Biden’s foreign policy, since he’s against minorities, especially Arabs living in Israel and those Palestinian in the West Bank and Gaza. Biden’s foreign policy could be challenged so that if he acts against Israel, he’ll anger his old ally, and if he doesn’t act, he’ll be accused of being selective and dual-minded.

Biden on Thursday vowed to “free” Iran, and said that demonstrators working against the country’s government would soon succeed in freeing themselves.

“Don’t worry, we’re gonna free Iran. They’re gonna free themselves pretty soon,” Biden said during a wide-ranging campaign speech in California, as dozens of demonstrators gathered outside.

Of course everybody knows well that Biden is not in good health condition and he has several times made people laugh because of his gaffes and strange behaviors and many believe that former President Donald Trump was right to call this old clown “Joe Sleepy”.

In fact, for over four decades Iranians are well aware of the ill-intentions of the U.S. aAdministrations no matter it is Jimmy Carter, George Bush, Trump or Biden because all have been determined to bring down the Islamic Revolution but this time Joe Sleepy openly uttered this yearning and showed how he is rude in meddling in internal affairs of other countries.

But reacting to this boast and none-sense remark, Iranian nation and its president reacted firmly to show that Biden is better to keep quiet and to continue his plots secretly to avoid being ridiculed and blamed.

Iranians from all walks of life took to the streets across the country on Friday to mark the anniversary of the U.S. embassy takeover, better known as Den of Espionage, which is named the National Day against the Global Arrogance and they gave a crushing and due response to Biden’s remarks.

The rallies were held in 900 cities on Friday, including in the capital Tehran where demonstrators gathered outside the former U.S. embassy.

Demonstrators chanted slogans as they carried banners against the U.S. and the Israeli regime, strongly condemning the hostile policies of the Global Arrogance against Iran. Some 3,500 Iranian and foreign reporters covered the demonstrations.

The demonstrations turned into a venue to put the unity of Iranians on display. Young people sang a number of songs written in the early years of the Islamic Revolution, bringing to life the air of the Revolution days of 1979 when Iranians put end to the U.S.-backed Pahlavi regime.

People also held placards in support of the security forces who have been confronting foreign-back violent riots in the past few weeks.

The nation showed the U.S. President that he is betting on the wrong horse and he should not tie his yearning to the rioters in Iran.

Meanwhile addressing the demonstrators, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi addressed Biden, telling him Iran was freed more than four decades ago and is no longer under the control of U.S. hegemony.

“I was informed a few hours ago that the President of the United States has uttered some words due to distraction, he said we (the U.S.) are aiming to free Iran”, President Raisi said.

“Iran was freed 43 years ago and is determined not to be occupied by you. And we will never be (your) milk cows,” President Raisi said in response to Biden’s comment.

President Raisi noted “today is the day to fight global supremacy; supremacy is arrogance and selfishness.”

“Today is the symbol and manifestation of the arrogance of the ruling system of the United States, which, according to Imam Khomeini, is the Great Satan and is ready to destroy many nations and people of the world in order to achieve its interests,” Raisi highlighted.

Pointing out to the hegemonic nature of the U.S., Iran’s President underlined that the U.S. ruling system has taken part in more than 300 wars across the world, carrying out 62 coups against the will of the people of different nations, stood behind the deadly atomic bombings in Japan’s Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing millions of people, and participated in the deadliest wars; including the Afghanistan and Vietnam wars, by causing tremendous killing and bloodshed.

The U.S. in recent years have suffered several humiliating defeats in many countries like Afghanistan, Iraq and against Iran, and as the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has said, the U.S. is no untouchable any longer and Washington is better to stop barking or meddling in our countries’ domestic affairs.

We recommend Biden to take a nap or sleep more before speaking and opening his mouth because every time he opens his mouth to say something he becomes a laughing stock even for his nation as his approval rating is nose-diving in the U.S. and over 60% of the Democrat voters have admitted that they will not vote for Biden if he nominates for 2024 presidential election and Iranians  just laugh for the senility of Biden and do not take his nonsense and void remarks seriously.

In a speech he delivered at the Iranian rally on the anniversary of the US embassy takeover, better known as “Den of Espionage”, President Raisi noted “today is the day to fight global supremacy; supremacy is arrogance and selfishness.”

“Today is the symbol and manifestation of the arrogance of the ruling system of the United States, which, according to Imam Khoemini, is the Great Satan and is ready to destroy many nations and people of the world in order to achieve its interests,” Raisi highlighted.

Raisi said, “Had it not been for the move taken by students who followed Imam’s path, the fight against arrogance would be incomplete,” adding that the “Day of Fight against Global Arrogance is a symbol of Iran’s strength.”

Pointing out to the hegemonic nature of the U.S., Iran’s President underlined that the U.S. ruling system has taken part in more than 300 wars across the world, carrying out 62 coups against the will of the people of different nations, stood behind the deadly atomic bombings in Japan’s Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing millions of people, and participated in the deadliest wars; including the Afghanistan and Vietnam wars, by causing tremendous killing and bloodshed.

President Raisi also noted that, “The U.S.’s military interventions in countries in the name of fighting terrorists and liberating nations, founding Takfiri terrorist groups such as Daesh and al-Nusra Front, supporting separatist and terrorist movements, launching sanction systems against independent countries, especially against the Islamic Republic of Iran” are some of the main other crimes committed by the US establishment.

Such examples, according to President Raisi, demonstrate that “the spirit of America is based on arrogance and dominance,” pointing out “the U.S. wants people to think and act like the U.S. and become milk cows for the U.S.”

The Iranian president criticized the U.S. for its crimes against humanity, underscoring that it is strange that at the time the US acknowledged founding and supporting terrorist groups such as Daesh that has been committing crimes across the world, Washington claims to be an advocator and supporter of freedoms and human rights.

Elsewhere in the speech, President Raisi touched on the U.S.-imposed sanctions, underscoring that despite the sanctions (imposed by the US and West), the Islamic Republic of Iran has been able to continue its progress on different levels.

He highlighted that despite sanctions, “the Islamic Republic of Iran is one of the most advanced manufacturers in complex industries; be it nuclear industry or military industry.”

Further elaborating, the president said, “Do you really think that we will be held back by your threats and sanctions? You aim to slow down the pace of the Iranian nation’s movement, but that’s just an illusion. Our men and women will not allow your malicious dreams to come true.”

“Iran is a producing country and has exports. They wanted to reduce oil exports to zero and slow down and stop production in the country, they wanted to isolate the Islamic Republic of Iran, but they failed,” he added.

President Raisi emphasized that “owing to insight and good knowledge of the enemy, the younger generation in Iran today has the same view toward the United States as previous generations.”

Touching on the latest developments in Iran and the protests that were taking place, President Raisi stressed that universities, scientific development and technology are at the heart of targets the U.S. along with the enemies of Iran are trying to hit, with focus on destroying the security and progress of Iran in particular.

Addressing the Iranian nation, President Raisi warned that today, the U.S. and some Western powers have aimed at sabotaging Iran’s national unity and cohesion, saying “the people of Iran, the dear Kurds and Balochs, Turks, Persians, Turkmen, Arabs and everyone should know that the Americans and the enemies of the Islamic Revolution are targeting national unity and cohesion.”

President Raisi also said that the U.S. thought Iran is just another country in the region, in which U.S. ploys could be implemented such as Syria, Libya and other countries, underlining the “U.S. is mistaken and this is just a false imagination.”

President Rasi concluded his speech by further advising the West to learn lessons from the failed policies and not make other attempts against Iran.

On Friday, Iranians from all walks of life took to the streets across the country to mark the anniversary of the US embassy takeover, better known as Den of Espionage, which is named the National Day against the Global Arrogance.

“Police is the main pillar of security,” read one of the placards amid a media war to undermine police forces and turn people against them.

Demonstrators also voiced their strong support for Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei by chanting slogans such as “Labaik ya Khamenei” [I respond to your call O Khamenei], “down with America” and “down with Israel”.

A group of women held placards that read “Hijab is the rule of God not government,” signaling that the propaganda waged by Western media will not harm the Iranian women’s adherence to Islamic rules.

Demonstrators also walked over and set on fire the U.S. and Israeli flags during the rallies which marked President Raisi addressing the rally in Tehran.

The recent wave of unrest has had many ramifications of which the Biden administration’s dithering over talks in Vienna over reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal – officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – is the most glaring.

Since the beginning, the Biden administration has sought to take into account the views of Iran hawks in devising its Iran policy. In a sense, they have sought to appease Iran hawks. To the White House’s chagrin, that has backfired. Despite the Biden administration’s solid promise of resetting U.S. Iran policy, he failed to bring about a meaningful change to what his predecessor put in place.

Now, opponents of Iran policy in Washinton and elsewhere in the world demand further concessions from the White House on Iran, without taking any responsibility for what comes next.

As things stand, the Biden administration has fallen into this trap, declaring that it is no longer focused on reviving the JCPOA. Instead, Biden officials say remain focused on how to support what they call protests in Iran.

“Why haven’t we figured this out sooner?” a U.S. official said of the efforts to smuggle Starlink terminals into Iran in remarks to CNN. “We’re putting so much effort into the JCPOA [nuclear deal]. It’s an ongoing national security interest to get rid of this regime. Here’s how: empower those democrats on the ground in Iran and the number one way to do it is to find ways to support tech like that in the country, and we haven’t, we’ve failed.”

Another senior Biden official told CNN that right now, the JCPOA is “not on the agenda.” National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications John Kirby has echoed that, telling reporters that “we are way far apart with the Iranians in terms of a return to the deal.”

But that seems to be not enough for Iran hawks, who now settle for nothing less than an outright regime change policy on Iran. When U.S. envoy for Iran Rob Malley transgressed diplomatic norms by voicing support for Iran unrest, hawks in Washington shamed him into abandoning diplomatic finesse and taking a tougher line on Iran.

This comes at a time when Iran is sticking to diplomacy even though the Biden administration continues to send out contradictory signals. In his meeting with directors of news agencies participating in the general assembly of the Organization of Asia-Pacific News Agencies (OANA), Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian referred to this contradiction.

“Amir Abdollahian also condemned foreign interference in stoking and supporting some riots and even terrorist measures inside Iran and described them as against the diplomatic approach championed by such countries and their officially-sent messages,” Amir Abdollahian said, according to a statement by the Iranian foreign ministry.

The foreign minister reiterated that the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to reach a good, strong and lasting agreement.

“Amir Abdollahian also advised the American side to end its contradictory remarks and behavior and avoid hypocritically denying what is going on in the messages being exchanged and indirect negotiations,” the statement said.

On Saturday and reacting to what happened in Evin Prison in Iran, Biden once again opened his mouth for uttering such nonsense remarks against Iran while this President has gotten stuck in the mud in domestic affairs in his country.

Biden said on Saturday that “he was surprised by the courage of the people taking to the streets in protest in Iran.”

Reacting to the nonsense remarks of Biden, Iran’s Foreign Ministry vehemently censured the United States over meddling in the Islamic Republic’s domestic affairs as well as Biden’s support for riots in the country.

“On Saturday, Biden interfered for the umpteenth time in Iran’s state matters by supporting the riots as he has done ever since the outbreak of recent developments in Iran,” Nasser Kanaani said in a statement.

This is not the first time that Biden makes people laugh either in Iran, in the U.S. or in the world as this aging President seems losing control of his month and language.

Iranian officials have repeatedly said that the U.S. is not sincere in its words and have asked the nations especially the Iranians not to trust this arrogant country which has nothing to do but fooling the nations to loot their wealth.

The senior Iranian diplomat highlighted that neither Biden’s comments nor Washington’s meddlesome gestures will not surprise Tehran as intervention, aggression, and killing form the backbone of the US political system.

“Since the 1953 coup d’état up until today, the anti-Iranian policies of the US administration have been well recorded in our minds. And of course, the history and every part of the world would testify the wounds that America’s crimes and violence have inflicted,” Kanaani pointed out.

“You (Americans) are accustomed to fishing in troubled waters,” the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry said.

When Biden launched his presidential election campaigns, he vowed to revive the JCPOA with the Islamic Republic of Iran but he has not fulfilled his electoral promise in almost over one and a half years and he is struggling and his approval rating is falling in the U.S. as once again the nightmare of Donal Trump is re-surfacing for him.

As the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Seyed Ali Khamenei told on Friday, the era of unipolarism has ended and the U.S. or any country will be unable to dominate others or meddle in the domestic affairs of other countries.

The U.S. is well aware that major parts of problems in Iran and other countries is the wrong and hostile policies of Washington and its unilateral and cruel sanctions, and Washington is better to stop preaching for other countries and remove sanctions and not to meddle in the other countries’ affairs.

Tehran does not take seriously the remarks of this president who acts like a clown and has turned into being a laughing stock for the world. So Biden is better to mind his business and focus on the current chaotic condition in the U.S. and he is not in a position to condemn Iran or bully countries like Iran because the U.S. itself is the main violator of human rights.

The Islamic of Iran has always been the real supporter of human rights and peaceful protests but when countries like the U.S. are gotten red-handed in those protests, then it has no option but to find infiltrators among the real protesters and history has shown that mercenaries have always turned, in the world, the peaceful rights into violencet and since Iran is the main target of the enemies, one can expect such violent protests by the elements of the enemies which make the enforcement forces to act in self- defense and this self-defense becomes a pretext for clowns like Biden to resort to baseless claims against the Islamic Revolution of Iran and Iranians have no way but to laugh.

In recent decades predominantly in recent years, we have been watching the decline of the arrogant U.S. as the country is losing its dominance over the countries especially some lackey regimes and therefore the country’s presidents have also been losing their influence over other countries. But Mr. Biden is the worst among the U.S. presidents or at least recent polls being conducted in the U.S. claims it.

According to a new poll, Biden has become the least popular modern US president at this period in a term of office. The new Gallup poll as reported by RT on Friday shows Biden’s approval rating hit a new low, dropping for the first time to 38 percent.

Biden’s latest approval rating is down three points from the previous month and 12 points from July 2021. Biden’s approval rating has plummeted to 36 percent as more and more Americans show dissatisfaction with him due to high inflation and rising gas prices in the country, according to a new poll.

Fifty-nine percent believe Biden’s performance has been poor with 45 percent of those who were interviews in the survey “strongly disapproving” the Democratic president’s performance.

However, on the other side of the spectrum Senate Republicans have been skeptical about whether Donald Trump can win the GOP nomination in 2024, or even run for another term in the White House.

One Republican senator, who requested to remain anonymous as reported by The Hill, said the “cascade” of embarrassing details about Trump’s conduct in the weeks before Jan. 6, 2021, and during the attack on the US Capitol will seriously damage his political viability ahead of the 2024 election.

“I don’t think he’ll run again and that’s a good thing, because of the whole cascade of events,” the senator noted.

As the poll shows, Biden is becoming the worst American President in years despite an overwhelming victory in the 2020 presidential election where he defeated his incumbent rival President Donald Trump in an election whose result was questioned by Trump as Trump still insists on rigging in the election.

Most respondents to a Yahoo/YouGov survey conducted earlier this month said neither Trump nor Biden should seek re-election in 2024.

Supporters of the former U.S. president Trump believe they would be “better off” if GOP-led states separated from the rest of the United States, according to a recent poll.

The survey showed most Americans have lost hope in a brighter future with 46 percent saying the next generation will be “worse off” and only 25 percent saying it will be “better off.”

Similarly, 37 percent of respondents in the survey believed America’s best days were “behind us” and just 31 percent showed faith that the best was “still to come”.

As the polls show, the weak performance of Biden both in the domestic or international issues have weakened the Democrats in the society as they may even lose their dominance both in the Congress and the Senate in the mid-term elections to be held by the  yearend.

Biden and his administration are struggling with issues like inflation and fuel price and he has been also unable to fulfill his promise to fully curb the coronavirus and he even contracted the virus in recent days.

In the international scene, Biden has performed very poorly in a way that he has come under attack even by the U.S. allies in the Middle East and his only achievement can be getting closer to Europe especially regarding the Ukraine issue. Issues like Afghanistan and Iran’s nuclear program have led to disgrace for Biden’s Administration.

Most political analysts believe that the senior Democrats will encourage him not to run for the second term in 2026 although he insists he wants to run. Most Democrat voters have said they prefer some other Democrat candidates to Biden to vote for him or her.

So the upcoming mid-term elections in the U.S. for both the Congress and Senate will be decisive for the future of Biden’s decision for running the next term but most political analysts, except some media outlets like CNN, believe that Americans will say “bye-bye” to Biden at the end of November 2016 because he will be no longer the American President for the next term and currently Americans have to tolerate him as president to finish his term because of his failure in fulfilling his presidential campaign promises.
