@SaraJade_13 After all it's crimes and lies asking Australians to trust Israel to investigate itself is like pissing on us all. The government is treating us with utter contempt on this.
Making a deal with Iran would require Trump to formally accept the defeat of his regime change war and return at least some of Iran's stolen ("frozen") assets. He hasn't been willing to do that, so has spent weeks stalling for time. That gave Israel an opening to act as a spoiler, which it seized by escalating its aggression against Lebanon.
Perhaps Israel and the US thought that Iran was desperate enough for a deal to stand down. By striking Israel today, Iran has shown that it will not abandon Hezbollah and south Lebanon.
Now the onus is back on Trump: is he willing to respect Iran and Lebanon as sovereign nations and have peace, or is the cause of Greater Israel worth continuing the war.
@JoanneHorniman@AlboMP Albo will say something like "I'm not going to do a running commentary" while he watches the US break international law by attacking Cuba. He's just a piss ant.
@SusanSmithAus I agree with that official. Trump is the person responsible for this whole catastrophe and why it's not being resolved. His incompetence, hubris, stupidity, ego, etc, etc, all contribute.
