Iranian general says country ready for ‘full-fledged war’ with US-Amir Ali Hajizadeh warns that American bases up to 2,000 kilometers away are ‘within the range of our missiles,’ after Washington blamed Tehran for Houthi attack on Saudi oil-By TOI staff and Agencies-SEPT 15,19
A top Iranian commander warned on Sunday that Tehran was prepared for an all-out war with the United States and said his country could launch advanced missiles at US bases and aircraft carriers within a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,242 miles).The statement appeared to be a response to Washington casting blame on Iran Saturday after Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched drone attacks on the world’s largest oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia and a major oil field, sparking huge fires at a vulnerable chokepoint for global energy supplies.Saudi Arabia’s energy minister said the kingdom was temporarily halting production at two Aramco oil facilities that were attacked by the Yemeni rebels, interrupting about half of the company’s total output.The Iranian-backed Houthis, who hold Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, and other territory in the Arab world’s poorest country, took responsibility for the attacks in the war against a Saudi-led coalition that has fought since 2015 to reinstate the internationally recognized Yemeni government. But the US blamed Iran, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeting, “There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen.”“Iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply,” Pompeo added.On Sunday, the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Aerospace Force, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, was quoted by the semi-official Tasnim news agency as saying: “Everybody should know that all American bases and their aircraft carriers in a distance of up to 2,000 kilometers around Iran are within the range of our missiles,” according to Reuters.“Iran has always been ready for a ‘full-fledged’ war,” Hajizadeh added, without directly mentioning the attacks in Saudi Arabia.Also on Sunday, Iran’s foreign ministry dismissed the US accusations as “meaningless,” suggesting they were a pretext to retaliate against the Islamic Republic.“Such fruitless and blind accusations and remarks are incomprehensible and meaningless,” ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi was quoted as saying in a statement.The allegations over Saturday’s strikes were meant to justify “future actions” against Iran, he added.The drone attacks affected up to half of the supplies from the world’s largest exporter of oil, though the output should be restored within days, multiple news outlets reported, citing unidentified sources. It was unclear whether anyone was injured at the Abqaiq oil processing facility and the Khurais oil field.The attacks followed weeks of similar drone assaults on the kingdom’s oil infrastructure, but none of the earlier strikes appeared to have caused the same amount of damage. The attacks likely will further increase tensions across the Persian Gulf amid an escalating crisis between the US and Iran over its unraveling nuclear deal with world powers.Iran has stepped up its verbal attacks on the United States in reaction to President Donald Trump nixing the 2015 nuclear deal and ramping up economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic, which have hobbled its economy.Nevertheless, there has been talk of a potential meeting between Trump and his Iranian counterpart, Hassan Rouhani, although the latter has said bilateral talks with the US are useless unless sanctions are lifted first. While Trump has said he is ready for a meetup with no preconditions, US Treasury chief Steve Mnuchin said Thursday that such a meeting was not yet in the cards.
US blames Iran after attacks on Saudi oil facilities cripple production-Riyadh says it is halting work at two plants targeted by drones in assault claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels; Pompeo accuses Iran of ‘unprecedented attack’-By AP-TOI-SEPT 15,19
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The US cast blame on Iran Saturday after Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched drone attacks on the world’s largest oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia and a major oil field, sparking huge fires at a vulnerable chokepoint for global energy supplies.The drone attacks affected up to half of the supplies from the world’s largest exporter of oil, though the output should be restored within days, multiple news outlets reported, citing unidentified sources. It was unclear whether anyone was injured at the Abqaiq oil processing facility and the Khurais oil field.Saudi Arabia’s energy minister said the kingdom was temporarily halting production at two Aramco oil facilities that were attacked by the Yemeni rebels, interrupting about half of the company’s total output, the energy minister said Saturday.The attacks “resulted in a temporary suspension of production at Abqaiq and Khurais plants,” Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, the energy minister said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.The attacks follow weeks of similar drone assaults on the kingdom’s oil infrastructure, but none of the earlier strikes appeared to have caused the same amount of damage. The attacks likely will further increase tensions across the Persian Gulf amid an escalating crisis between the US and Iran over its unraveling nuclear deal with world powers.The Iranian-backed Houthis, who hold Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, and other territory in the Arab world’s poorest country, took responsibility for the attacks in the war against a Saudi-led coalition that has fought since 2015 to reinstate the internationally recognized Yemeni government. But the US blamed Iran, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeting, “There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen.”“Iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply,” Pompeo added.In a short address aired by the Houthi’s Al-Masirah satellite news channel, military spokesman Yahia Sarie said the rebels launched 10 drones after receiving “intelligence” support from those inside the kingdom. He warned that attacks by the rebels would only get worse if the war continues.“The only option for the Saudi government is to stop attacking us,” Sarie said.Houthi rebels have been using drones in combat since the start of the Saudi-led war. The first appeared to be off-the-shelf, hobby-kit-style drones. Later, versions nearly identical to Iranian models turned up. Iran denies supplying the Houthis with weapons, although the UN, the West and Gulf Arab nations say Tehran does.UN investigators said the Houthis’ new UAV-X drone likely has a range of up to 1,500 kilometers (930 miles). That puts the far reaches of both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in range.First word of Saturday’s assault came in online videos of giant fires at the Abqaiq facility, some 330 kilometers (205 miles) northeast of the Saudi capital, Riyadh. Machine-gun fire could be heard in several clips alongside the day’s first Muslim call to prayers, suggesting security forces tried to bring down the drones just before dawn. In daylight, Saudi state television aired a segment with its local correspondent near a police checkpoint, a thick plume of smoke visible behind him.In a statement carried by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, the Interior Ministry said an investigation was underway.“These attacks resulted in production suspension of 5.7 million barrels of crude oil per day,” the state-owned Aramco said in a statement.US President Donald Trump called Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to offer his support for the kingdom’s defense, the White House said. The crown prince assured Trump that Saudi Arabia is “willing and able to confront and deal with this terrorist aggression,” according to a news release from the Saudi Embassy in Washington.The US Embassy in Riyadh said it was unaware of any injuries to Americans. Saudi Aramco employs a number of US citizens, some of whom live in guarded compounds near the site.Saudi Aramco describes its Abqaiq oil processing facility in Buqyaq as “the largest crude oil stabilization plant in the world.”The facility processes sour crude oil into sweet crude, then transports it onto transshipment points on the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea or to refineries for local production. Estimates suggest it can process up to 7 million barrels of crude oil a day. By comparison, Saudi Arabia produced 9.65 million barrels of crude oil a day in July.The Khurais oil field is believed to produce over 1 million barrels of crude oil a day. It has estimated reserves of over 20 billion barrels of oil, according to Aramco.There was no immediate impact on global oil prices as markets were closed for the weekend. Benchmark Brent crude had been trading at just above $60 a barrel.While Saudi Arabia has taken steps to protect itself and its oil infrastructure, analysts had warned that Abqaiq remained vulnerable. The Rapidan Energy Group, a Washington-based advisory group, warned in May that “a successful attack could lead to a monthslong disruption of most Saudi production and nearly all spare production.” It called Abqaiq, close to the eastern Saudi city of Dammam, “the most important oil facility in the world.”The war has become the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. The violence has pushed Yemen to the brink of famine and killed more than 90,000 people since 2015, according to the U.S.-based Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, or ACLED, which tracks the conflict.The rebels have flown drones into the radar arrays of Saudi Arabia’s Patriot missile batteries, according to Conflict Armament Research, disabling them and allowing the Houthis to fire ballistic missiles into the kingdom unchallenged. The Houthis launched drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia’s crucial East-West Pipeline in May. In August, Houthi drones struck Saudi Arabia’s Shaybah oil field.
EZEKIEL 39:1-29
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee,(300 MILIION RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS GET NUKED BY ISRAEL) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou,(RUSSIA) and all thy bands,(RUSSIA SUPPORTED WITH WEAPONS-ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley (JORDAN) of the passengers on the east of the (DEAD) sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
I MANAGED TO GET ENOUGH STRENGTH TO DO THESE 2 IMPORTANT STORIES. ISRAEL HAS TO BE IN CONTROL OF THE JORDAN VALLEY. BECAUSE IN THE SPRING OF THE YEAR.I BELIEVE THIS WAR WILL OCCUR. AND THE 300 MILLION DEAD RUSSIA-MUSLIMS WILL NEED A BURIEL SITE. THE BURIEL SITE WILL BE CALLED THE VALLEY OF HAMONGOG.AND IF ISRAELS IN CONTROL OF THE JORDAN VALLEY. THEY CAN BURRY THEM IN THE JORDAN VALLEY. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THERE WILL BE A MUSLIM CITY BUILT THERE. I BELIEVE. SINCE THE MUSLIMS WILL LOSE 300 MILLION IN THIS WAR. ISRAEL WILL GIVE THEM THEIR OWN CITY (HAMONAH).DOWN BY THE BURIEL SITE. AND ALSO AT THE MIDPOINT OF THE TRIBULATION PEROD. THE ISRAELIS WILL FLEE TO PETRA JORDAN THIS SAME WAY I BELIEVE. SO THIS DEFINATELY IS A PROPHECY MOVE BY BENJAMIN NETANYAHU.THIS WAR MUST HAPPEN IN THE SPRING OR FALL SINCE THE 500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS ARE IN ISRAEL AT THIS TIME. I BELIEVE THIS WAR WILL BE IN THE SPRING. SINCE ISRAELS WAR TIME WAS THE SPRING OF THE YEAR.
2 Samuel 11:1 In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.
MATTHEW 24:15-21 (ISRAELIS FLEE TO PETRA JORDAN AT MIDPOINT TRIBULATION PERIOD)
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
European powers condemn Netanyahu vow to annex Jordan Valley-France, Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom issue joint statement warning move would be ‘a serious breach of international law’-By TOI staff-13 September 2019, 4:48 am
Five leading European powers issued a joint statement late Thursday condemning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pledge to extend Israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley, saying it would be “a serious breach of international law.”“France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom are deeply concerned about the announcement of a possible annexation of areas in the West Bank, particularly the Jordan valley and the northern shore of the Dead Sea,” the statement said.“This would, if implemented, constitute a serious breach of international law,” it said, warning that such moves “imperil the viability of a two-state solution, based on the 1967 lines, and make it harder to achieve a just and lasting peace.”The statement also condemned recent rocket fire from Gaza into Israel,“We are clear about Israel’s right to security and strongly condemn recent attacks on Israel from Gaza,” it said.The European countries’ condemnation joined widespread international opposition to the announcement.Battling to win reelection on September 17, Netanyahu issued the pledge on Tuesday night, drawing firm condemnation from the Palestinians, Arab states, the United Nations and the European Union.He also repeated his intention to annex Israeli settlements in the wider West Bank, but in coordination with US President Donald Trump.The US has so far been silent on the issue.On Wednesday, Russia also warned Netanyahu’s pledge could escalate tensions.The Russian foreign ministry said it was concerned over the Israeli leadership’s plan, saying its implementation could lead to a “sharp escalation of tensions in the region (and) undermine hopes for the establishment of long-awaited peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors.”The warning came ahead of Netanyahu’s visit to Russia to meet with President Vladimir Putin.King Salman of Saudi Arabia reiterated his country’s condemnation of in a phone call Thursday with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.“The king reiterated… Saudi Arabia’s condemnation and categorical rejection of the Israeli prime minister’s declaration on his intention to annex lands from the West Bank,” the official Saudi Press Agency reported.At Saudi Arabia’s request, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation — a 57-member pan-Islamic body — said it will hold an emergency foreign ministers’ meeting on Sunday, two days before Israel’s election, to discuss the “Israeli escalation.”Agencies contributed to this report.
Settlement ‘islands’: Bennett unveils Trump’s purported plan for West Bank-Alleged proposal would limit Israeli control to isolated enclaves and the Jordan Valley, deliver majority of territory to Palestinians-By TOI staff -SEPT 15,19 11:12 am
Yamina candidate Naftali Bennett unveiled Sunday what he claimed to be the long-delayed Trump peace plan’s plan for dividing the West Bank.The alleged plan, shared by Bennett on Facebook together with a map, shows what he calls “islands” of Israeli control surrounded by a majority of the West Bank set aside for a Palestinian state.The map shows the Jordan Valley as Israeli.The right-wing leader slammed the plan as “hell” for Israelis living in the West Bank, and the de facto end of the settlement enterprise.“Folks, it’s time to reveal: This is the ‘Islands Plan’ of the deal of the century, which will be dropped on us right after the elections,” Bennett wrote.“In black — Palestine. In white, isolated Israeli ‘islands’ in an ocean of Palestine, surrounded 360 degrees by Hamas, Tanzim, PLO,” he wrote.He called the map “hell for every resident of Ariel, Ofra and Kiryat Arba. An end to the settlement.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “spoke of sovereignty in the ‘settlements,’ but intentionally avoided saying, ‘sovereignty over Area C,'” the roughly 60 percent of the West Bank under full Israeli control.“He promised no more evacuation of any settlement,” Bennett went on, charging, “All this is technically true, but in practice the plan consigns the land of Israel to oblivion. Because no Israeli will agree to live in an enclave surrounded by an enemy. This is just like Netzarim in Gush Katif [in Gaza], a narrow road leading to a settlement surrounded by a wall. That’s the plan.”He accused Netanyahu of trying to hide the Trump plan from the public.“Netanyahu only presented the cherry on top of the deal of the century — sovereignty in the Jordan Valley. Did you ask yourselves, so what did he pay for it? Why would Trump wait with publicizing the plan? Did you ask yourselves why he’s trying to wipe out Yamina, as he did four months ago [with New Right]? The answer is the ‘islands plan.’ It’s coming. Wake up! “Only a strong and large Yamina will stop the ‘islands in Palestine’ plan,” he vowed.It was not clear how Bennett had obtained information on the plan, which has been a closely guarded secret of the Trump administration, known only to a few advisers working on it, including the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, peace envoy Jason Greenblatt, and ambassador to Israel David Friedman.Likud’s spokesman Yonatan Urich denied Bennett’s claims, calling them “fake news.”“The map Bennett posted isn’t correct. Fake news. Not the view of the Trump administration. It’s not clear why Bennett is so eager to undermine our sensitive relationship with the Trump administration for the sake of a tweet,” Urich wrote in a Twitter post.Netanyahu himself has said the plan would be made public shortly after the September 17 elections.Netanyahu promised last Tuesday to carry out what appears in Bennett’s map to be part of the plan — applying Israeli sovereignty over the Jordan Valley — if he wins the election. The promise drew sharp rebuke from right-wing parties, who depicted it as a cynical bid to siphon away their votes, and questioned if Netanyahu really intended to carry out the annexation.Yamina chair Ayelet Shaked on Wednesday welcomed Netanyahu’s pledge, but warned it was “just a declaration. There is no action here. [Former prime minister Menachem] Begin, when he wanted to apply sovereignty, advanced legislation in a single day in three votes to extend sovereignty to the Golan Heights,” she said. “Applying sovereignty [to the Jordan Valley] can be done in a cabinet decision. There is no need for legislation. And should there be a diplomatic need, it can also be done by a transitional government — there is no legal impediment,” she said, indicating that Netanyahu didn’t have any need to wait until after the upcoming elections.US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last week that the US would present its peace plan within weeks. The economic part of the plan was reviewed during a June economic conference in Bahrain that was not attended by Israeli or Palestinian officials.Kushner and Greenblatt, a former lawyer with the Trump Organization, have been working for the last two and a half years on the administration’s peace plan.The White House announced last week that Greenblatt would be stepping down to return to New Jersey to be with his wife and six children.Greenblatt will be replaced by Avi Berkowitz, a senior aide to Kushner who has been present in many of the meetings and discussions related to the peace proposal.In New York, Greenblatt revealed last week that the Trump administration discussed presenting the peace plan even before the previous elections in Israel on April 9, but decided to wait as Washington officials felt it would not “be appreciated” in Israel if the administration was perceived as favoring Netanyahu, according to Jewish Insider.Those elections failed to produce a coalition and Netanyahu dissolved parliament, calling a fresh vote for September and leading Washington to delay the plan’s release.Greenblatt said Washington has not yet decided whether to publicize the plan in the period between the election and the formation of the next Israeli government, which could take several weeks.“I think there’s a good possibility that we will put it out after the election,” Greenblatt said. “But I think we have to wait and see what happens with the election and what happens in the weeks following the election — in terms of what the coalition-building looks like. So no decision has been made yet.”Greenblatt later seemed to change his mind about leaving, saying last week he may stay on to see the administration’s peace proposal through.“Although I have announced my departure, I am trying to stay until the plan is launched,” Greenblatt said. “If the plan is launched soon, I will stay. And if the plan is launched and we get traction, I hope to stay longer — and I have my family’s support for it.”The Palestinians, who broke ties with the Trump administration after its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in 2017 and move of the US embassy there last year, have rejected the plan out of hand as lopsided in Israel’s favor.
