President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the United States ​had been informed by most of its NATO allies that they did not want to get involved with the country’s military ​operation ‌in Iran, a move he described ⁠as a “very foolish mistake”. Trump’s remarks came as he hosted Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin in the Oval Office to mark St Patrick’s Day.

The post REPLAY: Trump accuses NATO of ‘foolish mistake’ over Strait of Hormuz • FRANCE 24 English appeared first on MASSIVE News.

Rahm Emanuel is one of the very few people who have operated at every level of power in American politics. He’s a former congressman, White House chief of staff under President Obama, two-term mayor of Chicago, and the former ambassador to Japan under President Biden. He also has a very specific lens when it comes to the growing conflict in Iran, as he helped negotiate peace agreements alongside President Clinton in the 1990s and was in the Obama White House as they took the first steps toward the Iran nuclear deal.

During his time in Obama’s administration, Emanuel dealt directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even once getting into an argument with him in the Oval Office.

Emanuel has a complicated personal past with Israel’s prime minister — who publicly called Emanuel a “self-hating Jew” in 2009 — but still very much considers himself pro-Israel. In a conversation with Vox’s Astead Herndon, he shares that he doesn’t believe that Netanyahu took action on Iran unilaterally, based on Netanyahu’s long history with US presidents.

The post Did Netanyahu lead President Trump into war with Iran? #shorts appeared first on MASSIVE News.

Ambassador Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s former chief of staff, says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who’s at the center of the Iran conflict, has isolated Israel like never before.

During his time as President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel dealt directly with Netanyahu, even once getting into an argument with him in the Oval Office. Emanuel’s also one of very few people to have operated at every level of power in American politics, and he has a specific lens when it comes to the growing conflict in Iran.

Emanuel was one of the people who helped negotiate peace agreements alongside President Clinton in the 1990s. He was also in the Obama White House as they took the first steps toward the Iran nuclear deal.

In this interview with Emanuel, Vox’s Astead Herndon asks about the US-Israel relationship as the two countries collaborate on a widening war against Iran and its proxies in the Middle East. This war, according to Emanuel, is as much the responsibility of the Trump administration as it is Israel’s.
