Zionist Entity Acts at ‘Military Level’ Amid US Sanctions on Iran

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says he had “insisted” that the US re-impose sanctions on Iran, adding Tel Aviv complements economic pressures with its own actions “at the military level.”

US President Donald Trump “is acting against Iran at the economic level and we here in Israel are acting against Iran at the military level,” Netanyahu said in an address to Israeli military cadets on Thursday.

By military actions, Netanyahu apparently meant airstrikes against what Israel calls Iranian positions in Syria.

The attacks are part of Israel’s efforts to prop up terrorists in the face of the Syrian army advances.   

Last week, an Israeli intelligence website refuted Tel Aviv’s claims that a recent aerial raid in Syria had targeted Iranian military advisers and Hezbollah fighters, saying the attack actually hit Arab Syrian army positions.

In an apparent bid to soothe Israel, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Tuesday Washington would continue to work closely with Israel over Syria and Iran.

Speaking in a meeting with Netanyahu in Brazil, the top US diplomat said Trump’s announcement of pulling out troops from Syria “in no way changes anything that this administration is working on alongside Israel.”

He said US commitment to counter what he called Iranian aggression and “the protection of Israel continues in the same way it did before” Trump made the decision.

Iran has been offering advisory military assistance to the Syrian government in its counter-terrorism battle at the request of Damascus.

The US, Israel, France, Britain and their regional allies such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Turkey and Qatar, instead, have been sponsoring terrorists in Syria since 2011.

America’s most foreign allies in the war against Syria, particularly Israel and Saudi Arabia, are opposing Trump’s plans to withdraw troops from Syria.
