I just want to say I'm quite grateful for this kind of news summary, and I klnow it takes a lot to put it together.

News sources are all about trust, and while I grew up in previous decades reading the NYT, WaPo, and so on, I find their coverage these days to be woefully incomplete (rarely do they interview officials in Iran, Russia, China, India, Israel, and so on) and what they report is far too biased. They don't need to be "objective" but certainly aim for fairness.

Having Drop Site provide original reporting from reporters based in other countries, and then provide a curatorial service of a news round-up from various sources, helps a lot. A tip o' the hat to you all. Thank you!

<Trump claimed that the U.S. “knew nothing” about Israel’s attack on the gas field,>

What a curious fellow. Says he knows nothing, and thinks he can do anything.

Is the Iran war a gift from Trump to Putin? Two tankers of oil on the way to Cuba while the US has blocked oil transfers from Venezuela and Mexico. This while Russia is assisting Iran with intelligence and other material support. Quite a racket those two have going.

The Federal Bureau of Israel will come after those who speak the truth:

"FBI investigates former counterterrorism chief after resignation over Iran war: The FBI has opened a leak investigation into former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, focusing on allegations he improperly shared classified information, according to people familiar with the probe cited by Semafor. Kent resigned Tuesday, stating Iran posed no imminent threat and accusing President Donald Trump of launching the war under pressure from Israel."

I really think the Trump administration doesn't realize America has other friendly allies besides Israel. How can we make enemies of NATO it doesn't make sense. How blind is this government to

the zionist Israels control of America's DESTINY.

Greater Israel = Zionist version of LEBENSRAUM. The IDF terrorists have already built 5 military bases in S Lebanon. They have sprayed tons of glyphosate, a known carcinogenic herbicide, on square miles of Lebanese farmland. The previously occupied Syrian Golan Heights have been annexed (with tRump's permission) and the terrorists are moving deeper into Syria.

Lebanon and Syria are incapable of resisting Zionist expansion. Iran may be the last obstacle to taking more land from their neighbors. And we support all of this, and the Gaza Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing of the West Bank, with $$, weapons and political cover.

It's hard to be proud of "my" President and Country. Especially if you watch foreign or alternative news like TYT.com or RT.com.

Funny how fast gcc et al could meet and get on the same page. Not that I ever thought a single one of those dictators gave a shit about palestinians,or people in their own countries, but man was that an image to see them all rally in riyadh.

China makes nice to Tiawan by helping them meet their energy needs. I wonder if they'll make the same offer to Japan and South Korea. Geopolitical shifts are in the wind. Can you feel the refreshing breese of multipolarity in the otherwise purtrid air surrounding Isreal and USA hegamony. It's coming folks breath it in and drift with it.

It's really great to have Drop Site's reporting. I would, however, like to note (and other commenters to Drop Site articles have noticed this as well) that these articles never discuss/disclose any information about damage to Israel's infrastructure/deaths/etc.

Thank you Drop Site! The first casualty in war is truth, and you guys have dodged the bullets masterfully.
