Saudi Arabia Tells Citizens to Leave Lebanon Immediately as Iran Threatens Israel With “War of Annihilation”
Hezbollah continues rocket fire into northern Israel.
After Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah threatened Israel with an ‘all-out’ war, Saudi Arabia has joined the United States and other European countries in urging its citizens to ‘immediately’ leave Lebanon, Arab news outlet report.
Saudi-linked newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported Saturday:
Saudi Arabia has advised its nationals in Lebanon to leave the country immediately, its embassy in Beirut said on its X account on Wednesday.
“The Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the Republic of Lebanon is closely following the developments of the current events in the southern Lebanon region, calling on all citizens to adhere to the travel ban and to leave Lebanese territory immediately for those who are currently in Lebanon,” it said.
Last week, Hezbollah terror chief Hassan Nasrallah threatened to unleash a war with “no restraint and no rules and no ceilings” against Israel. There is “no place in [Israel] that would be spared our rockets and drones,” Nasrallah claimed, whose terror militia has been armed with thousands of rockets and missiles by the Iranian regime, boasted.
After Biden’s debate fiasco, Iran threatens Israel with “war of annihilation”
With President Joe Biden’s disastrous performance at Thursday night’s debate raising serious questions about his cognitive and leadership abilities, Iran has threatened Israel with an “obliterating war.”
Iranian mission at the United Nations warned that “an obliterating war will ensue” if Israel responded militarily to the growing terrorist aggression by its Lebanon-based terrorist proxy Hezbollah.
Iran threatened to unleash a multi-pronged attack on Israel, using its terrorist proxies spread across the Middle East. Tehran had “all options, including the full involvement of all resistance fronts, are on the table,” the Iranian diplomatic mission declared. Besides Hamas and Hezbollah, Iran’s terrorist “resistance fronts” includes Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Yemen’s Houthis, as well as several terror militias based in Syria and Iraq.
Biggest consequence of debate is China, Russia, Iran realize they have a narrowing window of opportunity to exploit US weakness. They know Trump will be tough on them, so they will press their advantage now while Biden is still in WH. US has now entered a period of maximum…

The Jerusalem Post reported Saturday:
Iran’s UN Mission said on X on Saturday that if Israel attacks Lebanon, where the terrorist organization Hezbollah is based, with “full-scale military aggression, an obliterating war will ensue.”
“All options, including the full involvement of all resistance fronts, are on the table,” it said in the post. (…)
A Sunday report by The Telegraph stated that Iran was supplying powerful rockets to Hezbollah through Beirut’s Rafic Al Hariri International Airport and that recent months saw a significant increase in using the airport for storing strategic weapons.
Another painful example of Biden’s disastrous performance — what is so dangerous is that the leaders of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea were watching Biden’s horrifying weakness and considering their next wicked moves. https://t.co/yVUr8D9EBb

While the Biden administration is withholding the key weapons shipments, and telling Israel ‘not to escalate’ tensions with Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terrorist group continued relentless cross-border rocket and drone attacks into northern Israel.

“Following the sirens that sounded over the past hour in northern Israel, three hostile UAVs were identified crossing from Lebanon into northern Israel and fell in the Western Galilee area,” the IDF said in a press release Saturday. “Furthermore, approximately 25 launches were identified that crossed from Lebanon toward the western Galilee and Galilee panhandle areas.”
“Israel Fire Services are currently operating to extinguish numerous fires that were ignited as a result of the attack,” the IDF statement added.
Since October 7, Hezbollah intensified cross-border rocket and mortar attacks into Israel. Around 60,000 Israeli civilians from towns along the border with Lebanon have been forced to flee their homes, recent media reports say.
Netanyahu: Iran planning to topple regimes in Jordan, Saudi Arabia
With the sitting U.S. president in visible physical and cognitive decline, Iran is reportedly plotting to take down Arab regimes.
Put aside partisan politics for a second.
Our enemies see this. Why wouldn’t they take advantage of it? Nobody honestly believes he is capable of making important decisions.
Biden should step down today.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday warned of Iranian plans to topple regimes in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Iranian terror proxies were “on a march to conquer the Middle East… to conquer Saudi Arabia, conquer the Arabian peninsula,” Netanyahu told a group of visiting retired high-ranking U.S. military officials.
The Times of Israel reported Friday:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday warned visiting former US generals and admirals that Iran hopes to topple Middle Eastern regimes such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and that the first step to stopping their plan was to defeat Hamas.
At a meeting in Tel Aviv’s Defense Ministry headquarters, Netanyahu told the delegation sent by the Jewish Institute for National Security of America that the ongoing “seven-front” conflict was being managed by Israel’s arch-foe Iran, which sought to conquer its regional neighbors, namely Jordan.
“Their goal is to have a combined ground offensive from various fronts, coupled with a combined missile bombardment. We’ve been given an opportunity to scuttle it,” Netanyahu said. “The first requirement is to cut that hand, Hamas.”
“The people who did this thing to us are not going to be there,” he pledged, in an apparent reference to the October 7 massacre, and the ongoing attacks against Israel by Iranian proxies across the region. “We face a long battle — I don’t think it’s that long — but we’ll get rid of them.”
Netanyahu added that Israel also must “deter the other elements of the Iran terror axis,” referring to Iranian proxies operating in the Middle East.
“But we have to deal with the axis,” he said, arguing that the Iran-backed alliance is “on a march to conquer the Middle East… to conquer Saudi Arabia, conquer the Arabian peninsula.”
“It’s just a question of time,” he added.
“What’s standing in the way?” he asked. “The ‘small Satans’ — that’s us,” he added, referencing Iran’s disparaging nickname for Israel.
Netanyahu said Iran plans on later going after the “medium-sized Satans” — Europe — then the American “Great Satan.”
IDF continues ground operation in Rafah, northern Gaza
After weeks of heavy close-quarters fighting, the IDF was made significant inroads into the Hamas stronghold of Rafah. The military was in control of some 70 percent of the Rafah and had decimated the leadership structure of Hamas’s terrorist fighting force in the bastion.
“The IDF is continuing targeted, intelligence-based operational activity in the Rafah area,” the military added. “Over the past day, IDF ground troops eliminated numerous terrorists in the area, and with the [Israeli Air Force] IAF, dismantled a large amount of terrorist infrastructure, including underground terror tunnel shafts.”
The i24NEWS reported IDF advance in Rafah Saturday:
After a month and a half after the start of operation in Rafah in Gaza’s southmost city, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Friday claimed control of approximately 70% of the area. The Israeli military said Hamas’ operations frameworks have been disintegrated.
The group is said to have shifted from organized and hierarchical fighting to guerrilla warfare in small squads. The Hamas’ Rafah Brigade has not been eliminated, but “it is not certain that if one gives orders, there will be anyone who receives them,” said a senior officer in the area.
Troops of the 7th Armored Brigade located a long-range Hamas rocket launcher adjacent to a school in Gaza City's Shejaiya neighborhood, the IDF says.
The finding comes amid a pinpoint raid in the neighborhood, launched on Thursday. The military said the operation, carried out by… pic.twitter.com/I2QK1wysHz

The Israeli ground troops were also taking on re-grouped Hamas terror fighters in the northern Gaza town of Shejaiya. “IDF troops are continuing operational activity against terror targets in the Shejaiya area, fighting simultaneously above and below ground,” the Israeli military disclosed Saturday. “Over the past day, the troops eliminated a large number of terrorists and located a weapons storage facility within a school compound in the area.”

Did Nasrallah come above ground to say that? He usually is a mole, far underground with elaborate measures against electronic detection. He’s rarely above ground because he knows that if he surfaces the Israelis will whack him.
He’s a coward, and his people in Hezbollah fight like cowards.
Nasrallah forgot to mention that they have the aid of virtually all U.S. journalists and ivy league schools.
Need more proof that stolen elections have consequences?
Move on.
Might as well. Nothing to see here.
Need more proof that China, Iran and Russia were never on the side of Pres. Trump, but willingly and quickly took advantage of the extra weak Democrat?
The left persists in saying that Biden is tough, but tough on what? His handlers? His teleprompter programmers? Certainly not America’s enemies, foreign or domestic.
Biden will side with Iran, while the Saudis side with Israel. Stranger things have happened. Strange world.
Someone needs to completely defang Iran in the very near future. That means destroying their military capabilities and taking control of the oil fields from them. It has to be done and it is the only way to stop the insane and constant threat to all civilization that comes out of Iran. They must be neutered and left without any of the power or money that comes from gulf oil fields.
And that needs to be a lesson to the rest of the middle east what is on the horizon, too. They have all, too long, been allowed to threaten the civilized world with their barbarity and insanity. They have existed only because we have allowed them to – which was a big, big mistake (though the Cold War was a major impediment to fixing that that has long been gone).
We also need to be quiet with skill and tech.
From what I have seen in studies of vibration in centrifugal compressors that are vital to petroleum refining in Iran and other mideast oil states, it is only a matter of time until it self-destructs. Let them destroy themselves.
Right…

While wars rage worldwide on Biden’s watch, with the predations of the world’s malignant and totalitarian states and regimes directly enabled and emboldened by Biden’s and the Dhimmi-crats’ stupidity, gullibility, naivete, narcissism and appeasement, legacy/Dhimmi-crat media shillls/puppets/trained seals/lapdogs such as Nicholas Kristoff, Thomas Friedman and their wretched ilk assure us that a second Trump term would bring “chaos.”
Newsflash to these vile twits — chaos is already here, courtesy of Biden.
LOL. Threatens with someone else’s military. Iran has already been humiliated.
I’m so old, I remember when Lebanon and Michigan were mainly Christian.
And Minnesota
And Ohio
And NYC (is it widely known that swaths of NYC are patrolled by Sharia Police?)
And Belgium, and UK.
And France.
And Germany.
And Sweden
Israelis are fighting for their homes and families. They will unleash holy hell on Hezbollah and that will be the end of that.
Does anyone think that Israel will just sit back and let themselves be bombed by Iran?
Not a chance in hell. If they don’t preempt it, they will go full MAD. And who could blame them?
Israel is getting the shaft from Biden et al., and Iran has taken notice (after they cashed the check from Biden of course).
And after the Biden Syndiocate received their share.
If the Iranians or the gazans or the Lebanese or the Yemenites or the democrats really wanted this fighting and killing and dying to end, then they’d demand that all Israelis captured in October 7 be released.
Nobody is calling for release of Israeli captives
Nobody is calling for a pause in the raping and forced conversions of Jewish captives
From their point of view, they have never before had so much support worldwide for their cause: the elimination of all traces of nonmuslims from that salty river in the east… to that Mediterranean Sea in the west.
So from their point of view they’d be nuts to compromise in any way, on any issue.
My guess is they’re already drawing up plans for the next round of October 7-like massacres in other vulnerable, peacenik-type places.
Anybody recall WWII at all?
From 1940 when France, Norway, Belgium, Holland were defeated … until December 7, 1941 when Pearl Harbor was attacked,
Britain was the only country standing up against Nazi conquest.
That’s about a year and a half, right?
Americans felt strongly about staying out of “another European war.”
Even when Nazi Germany was infiltrating Argentina in late 1930s early 1940s, many many well-spoken Americans argued that “it’s not our problem”
Kinda like the not-our-problem folks of today — eg tucker Carlson and others
This fight is coming to America. Whether we like it or not. Sooner or later. No matter what we do
Iran has been calling for the destruction of America for 45 years
Tucker Carlson is a smart guy with a sense of humor
Tucker and others say they’re opposed to “endless war”
He never never never ever ever even gives lip service to the endless warfare against The West and America in particular
It is so childish. Naive. Uniformed.
But he and his ilk seem to get a weird, holier-than-everyone-else by spouting off
As If The Israeli Jews and the Israeli Druze and the Israeli Christian’s and the Israeli Muslims had nothing better to do than to get attacked by Hamas. And then rocketed weekly from Lebanon and from Ziraq and from Yemen
For months with no end in sight
Hey Tucker if your wife and daughter were nine months in gaza, getting raped, when would you say “the war should end”
The genius of the Iranian way of war is that they are never in the wrong. Just ask ‘em.
They are offended — deeply offended — by our existence.
And so in self-defense they’ intend to conquer us.
Whether we like it or not.
People like Tucker Carlson and Jake Sullivan actually seem to believe that the Iranians give a sh:t what Tucker Carlson and Jake Sullivan think.
