‘No’: Biden Won’t Support Possible Israeli Strike On Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Sites
Also, IDF eliminates dozens of Hezbollah commanders, uncovers heavy weaponry in south Lebanon homes.
As Israel considers a military response to this week’s Iranian missile attack, President Joe Biden is telling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government not to target the Iranian nuclear weapons program. The U.S. will ‘not support’ possible Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear weapons sites, President Biden told reporters Wednesday.
Iran launched around 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday night. The aerial attack comes as Tehran — under the Biden administration’s watch — rushes towards acquiring a nuclear weapon and possesses several nuclear-capable ballistic missiles.
Since October 7, the Biden administration has been disrupting Israel’s ability to target Iran and its terrorist proxies. When Iran in April fired hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel, Biden refused to back an Israeli counter-strike, telling Prime Minister Netanyahu to “take the win,” referring to Israel’s ability to intercept almost all of the incoming projectiles. The Biden administration reportedly withheld weapons shipments to Israel, impacting the IDF’s Gaza operation and the planned offensive against Hamas’s stronghold of Rafah.
Biden says "no," he does not support an attack on Iran's nuclear sites by Israel.

The Associated Press reported Biden’s remarks:
President Joe Biden said Wednesday he will not support an Israeli strike on sites related to Tehran’s nuclear program in response to Iran’s missile attack on Israel.
“The answer is no,” Biden told reporters when asked if he would support such retaliation after Iran fired about 180 missiles at Israel on Tuesday.
Biden’s comments came after he and fellow Group of Seven leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom spoke by telephone about coordinating new sanctions against Iran.
By unleashing a barrage of ballistic missiles, Iran has once again declared its well-stated intention to destroy the Jewish State. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government should respond to the latest Iranian aggression by taking out Iran’s nuclear weapons program, Pr0fessor William A. Jacobson commented in his Tuesday’s Legal Insurrection vlog.
“Imagine if these missiles had nuclear weapons on them—only 10 minutes flying time from Tehran. This is an opportunity for Israel to take out the Iranian nuclear program,” Pr0fessor Jacobson said.
“Whether [Israelis] will do it, I don’t know. Perhaps by the time you listen to this, we will know. But the situation is never going to be better for Israel to end the existential threat by the death cult who chants “Death to Israel” as their organizing political slogan,” he added.
South Lebanon ground op: IDF eliminates dozens of Hezbollah commanders, uncovers heavy weaponry in civilians homes
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) eliminated hundreds of Hezbollah terrorist fighters and dozens of commanders since the ground operations in southern Lebanon began Monday night. “The Israeli military eliminated 250 Hezbollah terrorists including 21 commanders in four days of ground combat,” Israel’s i24NEWS TV reported Friday citing IDF figures.
The Israeli raids “based on precise intelligence, have been targeting compounds concealed within civilian villages,” the IDF said in a statement Friday. The IDF “forces have been eliminating terrorists from the air and at close range in southern Lebanon,” the military added.
The advancing Israeli ground troops discovered heavy weaponry left behind by Hezbollah terrorists in residential areas. The military disclosed that “over the past 24 hours, the troops discovered rocket launcher munitions, anti-tank missiles, and rockets – inside a residential home.”

The discovery shows how deeply Hezbollah embedded itself in Lebanese civilian areas along the Israeli border. “The troops also located and confiscated dozens of weapons left behind in buildings and civilian homes in southern Lebanon,” the military disclosed. “The weapons located include rocket launchers aimed at Israeli territory, anti-tank missiles, firearms, observation posts, and an explosive device buried by the enemy in the area.”

He has no idea what he’s being asked
He has no idea what a missile is
He has no idea who is even president
That last one is easy! Mrs. Emhoff!
He told Iran not to attack Israel and they ignored him. I’m betting Israel ignores Dementia Joe too.
Oh, I’m sure he sorta, kinda understands what he is being asked to some extent, the problem is his mental abilities are no longer sufficient for him to compose a coherent reply.
Question: Will you support an Israeli strike on sites related to Tehran’s nuclear program in response to Iran’s missile attack on Israel.
Answer: The answer is no, uhh, and I think there’s thing . . . . . . we’ll be discussing with the Israelis what they’re gonna do. . . but . . . but then all seven of us agree they have a right to respond but they should respond proportionately.
That is not the response of man fully in charge of his mental state. He just strings whatever statements comes to mind together and hopes they sound coherent. Which to him they probably do but unfortunately to the rest of us is just an incoherent muddle.
Ok, we know what Brandon thinks. Now somebody ask the president.
These Dhimmi-crat pukes are unbelievable.
Biden and his chaperones/handlers seek to dictate how an allied nation responds to a malignant, genocidal and belligerent Islamofascist regime’s repeated attacks upon its people and territory, directly and through proxy terrorist groups?
Iran has been a cancer upon the world, since the 1979 Islamic revolution, and, the U.S. and its allies should have dealt with that regime decisively and viciously, decades ago.
Lastly, how do the wretched Dhimmi-crats square their “rah-rah-rah” jingoism and cheerleading of Ukraine’s war efforts against Russia, with their non-stop and contemptible vilification of Israel and the IDF, and, calls for “restraint” and “proportionality?” Such an outrageous, morally despicable and indefensible double standard.
It seems that Dhimmi-crats’ calls for “restraint” and “proportionality” only apply to non-Muslims fully justified reprisals in response to incessant and implacable genocidal Muslim barbarism, belligerence and Islamofascism.
Bottom line – The democrat party does not want Israel to attack an ally of the democrat party
But, he didn’t say “Don’t”, so that sounds like a green light to me!
Wouldn’t matter, nobody listens when he say don’t anyhow.
Proportional would be hundreds of missiles and thousands of unguided rockets launched into Iran.
Biden would shriek like a scalded cat if Israel actually launched a “proportional” response.
A great video covering one of our proportional responses to Iran back when Reagan was President. https://youtu.be/d5v6hlRyeHE?si=2iapbtp_zNjT1BDd
Time to take out the nukes
There will
Never be a better time….
and Israel knows , on day one Iran can, they will nuke Israel
You want the entire world to be destroyed?
It is time to stop funding Israel’s massive death and destruction on the USA’s dime.
Put down the crack pipe — narcotics are wreaking havoc upon your brain function.
The cause of “death and destruction” in the middle east is fairly placed at the feet of the malignant and evil genocidal Islamofascism, Muslim supremacism and terrorism that is practiced and propagated by the Iranian regime, its proxies and the Arab Fakestinian invaders from Arabia — all of whom have made it abundantly clear, over decades of relentless terrorism and barbarism that they will not countenance peaceful co-existence with Israeli Jews who represent the indigenous people of the area, whose forebears resided in a nation called “Israel” millennia before the wretched, supremacist, totalitarian, belligerent, hate-filled and pathology-laden ideology of “Submission” was founded; millennia before such a thing as a “Muslim” ever existed.
Leftism is a mental health disorder.
What do you think the mohammedans plan to do with nukes, eh? Destroy Israel (clearly okay with you) and leave the Great Satan alone?
I realize that people who continue to live in Illinois are mentally handicapped, but defending islamists who invoke only hatred and death is amazingly stupid.
Interesting how you want to blame the victim. The Israelis are not the ones who have been launching rockets from the West Bank and Gaza for the last 20 years in spite of the Israelis allowing them to self-govern. They have not launched missiles at Iran. Things happened the other way around, they have been attacked regularly. They have also shown a level of restraint that I don’t think I’d be capable of if someone took those kinds of shots at my family. They would be well within their rights to retaliate and make Iran into one large field of black, radioactive glass.
Doofus.
LOL. Smokin’ hot take, bonehead.
Israel, for better or worse, is doing all the things that we should have done years ago, but didn’t.
If they take out Iran’s nukes, we should send them a couple of the pallets of Iran cash Biden has stashed away somewhere.
And they will hit the “Great Satan” [us] as soon as they can too.
Subotai Bahadur
Iran might already have nuclear weapons. It’s primarily a materials problem, and Iran has been running centrifuges to manufacture enriched U-235. Once Iran gets enough fissile material, either uranium from centrifuges or plutonium from reactors, they can proceed with design and test. Can Iran conduct tests that we can’t detect? A very sensitive subject, and I won’t comment further. It only takes one missile with one warhead to destroy Israel. In my opinion, Israel must destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities NOW. Might not be easy depending on how deeply the facilities are buried. My advice to Israel, ignore Washington. Do what you have to do to survive, and don’t worry about world opinion, or civilian casualties.
They will need support from Iran’s enemies (which is pretty much everyone) to get the job done.
God willing Israel succeeds! The down side of them not is pretty damn big!
(1) I’m guessing that Iran will construct a nuclear weapon based upon U-235 as while production of plutonium is not that hard (just run a modern nuclear power plant and you get the stuff in abundance) the extraction of the Pu-239 from the remaining uranium and fission products is a horrendously difficult process. So I suspect they’ll go with the easy way and produce a U-235 based weapon first and then move on to PU-239 at a later date.
(2) Iran cannot conduct nuclear weapons tests without the rest of the world knowing as an underground nuclear explosion of any appreciable size would cause the Earth to ring like a bell and the characteristic vibration wave pattern can be detected by any sufficiently sensitive seismograph. And if Iranian nuclear scientists were stupid enough to detonate a nuclear weapon above ground in the atmosphere any spy satellite with a decent camera pointing in the right direction is going to catch the “nuclear flash” of the weapon going off and it would be game over for Iran at that point.
(3) Iran doesn’t even need a functioning nuclear weapon to destroy Israel. They stockpile enough radioactive material to build several “dirty bombs” that they could use to contaminate much of Israel. And if Iran get’s desperate enough then there’s nothing stopping them from doing it. Nothing at all.
“the extraction of the Pu-239 from the remaining uranium and fission products is a horrendously difficult process.” Not really…. as plutonium has different chemical properties than uranium. Radiation overexposure just means 72 virgins sooner. The heavy lifting is enriching U-235. When the media says that Iran had only enriched to … say… 40%… all of the heavy lifting is over.
Yes, a U-235 bomb is likely , if needed, as everyone knows how to build one as it works every time. No testing needed. It’s just so wasteful as only a small percentage fissions as at Hiroshima and most of it blown to the winds. But that is all that is needed.
An implosion device needs correct lensing of the conventional explosives and the high speed switches to trigger the denotation. Ex- or loaned nuke specialists should be available on the black market.
Dear God
Robert Wilkie to Newsmax: Biden Also Said Don’t Take Out Bin Laden
https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/robert-wilkie-joe-biden-iran/2024/10/04/id/1182848/
At least he remembered OBL was dead…. I can understand Biden, pouring gas on a fire will end the fire sooner. Oh, and I want to see Jimmy Carter cast his vote…. without any help from his entourage. Jimmy made his reputation by challenging voter fraud against him …. and later his dictator friends …but not Trump. He should rejoice that he is no longer the worst (p)resident in US history… by a wide margin now.
He DIDNT remember OBL was dead
That’s NOT what the article says.
“A team of Navy SEALS killed bin Laden on May 2, 2011, after debate among then-President Barack Obama’s top advisers about the attack, with Biden calling for more information and holding out against the death strike”
In other words he opposed taking out bin Laden until there was sufficient information*. What year do you think Quid Pro Joe would have decided there was enough information? By now?
* The mission was successful, so there apparently was sufficient information.
He once told Chelea Clinton, “There are only three things in this world that give me more pleasure than laundering money: Osama, Obama and yo Mama.”
There are a lot of criminally under-reported stories in America right now. But, near the top of the list is the extent to which Iran has been exerting influence and SPYING at the highest levels of the Biden Administration. There is no rational explanation for a US president telling an ally reeling from DAILY missile attacks from Iran and their proxies to leave Iran’s nuclear weapon’s program alone other than that president is compromised.
This is particularly true when his own Administration admits to briefings in Congress that Iran has several hit teams in the US looking to kill key Americans, including the current GOP candidate for president.
This administration is loaded with Muslims .. loaded
And those that are t Muslim, are Muslim sympathizers
“There is no rational explanation for a US president telling an ally”
And yet, I could have written this headline any day this month right after rolling out of bed without checking any news sources whatsoever. Biden is as predictable as Joe Btfsplk. When he heard Helene was coming, he ordered emergency shipments of sunscreen to the southeast.
To the extent that this demented fool is even the legitimate president (he cheated to get in and should most definitely have been 25th’d out) I don’t give a shit what he has to say about anything. He’s perpetually wrong on every point of foreign policy anyway.
Israel has a moral duty to destroy the Iranian ability to wage war – period. Not only should the destroy any/all nuclear related facilities and weapons, they should reduce their ability to produce petroleum to zero.
Forty years of Islamic jihad on the part of the Mad Mullahs is forty years too many.
And while I’m ranting, to hell with Jimmy Carter for starting this nonsense, too.
Valshariah Jarrett, the infamous Iranian fifth columnist who is the actual spokesleaze and Iranian operative in the cabal pulling the Biden marionette strings, probably forced the rest of them to not support an Israeli strike against the nuclear facilities. I don’t think it will sway Bibi Netanyahu and the IDF one jot. They have come this far, and are more than willing to take out the Khamaneis and the nukes at their own whim.
The alphabets were already whining that the IDF “defied the American president”, as though they needed Biden’s permission to defend their own sovereign country. Seems obvious the Israelis are done listening to a brain-addled, drooling old Joementia and his useless Kneepads Veep.
I don’t think she had to twist many (any?) arms to get the bunch around the top of this administration to toss Israel (and particularly Bibi) under the well known bus. They probably wee hoping that Netanyahu wouldn’t survive the missile attack.
uncovers heavy weaponry in south Lebanon homes
By “uncovers” they mean “observed secondaries,” right?
I assume they’re talking about the photographs in the article.
The more the merrier. I wonder if with the mullah’s crawling deep underground, will more Iranians be more willing to rat out the current top dogs?
Iran must be subdued.
Bibi not only has to fight the leftist anti-Semitic morons in America but the same proggie idiots in his own country.
The momentum from 10/6 is in place to wipe out the mohammedan scum who threaten Israel’s existence; one hopes the IDF goes the distance this time.
I suppose one isn’t allowed to hope the same fate awaits Left in both countries, who are only somewhat less dangerous than islamist terrorists.
He’d say the same thing even if he had all his faculties. Gotta keep that streak of being wrong about everything going, doncha know!
I think Bibi also has to keep in mind what level of military action most helps get Trump elected. That has to be a strategic goal of theirs. IMO he needs to bloody Iran’s nose directly to make a point. Perhaps going after the nuclear facilities should wait until after the election?
Biden doesn’t support an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites by Israel.
Translation: Biden doesn’t support Israel.
The people for whom he is a puppet don’t support Israel.
I don’t recollect any report that Bibi did a “Mother may I?” about what Israel could do to respond to the Iranian attack. Quid Pro Joe is wrapped up in self-delusion as to his “power”. Well, he’s likely just spouting what he’s being told to say, so there’s that.
Israel is under attack so “don’t” from Biden and Harris was ignored by Iran. I would expect “no” to be ignored by Israel. Biden is brain dead and Harris is just stupid.
Letting Barky’s minions run the show
IDF cares less abut what Biden thinks than 99% of the participants on this blog.
Piss on Biden, let Israel take out all of islamic nuclear anything in that kingdom of evil.
Give notice to Iran and Iranians that wherever the ayatollah is will be incinerated and reduced to glazed sand for centuries thereafter. Don’t be there.
OTOH, the IDF does not need any advice from anyone, they are the pros from Dover, the Can-Do Git’r’Dun force that is second to no one. Well, they might wonder what Jimmy Carter thinks about the situation just to get a sense of amusement as Joe Biden replaces him in stature.
Breaking this morning: Israel Channel 12 is reporting Quds Force Commander, Esmail Qaani – the man who replaced Qasem Soleimani after Trump killed him – was himself killed in the same bunker-buster attack that killed Nasrallah. This is almost a big a deal as Nasrallah himself.
Stumbling mumbling biden, international symbol of weakness. Islamofascists are smiling.
