US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has repeated calls for de-escalation in the Middle East, after an apparent Israeli strike on Iran.
Speaking from a G7 meeting in Italy, Blinken says Washington was “not involved” in any offensive operation.
Iranian state media has cited unconfirmed reports of explosions in the central province of Isfahan, but downplayed reports of an attack.
Iran has been on high alert in the wake of Israel pledging to respond to Iran's unprecedented missile and drone attack on Israel on Saturday night

Calling for calm .. After encouraging this .. Now .. Deniability..
There a few rich people causing all this chaos , sick.
....many are supposed to be public servants..... Who have lost the way
No. It's Iran causing this conflict. Pay attention
Your so called rich people are those US armaments manufacturers who made billions and laughing all the way to the bank. And these are the people who happen to be the biggest money donators to both the GOP and the Democratic Party.
Rich people didn’t behead a bunch of babies
Fr every time a missle launches that's like another easy $ 100k to whoever designed/manufactures them
Now its a missile??? This morning they said it was drones from amazon 😂😂😂
Ir an denied that fake claim. Zion ist backed media created that false news. there was no missile sent from isr ael
Bbc 😂
perseids
😂no more jokes I'm trying to sleep 🛌
😂😂😂 drama
Imagine attacking someone Embassy then playing victim card 🇮🇱?
The US response to the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus was to veto the UN draft resolution condemning it…The US has always acted as Israel’s human shield at the UN Security Council.
Because of 9/11 for one thing, there's no love lost between the USA and Islamists. I thought that would be obvious.
Mind Begs the Question: - Pledging unconditional support - To a State whose policies are - Starvation,Death Camps,Pogroms,Gas Chambers/White Phosphorus,Ethnic Cleansing,etc - Democratic or Nazi?

Why aren't we calling for sanctions, why aren't we condemin these attacks, ohhh that's right, we are hypocrites. Smh.

Answer to your question: Israel showed Iran, USA leadership and others Israel superior leadership strength vs Biden’s & Obama’s massively FAILED “Payola Appeasement Diplomacy” which, “intentionally financially empowers Iran on all levels” to obtain Iran’s goals since 1979 of “destroying Israel and the USA”. Not only did Israel proved to Iran their will to directly respond to Iran’s direct attack, but also proved Israel’s weapons can directly strike deep within Iran’s borders with deadly pin point accuracy while evading Iran’s air defenses. The psychological damage done to Iran while putting dysfunctional Biden and others “in their place” are all major wins for Israel while avoiding a major escalation, at least for now.
Because Iran is already heavily sanctioned.
Because they can buy more weapons from us. Be smart
@@icare7151 ^ completely missing that Israel attacked Iran first unprovoked. That's a violation of international law -- I feel like a broken record saying this. Imagine having to explain to people what constitutes a war crime and what violates international law. Also imagine cheering on a genocidal, colonial settler state that is conducting an ethnic cleansing of a population it has oppressed and slaughtered for decades. I'd be more worried about the psychological damage on Israel knowing that the entire world is voting against you with the only thing that prevents any of these resolutions from going through being the U.S. blindly vetoing everything with no justification. And also the psychological damage on the U.S. as it drags its reputation through the mud. The stupidity in the claim that Israel is avoiding a major escalation is unfathomable. Their goal is to escalate. If they didn't want to escalate, why would you strike an Iranian consulate, killing high level officials unprovoked? I don't know about you, but attacking a country out of nowhere and killing their military leaders is a perfect way to escalate and declare war, not the other way around... Genocide-supporter logic, man.
Israel is never to blame for anything according to the US
Iran did start it. You can't attack someone and expect to get away with it. Iran has gotten away with too much for too long and now think they are untouchable. They found out the hard way they aren't and they'll think twice before they attack someone else.
How can somebody lie in the public knowing that you're lying
It’s called “politics “. Thats what all politicians do is lie. Sadly, the people who were dumb enough to vote for this administration believe the lies.
That is called politics.
Antony blinken work for Natanyahu. What answers do you expect.
Day by day people believe less and less in empty words, actually those polite but empty words hurts US leadership worlwide
This man nothing else to do . Do you think Iran will calm? That’s your day dream .
I think u might be surprised. As they're playing it that's there's no damage so no harm done. I hope they hold back, there may be a slim chance? I don't think they want an all out confrontation, they would never win. I'm going with they won't. They're going 2 carry on with the proxy war.
Blinken has the backbone and convincing power of a handpuppet.
You are 100% correct. No Stinking Stupid Blinken!!
Agree 100%
He loves to go on his knees and suck dick on far right Israeli
What is he supposed to do?
@@matthewmiller6568 Resign and higher Trump administration Mike Pompeo for Secretary of State and elect President Trump to fix all the disasters of the corrupt dysfunctional Biden and his corrupt dysfunctional administration.
Blinken blinking, not seeing the truth😜
Blinken has aged 30 years in the last month 😂
So what would people say if Iran landed a drone in Israel then made a statement calling for calm? seems hypocritical
"it would be unprecedented" - western news lmao
is he going to condemn the Israeli attack like he did with Iran??? dont hold your breath
He looks very tired (exhausted mentally) and very nervous bordering on fatigue. Too many "uh" in his sentences. He realizes the error of their ways, that's what I'm seeing.
You definitely are no psychologist. Keep your day job serving kebabs
@michellesinclair4652 He is realizing that the arrogance and ignorance he displayed early in the Biden's administration - demonizing China, Russia, Iran, and who knows how many other countries - is coming back in vengeance to bite him hard.

He only reads the scripts
@@NerdKingCool Absolutely. What else. Poor living beings in a so called rich country
Who bomb the Iranian Embassy in Syrië?
Israel removed Generals from Iran in Syria coordinating the attack coming this summer on the border with Lebanon.
Iran is to blame? So they destroyed their own embassy in Damascus? This is getting bizarre and Orwellian!
Well, if Irani generals not support terrorist groups against Israel then Israel not destroy those embassy (not even the embassy but a building next to it) on the first place.
Dumb comment
when a phone is smarter than owner
The "embassy" was used as a terrorist HQ, by all and any international law it then becomes a viable target to take out. Do some basic resarch before you make yourself look like an idiot on KZhead...
They're both to blame. We're to blame. Everyone's to blame.
Iran has the right to defend itself.
Iran started it.
This man must be tired now.
Iran safe no damage
Israel can do what they want, Mr. Winkin-Blinken-&Nod!
Its like they actively want a nuclear war to start
I personally looking forward!
They do clearly antil they start crying.
yes because israel believes destroying the world will bring about their 'messiah'
Has everyone forgotten that Israel attacked Iran first????
“Apparent strike..” 🤔 Iran says nothing happened.
He always looks exhausted, poor man. Stressful for any human.
Poor man?! He’s actively complicit in an ongoing genocide. He’s a soulless demon just like they all are.
Loll now them want peace what an hypocrisy 🤮
US policy is ridiculous.
Iran is to blame? Did Iran commit a war crime or break international law by bombing a consulate which Israel did??
Israel removed Generals from Iran in Lebanon coordinating the attack coming this summer on the border with Lebanon.
Israel committed war crime by attacking consulate.
@@nuqwestr make up all the lie you want..it was a war crime and breaking international law...are you dumb?

Blinken blinked like Israel
Yeah you support Islamist terrorists who behead babies.
Blinked out like hamas wannabe gang kids to lol
Would you arm a criminal and then ask for a de-escalation?? Absurd!
Blinken's having a helluva time defending the indefensible.
But the thing is the size and the nature of Israeli attack on Iran may not even qualify for Iran military retaliation according to experts...
We need to pray for peace in the world.
too late for pray! Just give the land back to Arabs and have two states.
Just puppets being puppets.
what does it mean if they support billions of dollars and saying we are not supporting Rafah crisis?
Why until now China and Russia are silent? They should support Iran.
Jow?
How?😊
China doesn't want to lose or earn sanctions and Russia is running on fumes. Neither country would fair too well in a fight with Israel and their allies and they know it. To be honest neither country even likes Iran enough to come to their aid anyway.

The USA should calm down and get its paws out of the region.
One missle hit the whole of Iran must of been a pretty big missle
It hit Isfahan. Dumb comment
We need peace in this world. We are praying for peace for everyone today. Stop fighting it's enough.
No calm Full on Tensions thank you

Key words ' apparent Israeli strike' go figure that one out 😅😂
It's not hard if you use your brain. Israel has not officially claimed responsibility. Therefore "apparent.". You obviously don't understand how foreign diplomacy works

Good show. Excellent interviewing by the host. Thank you for making this show.
Nope ignored! These people better get down or lay down!
This lies and hypocrisy will always be under hell in the judgment day, we know the truth no need to tell us stupid people 😢
In light of the recent and reprehensible attack by Israel on Syrian soil, which tragically resulted in the deaths of seven innocent Iranian consulate diplomats, a serious reflection on international norms and justice is imperative. This blatant disregard for international law and the sanctity of human life cannot be overlooked while Iran is criticized for undertaking measures to defend its citizens. The global narrative often paints Iran’s actions as disproportionate or aggressive. However, one must question the fairness of such portrayals. Is it reasonable to expect Iran to remain passive in the face of such aggression against its people? It is unreasonable and unjust to demand that Iran seek approval from nations like the US, UK, or Israel before taking steps to safeguard its sovereignty and the lives of its nationals. The disparity in how defensive actions are perceived internationally cannot be ignored. While Israel’s aggressive conducts are often met with silence or tacit approval, Iran’s defensive responses are quickly labeled as acts of warmongering. This glaring hypocrisy must be challenged. The lives of all citizens, including those of Iran and Israel, protection and respect; no state should be allowed to compromise human lives without facing international repercussion. It is imperative that the international community reevaluates its stance and ensures uniform accountability. Every nation, including Iran, has the inherent right to defend itself and to seek redressal when its people are harmed unjustly. The time has come for the global community to stand firm against any form of injustice and ensure that all nations are held to the same standards. This is about fundamental human rights and maintaining global peace and security. The call for justice and equality must reign supreme to prevent such tragedies in the future.
Innocents?!😂😂😂
@@dulcemoutinho5820 First of all, I thank you for taking the time to read my text and but in answer to this question, I will answer with an example, when the two countries are at war with each other, both sides will call the other side guilty, but the reason why I have called them innocent is that there is no rational civil, military, or even political reason that Israel was Wanting to bomb a seven-story office building in another country, do you think there were only seven people in the daylight at a place called a consulate? Russia and Ukraine are at war, have you ever seen political people kill each other? Have you ever wondered why so many people in the world oppose bullying, acts and actions? Are they Israelis? Why are so many people fighting against one country? Do you really think it is about religion and religion? In the end, I will say that your opinion is respectable to me. Peace and Tranquility for All
This would never have happened if Kayne was president
Its s fake attack for the camera.

The US calls for calm...oh please who do they think they are kidding?
To say Iran is at fault shows the competency in the us government.
Iranians want the cancerous Islamic Republic out to be replaced with a new enlightened Iran!

Children of distruction!
Yeah .. he thinks the rest of the world is stupid ...
US creates wars and then asks for calm 😂😂😂
Iran threw the first punch and has been getting cocky for a while.
The role of the United States in Israel is questionable, the whole world is now in an unstable situation, the general public of the world will have to pay for the geopolitical interests of Western leaders.
Wherever there’s a conflict in the world, you can guarantee the Americans and the British governments will be involved in some shape or form. The American and the British governments are lower than a snakes belly and should never, ever be trusted. Their hypocrisy, arrogance and ignorance is astonishing! I’m British and I’m thoroughly ashamed of my government. If it were up to ordinary Brits, we would never get involved in any of these conflicts.
Check out the Sudan, much bigger, but just not your focus.
The next question to ask is does Iran have the right to defend itself when attacked?
Under international law, yes. But Israel is excempt from human rights law
IRAN has the right to defend itself and retaliate.
One can’t even trust our best friends, let alone our worst enemies!!
do you have any friend left?
The Kaiser Bill has been too quiet for too long! What can he be planning!

Imagine Russia providing Iran with missiles to hit Israel. Iran notifies Russia it's going to hit Israel and getting the green light from Russia and then after Iran hit Israel, Russia calls for de-escalation but not before blaming Israel this was all it's fault and it is to blame
Why the hell did Israel fire at iran- because it’s feelings were hurt. Ffs Who is escalating this.

Iran is being treated as a lesser country. They have a right to defend themselves even if I don't agree with their politics.

Iran might fired 300 drones and missiles but nobody died in Israel. Iran knew no one would die due to Israels air defense. But 7 died at the iranian consulate in Syria. A anticipated attack vs. an unanticipated attack. Thats the difference

Meet Mr Blinken, the most loyal and effective Secretary of State - of Israel.
This is clear provocation from Israel, which is even more evident by calling the attack as, "Scarecrow", which is extremely demeaning.War is not about sarcastic words, but about people's lives. The best way to deal with it is to put this forward to those countries that support Israel, like America, and ask them, "How should we react?" Talks can solve any issue!
