Reports: Explosions heard near Syrian capital, hours after Trump rips up Iran agreement

Israeli news outlet Haaretz reported on Tuesday that explosions were heard south of the Syrian capital of Damascus as tensions appear to be heating in the Middle East. 

Syrian state TV reported that Syria downed two Israeli missiles over Syria late Tuesday. This news comes as the US State Department warned of possible attacks on the Israeli settlement of Golan Heights. The US State Department issued a travel alert on Tuesday as President Donald Trump announced the US no longer is part of the Iran nuclear agreement. 

Haaretz reported that the Israeli army said it believes Iran is planning to carry out an imminent strike from Syria.

While the United States’ European allies fiercely opposed the US walking away from the Iran deal, Israel applauded Trump’s decision.

Syria Tensions: Explosions Reported Near Damascus

Some reports in Syria say Israeli jets enter country’s airspace ■ Israel braces for imminent Iranian attack

 

UPDATE: Syria says Israel struck near Damascus as IDF opens shelters bracing for Iranian attack

Explosions were reported south of Damascus on Tuesday, shortly after the Israeli army announced it believes Iran is planning to carry out an imminent strike from Syria. Reports in Syria said Israeli jets entered the country’s airspace,

The reports come on the heels of U.S. President Donald Trump’s dramatic withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. Ahead of the announcement, Israel had ordered to open the bomb shelters to open in communities along the northern border.

Officials believe Iran is determined to retaliate for the April 9 airstrike on Syria’s T4 airbase, which killed seven Iranian military advisers and members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Iran blames Israel for this attack.

Syrian state media says Israel attacked just after U.S. quit Iran deal

JERUSALEM/BEIRUT (Reuters) – Syrian state media accused Israel of launching missiles at a target near Damascus on Tuesday, shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump announced he was quitting the Iranian nuclear deal, a move that had prompted Israel to go on high alert.

The Israeli military said that, upon identifying “irregular activity” by Iranian forces in Syria, it instructed civic authorities on the Golan Heights to ready bomb shelters, deployed new defenses and mobilized some reservist forces.

Israel’s top general, Gadi Eizenkott, canceled a scheduled appearance at an annual security conference and was conferring with Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman and other national security chiefs, officials said.

Trump’s hard tack against the nuclear deal, while welcomed by Israel, has stirred fears of a possible regional flare-up.

Within two hours of the White House announcement, Syrian state news agency SANA reported explosions in Kisweh, south of Damascus. Syrian air defenses fired at two Israeli missiles, destroying both, SANA said.

A commander in the regional alliance supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told Reuters that Israel’s air force had struck an army base at Kisweh without causing casualties.

Asked about those statements, an Israeli military spokeswoman said: “We do not respond to such foreign reports.”

Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah have been helping Assad beat back a seven-year-old rebellion. Israel has carried out repeated air strikes against them, hoping to stop the formation of a Lebanese-Syrian front to its north.

An April 9 strike killed seven Iranian military personnel at a Syrian airbase. Iran blamed Israel and vowed to retaliate.

Israeli media said Tuesday’s order to prepare bomb shelters on the Golan was unprecedented during Syria’s civil war. Israel captured the Golan from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed it in a moved no recognized internationally.

Israel has posted Iron Dome short-range air defenses on the Golan, local media said, suggesting that the anticipated attack could be by ground-to-ground rockets or mortars.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a televised address lauding Trump’s Iran policy and alluding to the tensions over Syria.

“For months now, Iran has been transferring lethal weaponry to its forces in Syria, with the purpose of striking at Israel,” Netanyahu said. “We will respond mightily to any attack on our territory.”

On Twitter, Lieberman said he had spoken to his U.S. counterpart James Mattis and “updated him on regional developments”.

Explained 

Trump Pulls Out of the Iran Nuclear Deal, What Happens Next?

U.S. president Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal vowing new and ‘powerful’ sanctions on Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal on Tuesday vowing to restore U.S. economic sanctions on Tehran, a move Iran vows will effectively kill the Obama-era Iran nuclear accord.

In late April, in an effort to save the deal, French President Emmanuel Macron offered Trump a “new deal” in which the United States and Europe would tackle the outstanding concerns about Iran beyond its nuclear program.

Macron used a three-day state visit to the United States as a high-stakes bid to salvage the Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which many in the West see as the best hope of preventing Iran from getting a nuclear bomb and heading off a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.

Under Macron’s proposal, the United States and Europe would agree to block any Iranian nuclear activity until 2025 and beyond, address Iran’s ballistic missile program and generate conditions for a political solution to contain Iran in Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long called specifically for cancelling a core “sunset clause” that removes caps on Iran’s nuclear projects after a number of years.

Iranian President Hassan Rohani however appeared to immediately throw cold water on Macron’s efforts.

“I have spoken with Macron several times by phone, and one time in person at length. I have told him explicitly that we will not add anything to the deal or remove anything from it, even one sentence. The nuclear deal is the nuclear deal,” he said during a conference in the northwestern city of Tabriz the day after Macron announced his “new deal.” He suggested Macron has no right to amend an agreement signed by seven nations.

“As long as our interests are guaranteed we will remain in the deal, whether the U.S. remains or not,” Rohani said. But he added that “if our benefits are not guaranteed, we will not remain in the deal, no matter what the circumstances are.”

It was unclear what that would mean for the fate of the 2015 accord and whether the other countries that signed it, such as China and Russia, would agree to new measures against Iran. However, Macron later dampened expectations saying he still expected Trump to pull out of the deal based on Trump’s past statements.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is expected to also make a case for the accord during a lower-key visit to the White House. A German foreign ministry spokesman took a hard line ahead of the visit saying, “The nuclear agreement was negotiated with 7 countries and the EU and can’t be renegotiated… but it is also clear that beyond the nuclear agreement we want to make sure that Iran’s nuclear programme serves exclusively peaceful purposes.”

Iran’s ‘three options’

In a news conference broadcast on state television in late April, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, said the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran was ready for some “surprising actions” if the nuclear deal was scrapped.

Answering a question about the possibility of Tehran withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Shamkhani said: “This is one of three options that we are considering.” What exactly the other two options are was left unclear, but Rohani has said Iran will ramp up its nuclear programme if the deal collapses.

Rohani also warned Trump to stay in the nuclear deal.

“I am telling those in the White House that if they do not live up to their commitments…the Iranian government will firmly react,” Rohani said in a speech .

“If anyone betrays the deal, they should know that they would face severe consequences,” he told a cheering crowd of thousands gathered in the city of Tabriz. “Iran is prepared for all possible situations,” he added.

Earlier in April, Rohani said Iran would make or buy any weapons it needed to defend itself in a region beset by “invading powers,” as the military paraded missiles and soldiers in front of him on National Army Day.

Fighter jets and bombers flew overhead as Rohani told the Tehran crowd and a live TV audience that Iran’s forces posed no threat to its neighbors.

“We tell the world that we will produce or acquire any weapons we need, and will not wait for their approval … We tell our neighbouring countries that our weapons are not against you, it’s for deterrence,” Rohani said.

What the U.S. gains by pulling out

Michael Makovsky, president and CEO of the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA) and a former Pentagon official, laid out the argument for Reuters for why Trump should withdrawal from the treaty: If Trump doesn’t withdraw based on a European faux-fix, it would severely weaken the United States’ standing with Iran and globally.

Washington’s withdrawal from the JCPOA offers other clear benefits. It would reinstate nuclear-related economic sanctions that could — if other countries to fall in line — pressure and isolate Tehran, and weaken its regional aggression.

Longer term, withdrawal offers more freedom to the United States, Israel or others to act militarily against Iranian nuclear facilities, if that becomes necessary.

The difficulty of Trump restoring sanctions on Iran

There are at least two avenues potentially offering more time for talks after May 12, difficult as that may seem given that Iran has strongly warned against reviving sanctions.

The agreement has a dispute resolution clause that provides at least 35 days to consider a claim that any party has violated its terms. That can be extended if all parties agree.

And if Trump restores the core U.S. sanctions, under U.S. law he must wait at least 180 days before imposing their most draconian consequence: targeting banks of nations that fail to cut significantly their purchases of Iranian oil.

      Vatican controls everything, why would America and Israel or the Vatican want to destroy secular Arab states and make them Islamic hell holes ? Obama and HRC tried to bring the Muslim Brotherhood into Egypt and that failed, then took out Libya, another secular state………………or was it the fact that these nations want to leave the petro dollar, which the rothschild and Vatican want to keep as the world currency.

      Yeah, it’s prophecy and Iran is attacking Israel. Or, maybe for the 10,000 time it is Israel attacking Syria.

      The Iran scam was never a “treaty”. It never went though proper channels or congressional oversight nor would it have ever passed the scrutiny to ever have become a treaty. This was an Obama executive order, and over-reach non-binding agreement made by one man, Obama. Since no one in congress fixed the flawed onesided deal, all it took was one man, Trump, to terminate it. That is the weakness of not having a treaty. It was a bad deal for the USA, period. If it were a good deal, Obama would have put it through the rigorous channels of making it a treaty. It was likely an illegal move of Obama to have even made that deal. Any executive order can be nullified by an incoming president.

      Am I allowed to shoot my neighbor because I think he is planning to attack me?
      How about if everyone knows my neighbor never attacked anybody since 1736?
      Suppose he’s not even my neighbor, but he said he doesn’t like me.
      Does that make it OK?
