Reuters: Iran to give no quarter in stand-off with U.S.: supreme leader
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran’s supreme leader upped the ante in a volatile stand-off with the United States on Tuesday, warning Tehran would continue removing restraints on its nuclear program and retaliate for the seizure of an Iranian oil tanker.
Tensions have spiked since U.S. President Donald Trump last year abandoned world powers’ 2015 nuclear deal with Iran under which it agreed to curtail its enrichment of uranium in return for the lifting of global sanctions crippling its economy.
European parties to the pact decided on Monday not to trigger the deal’s dispute mechanism in favor of pursuing more talks and avert any U.S.-Iranian military conflict, but took no action to shield Iran against a sanctions clampdown by Trump.

Ehud Barak will never replace Netanyahu.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7253615/Trump-rape-accuser-gave-dress-claims-wearing-Trump rape accuser E. Jean Carroll gave the Donna Karan dress she claims she was wearing during the 'attack' to the NYT for DNA analysis - reminiscent of Monica Lewinsky's notorious Gap dress - but it's decided not to test the garment
Why not?
A) This is as far as she can go with her lie. There is no semen.
B) The DNA would be too deteriorated. (I doubt this one.)
C) Bill Clinton's DNA would be found and his DNA is on file
Clinton? why not Jefferson if we are to move into the past?
link not working..."it's decided" suggests an alien from elsewhere
lots of nonsense here
Why CKinton?
Because Clinton Inc made their last bid for power less than 3 years ago in 2016.
That is not that long ago.
The Clintons are still a danger. They have hundreds of millions and can buy Chelsea a senate seat anywhere in the US. It worked before. Carpetbagger Hillary got her senate seat.
then indict Clinton if you have evidence etc
meanwhile, ignore Trump?
why is it that Barr, no friend to Democrats etc., has done and said nothing about Clinton? perhaps you should write or call him
Barr is not investigating Bill
He is investigating the Hillary campaign and their illegal shenanigans.
The longer Epstein is investigated, the more Bill Clinton is at risk.
I mentioned Bill in conjunction with E. Jean Carroll, because it is funny. I don't think the two have met, but of they did, the deed would have been done.
Carroll is a low rent hussy, She is a Democrat's Democrat.
What I have a hard time believing is that Elle magazine paid her for her writing. Democrats love dross?
