Israel is waiting for a go-ahead from the US to resume the campaign against Iran and bomb the Islamic Republic back to “the Stone Age”, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated on Thursday.
The message came after US President Donald Trump extended the ceasefire with Tehran indefinitely on Tuesday to allow time for a potential deal, while keeping American naval blockade of Iranian ports in place.
The “Stone Age” rhetoric was first used by Trump on April 01, roughly five weeks into the fighting. At the time, he warned that US forces would “hit [Iran] extremely hard” and could “bring them back to the Stone Ages” within “two to three weeks” if Tehran refused US demands, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz and agreeing to a deal imposing stricter limits on its nuclear activities.
Tehran predictably rejected the demands, refusing to stop nuclear enrichment, which it says it needs for civilian purposes, including energy production and medical applications.
Please, let the fighting resume. I would love to see the US of A and Israel wasted!
Oh, how I wish!
Liverpool strengthened their grip on next season's Champions League spot with a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace yesterday.
Alexander Isak smartly controlled Alexis Mac Allister’s wayward effort on goal and swivelled on the ball to volley it into the net in the 35th minute. That was swiftly followed by another from Andy Robertson, finishing well into the bottom corner after a lightning break five minutes later.
The Eagles pulled one back in the 72nd minute but Florian Wirtz sealed the victory deep into stoppage time (90+6') with a composed finish inside the box.
Victory moved the Reds up to fourth place in the Premier League table with four games left to play.
In the meantime, in Glasgow, Celtic defeated Falkirk 3-1 to go level on points with Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts.
Daizen Maeda opened the scoring in the 30th minute after pressing his rivals' defence. And just before half-time, utilizing his high-tempo pressing, he dispossessed a Falkirk player and played the ball through to Kieran Tierney to rocket a powerful strike into the top corner.
The Bairns hauled themselves back into contention when they shot home in the 70th minute. But Maeda's second, Celtic's third, was instinctive striker play as he dropped off his marker to swing around in the box and convert a driven Sebastian Tounekti cross in the 83rd minute to settle the outcome.
