IRAN WILL DECIDED IF THERE IS WAR The United States Suggest Regional Conflict Is up To Iran

The Pressing Question: Can We Expect To See A Regional War In The Middle East?

After visiting Israel for the last two days, General Charles Q. Brown Jr., the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he thinks the chances of a regional war have gone down after the recent fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. However, he noted that it still depends on how Iran responds. He mentioned, "We were aware of two things that were likely to happen. One has already occurred, and now we need to see how the other will unfold."

The interesting part about the Hezbollah strike is how involved the U.S. seems to have been in gathering intelligence to suppress the retaliation. The U.S. has been very open, saying they helped and knew a strike from Hezbollah against Israel was likely. This explains why there's so much U.S. firepower in the Middle East right now.

I want to clarify that the U.S. has been sending mixed messages regarding the threat levels in the Middle East, especially about the progress of ceasefire talks with Hamas. The entire balance of the region right now depends on whether Hamas and Israel can reach a ceasefire deal. Another major factor, possibly the biggest, is how far Iran is willing to push things, either directly through their military or by using their allied factions spread throughout the Middle East.

🗺️ NORTH AMERICA: UNITED STATES

• Former President Donald Trump promised to create a Space National Guard if he is elected again in November. He said this is important for making sure America’s military defenses in space stay strong.

  Trump made these comments at the National Guard Association of the United States conference in Detroit. This adds another piece to the debate that military leaders, Congress members, and state governors are already having.

  “It’s time to set up a Space National Guard as the main backup for the U.S. Space Force,” he told about 4,000 people during his speech. “If I become president again, I will sign a historic law to create the Space National Guard.”

📊UKRAINE ACCUSED Of TERROISM

AFRICAN NATIONS ACCUSE UKRAINE OF TERRORISM IN THEIR COUNTRIES

Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have asked the president of the UN Security Council to criticize the Ukrainian government for what they call “open support for international terrorism” in the Sahel region.

A letter, dated August 19 and signed by the UN representatives of these three countries, was made public on Tuesday, August 20.

This comes after Ukrainian officials said Kyiv was involved in attacks by separatist rebels in Tinzawaten, which is in northeastern Mali. Andriy Yusov, a spokesperson for Ukraine's military intelligence agency, mentioned on TV that Malian rebels were given the "necessary" information to carry out the attack.

🔝 FUN FACT

The A-10 Warthog has a reputation for being so tough that pilots sometimes joke it could take a direct hit from a tank shell and still fly home. This is because the A-10 is designed with multiple redundant systems and heavy armor to protect the pilot and keep the plane operational even after significant damage. Its durability has earned it the nickname "The Flying Tank"!
