Both major United States political parties are loyal and subservient to Israel and Israeli interests. Both houses of Congress are represented by so-called leaders who are steadfastly committed to Israel's "security." Following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress in early 2015, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi proclaimed, "As one who values the U.S.-Israel relationship, and loves Israel, I was near tears throughout the Prime Minister's speech." Pelosi then reiterated President Barack Obama's proclamation: "All options are on the table for preventing a nuclear-armed Iran."
Then, during her opening statement (testimony) to the Senate Foreign Judiciary Committee on January 18, 2017, Haley suggested, "Nowhere has the UN's failure been more consistent and more outrageous than in its bias against our close ally Israel." She then justified Israel's record of "reasonable actions...to defend its security," before pointing her finger at "Syria, Iran, and North Korea."
Reminder: Back in 2012, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, along with 73 other United States senators, signed this AIPAC-backed letter: http://archive.is/57hJK
Signed by a supermajority of the Senate, the letter was titled, AIPAC PRAISES BIPARTISAN SENATE LETTER URGING FURTHER PRESSURE ON IRAN. The letter specifically fearmongered:
Then, in April 2017, PNAC cofounder, and board member of the Emergency Committee for Israel, Bill Kristol, answered the question, Which Path to Persia?
Notably, Bill Kristol was an outspoken proponent of the Iraq War WMD psychological operation during George W. Bush's warring reign. Remember, it was PNAC, Project for the New Amercian Century, the "think tank" Kristol cofounded with Robert Kagan (CFR, Brookings, Yale), that authored the 90-page, September 2000 report titled, Rebuilding America's Defenses.
Note: RAD Project participants included Thomas Donnelly, Scooter Libby, Paul Wolfowitz, Dov Zakheim, et al.
RAD specifically outlined the "need" for a preeminence of United States military forces across the world through the establishment of four core missions: the defense of the "American homeland," the fighting and winning of "multiple, simultaneous major theatre wars," the performance of "constabular duties associated with shaping the security environment" in key regions, and the transformation of United States forces "to exploit the revolution in military affairs." The report further stated that a "New Pearl Harbor," or "catastrophic and catalyzing event" was necessary to quickly usher in this so-called "process of (military) transformation." The writers of RAD then cited the CIA and provided a list of "regimes deeply hostile to America." That list included North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Libya.
On February 3, 2017, President Donald Trump tweeted:
Iran is playing with fire - they don't appreciate how "kind" President Obama was to them. not me!
The day before, Trump tweeted:
Iran has been formally PUT ON NOTICE for firing a ballistic missile. Should have been thankful for the terrible deal the U.S. made with them!
One day prior, National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn proclaimed, "As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice."
That same day, Trump tweeted:
Iran is rapidly taking over more and more of Iraq even after the U.S. has squandered three trillion dollars there. Obvious long ago!
