US President Joe Biden is set to meet his national security team on Monday to discuss “developments in the Middle East”, the White House has said, as the US deploys extra fighter jets and warships to the region amid growing fears of an Iranian attack on Israel.
Regional tensions have increased after the assassination last week of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran a day after an Israeli strike in Beirut killed Fuad Shukur, a senior military commander from the Lebanese group Hezbollah. Both groups are backed by Iran, which has sworn revenge.
Biden will also speak to Jordan’s King Abdullah II, the White House said,

The only person Joe Biden is looking forward to meeting today--or pretty much any random day at this point--is the nurse who brings him a cup of pudding for being "such a good boy!"

Yeah, that should fix a problem that has been going on since the Sixth Century when the insane, bloodthirsty pedophile declared himself to be the only path to Allah.

SO Joe is on the job? This doesn't bring any solace or confidence in the situation being addressed in any fashion other than telling Israel to stand down. It is Biden/Harris who have brought helped this escalation to this point in the first place. If they had not stopped sending the weapons and munitions and let Israel do what they needed to do without interference it may not have gotten worse. Joe and Kam didn't help matters in anycase. God bless Israel

Iran aka Persia has never been appeased. They take what is handed to them and then take more for 5 thousand years now. Joe's team is forever stupid.

Biden wants to be there to make sure Israel is finished off once and for all.

Re #2, actually the Persians/Iranians have been a festering problem in that region since before Xerxes, who invaded Greece in 480 BC. These pukes have been troublemakers for about 2500 years, at least. Pretty much ALL of recorded history.

Gee, and not a single person finds it absurd that a man who can't think is meeting with a security team to discuss deploying fighter jets and warships? It's perfectly acceptable to have a President making military life or death decisions when we know his brain isn't working? We are carrying on as though there's no problem?
We are one very sick society to accept Biden's impairment with no questions asked. Would you give your car keys to a child you knew was incapable of driving?

Aren't we lucky to have such a caring leader that he/she will come out of retirement to take a meeting? (What are Joe's pronouns?)
Wow! Talk about accomplishments! Just wow!

I can only imagine who his "National Security Team" is. Are any mullahs on it?

This is to set the stage for a "war" that the admin and republican and demo congress think will save them and the stock market.(not to mention their military industrial donors.)
Also perhaps delaying the elevtion?

Ayatollah Hominy and the mullahs should be killed now. Rat now. Doesn't matter how. May the mother of all "accidents" befall them.

Incidentally, hominy is something that is ground or beaten, commonly corn. Khamenei ought to be beaten, then ground to a fine consistency.
I call attention to #4, who made the same point I made last week. Names of periodicals, especially, should be spelled correctly. If they're not, it becomes very difficult to look them up in the search function.
