    You are avoiding war by supporting a country that has attacked an embassy???
  • @HarrySelahMedia
    They're really just insulting our intelligence at this point.. smh
  • @sandrafer7393
    The anchors: an example of journalism and critical thinking gone down the toilet.
  • @OMAR40977
    The way he justifies Israel crimes is pathetic
  • Where was the US Chief of Staff when Israel blatantly violated international law by attacking Iranian embassy in Damascas???? Hypocrisy and double standard of US and other racist western nations are appalling. Whether Iran will respond to Israeli aggression in self defence depends on its capability. So far, Iran has shown weakness.
  • Advising Iran not to escalate you REALLY should advise israil do the same.What a joke.At this point U.S sounds laughable.
  • @techhawk1543
    How would the US respond if it's Embassy was bombed ??
  • @dm7628
    They don’t care about famine in Gaza.
  • @eddiearmijo6635
    Just Get it over with already. Netanyahu needs too face Justice for His Crimes.
  • @adayinforever
    Imagine if Iran responded with the same proportionality that Israel responded with, in Gaza.
  • @2090AJames
    No you're not! This reminds of Bush gunning for Iraq.
  • @jaytaylor2312
    What he meant to say is we’re gonna keep throwing money at both sides to make it look like we care
  • @Amused-px6cr
    He says this as he salivates and thinks of the billions in arms sales... NONE of these people try to avoid war. Remember Iraq and Aghanistan
  • @Ian.549
    Why the US started it as usual?
