Meanwhile in Iraq & Syria

An Israeli minister Tuesday called for the assassination of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, likening his regime to the Nazis during World War II.

Yoav Galant, Israel’s housing minister, accused the Syrian regime of gassing its own people, burning their bodies and, ultimately, committing crimes against humanity not seen since Adolf Hitler’s party wiped out six million Jews in the Holocaust.

"The reality in which people are executed in Syria, being hit deliberately by chemical weapons, their bodies being burned, something we haven’t seen in 70 years, we are crossing a red line and it is time to eliminate Assad, literally,” Galant said Tuesday the Jerusalem Post reported.

Give me a good scope, a good gun, and little to no wind, and I'll make Assad history.

The US has to move its bases 1,000km away from Iran’s borders if it plans to keep sanctions in place against Tehran, or risk paying a “high price,” the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, said

"In case the US wants to insist on pursuing sanctions against Iran’s defense sector and the IRGC [Revolutionary Guards], it needs to first dismantle its regional bases within a range of 1,000km around Iranian borders,”

“Washington should be aware that it will pay dearly for any miscalculations,”

Jafari said that Iranian missile capabilities are “rapidly growing,” creating an effective deterrent against any threats, the agency reports. He added that the Islamic Republic’s missile program is by no means “bargainable or negotiable.”

Well, tell them thanks. It's about time for another ratings boost.
