Podcasts about kataib hezbollah

PREVIEW: IRAN: ISRAEL: Conversation with colleague Malcolm Hoenlein regarding the Kataib Hezbollah, a private army in Iraq that works for Tehran -- and its continued threat to American forces without much risk from Washington. Air tonight 1932 Baghdad

Professor Hasan Al-Momani, Dean of the Prince Al-Hussein Bin Abdullah II School of Political Science and International Studies at the University of Jordan, joins the podcast to discuss Jordan's Air Force downing Iranian drones in April. Dr. Al-Momani explains how the Jordanian public responded to the incident and analyzes the Hashemite Kingdom's summoning of an Iranian diplomat. Finally, he examines the statement by Kataib Hezbollah— an Iran-backed militia— pledging to send weapons to 12,000 fighters inside Jordan.

Kataib Hezbollah leader Abu Baqir al-Saadi was assassinated using a ‘flying Ginsu' this month. It's among the increasingly sophisticated weapon systems being used in targeted killings.  

In Episode 212 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg takes stock of the latest escalation in the Middle East—and continues to note discrepancies in the reportage. US air-strikes on Iraq are said to have targeted the self-declared Islamic Resistance in Iraq, and its constituent militias such as Kataib Hezbollah. But some reports indicate the actual target has often been the Popular Mobilization Forces, a paramilitary network integrated into Iraq's official security services. Meanwhile, insufficiently noted media accounts report "no evidence" to back up Israeli claims of Hamas co-optation of UNWRA, which has led to a devastating cut-off of funds to the UN agency by the Western powers.

Cuatro meses después de su inicio, la guerra entre Israel y Hamas, en la devastada franja de Gaza, sigue provocando implicaciones en toda la región de Medio Oriente e inevitablemente las tendrá en el cada vez más inminente y mundialmente decisivo torneo electoral estadounidense, el primer martes de noviembre.   Por ahora el conflicto está signado por el fracaso. No hay tregua. Por un lado, las ambiciosas exigencias del grupo terrorista, por otro, los reclamos de sectores israelíes para seguir actuando con fuerza y agilizar la entrega de rehenes, complican las vías de negociación.   Y en ese tablero, juega el Secretario Estado de Estados Unidos, Antony Blinken, que sigue moviéndose de un escenario al otro en busca de las líneas que restablezcan un muy precario equilibrio que hoy parece imposible.   Pero no encontrar un acuerdo, no es una opción para la Administración Biden, que por un lado busca el cese al fuego en Gaza, pero por otro, quedó obligado a la retaliación contra la milicia pro iraní que la semana tras anterior mató a tres soldados estadounidenses e hirió a otros 40 en un ataque con dron en Jordania. La represalia se ejecutó en Irak y cobró la vida de uno de los líderes de la milicia pro iraní Kataib Hezbollah, aunque también continúan las acciones bélicas contra los rebeldes hutíes respaldados por Irán en Yemen.   Es mucho lo que está sucediendo y por ello conversamos con el especialista en Relaciones Internacionales, Carlos Cascante.

//The Wire//1900Z February 8, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: USMC HELICOPTER FOUND IN CALIFORNIA, NO SURVIVORS REPORTED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The U.S. conducted multiple airstrikes in Baghdad overnight, targeting senior leadership of local Kataib Hezbollah brigades. This is a continuation of the sporadic strikes that have been conducted in the region since the attack on the US Tower 22 base in Jordan.Far East: Taiwanese and American tensions with China have escalated following the quiet announcement that the U.S. will permanently station Special Forces troops at observation posts on the islands of Kinmen and Matsu. These troops will be supporting the Taiwanese 101st Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion.Europe: Widespread protests continue as before. In Spain, demonstrators have begun blocking distribution centers for grocery store chains affiliated with the climate agenda. This follows protesters in France using agricultural equipment to dig up the pavement in grocery store parking lots that have pledged support for climate policies.-HomeFront-CA: The search has concluded for TIGER11, the CH-53E that went down early yesterday morning. Rescue teams have located the crash site in Pine Valley, and have begun recovering the remains of all 5 crew members. No further details have been provided on the cause or exact location of the crash.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Despite much thought to the contrary, Taiwan is not merely one island many miles off the coast of mainland China. Taiwan has claimed several of the very small islands immediately off the coast of the mainland. For instance, Kinmen Island is located in the heart of Weitou Bay, which is host to a major Chinese logistics hub and the nearby city of Xiamen. The Mashan Observation Post (where US Forces are stationed) is literally two miles from the Chinese mainland. For reference, Ellis Island is about a mile from Manhattan. Though this observation post has been operational for many years (as a propaganda broadcast station), the public admittance of a permanent US presence will likely lead to increased tensions in the region.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

U.S. President Joe Biden said the U.S. has decided how to retaliate for the attack that killed three U.S. soldiers in Jordan. Kataib Hezbollah says it will suspend attacks against U.S. troops. And, Israeli forces disguised as civilian women and medical workers storm a hospital in the West Bank.

President Joe Biden says the U.S. “shall respond” after a drone attack Sunday left three U.S. Army soldiers dead and more than 30 others wounded at a base in Jordan. Iran-backed militias were reported to be responsible for the deadly drone attack, and in response, Robert Greenway says, the U.S. needs to make Iran “feel the cost” of its actions. (Iran denied any responsibility for the attack.)Greenway, director of the Allison Center for National Security at The Heritage Foundation, says the attacks will continue if Iran does not feel swift and certain consequences. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)Greenway, who served on the National Security Council in the Trump administration, says he would advise Biden, first, to “stop paying them [Iran] money. Two, we need to stop paying other governments money that ends up in the hands of perpetrators like Kataib Hezbollah.”And finally, Greenways says, the "[Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] serving officers, the arm of the Iranian government that executes these attacks … need to be attacked, and they need to be held accountable for the attacks.” Greenway joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share what we know about the attack on the U.S. base in Jordan and how the Biden administration is likely to respond.

The United States has carried out targeted strikes on facilities associated with Iran-allied militias, following a severe attack earlier this week that wounded three American soldiers. This represents one of the most consequential assaults on U.S. forces within Iraq and Syria, according to both Pentagon and White House sources. Responding to this critical situation, U.S. forces undertook necessary and well-measured strikes directed toward sites associated with the Iran-aligned Kataib Hezbollah group, the perpetrators behind the assault on Erbil Air Base in Iraq. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin shared these details in an official communication to the daily news agency. Despite over 100 asserted attacks on U.S. and coalition installations in Iraq and Syria from October 17 upwards, according to the Associated Press, this incident was the first to inflict harmful injuries on American servicemen. This event might hint at an intensification in regional tensions. President Joe Biden was hastily informed about the serious drone strike early on Monday and called upon the Defense Department for suggestions on how to react against the groups involved. President Biden went into a detailed and intensive discussing schedule during a Monday afternoon call with the Defense Secretary and members of his national security team. During this crucial conversation, the President ordered strikes against three specific locations that were being used by Kataib Hezbollah and its associated entities for unmanned drone operations. This order came directly from the White House.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Tuesday, December 26th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Ugandan Christians jailed for evangelism Morning Star News reports that two Christians were jailed for evangelizing in eastern Uganda, Africa.   After three days of evangelism in a higher concentration-Muslim area in the city of Soroti, Joseph Omadi and Isaac Napakol were chased by a mob, and then arrested by police. At issue is Uganda's penal code act which criminalizes “writing or uttering words with the intent to wound religious feelings.”  The language is imprecise and may be used to violate freedom of speech in the country. U.S. retaliates in Iraq after three US troops wounded in attack After three U.S. service men were wounded in a drone attack in northern Iraq, America retaliated with three targeted attacks on terrorist facilities in Iraq Monday, reports Reuters. The facilities are run by Iranian-backed militia, Kataib Hezbollah, and affiliated groups. Gaza Hospital announces 209 injured, 131 dead on Christmas The Israeli-Hamas War continued on Christmas Day. Doctors without Borders reported that a Gaza Strip-area hospital, al Aqsa hospital, admitted 209 injured and 131 dead. USA Today quotes Bethlehem Mayor Hana Haniyeh who said, “Our message every year on Christmas is one of peace and love, but this year it's a message of sadness, grief and anger in front of the international community with what is happening and going on in the Gaza Strip.” And the Roman Catholic Pope Francis took the opportunity to express his grief over what he called the “abominable attack” of Hamas on October 7. He called for the release of hostages and an end to Israel's military campaign in Gaza. King Charles' Christmas message King Charles III brought a Christmas message yesterday — in the tradition of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.   He spoke of Christ exemplifying love for neighbors, offering shelter to others, and stressed the importance of protecting the Earth and “our natural world” including animals.   Listen. KING CHARLES III: “Service to others is but one way of honoring the whole of creation, which, after all, is a manifestation of the Divine. This is a belief shared by all religions. To care for this creation is a responsibility owned by people of all faiths and of none. We care for the Earth, for the sake of our children's children. “During my lifetime, I've been so pleased to see a growing awareness of how we must protect the Earth and our natural world as the one home which we all share. I find great inspiration now from the way so many people recognize this, as does the Christmas story, which tells us that angels brought the message of hope first to shepherds. These were people who lived simply amongst others of God's creatures. Those close to nature were privileged that night.” (You can see the transcript here) His great-grandfather, George V, began the tradition of the Christmas Message to the commonwealth back in the 1930s.  Queen Elizabeth II carried on the tradition from the time of her coronation in 1952. While she mentioned the words of Jesus as the “bedrock” of her faith, the messages typically have not reflected the real reason why Jesus came.  Matthew 1:21 says, “You shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.” 1 John 3:8b explains that Christ came to destroy the works of the devil, and, as Hebrews 2:14 notes, to destroy the one who has the power of death, that is the devil.  In addition, Mark 10:45 says Christ came to give His life as a ransom for many and Luke 4:18-19 explains that He came to proclaim good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to the captives, the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. Contrast between Christmas messages of Biden and Trump  President Joe Biden took to social media with a written Christmas message. He wrote “take a few moments of quiet reflection and find that stillness that's at the center of the Christmas story. May you find peace in this silent night. And warmth from those surrounding you.” Former President Donald Trump was far more explicit in his Christmas message to the nation, reports Newsweek. Listen. TRUMP: “More than 2,000 years ago God sent His only begotten Son to be with us. An angel announced the birth of our Lord and Savior to humble shepherds. He said, ‘I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all of the people. Today, in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord. You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.' At Christmas, we thank God for sending us His Son to bring peace to our souls and joy to the world.” Home mortgage rates dropped According to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, home mortgage rates are down again — lowered this week to 6.67% down from 6.95% last week.  That's down from 7.79% in October. Prices for homes remain high in the U.S.  The inventory of homes on the market is 34% below where it was before the pandemic. Existing home sales in November registered 7.3% lower than November of 2022. The median sales price was $387,600 — 4% higher than a year ago. Focus on Christ and need for salvation And finally, from all of us at Generations and The Worldview newscast team, we wish you a blessed Christmas season, always remembering and rejoicing in the coming of Jesus Christ, and our need for His salvation.

On today's Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck breaks down the U.S. airstrike against Iran-backed militias in Syria on February 25th. The strike occurred along the Iraq/Syria border and targeted Iraq-based terror militias, including Kataib Hezbollah. At least 17 of these fighters were reportedly killed, including one Kataib Hezbollah member. The airstrike came in response to a series of rocket barrages against U.S. personnel in Iraq over the past two weeks. But will it be enough to deter the Iranian regime and its proxies from further terror attacks--and does it change Biden's desire to re-enter the disastrous Iran nuclear deal?
