Escalation will not serve anyone, says the one who's escalating and providing ALL the

[bobbysinger]

No one cares what Blinken says especially not Bibi. Sit down and shut up clearly Bibi is the senior partner here.

[sjmousavi]

Staggering, isn't it? All the escalation stems and initiates from his department. Unequivocal support for all the atrocities.

Does anybody interested who blinken warns? 😂

[vissarion]

The major escalator in the world is the USA

[musiconabudget]

The only one who is escalating is israel and the USA

[DonTuliosS]

In other words he's saying, pissrael can attack anyone, but anyone else is is not allowed to defend themselves

[boo]

All parties de-escalate.. If A attacks B, we will defend A. If B attacks A, we will still defend A.
Simple.. LOL

Everyone knows who escalates tensions in middle east, and who helps the escalator...then pretend that they r trying their best to calm the situation

[berisforsdandrews]

They been here already, so eveytime isreal does this, its no Escalation, but isreal keep doing it, at some point, you have to put your feet down and say enough is enough..and we United States, needs to stay the hell out of it.

Israel goes on an assassination spree, and Blinken, its Protector, appears telling those hurt not to raise tensions?

[ukjzytm]

Like they warned Russia. All the countries are tired of American terror in the world.

[joetran]

Says after "his ally" makes a major strike... What did you think would happen?

[mohammedrishad]

As if de-escalation is only a one sided responsibilty

[muhammadyasirali]

You should have made that statement when Yahoo was addressing congress and also announced arms embargo on israel.

[mattjames]

Yea but only one party keeps escalating and attacking sovereign country's . Iran has a right to defend itself and america needs to tell its pawn to stop escalating it's attacks on others!

[abulbarakat]

Why doesnt Blinken tell Israel to stop the war.

[sashasavisha]

Blinken should change his name to Weak Blinker and go to Iran and talk diplomacy while Israel is bombing.

[ymoneify]

the audacity to talk about de-escalation while USA continous pouring its weapons arming the israel regime.
