  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

New escalation: The Israeli military says it intercepted waves of missiles fired from Iran for the first time since early April, and Israeli sources vowed the country will deliver a “powerful” response. Tehran said it would launch further attacks if Israel continues its offensive in Lebanon, where a deadly Israeli strike hit Beirut on Sunday amid fighting with Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Trump’s response: US President Donald Trump told Fox News the Iranian strikes are “certainly not going to help” negotiations on ending the war. Trump told Tehran to “get back to the table and make a deal.”

• Israel “won’t have any choice”: Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would have to accept any deal the US reaches with Iran, telling The Financial Times, “I call all the shots.” Trump also told Axios he would urge Israel not to retaliate against Iran.

President Donald Trump said Sunday that Israel should not retaliate against Iran following it's missile barrage, arguing that further action could jeopardize ongoing negotiations.
"We don't need another one," Trump told Axios after the Iranian attack before saying he planned to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"The Iranian strikes didn't hurt anybody. Hopefully Israel is not going to retaliate," Trump told the outlet.
"If Bibi strikes them back, it's just gonna keep going like the last 47 years, or the last 3,000 years," the president added.
Trump reiterated that Washington was close to reaching an agreement and warned that escalating tensions could derail the effort.
"We are very close to a final deal with Iran. It is going to be a good deal. I don't want it to blow up because of what is happening now," he said, adding that he was going to "call Bibi right now and tell him not to retaliate."
"Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike, and Iran had its strike. We don't need another one," Trump said.
