Iran is ready for a “decisive and difficult confrontation” with the US after Hillary Clinton threatened Tehran with military action. A top Iranian military official hit back at the US presidential candidate for her hawkish comments on Iran, stressing that Tehran is fully prepared for a tough, direct confrontation against the US. Press TV reports: Defining her hawkish foreign policy in a speech Thursday in San Diego, Clinton said the US could disarm Iran by military action if she became the president.

Hillary Clinton had a speech yesterday to discuss foreign policy, pardon, to stand at a podium and do nothing but criticize Donald Trump.

Clinton rattled off a bunch of random one-liners, which makes sense because the Clinton camp admitted earlier that it hadn't been able to determine just how to attack Donald Trump so it was simply going to try a bunch of things and see what caught on - yesterday was the ultimate platform for that strategy.

“Clinton to Paint Trump as a Risk to World Order.”

Thus did page one of Thursday’s New York Times tee up Hillary Clinton’s big San Diego speech on foreign policy.

Inside the Times, the headline was edited to underline the point:

“Clinton to Portray Trump as Risk to the World.”

The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement say that it looks increasingly likely that Israel was responsible for a series of cyber-attacks on their campaign’s website. The Palestinian-led movement said in a report on Thursday that its website was attacked six times in February and March. Press TV reports: The report, which was compiled by an online security service, eQualit.ie, said the cyber-attacks had a level of “sophistication and commitment” and knocked out the website for several hours each time.

With the latest polls showing Bernie Sanders narrowing the gap on Hillary Clinton’s lead to just two points, a former adviser to Bill Clinton predicts a win for the Vermont senator in the California primary next week could end the race for Hillary. He also predicts that Vice President Joe Biden could throw his hat in the ring by entering the presidential race and challenging Sanders to the White House.
