US Forces on High Alert, Preparing for 'Significant' Attack in Middle East by Iran on US, Israeli Assets
Red State ^ | 04/05/2024 | Ward Clark

American forces have been placed on "high alert" as of Friday, in anticipation of a possible attack by Iranian forces on either U.S. or Israeli assets in the Middle East. The attack, if it happens, is expected to come as soon as next week.

Senior US officials currently believe that an attack by Iran is “inevitable” – a view shared by their Israeli counterparts, that official said. The two governments are furiously working to get in position ahead of what is to come, as they anticipate that Iran’s attack could unfold in a number of different ways – and that both US and Israeli assets and personnel are at risk of being targeted.

A forthcoming Iranian attack was a major topic of discussion on President Joe Biden’s phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday.

The attack is expected to be in retaliation for the killing of several Iranian officials in an Israeli air attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1st. The Biden administration reportedly notified Iran that the U.S. had no part in the attacks; they appear to be trying to deflect Iranian efforts away from American forces and installations.

The US was quick to inform Iran that the Biden administration was not involved and had no advance knowledge of Monday’s strike on the embassy and has warned Iran against coming after American assets.

“The United States had no involvement in the strike and we did not know about it ahead of time,” a National Security Council spokesperson told CNN earlier this week.

Earlier Friday, a statement from the United Nations took a distinctly anti-Israel tone.

If Iran attacks, we should destroy their leadership, and help the people revolt.

Too bad the Sea-Eye-Eh seem to be big time Islamists.

When inflation is through the roof, food prices are high and fuel as well and the citizenry is angry , divided and threatening revolt , what to do if you're a Democrat?

Go to war.

The aircraft is on the tarmac prepping for our response. The pallets of cash are being loaded. Same as last time.

It is sad commentary indeed that I do not support the squatter in the White House in any way, shape or form, and that I find myself supporting Israel over the United States in the present conflict.

The best thing that can happen between now and Inauguration Day is for Traitor Joe to stay locked in the White House basement and that Bibi leaves nothing and no one standing in Gaza or Tehran.

A large chunk of State Department and Pentagon personnel are Iranian assets thanks to the smelly anal fingers of Obama, Valery Jarret and John Kerry.

Iran and China have spies in EVERY federal agency. They covertly direct a lot of the foreign policy.

If you want to exterminate Iranian Mullahs, you must first take out and vaporize Washington D.C. It’s the only way to be sure. /spit

My money is on Iran attacking US forces. Biden’s response would be to give them more money and lift more sanctions.

False flag incidents during election season where the central government is threatened internally are always a potential tactic. The deep state has recruited and helped millions of unknown individuals (mostly military aged males) violate our borders, and then dispersed them throughout the country. Having a foreign “enemy” attach Americans abroad by setting the stage for such, if necessary, is just more “prep work” for the coming election. The deep state never sleeps.

Remember all the money (cash) Barack Hussein Obama and Joe Biden have given to the Iranian leadership (less commissions). Does anyone thing the Iranians don’t have the proof of those payments? Nothing will happen to Iran.

It wont be Biden and the US doing the attacking.

Israel will attack and Saudi Arabia will clap their hands with glee (behind the scenes of course.)

Then the Middle East will take on the look of the Christening scene in the Godfather.

It wont be pretty and Joe will be a spectator.

History would indicate a VERY high probability that Iran will not attack directly, but will do so through its proxies. If that happens and we are hit, go for the jugular and knock out Iran’s refineries and any refined product import facilities.

Especially if Deep State has one of their proxies do it and pretends one of Iran's proxies did it. History would indicate a VERY high probability that Deep State will not attack directly, but will do so through proxies.

“If Iran attacks, we should destroy their leadership, and help the people revolt.”

Decapitate the leadership of the mullahs and the Iranian people will take back their country.

The forces are still folding their rainbow flags so they have not reached full readiness yet.
