Except... They don’t have the resources or military intelligence to do that. Idle threats are just that... Idle.
And just think—four years ago, Iran was broke and prostrate, a threat to no one. So who helped them get back on their feet so rapidly?
Because the assclown behind the Marine barracks bombing got taken out. Good! Maybe i-uh-toeluh assh*** will be next.
Well, at least there is the silver lining that Iran is finally taking direct action and not acting through its paramilitary proxies. For some reason, the West has been unwilling to strike Iran as long as Iran maintains the fiction that its Hamas or some other terror group that they sponsor taking the action.
The ‘83 Marine barracks jihadi was Fuad Shukr of Hezbollah, who Israel took out a few days before in Lebanon. The guy taken out in Iran (Ismail Haniyeh) was the Hamas political leader.
Dang! You are correct in correcting me. In either case, good for the IDF. 😊👍
“They don’t have the resources or military intelligence to do that. Idle threats are just that... Idle.”
Iran could smuggle deadlier weapons into Lebanon.
I think everything changes if Iran makes a direct attack on Israel.
I think it instantly puts targets on the heads of every Iranian leader. And puts them in the legitimate target combatant category.
I think Iran changes very quickly with a few will placed strikes.
the unrest and riots that have been put down and contained all this time go forward sucessfully without the strongman holding it all together.
“...I think it instantly puts targets on the heads of every Iranian leader...”
Well, in the famous words of St. Kyle of Kenosha, “F*%# around and find out.” 😁
Did he announce it from his very very deep German made bunker ?
New York Times reporting that the Hamas political leader was killed by a bomb smuggled into the country and planted in his room months ago. This sounds fishy to me. Is there any reason Iran might have killed him themselves ?
Mossad has a very effective clandestine network within Iran. Its prime mission is to learn of and thwart any actual nuclear attack by Iran on Israel. Taking out this Hamas fiend was done if and only if it did not risk the Mossad network. Thus far Iran has not been able to identify the network and is extremely frustrated. Israel itself must be absolutely careful that US intelligence does not learn their idenities. Under Obama all CIA operative in China were identified and eliminated. Try to imagine what would happen if a President Harris, a Secretary of State Kerry or a CIA Diector Brennan or Klapper had such information.
It is within the realm of possibility, so that they could make him a martyr and an excuse....................
Dear Lord,
Let it be as successful as last time.
He just mage himself a valued target
They have a seemingly endless supply of Ayatollahs................
Must have with so many passed on.
Hi.
Between you and me Qom is not a military target, but nuke it anyway and see the Islamists poop their collective pants.
Sure, Nantez and Bashir ARE military targets, but this target would be more fun.
