WASHINGTON — Biden administration officials are concerned that Iran may be planning to hit targets inside Israel in retaliation for the Israeli airstrikes in Syria this week that killed several senior Iranian officials, according to two U.S. officials.

The officials said any retaliation inside of Israel is expected to focus on military or intelligence targets, rather than civilians. They also said the administration has begun considering options for how to respond to various possible retaliatory moves by Iran.

Iran has threatened to retaliate, saying the building destroyed was a consular building and therefore was an attack on Iran itself.

Don’t put it past the traitorous scum in this Administration to secretly supply Iran with covert info. Besides how do they know Iran will only target military installations? Almost borderline defense of Iran statements.

Uh... no... they’re not in the least “concerned”. In fact, they’re probably counting on it.

I believe the only thin the Biden administration along with him are only worried about negative polls and how to win in spite of being the worst Presidential administration in history.

Biden and all his administration don’t give a rat’s ass if Israel gets bombed. Hell, those disgusting people may even secretly revel if that happens.

So far I have Biden at #4. After Buchanan, Wilson and Lyndon Johnson.

But there's still time. At this rate, I may move him into #3, depending on how things go in Ukraine, possibly #2.

I am wondering if part of the reason Israel pulled out of Southern Gaza is to prep for a dustup with Iran?

Also... If such a contest is coming, Israel can’t risk a delay in weapons deliveries from the USA. So, Biden may have Bibi over a barrel, so to speak.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I think an Iranian attack inside Israel is what caused the current issues. SURE they call themselves Ham-ass, but aren’t they really just West Coast Iran?

“ They also said the administration has begun considering options for how to respond to various possible retaliatory moves by Iran.”

What does this have to do with the United States? Or, more exactly, did Israel take this incredible risk with certainty of an Iranian attack because they believed, rightly or wrongly, that Iran’s perfectly predictable retaliation would be casus bellorum for the United States?

Iran does not have the capability of striking Israel. If somehow they did something, the retaliation would mark the end of the mullah regime.

If we had a strong president Iran wouldn’t do anything. Just ask Soulemani... Oh wait...

But no, now we have this child sniffing jerk who is supporting Iran.

About four days ago, certain personnel in the US military was warning Israel that Iran was going to attack them within the next 48 hours. I have not heard of any such attack happening over 4 days later. Perhaps this “wishful thinking” failed to provoke such an attack from Iran.

Instead of being “concerned” they should be preparing to eliminate Iran.
Instead, these idiots are financing Iran.
