White House envoy Steve Witkoff privately warned top Senate Republicans last week that Iran could unleash a mass casualty response if Israel bombs their nuclear facilities, according to a U.S. official and a source with direct knowledge.
-snip-
Last Thursday, Witkoff held a closed-door briefing on Iran with a group of Republican senators. Among them were Sens. Risch (R-Idaho), Graham (R-S.C.), Barasso (R-Wyo.), and Ricketts (R-Nebr.), the source with knowledge said.
Witkoff told the Senators that military strikes by Israel are on the table if no agreement is reached.
He then brought up Iran's ballistic missile capabilities. The U.S. is concerned Israel's air defenses would not be able to handle an Iranian response involving hundreds of missiles, the sources said.
Such an attack, Witkoff told the group, could cause massive casualties and damage.
Witkoff also raised concerns about Iran's ballistic missile arsenal during a speech in New York on Wednesday, calling it "as big of an existential threat" for Israel as Iran's nuclear capabilities.

Well yeah you can thank Biden and Obama for that, gave Iran BILLIONS so they could have all the money they needed to enrich themselves
Pallets of cash.
Wouldn’t military strategy be to take out the missiles before attacking the nuclear facilities?
The “mass casualty event” would occur in Iran. Their MIC (Mullah Industrial Complex) would be wiped out. Islam’s proxy would be incapacitated, but more jihadis would replace the martyrs. The jihad would continue apace. The singleness of purpose remains.
Israel’s response would be Tehran turned into a glass parking lot.
A lot of posturing and spin right now in this situation.
Taking out Iran was the ultimate post-9/11 goal of the Neocons than began in Iraq in 2003 with the allegation that Sadaam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Well, here we are and how does one view this situation in the light of their own personal experience with their Higher Power...
“In the Book of Esther a former Iranian king wanted his wife to be a porn star...”

Off the Ukraine Beat I see.
Iran launches more than 180 ballistic missiles at Israel
1 October, 2024
all the more reason for Israel to level the place.
Notice that Iran never fears that an Israeli or US response to their attacks might be a “mass casualty event.” That’s one reason they keep poking the hornet nest. They always have thought it is empty and abandoned.
Kyiv in 3 days! Putin summer offensive stronk like Zhukov!
Blast from the past not my blast though Masterhating Zelensky no better than Masterhating Putin IMHO.
Putin funded Iran’s drone factories. The Russo-Iranian axis is evil.
You brought back the “Axis Of Evil” wow ‘those oldies but goodies remind me of you...”
Funny how you’re not mad at Putin for funding Iran’s drone factories.
Tehran is relatively civilized. Just erase IRGC leadership, the city of Qom, and Jamkaran religious schools. Iranians will take it from there.
That's not news.
