World War 3 fears were sparked this week after Israel hit the Syrian capital of Damascus early on Monday as part of its increasingly open assault on Iran's presence there. In response, Iran issued a chilling message to arch-enemy Israel – warning it is “impatient” and ready to confront and destroy the nation in a statement issued just hours after Israel launched the air raids in Syria.
The former Pentagon official Michael Maloof has warned the situation between the two states is getting “quickly out of hand” due to the “intensified Israeli attacks”.
Mr Maloof told RT America: “You have got to keep in mind that the alleged Iranian attack was in response to a prior Israeli attack on Syria.
“So, basically, the Israelis started the whole thing by firing rockets at their sites at the side of Syria.
“So what this indicates is a very rapid escalation that’s occurring and Netanyahu himself basically stated that he is only going to intensify and I think this is also a prelude to something even more serious in terms of probably creating even greater uncertainty and conflict within the region itself.

Praying for Israel!
The US needs to stay completely out of this.
Maloof blames Israel? Maloof is a goof.
Meh.

NETANYAHU TO HAMAS: ‘IF YOU ESCALATE, THE RESPONSE WILL BE DESTRUCTIVE’
Wish we could stay out of it, but Bolton is chomping at the bit.
This is tabloid hyperventilating nonsense. Israel has hit many many Iranian and Hezbollah targets in Syria over the past few years. Iran makes some verbal noise but cannot do anything much about it. It is nothing like “World War III”....
My money’s on Israel...total victory within 48 hours (and very possibly fewer than 48).
Agreed.
Once again the so-called “news” media reports that Israel “started” conflict by defending itself.
Don’t know when it will come (Ezekiel 38, that is) but I suspect it will come rather quickly when it does (which is not unusual).
Some of the nations in Ezekiel 38 seem surprised when it happens. Including Sheba and Dedan (basically Saudi Arabia).
Therefore it’s not a surprise that Saudi Arabi and Iran have been fighting, in one form or another, in Yemen.
Drama alert.
WWIII has started so many times, they should call it World War Wolf.
Ground troops might be a bad idea but I can't see any reason why Navy/Air Force fliers and missiles couldn't be involved.
But then I achieved the lofty rank of SP5 in the 1970s so it could be argued that my opinions mean nothing here.
I agree....

“The US needs to stay completely out of this.”
Fat chance.
“WWIII has started so many times, they should call it World War Wolf.”

Heh. Although pretty much any conflict has the potential to spark the “Big One”, I tend to agree.
