Israeli defense minister: 'We are ready to fight' Iran & Hezbollah – IDF is now finalizing targets and strike packages
allisrael ^ | 3/5/202` | Joel C. Rosenberg

In his bluntest language yet, Benny Gantz warns that an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites – and a Third Lebanon War – could be coming.

U.S. President Joe Biden ordered air strikes in eastern Syria yesterday against Iranian-funded and supplied terrorist militias whom U.S. intelligence says were responsible for the recent series of attacks on American and Iraqi bases and soldiers in Iraq. But those were pinpricks, designed to take out a few buildings, not to take out actual terrorist leaders.

Meanwhile, Biden has removed the Houthis – an Iranian-funded and armed terrorist proxy group in Yemen – from the State Department’s “foreign terrorist organization” list, even as the Houthis continued to fire missiles at Saudi targets, including its capital Riyadh. And the White House seems determined – indeed, almost desperate – to get back in the deeply flawed Iran nuclear deal despite the fact that Tehran has bluntly and repeatedly rejected Biden’s terms. Indeed, Biden and his team appear to be letting up on the Trump “maximum pressure” campaign of sanctions on Iran.

Moderate Sunni Arab allies throughout the Middle East are getting edgy....So are senior Israeli officials.

Now, in his bluntest language yet, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz is warning that Israel is finalizing its target packages to strike Iran and Hezbollah – Iran’s terror proxy force in Lebanon – in case the U.S. and international community are unwilling or unable to prevent the mullahs in Tehran from moving closer to building nuclear weapons.

“If the world stops [the regime in Tehran] before, it's very much good,” Gantz said in a major interview with the Fox News Channel that aired Thursday night. “But if not, we must stand independently and we must defend ourselves by ourselves.”

Well Gantz did continue saying.... “The Iranians are breaking everything that we [the international community] agreed with them. This is something they are trying to build [nuclear arsenal], either to use it – God forbid – or to use as a deterrence canopy to enable them to even further the pressure on the regional aspects that we have been talking about. Therefore, the Iranian nuclear aspiration must be stopped.”

BTW....Israel Defense Forces intelligence briefing indicated that Israel is preparing for several days of fighting with Hezbollah,” Fox reported....And.... “Local media reports said 3,000 Lebanese targets would be hit every day during the next conflict, with an aim to kill 300 Hezbollah fighters every 24 hours.”

A friend and I wargamed this as having Saudi cooperation. I will not go into detail since it could potentially give away a real plan. I’ll just say that there wasn’t much of an Iranian Air Force afterwards.

Disclosure: I was one of the beta testers on Harpoon and CMANO.

Let’s just be blunt..... The Biden administration is making Israel nervous......Biden wants to ‘dance’ with Iran.

Goody. So let them.

Since PDJT made us energy independent, we shouldn’t have to get involved.

The Thief in Chief is the central cause of this because they see weakness and their demands will only be elevated.

If it collapses into nuclear war as the tiny IDF has to resort to their worst case weapons then so be it. The filth that stole our elections and installed the drooling cretin will bear the blame.

The United States military should not be used to prop up the historical epic mistakes and crimes they have committed.

I understand... .... Saudi would be happy to cooperate although as usual they don't generally broadcast it. Iran would like nothing better than to displace Saudi's influence over the Middle East nations.

Recalling Operation Babylon in 1981 which was a surprise air-strike conducted by the IAF against the nuclear site Saddam was building. Story is Israel contacted our President ‘after’ they bombed the site which the response was in a very easy laid back way.....”Oh really..Ok...thanks for letting us know”. LOL
