Israel targeting Iranian arms flow to Ukraine, Netanyahu tells CNN
The Jerusalem Post ^ | February 1, 2023 | TOVAH LAZAROFF AND OMRI NAHMIAS

Israel is targeting the production of Iranian weapons that could be sent to Russia for use against Ukraine, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CNN in an interview aired on Wednesday.

“Israel... acts in ways that I will not itemize here against Iran’s weapons productions, which are used against Ukraine,” Netanyahu said.

Israel has already been active in working to thwart Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons, but in his conversation with CNN, he said that such efforts were also directed toward preventing the flow of Iranian weapons to Russia.

“We are attacking not only Iran’s nuclear program – trying to thwart it – but also taking action against certain weapons development that Iran has and, Iran invariably exports them.”

He spoke days after The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times reported that Israel was behind an explosion at a weapons depot in the Iranian city of Isfahan, known to be a place where Iran has enriched uranium. It’s been unclear if the target of the explosion was Iran’s nuclear program, its missiles or its armed drone program. Iran sends both missiles and armed drones to Moscow.

He spoke with CNN just after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spent two days in Israel meeting with top officials, including Netanyahu.

Things sure seem to be shaping up in accordance with
Revelation.

Truly a Looking Glass. The last article I read said that Russia was targeting Iranian sites for Israel.

That Russia bombing Iran stuff was all speculation.
This is from the horse’s mouth.

It would be a glorious day if the GOP went “no contact” with the bastions of communist propaganda.

Just break the trauma bond for crying out loud.

Deny the abusers of the Nation and the Truth any access.

“Countdown to Looking Glass.”

The teams still perform their function 24 hours a day, but now only go airborne for training, drills and alerts. The 24/7 airborne missions stopped in 1990.

So I guess it’s fair game to bomb Ukraine’s arms suppliers in Europe and America?

Russia to build attack drones for Ukraine war with the help of Iran, intelligence assessment says

https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/21/politics/russia-iran-drones-intel-assessment/index.html

If it is in the news that means it’s already been done long ago. Even small corporations make contingencies for supply chain disruptions.

There’s virtually no way there’s not redundancy in production. Even the mid-sized company I work for does this.

Why would Israel do this?

Wouldn’t Iranian weapons in the Ukraine be better than Iranian weapons in Iran being pointed at Israel.

Well, WE (USA) sure as heck don’t have @ present much redundancy in weapons production.

The idea is to take out the production facilities. I’d hit design and prototyping resources too.

Well, I don’t think Isreal is too concerned about Iranian weapons either way. I think we saw what Bibi thinks of them a few nights ago.

Kinda hard to battle test the new MKIII version if Israel blew up the upcoming shipment @ the depot.

Israel would be concerned about improved Iranian missiles and drones used in mass attacks.

Well, not gonna be worried about that for a couple of weeks. It gonna take that long to put the fire out.

And funny…no one is talking about the “earthquake” near the nuke labs.

And the IRGS were blowed up good too.

But, yeah…get all excited about the Persians.

Good point.

Also, the Middle East isn’t a strong point for me. Two relatives of mine have taken trips to Israel, Jordan, & Egypt between 1981 & the mid 1990’s.

I’ve picked their brains, but the region is still an enigma for me.
