I think Israel has known this would multi-front from the outset.
We will see how fast this escalates. The most potent weapon Iran really has is closing the Straits of Hormuz. That will cause great pain worldwide without creating a massive response attack on Iran itself. But who knows what this chaos will turn in to? I don’t think the current U.S. administration and the current U.S. military leadership is up to this kind of wildly unpredictable situation across practically an entire continent of potential fronts.
*****
Straits of Hormuz be damned. Iran plans to nuke Israel. Then there will be hell to pay. Biden didn’t warn Israel because he needed a distraction from him getting impeached. Democrats always start wars to distract from their own problems. Remember Clinton bombing Bosnia?
Sounds like the US needs to send another carrier or two
And a battleship
If Israel (or U.S.) can decapitate the Iranian leadership, it may provide an opening for a revolt to topple that country’s government. There is a significant population of disaffected youth in that country. They have tried to revolt before and have been crushed by the mullahs but it stands to reason that their a sizeable number of them willing to strike again if the situation is more favorable for their success.
Obama started relaxing restrictions on them in 2013 leading up to his nasty deal. They’ve been working on the A-Bomb since. Even though Trump killed the deal and reimposed sanctions, other nations did not.
The Iranians have had 10 years to perfect nuclear weapons.
My belief: They have and will use them on Israel. God will intervene.
250 nuke air burst above Kharg Island. Radiation is minimal. Oil exports are gone. Iran is devastated economically. All on Kharg Island are dead. War is not pleasant.
When Jimmy Carter was president. Electing a real President put an end to that nonsense.
Iran: Memo from the President to the Supreme Religious Leader
That’s interesting and a good historical summary.
I think you should add material on Flynn’s dissent from the “happy talk” about progress in Afghanistan. Because he was the one senior leader that flagged the BS about how things were going in Afghanistan.
That was a big part of why Obama got rid of him.

Oh really Iran?!?!?!?! Wow, yep, time indeed to wake up.
Very nice, well done !!!
“Thousands of rockets smuggled into Gaza. Could it be that hard to get a tactical nuke in there?”
Hamas in Damascus to the NE of Israel would be a better choice. Probably not too much Iron Dome coverage to the NE and quicker flight time. But I have no knowledge/purview on any of this.
You are correct in your observation, sir.
I was thinking about it.
The Iranians would claim that it was an Israeli weapon that went off during transport. Of course, that claim would not stand up to the slightest examination, but by then it would not matter.
The key factor would be the pro-Iranian faction of the cabal that is currently running the Biden administration. They must be in a position to get the American government to stand down after Iran uses nuclear weapons. "It's for the children".
They aren't there yet. They may never get that strong.
There is also the minor point that Iran may not yet have working nuclear weapons, in spite of the progress reports coming from their research teams.
Right now, the American government appears to be supporting Israel. That may change abruptly after the current blockade of Gaza substantially reduces the population of Gaza.
It will be very difficult for America to claim the "high moral ground" when we start to see heart-rending videos of Gazan women and children dying from starvation and thirst.
It has been over five days since the water was stopped. Those deaths are already occurring in numbers and will be increasing to catastrophic levels soon. That is the entire point of siege warfare after all. We have forgotten so much.
Somebody will get the videos out of Gaza and my guess is that American politicians will cave and allow "humanitarian aid" into Gaza. They will also demand a cease-fire to allow distribution of humanitarian aid.
Of course, all of those supplies will be taken by Hamas fighters to sustain their activities. A "cease fire" will allow Hamas to rearm and reposition their forces. That will bog down the IDF in Gaza and increase casualties.
That would be the best time for Iran to use a nuke - if they have any. If not, they can order Hezbollah to begin a full-scale attack on Israel from the north. And they can close the strait of Hormuz to commercial traffic. "It is Israel's fault for engaging in genocide of the Palestinian people", they will say.
The horrible truth is they won't be wrong about genocide. Expulsion or extermination of the Gaza Palestinians is the answer to the problem there. All other pathways have been tried and failed decisively. The "Final Solution" will scar Jewish culture for many generations to come. But there will be generations to come.
Hezbollah has access to anti-ship missiles which are capable of sinking our aircraft carriers. Our guys will need to keep well clear of them - or have "rules of engagement" that direct us to fire on any such installations as soon as they are discovered. Waiting until fired upon is a guarantee of death.
"Do unto others before they do unto you" would be a more suitable policy.
Gog and Magog.
Iran immediately bought one million gallons of SPF 10,000 sun block.
Still waiting for something other than “Iran will do something if Israel doesn’t stop.”
Israel already interdicted Iranian arms shipments through Syrian airports, shut down Iranian-backed Hezbullah in southern Syria, and will continue to clear Gaza of Hamas facilities.
Short of a full-scale suicidal attack by Iran, they won’t do anything. And these articles don’t add anything besides possible muslim lies and bluster.
Depending on the level of crazy, a ground blast could be used, in Gaza. No risk of a shoot-down.
Great time for the U.S.A. to have a demented POTUS and no Speaker of the House.
