US intelligence: This will be the Iranian retaliation
Israel National News ^ | 4/5/24 | staff

Posted on 04/06/2024 3:30:53 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

The US has picked up intelligence on what an Iranian retaliatory strike for the alleged Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus in which a senior member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards was eliminated, will look like, CBS News reported on Friday.

According to the report, the American intelligence indicates that Iran is planning a retaliatory attack that would include a swarm of Shaheed loitering drones and cruise missiles.

Officials quoted in the report say the timing and target are unknown, but a proportional response to the Damascus attack would be to hit an Israeli diplomatic facility.

The attack is likely to come between now and the end of Ramadan next week, according to CBS News.

Another important unknown is where the drones and missiles would be launched — from Iraq or Syria, which could prompt a thin claim of deniability by Tehran — or from Iranian territory.

“US intelligence” knows so much about what is going to happen because they are planning it.

Forgot that @$##%# Ramadan was still dragging on. After celebrating the last Juneteenth and Black History Month I was depleted in energy.

In World War II author Robert Ludlum tried to join the Royal Canadian Air Force but was not accepted and he then joined the US Marine Corps and served in the South Pacific from 1945-1947.

He said there was briefly talk about assigning him to intelligence-—the closest he would get to being a spy like his novel heroes.
“I believe someone must have said ‘Ludlum and intelligence, no, those two do not go together’ so I didn’t get the assignment.”

I wonder about the caliber of the international intelligence community.

Don’t these cultists also believe that they get extra bonus virgins if they murder during the “holy” month of Ramadan? That would point to a strike in the next week.

It will be hilarious if/when it fails.

"“US intelligence” knows so much about what is going to happen because they are planning it."

Sadly plausible. We help Iran whenever possible, including waiving restrictions so Iran can sell billions in oil and and trying to destabilize the Israeli government.

I never believe US Intelligence anymore. They have destroyed their own credibility.

“Another important unknown is where the drones and missiles would be launched — from Iraq or Syria, [which could prompt a thin claim of deniability by Tehran] — or from Iranian territory.”

They are going to talk big, say they are going to attack, perform an attack and then deny it was them?

That would undercut the entire reason for the attack and make them look like wimps, silly writer.

It doesn’t take much intelligence to predict that the Iranians plan to seize the Arabian gulf oil fields, Israel, and the rest of the region— plus nuke USA. The Iranian dictators have been threatening and quite visibly preparing for years. The question is, why does the Biden regime continue to protect fund and enable these Islamonazi aggressors?

Extremely doubtful that intelligence like this would be made public knowledge.
