Iranian Attack Expected on Israel in Next Two Days
The Wall Street Journal ^ | april 11, 2024 | Dov Lieber

Israel is preparing for a direct attack from Iran on southern or northern Israel as soon as the next 24 to 48 hours, according to a person familiar with the matter. A person briefed by the Iranian leadership, however, said that while plans to attack are being discussed, no final decision has been made.

Iran has publicly threatened to retaliate for an attack last week in Damascus, Syria, that Tehran said was an Israeli airstrike on a diplomatic building. The strike killed top Iranian military officials, including a senior member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds Force.

Earlier this week, U.S. intelligence reports showed that an attack on Israeli assets by Iran or its proxies could be imminent, but a source says it now appears that the attack could be within Israel’s borders.

A U.S. official with knowledge of the matter said Thursday that American intelligence reports indicate an Iranian retaliatory strike within days, “possibly on Israeli soil” as opposed to Israeli interests elsewhere.

*** Earlier this week, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard contacted the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with several options to strike Israeli interests, said an adviser to the paramilitary force. The scenarios under consideration include a direct attack on Israel with sophisticated medium-range missiles, he said.

In recent hours, social-media accounts close to the Revolutionary Guard have posted videos showing simulated missile attacks on Israel’s Haifa airport and its nuclear facility in Dimona. An Iranian official has also previously said Iran would strike at Israel’s power and desalination plants if attacked.

Iran is already at war with Israel as it was responsible for funding and training Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. This will simply provide Israel with an opportunity to do what should have been done on October 8, which is to cut off the head of the snake. No wonder the Ayatollah is hesitant. They are all cowards.

I think it was 7 days ago

Because it seems like it was last weekend

Nevertheless, one day Ezekiel 38 will come

Iran WILL lose very, very, very badly.

It is so prophesied in the Word of God.

We can thank Jimmy Carter for today’s Iran.

Its tough when you have a religion that tells you although you’re “devout”, if you are wiped out, its Allahs will you’re wiped out...

If we figured this out without FISA being passed I guess we don’t need that then.

Exactly, Iran has been attacking Israel via proxy for decades on end-leaving me wondering what is special about the next two days?

“Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds Force”

I don’t know who coined the Qud Force as “Elite” But I suspect Isreal would go through them like a hot knife through butter. I think we would see very quickly how many of the “elite” want to die for the Mullahas.

Is Iran Russia’s proxy or the other way around.
Seems Iran is doing okay, and Russia needs Iran’s help
Master strategist

The telling point will be if Iran attacks and Biden calls for a cease fire.

I saw a report that Winken Blinken and Nod was begging the chicoms to stop Iran from doing this.

I would think that Israel saying “we know where your nuclear sites are” would give PAUSE to Irab’s innate desire to KILL and DESTROY, WHICH IS THEIR WAY OF LIFE.

WHAT A ROTTEN CULTURE AND COUNTRY. kILL, KILL, KILL...NEVER WE SHOULD ALL LIVE AND LET LIVE.

Hamas = Iran = Russia.

All of this crap is connected.

Iran likely has the nuclear tech they needed from Russia/NORKs.

This could go very badly for a lot of people.

I doubt Iran attacks Israel directly. If they do Israel will retaliate much harder, hopefully nuclear and end this shxt.
