I keep wondering what has changed in the Mid East very recently that makes Iran think they can get away with this now? Is it belief GOP will win in 2024? Or does Iran finally have nukes? Or is just an Iranian belief that due to the protests over the Judiciary in Israel, the time is ripe to take advantage of Israeli discord? I just have dread over what comes next for Israel...
Three years of Joe Biden. Say what you will about Obama but at least he killed Osama bin Laden and he backed the rebels in Libya which ended up having Qadaffi killed.
Now Iran feels like no one can stop them.
They had to do it before Trump is back in office.
End times grade, Satanic deception.
It certainly looks like things are falling into place for an end times scenario, and part of that is people falling for deception. Heck, even Satan wars against God apparently in the continuing belief that he can win against Him.
Biden, who’s days are numbered.
I have dread for Israel. For us. Maybe for the whole dang world.
Answer “A” to you 1st question is an extremely weak, senile US President with a continued record of weakness whenever a Dem is in charge (since Kennedy), and general disarray in the US where even the Pubbies in the US House can’t get their act together.
“B” is the continuation of the process that brought forth the Abraham Accords, with a 3-way deal between Saudi, Israel, and the US developing. This is badly needed to counter Iran’s growing influence in the region, and the likelyhood Iran will, sooner or later, have nukes. The Saudis, even with their enormous defense spending after GW2, were unable to put down the Houthis, so they know they are vulnerable to Iran and Iranian backed groups, especially if Iran can do credible nuclear sabre-rattling — much as we’ve seen from Russia. So, the Saudis want a defense pact with the US, and possibly even with Israel, to rebalance things. Possibly Saudi would buy Iron Dome missile defenses and other technology (including industrial) from Israel. The US gets cheaper oil.
The whole thing does make sense, although isolationist FReepers would have a fit at the idea of the US in a formal defense pact with Saudi. Iran would be facing a more cohesive Israel / Saudi / US bloc.
Given this (Biden) administration’s other attempts to buddy up to Iran, one might conclude Blinken & Co. are schizo. Well, that would explain some things...
For its part, an Israel / Saudi / Israel alliance would be anathema to Iran. So, blowing that up in the manner we are seeing would be to their advantage. They may have miscalculated though, by not realizing just how savage Hamas would be, and the degree of damage Hamas did likely seemed beyond Iran’s best hopes. They’ve put Israel into “survival mode”, which historically never ends well for Israel’s opponents.

This is ALL PLANNED!
I cannot say it enough, IT IS ALL PLANNED.
