Israel describes Iran's 350-missile attack as a 'declaration of war' and vows more 'offensive and defensive action'
Daily Mail ^ | 4/14/24 | Arthur Parashar, Elena Salvoni, Emily Jane Davies

Israel has described Iran's unprecedented 350-missile attack as a 'declaration of war' and confirmed it has approved plans for 'offensive and defensive action'.

The country's president Isaac Herzog insisted that Israel did not want a war but suggested they would retaliate after Iran's audacious airstrike early on Sunday.

He said it was 'about time the world faces this empire of evil in Tehran' and makes it clear that its behaviour is 'unacceptable'.

President Herzog told Sky News: 'It's a declaration of war... we are considering all options and I'm quite confident we will take the necessary steps to protect and defend our people.'

Tehran had signalled that an attack was coming in retaliation for an airstrike on its diplomatic compound in Damascus, Syria, that killed two top Iranian generals earlier this month.

IDF Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari accused Iran of trying to 'ignite the Middle East and escalate the region' by firing 60 tonnes of suicide drones, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and rockets at Israel overnight - but insisted his army was on 'high alert'.

'Over the last two hours, we approved operational plans for both offensive and defensive action,' he told reporters on Sunday. 'We will continue to protect the State of Israel, and together with our partners, we will continue to build a more secure and stable future for the entire Middle East.'

The IDF spokesman said Iran's plan had 'failed' - as he praised the response from the 'regional alliance' which helped down '99 per cent' of the missiles fired. He did not elaborate on the approved plans, but it came after a meeting of Israel's war cabinet.

Leaders of the G7 - including UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak - also held talks on Sunday in which they 'unequivocally' condemned Iran's attack on Israel and warned...

1st generation parody derivative of Beach Boys “Barbara Ann” rhyming with the original helps. But as that name isn’t in the derivatives and the beat of its music works with either Iran or Iraq the second works well too. Mullahs significantly offended us before Saddam did, so that historical precedence is more likely to have made “Iran” first.

Yup.

It was a declaration of war. That kind of barrage was not simple retaliation for an alleged embassy strike. It’s intent was to obliterate.

Of which they are hypocritically guilty of engaging in in their past, so have no business whining about how embassies are sacred, hands off territory.

**When did US ever fight Israeli’s wars.?**

Last night:

“The US military said it destroyed 80 attack drones and at least six ballistic missiles that were fired from Iran and Yemen. The statement comes after president Joe Biden warned Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US will not take part in a counter-offensive against Iran.”

Of course. They’ll wake Joe up to give the go ahead to a waiting Benjamin Netanyahu to relay it to the IDF.

“Nobody f-—s with a Biden.”—Joe Biden.

True. When a local superstation radio commenter in September, 2001 was told of plans by Bush to mobilize against Iraq and Afghanistan after 911 he said “What does Bin Laden care? He’s from Saudi Arabia.” Others tried to get him to shut up. He was right, though.

You touch on the folks in Iran who are not happy with the
current leadership. I’m not fully convinced that makes
them our friends, but I do believe some of the Shah’s old
followers and their children remember how much better off
they all were during that period.

Calls for leveling Iran don’t sit well with me. I don’t
like the idea of killing folks who might just want to have
a better relationship with the U. S., as they used to.

I’ve worked with former Iranians, and the ones I came
into contact with were both Christians, and very
Westernized.

Ezekiel 38 is coming. You can count on it. It is written in the Word of God.


SAVED FOR REPOSTING


Ezekiel 38 is going to happen one of these days. Prophesied about 2,600 years ago. It’s for the Latter Days (v. 16) and the Latter Years (v. 8) (KJV).

Ezekiel 38 KJV:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zuYCM0g2kc

Ezekiel 38 King James Version (KJV)

1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:

11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:

16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

17 Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?

18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face.

19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.

22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.

[The country’s president Isaac Herzog]

That’s weird. Went to the post office in another city to mail my state tax return - hopefully Federal in the morning.

ANYWAYS, as I was putting on the last stamp on the envelope, I heard the distinct metallic rattle of a freight train and had to think for a bit - oh yeah tracks run parallel to a main road just a quarter-mile down where the road in front of the post office T-bones into the main road.

So I’m watching the train go by before I right turn on red and the railroad cars going past me.....

I know I saw at least 5 in a row and I thought wonder what company that was.

Well, just a weird coincidence or whatever. That was about 4-5 hours ago.

Why don’t they kill the Iranian leaders and destroy their navy and air force. They have nothing to lose as Iran will use nuclear weapons on them if they get the nuclear bombs that obama and biden are financing.

They need to finish in Gaza. Rather than escalating to additional opponents in different theatres.

We’re not at war with them

We did instigate a coup against Iran's leadership in 1953.
