Iran expected to attack Israel as early as Monday, US officials arrive in Middle East - report
The Jerusalem Post ^ | AUGUST 4, 2024

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said on Saturday that revenge will be “severe and at an appropriate time, place, and manner,” blaming the “terrorist Zionist regime” for Haniyeh’s death. The Iranian attack on Israel in response to the assassination of Hamas political bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran last week is expected to come as early as Monday, three US and Israeli officials told Axios reporter Barak Ravid on Sunday.

Michael Erik Kurilla, commander of US Central Command, arrived in the Middle East early Sunday morning amid Hezbollah and Iran's threats against Israel, Walla reported on Sunday, citing two senior US officials.

The aim of the visit, which was planned before the current escalation, is to prepare a coalition to counter such threats, the report added.

Israel on high alert at Iran threatens revenge Several Iranian officials vowed that the country would avenge Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination, as Israel remains on high alert for a potential attack and the United States is sending additional forces to the region.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said on Saturday that revenge will be “severe and at an appropriate time, place, and manner,” blaming the “terrorist Zionist regime” for Haniyeh’s death.

In addition, the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations told CBS News in an exclusive on Friday that Hezbollah would begin deliberately targeting Israeli civilians – claiming that it had not done so until now.

Seems a bit odd that an American General is in Israel right now.

>> Sure glad we have a strong US President with an astute sense of reason during a crisis such as this...

Remind me — what’s our real president’s name? Hussein Obama? He is the change we’ve been waiting for...?

>> #BREAKING: @CENTCOM US Commander Michael Erik Kurilla has landed in Israel

The only important question: is he gay or trans or a member of a marginalized group?

>> Harris is the definition of stupid.

But oh my goodness, how she sucks! Willie the Big Black Dick can confirm.

Remember, this is the New DemonRat party. By their own definition, the executive over America is not a voter-chosen individual, but rather an already-in-place “team”. (Or “cabal”.) Continuity, right? The qualifications of the placeholder running for POTUS don’t matter so much, as long as they are pliable to the state.

Of course they say they will. There is no controlling (or sentient) legal authority here in the US at present. None.

I was wondering if most of the Muslim world really dislikes the Palestinians. You answered that for me. Thank you.

Iran, Turkey and Russia will attack Israel. Ezekiel 38. Maranatha.

Yes they will. We just don’t know exactly when.

they might shoot some rockets at Israel, and Israel will simply shoot them all down again.

End of story.
