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

Posted on 08/04/2024 8:45:44 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

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.

WE have heard this all before—”The Mother of All Battles” is coming! Its all just hype. Yes, Iran will send a few rockets and Iron dome will shoot them all down. That will be that. More spicy talk—No nukes, maybe some more rock throwing and civilians killed on both sides. The war will simmer on. The big war may come before the election—Just not today! WW III is on hold.

The SAU - ISR peace treaty a few years ago permitted Israel to be part of the CENTCOM AOR.

Iran is part of the CENTCOM AOR but as of yet not a partner.

It’s all about Big Peace and Prosperity. Petty squabbling and fighting are disruptive to commerce and national development

Iran currently lives under the boot of an Islamic dictatorship. There’s a lot of unrest internally as they’ve continued to tighten the screws on a populace that enjoyed a lot of freedom and prosperity under the Shah. The clergy that run Iran are like all dictators in that they must have external threats and enemies (real and imagined) in order to delude the populace into allowing the continuing loss of freedom. I believe Iran is at an inflection point where a miscalculation on the part of the ayatollahs could and will have calamitous results.

What’s the answer to peace in the Middle East? Stop attacking Israel.

Iran has no justification for attacking Israel.

There is no proof that Israel did anything to justify direct assault from Iran.

It is apparent that Iranians planted the bomb that exterminated the terrorist Hamas leader.

The ruling Mullahs will get overthrown by the populace. Or they'll eventually moderate over time because the younger generation is not as fundamentalist.

Harris is the definition of stupid.

Having a stupid manager is a wonderful thing. If they have a low self image is a considerable bonus because they are that much more yielding to suggestion. The beauty is that a good subordinate can manipulate them brilliantly and when the shtf the manager takes the fall due to their ultimate responsibility. Look at biden. What a perfect example. Not only is he utterly unbelievable, if he did admit guilt he wouldn't get prosecuted because of his senility. Basically the dude is clinically insane. He was THEE perfect person to select as fall guy...I mean president...for the deep state to do its thing. Bless his @#%^*&$ heart...

Iran hates the Jews. How’s that for justification.

Hate is not justification under the present laws of war.

Iran is extremely cognizant of the laws of war and goes to extremes never to make war. Iran always, that is always, relies on surrogates to make war, and especially to make war in an illegal manner.

The Iranian surrogate Hamas is being exterminated to the last man, woman and child. That extermination is the reason for all of the current Iranian action

Osama Bin Laden said it...their goal was a complete ethnic cleansing. After expelling all non-Muslims from Muslim areas, it was onto purging ethnicities not of the Arabian Peninsula. That means the other 800 million Muslims had to die also. This is Nazi German in turbans. Iran is another useful idiot. Persians don’t measure up to the Muslim supremacists.

“Iran knows this and will calibrate their attack according to how much they want to get hit in return by Israel.”

perhaps they’ll launch another 500 drones with the hope that one or two might manage to cross an Israeli border? ... “Yeah, Jooz, that’ll learn you that we mean bizness!”
