Scramble Underway To Prepare For Looming Iranian Retribution Strike On Israel

A potential Iranian attack could be larger in scope and more complex, including deeper use of multiple proxies, than what Israel experienced in April.

Despite international pressure, there appears to be no stopping an expected attack by Iran and its proxies on Israel that could come within hours. Iran has promised to retaliate against Israel for the assassination in Tehran last week of Ismail Haniyeh, the top political leader of Hamas. Facing a potentially massive missile and drone barrage that could cause a large number of casualties, Israel meanwhile is mulling over the idea of a preemptive strike against Iran, according to the Times of Israel (ToI), although exactly what such a move would accomplish remains very murky at best. The deterrent value of even floating such an idea may carry some weight though.

Israel “would consider launching a preemptive strike to deter Iran if it uncovered airtight evidence that Tehran was preparing to mount an attack, Hebrew media reported after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened Israel’s security chiefs for a meeting on Sunday evening,” according to ToI. “Jerusalem would require its own intelligence on the issue to match up with US intelligence on the matter,” the publication reported, “and even if it did match, it may still choose to avoid going down the route of a preemptive strike.”

How much Israel could accomplish in a quickly-launched pre-emptive attack is highly questionable given how widely Iran has disbursed its missile and drone launching capabilities, especially at this time, including in deeply hardened installations and on trucks.

I wonder if part of their strategy would be to hit US here for our support of Israel.

That would be channeled via illegals coming across the border.

Probably going after an embassy or something they think might be a soft target.

I don’t think there are many ‘soft’ Israeli targets, though.

Something unexpected?
An American?
Another attempt on Trump?
Trump’s family?
Biden?
Kamala?
The Olympics? (Black September in ‘72)

Could be anybody, anywhere or any thing.

Maybe their efforts will be frustrated.
If they actually succeed in hitting somebody or some thing, I fully expect the Israelis to hit back again.
And again.

Iran should do something creative—but they are not that smart. They will do another rocket attack with 99% shot down. All will go back to the way it was.

Agree. No telling how many sleeper cells are here waiting for the go signal.
