Great piece...

 

The long-feared Middle East war is here. 

This is how Israel could now hit back at Iran


"When Iran fired more than 180 ballistic missiles at Israel this week in retaliation for the Israeli assassinations of the Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, some were surprised by Tehran’s forceful response."

(What could possibly make them feel so emboldened?

Come explain it to me.

)



"A regional war is already here

A regional war is no longer imminent – it is here. The conflict that began in Gaza nearly a year ago has expanded across the Middle East, with Israel fighting countries and groups far from its borders. It also has global implications.


As this week’s Iranian strike demonstrates, the conflict has become a direct confrontation between Israel and its Western allies on one side, and Iran and its proxies, backed by Russia and China, on the other.

"Washington has played a key role in supplying Israel with military aid and diplomatic cover, while Moscow has pledged to send Iran fighter jets and air defence technology. It is also purchasing Iranian weapons for its own war in Ukraine, providing Tehran with much-needed cash.

"Moreover, Israel is currently engaged on multiple fronts."

(Luke 21:20-28

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Where is your other book?)

"First, its war continues in Gaza, where more than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed. Hamas has been reduced to a low-functioning guerrilla organisation but still retains some control over the displaced Palestinian population.

In the West Bank, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are conducting military operations to counter a rise in terrorist attacks, fuelled by Iranian weapons and funds directed to local militants.

Meanwhile, Iran’s other proxy groups, the Shi’a militias in Iraq and Syria and Houthi rebels in Yemen, are still launching missile and drone attacks against Israel. Both Israel and the US have struck back at the Houthis in Yemen."

"The most significant battle, however, is in Lebanon..."

(Been telling ya if you are going after Iran?
Hezbollah has to be dealt with first.

ITS HERE.)

"Israel’s options for striking back

And now, Iran has become directly involved in the fighting with its launching of ballistic missiles at Israel this week, allegedly targeting military bases. Israel’s advanced anti-missile defence systems, assisted by the US, Jordan and other nations, intercepted most of the projectiles. A few landed inside Israel, with shrapnel killing one Palestinian in the West Bank.

It was the second direct attack by Iran against Israel in recent months. The first resulted in a limited Israeli retaliation on an Iranian air defence system allegedly protecting a nuclear facility in Isfahan."



"Iranian leaders may now fear Israel and the US could seize the opportunity to severely damage its nuclear infrastructure, as has long been urged by some conservative voices in both countries."

(As demonstrated, its the reason for everything that is taking place.)


"A narrow window for Israel

In an attempt to de-escalate tensions, Iranian officials hastily declared their desire to end hostilities following the missile attack.

However, the conflict has come full circle. Hamas believed Israel would collapse after its October 7 2023 attack. However, instead, Israel responded with a devastating war on Gaza, dismantling much of Hamas’ capabilities but also causing widespread casualties and destruction.

Similarly, the decisions by Hezbollah and Iran to strike Israel have proved to be grave miscalculations, underestimating Israel’s determination to retaliate with overwhelming impact.

The ball is now in Israel’s court. While any retaliation must take account of the fact the IDF are already stretched thin across multiple fronts, Iran’s “axis of resistance” has also never appeared more vulnerable.

Israel has a narrow window to inflict a major blow against it – and Netanyahu is unlikely to let this moment pass."

(Its how you know what's coming, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to dismantle/destroy Irans nuclear program and they simply will not let it pass.

One of the big questions becomes:

Who else is gonna join in on Irans side when the time comes?

And? 
How much damage can the US and Israel do to Irans nuclear program?

and how does the overwhelming of the Israel air defenses and what happens afterwards etc etc etc...

In any event?

THE STATUS QUO

FOR THE REGION

AND THE WORLD

SIMPLY 

IS NO MORE.

If only there was a book that explains it.

Remember when you just wanted Covid to be over so you could get back  to normal?

Well?
Welcome to it.
