Iran’s Mullah Military (IRGC) has acknowledged sending scores of military drones in targeted attacks on Israel in response to Israel’s attack on Iranians in Syria. The game is on people, and escalation is the word that matters.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has issued a statement confirming its launch of an attack on Israel, saying it is in response to the IDF’s earlier strike on a consular compound in the Syrian capital of Damascus. The April 1 airstrike killed several high-ranking Iranian commanders, including Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, among several other IRGC members.
The IRGC said it will hit specific targets in Israel with dozens of drones and missiles, reported Iranian state media.
Iran is also alleged to have seized a container ship in the straight of Hormuz linked to Israel, and of course, we have some thoughts.
After years of doing whatever it could to help fund and encourage Iran to militarize nuclear capability, the Obama/Biden administration did an about-face in recent months and turned antagonistic. The saber-rattling leads us to believe they wanted an all-out conflict, which the targeting in Syria has escalated.
I would be shocked if Biden’s CIA isn’t deliberately making hay on both sides of this conflict.
With a ship seizure at Hormuz, we get the double-edged sword of international involvement. At least a few Gulf States object to Iran’s long-time pursuit of regional hegemony. Saudi Arabia, for example, prefers the title, while the emirates want to be able to move oil. If Hormuz is a battleground, is it in the interest of the Gulf States to pick a side and go to war if it comes to that?
Biden is heading for a beating in November if he is indeed at the top of the ticket, so distractions are to his advantage. Hormuz gives the US an excuse to escalate and respond, as do recent pronouncements of support for Israel (if for no other reason than to use them to advance other aims), but there are a lot of Democrats who don’t like Israel and won’t like that.
Iran and Russia are allies (Russia and China have expressed shared interests against the US). Russia will use that to its advantage in any conversation about Ukraine.
The Mullahs are unpopular in Iran, and this could be used as an excuse to pursue regime change. Still, Democrats have never expressed much interest in benefiting anyone but the Mullahs.
Democrats ranted about Trump starting WWIII, but Trump didn’t start any wars, while Biden has supported several military conflicts and is on the verge of a third (fourth?) that could find the entire region in turmoil if not – at least technically – the world (and several of the nations involved have nukes). Nice job, Joe.
Watch the corporate media. Whatever they do or say odds are good, it’s the opposite of the truth.
And yes, this just scratches the surface (one comment elsewhere noted that Iran and other anti-IS factions) have terrorists in our country (thanks to Joe!).
Update from a reader.
I personally think that Hamas and now Iran are lighting things up because of the prophesy associated with the Red Heifer. Hamas admitted as much.
This attack by Iran is intended to stop the Red Heifer sacrifice this weekend or next. This is when the appropriate prayer will be said on the Sabbath.
The Iranian’s are desperate to stop it!
