Scoop: Iran warns U.S. to stay out of fight with Israel or face attack on troops
Axios ^ | 4/12/2024 | Barak Ravid

Posted on 04/12/2024 8:55:29 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Iran sent a message to the Biden administration through several Arab countries earlier this week: if the U.S. gets involved in the fighting between Israel and Iran, U.S. forces in the region will be attacked, three U.S. officials told Axios.

Why it matters:

The U.S. and Israel are preparing for Iran to retaliate against Israel for an airstrike that killed a top Iranian general in Damascus last week.

The Iranian supreme leader has threatened "punishment" for Israel but through private channels Iran has signaled it would be limited.

Israel and the U.S. think an Iranian attack would include the launch of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and attack drones from Iran to Israeli territory.

U.S. officials say the Biden administration asked Israel to notify the U.S. and for the U.S. to have a say before decisions are made about any retaliation by Israel.

If Israel is attacked massively and suffers serious losses that weaken it, does that help or hurt the US in our future MidEast dealings?

Well, yes. But that would just make Israel transition to the WHOLE TOOL CHEST of offense. Israel is a country for which the Samson Option isn’t fiction.

Biden certainly has a say about what he is going to do. Only God has a say in what Samson is going to do.

That would depend on perspective. I would say it would be worse because our government loves war, especially in non white shitholes.

If Israel was seriously harmed, I don’t know how far they would go.
Potentially nuclear? Maybe.

Israel isn’t a viable country without US support.
They wanted their Zionist country, they got it.
I don’t want any part of it.

Who is attacking the US ships?

The dog that barks the loudest is the one that is not likely to bite.

If they had squat to do, they would’ve done it and not be talking about it.

How ironic you post that comment considering the number one reason the election was stolen from Trump was because of his refusal to start a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine.

Putin started the war because he wants the Soviet Union back. Putin did not start the war under Trump because Trump personally told Putin if he attacked Ukraine "there will be hell to pay." Putin waited until Trump was gone.

This is reality. Your constant falsehoods are just as false as when you first uttered them.

Wrong.

We fomented an illegal coup in Ukraine, installed a puppet government hostile to the ethnic Russian population in Ukraine and to Moscow, armed, funded and trained a 600,000 man Ukrainian army, teased NATO membership for Ukraine and were running biolabs with deadly pathogens in them.

If China or Russia had done anything like that in Mexico, WE WOULD HAVE INVADED, JUSTIFIABLY SO.

The Russians have far better reason to be in Ukraine than we did in either Iraq war.

At every turn, the Russia tried to prevent this war with Minsk Accords, by coming to us with their security concernes in 12/21 and in Turkey in March of 2022 where peace deal was killed by Boris Johnson.

You're presenting a false narrative that is nothing but propaganda and it has us closer to a hot war with Russia, nuclear war and WW III than we were during the Cold War.
