This is the most dangerous moment that we have seen in the Middle East in modern times. As you will see below, Israel has decided to hit Iran. There is still debate about whether it should be a devastating blow or a more limited strike. But in either case, the Iranians are pledging to retaliate. In fact, the Iranians are promising to respond to any attack with overwhelming force. Needless to say, that would certainly provoke another response from Israel. The cycle would continue until someone finally decides that enough is enough. But what if neither side backs down and the conflict escalates to an unthinkable level?
According to the Times of Israel, Channel 12 is reporting that the Israeli government has decided to hit Iran “clearly and forcefully”…
Of course that isn’t the only outlet that is indicating that a decision has already been made.
According to Axios, Yoav Gallant has told Lloyd Austin that Israel feels that it must respond to Iran’s attack on Saturday…
Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant told Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Sunday that Israel has no choice but to respond to the unprecedented missile and drone attack launched by Iran over the weekend, a U.S. official and another source briefed on the call told Axios.
And on Monday, Herzi Halevi publicly stated that Iran’s attack “will be met with a response”…

I think it could be a good time to overthrow the Iranian government.
Agree, but I am not sure that is going to happen.
Can’t retaliate if you’ve nothing to retaliate with.
Yeah that would be a shame! /s
If this keeps up it’ll be easy to identify Iranians, ... they’ll glow in the dark.
Unlike their chums, hamas and hezbollah (and the houties), the Iraniacs don’t protect their military/industrial assets with civilians.
It wouldn’t take extensive effort for Israel to destroy their bases, ports, nuclear plants, refineries, and critical infrastructure.
It’d be a learning opportunity for the axis of evil.
if Israel isn’t biding its time until POTUS Trump, i don’t know what.
They’re going to retaliate, oh well, didn’t think of that.
Gee we better call this off then.
Note to the Islamofascists in Iran - the deceased seldom retaliate.
And that’s what the CIA brags it can do.
While it wastes time on intercepting Google searches and reading emails of Deplorables in the US.
Small portion of the meeting with “Mister X” on the steps in the Oliver Stone film JFK: (Donald Sutherland talking)
I was one of those secret
guys in the Pentagon that supplies
the military hardware - the planes,
bullets, rifles - for what we call
“black operations” - “black ops”,
assassinations, coup d’etats, rigging
elections, propoganda, psych warfare
and so forth. World War II - Rumania,
Greece, Yugoslavia, I helped take
the Nazi intelligence apparatus out
to help us fight the Communists.
Italy ‘48 stealing elections, France
‘49 breaking strikes - we overthrew
Quirino in the Philippines, Arbenz
in Guatemala, Mossadegh in Iran.
Vietnam in ‘54, Indonesia ‘58, Tibet
‘59 we got the Dalai Lama out - we
were good, very good. Then we got
into the Cuban thing. Not so good.
Set up all the bases for the invasion
supposed to take place in October
‘62. Khrushchev sent the missiles
to resist the invasion, Kennedy
refused to invade.
Neither country liked the words of Jesus, about turning the other cheek.
Short of nuclear war, it would be a huge effort for ANY nation to destroy all, or even a fraction of Iran's "bases, ports, nuclear plants, refineries and critical infrastructure".
Israel's strike won't be all out war, but a message that Iran's attack won't go unanswered. It will be narrow, and on a military target, with limited casualties. I suspect one of the lessons learned will be that Iran's defenses are nothing like Israel's.
Whether Israel retaliates or not has no bearing on Iran attacking Israel again.
They will. Count on it.
Israel doesn’t need to destroy ALL of Iran’s aforementioned sites. Just enough to severely cripple them.
Definitely the nuclear program, and whatever it takes to take out as many mullahs and the brains behind the terror attacks as possible.
Neither country believes in Jesus or claims to be Christian.
Besides, turning the other cheek is about being insulted, not physically harmed.
Jesus directions to believers most certainly cannot be applied to nations.
No nation would last a year if applied.
It is a great error to apply life instructions from Jesus or scripture to nations. Nations exist to defend, protect, and bless their people - and people of other nations as well....
Israel must take out all of Iran’s Nuclear facilities which would make Iran harmless............
Enough talk from both sides!
Let’s see some action!
Well, it does include being physically harmed, but only on a personal level. It doesn't go for whole nations, who have an obligation and a right to defend their citizens, and of self-preservation and the defense of innocents, just like individual persons do.
