US Forces on High Alert, Preparing for 'Significant' Attack in Middle East by Iran on US, Israeli Assets
Red State ^ | 04/05/2024 | Ward Clark

American forces have been placed on "high alert" as of Friday, in anticipation of a possible attack by Iranian forces on either U.S. or Israeli assets in the Middle East. The attack, if it happens, is expected to come as soon as next week.

Senior US officials currently believe that an attack by Iran is “inevitable” – a view shared by their Israeli counterparts, that official said. The two governments are furiously working to get in position ahead of what is to come, as they anticipate that Iran’s attack could unfold in a number of different ways – and that both US and Israeli assets and personnel are at risk of being targeted.

A forthcoming Iranian attack was a major topic of discussion on President Joe Biden’s phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday.

The attack is expected to be in retaliation for the killing of several Iranian officials in an Israeli air attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1st. The Biden administration reportedly notified Iran that the U.S. had no part in the attacks; they appear to be trying to deflect Iranian efforts away from American forces and installations.

The US was quick to inform Iran that the Biden administration was not involved and had no advance knowledge of Monday’s strike on the embassy and has warned Iran against coming after American assets.

“The United States had no involvement in the strike and we did not know about it ahead of time,” a National Security Council spokesperson told CNN earlier this week.

Earlier Friday, a statement from the United Nations took a distinctly anti-Israel tone.

If Iran attacks, we should destroy their leadership, and help the people revolt.

But of course, the Obama/Biden Regime is lovey-dovey with Iran.

I would not be surprised to find out that not a single extra piece of air defense equipment has been shipped to the ME for US forces. I’m sure the Obamite cowards in the “Biden” regime think it would be too “provocative.”

The question is whether the situation is serious enough for us to take a break from trying to overthrow the duly elected government of our ally, and force them to lose a war they should win

Yeah, so what are the ROE?

Call home and wait for instructions?

Wasn’t there a movie about Clintoon letting OSBL get away?
And of course PIAPS letting the Benghazi troops get killed.

History would indicate a VERY high probability that Iran will not attack directly, but will do so through its proxies.

If that happens and we are hit, go for the jugular and knock out Iran’s refineries and any refined product import facilities.

Disabling Khark Island would cut off Iran’s oil income. Tomahawk a few mullahs and generals and civilized Iranians will take care of the rest.

Israel should take their every Hamas /Islamic Jihad captive they have taken and execute them.
No mercy, no remainders.
Let that be the message

Iran is more likely to attack American targets because they know Genocide Joe won’t retaliate.

Blah, blah, blah. How many times has Israel killed nuclear scientists on Iranian soil? What has Iran ever done about it. They only fight proxy wars thru Hamas and Hezbollah. The IDF is wiping Hamas out now.

What happens if the attack is not in the middle east, supposed some Iranian terrorist who came up thru our open border along with a bunch of other Iranian terrorists, decided to attack a Jewish Synagogue in NYC or somewhere else in the country and kills a bunch of Jewish children.

That way you accomplish two things at once, you attack the USA inside the country and kill a bunch of Jews at the same time.
