“If they (the Israelis) make a revision in their behavior, accept a ceasefire and stop killing the oppressed and innocent people of the region, it could have an effect on the type and intensity of our response,” Pezeshkian said

Their ideology doesn't allow them to do that.

My guess is that Netanyahoo agreed to hold off on any further provocations until after the election so as not to further impair the Biden/Harris brand, but he fully intends to resume once voting has been closed. As such, Iran is anticipating another attack of some sort, which could be something surprising this time; for example an EMP device. The bluster coming from Iran is intended to blunt that initiative by assuring Israel that their next missile attack will really hurt. Likely to take out some major infrastructure facilities and intelligence headquarters. The Deep State desperately needs a major war to mask the coming financial debacle and the best time to initiate that is during the interregnum between election day and the inauguration, when Biden's handlers will have free reign.

As for the B-52s, that's an obvious bluff. Those albatrosses in the Gulf wouldn't get off the ground if things really go hot.

How I long for a country that actually cares about its own citizens.

As they say, ‘diversity plus proximity equals war’. Or, ANYTHING BUT a high-trust society with a simpatico government. Instead there are governments at odds with the people, and simpatico with veritable invaders. Here there is double trouble - problems between government and people and between people and invaders. Multiculturalism minus total assimilation equals a disaster.

Yep, I watched those 2 B-52s and the Antonov just a little earlier. The Swedes & Italians are stepping up the presence of their intel gathering planes over Poland and Romania too; I'm assuming that is because we're moving the the usual drone/Poseidon P8A assets from those areas to the middle east. It seems like we're just building a giant tinder box and its just a matter of who lights a match first. Its really getting scary.

Agreed. Although it also illustrates how limited our ability to fight all the scrapes the Neocons have gotten us into really is. NATO assets don't deter the Russians when the US has pulled so much and sent it to the ME.
