Update On The Iran - Israel War 10/1/24

Right up front I want to recommend this 14 minute Danny Davis video:

Iran's Big Mistake? How Dearly Will They Pay?

Now, the “big mistake” bit is a quote of Netanyahu. He’s promising that Israel will strike back “severely.” The big point in DD’s short video is that this all looks like a setup—which we and many others have been saying for months. Israel has been desperately trying to elicit this type of response from Iran with more and more outrageous escalations, and finally got a response. However, DD points to reports that indicate pretty clearly that Israel was prepared to strike back before Iran ever struck, and has plans to strike at key infrastructure no matter how minor any Iranian response to Israel’s attacks might be. It wouldn’t matter if there were no casualties, if only military targets were hit—or not hit. The point was and is to get a major war going.

So, just a reminder. Some time ago I suggested that the Neocons in the Zhou regime, realizing they had lost badly to Russia in Ukraine, were seeking with Israel to open a new front against Russia via Iran. In other words, from the Neocon perspective an attack on Iran is an attack on Russia because Iran has become a key strategic partner in the BRICS movement. The fact that this could escalate into a closure of the Straits of Hormuz and a world wide crisis matters little to crazies like the Neocons. That remains a possibility, especially in light of the revelations today that Zhou has been green lighting Israel all the while he was calling for cease fires and so forth.

Obviously, Iran was pushed into this—and they realized that they were being pushed into this. They had come to the conclusion that they had no other option. That means that their threats to retaliate against US regional assets if the US cooperates in Israeli attacks on Iran. One must assume that Iran has been talking to its strategic partners, by which I mean Russia and China.

If DD is right, we can expect events to unfold quickly. Here are some updates.

First, Iran has confirmed what it’s targets were:

RF News @RFN3138 

Iranian Chief of Staff, Mohammad Bagheri:

Only military targets were hit in the operation.

Mossad headquarters, Nevatim Air Base, Hatzerim Air Base, strategic radars and centers for tanks and soldiers around Gaza.

Civilian, economic and industrial infrastructure was not targeted despite our ability to do so.

If the zionist regime which has gone insane, is not controlled. And continues its crimes and targets our national sovereignty, all of their infrastructure will be hit.

Pentagon Press Secretary:

• The U.S. military coordinated closely with the Israeli Forces to help defend Israel.

• Two destroyers, the USS Cole and USS Bulkeley, both deployed in the Eastern Med, fired a dozen interceptors at incoming Iranian ballistic missiles.

• At this time it is unknown if those interceptors took down any of the missiles.

Here’s an Iranian perspective, in response to Israeli threats:

Patarames @Pataramesh

Netanyahu needs something for his political survival:

➡️ That something may be an attack against Iran's nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan

With Air-Lora, air-launched aero-ballistic missiles he has the tools for Natanz and Isfahan.

But Fordow requires an Air-Lora with a tactical nuclear warhead to have a chance

If he does that;

➡️ Iran may destroy all air-bases from which the Israeli airforce could operate.

Iran proved to have the means to hit the air-bases, only the scale is questioned by some.

#BREAKING: Israeli PM Netanyahu:

"Iran made a big mistake tonight - and it will pay for it. The regime in Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and our determination to retaliate against our enemies. Sinwar and Deif did not understand this, Nasrallah x.com/itayblumental/…

Again, I have to believe, in all the circumstances, that Iran went into this with their eyes wide open because they saw no alternative.

 IRGC Official: 'If the United States helps Israel with an Attack on Iran, we will bomb American Bases in the region – and they are much less protected than Israel'.

Thomas Massie responding to Sullivan:

Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie

Work with Israel? Excuse me, the Constitution requires you to work with Congress!

“We have made clear that there will be consequences, severe consequences, for this <Iranian missile> attack <on Israel> and we will work with Israel to make that the case.”
