For years, decades in fact, the American public has been told that one day there would be war with Iran.
The story will go away for a while just to pop up again a short time later. There seems to be no end to the threats lobbed back and forth between Israel and Iran. The major difference is that Israel has the capability to wipe Iran off the map and does not threaten to do so, while Iran lacks the capability (although the appear to be getting closer each day) and loves to threaten the annihilation of the Jewish State.
Now, after all these skirmishes that we have been reading about between US forces and Iranian proxies in the Middle East, Israel has made a huge announcement:
American Military News is reporting:
‘In his first sit-down interview with an American news outlet, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Friday that Israel has updated its target list and is preparing to strike Iranian nuclear sites if the world does not act to stop Iran’s nuclear development.
Speaking with Fox News reporter Trey Yingst, Gantz said Israel has found numerous targets in Iran that would slow its nuclear development if attacked.
“If the world stops them before, it’s very much good,” Gantz said. “But if not, we must stand independently and we must defend ourselves by ourselves.”
Yingst tweeted a segment of their interview, in which Gantz said Israel has identified thousands of rocket sites targets along the Israeli border with Lebanon, including many that are in civilian areas.

“This is a target map. Each one of them has been checked legally, operationally, intelligence-wise and we are ready to fight,” Gantz said, showing Yingst a map of potential targets in Lebanon.
Gantz’s comments come as Iran has increasingly breached the terms of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). In January, Iran said it had enriched 17 kilograms of uranium to 20 percent purity, up from 3.67 percent permitted under the deal.’
Yes, we have heard this rhetoric before, however, now that Biden is in office and is yet to even call Israeli PM Netanyahu, instead pawning the task off to Kamala, nearly 2 months into ‘his’ administration, Israel likely feels much more isolated.
This, combined with Kerry and Biden’s love of Iran, Iran’s increase in nuclear fuel and its enrichment, could easily lead to Israel finally neutralizing Iran. This would make the alliances and peace deals that Trump brokers that much more important in ensuring stability in the region following a strike …
