Following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, tensions in the Middle East have sharply escalated. Reports suggest that Iran, vowing revenge, might launch an attack on Israel tonight. Notably, Iranian television channels have shifted from regular programming to broadcasting military marches, signaling increased alertness.
President Pezeshkian granted war powers
Meanwhiel, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has granted war powers to President Mesoud Pezeshkian, reflecting the gravity of the situation. In response to the rising tensions, many countries have advised their citizens to leave Iran and Israel, and Iran has urged its citizens to urgently evacuate Israel.
The New York Times reported that three Iranian officials disclosed that Khamenei has ordered a direct attack on Israel as retaliation for Haniyeh’s killing. This has led to significant developments, including the cancellation of flights between Istanbul, Tehran, and Tel Aviv.
‘World will witness extraordinary scenes’
As the situation unfolds, Iranian TV has interrupted its normal broadcasts to play military anthems, with Channel 3 hinting at imminent significant events. “In coming hours, the world will witness extraordinary scenes and very important developments.,” the announcer said at one point on Iran’s Channel 3…
Pray that God has mercy on us. If this situation escalates, we are all in trouble. If you haven’t been to confession, go ASAP! I hope the Iranians are bluffing though I have a terrible feeling they are not. Libera nos Domine!
Israel’s official policy is to use nukes when they see fit. Like, they aren’t even pulling a “mutually assured destruction” tactic. I fear that if Iran follows through, then Israel launches a nuclear assault.
The current regime is tentative concerning support for the Zionist state, and even more tentative at starting anything with Iran. Would an attack on Israel prompt a kinetic response? Who knows. If Iran does attach Israel, I believe they do so because they don’t think Jill will do anything about it.
So, now it’s time to review what is happening.
Context: for 40 years Israel has wanted the US to go to war with Iran. In 2006, President Bush was going to announce an invasion of Iran and his general staff threatened to quit. So, he didn’t, sparing us hell on earth. And yet, the Jewish lobby, and the state of Israel has never stopped.
Also in 2006, Israel “left” Gaza and let the Palestinians rule themselves (not really). Hamas won election. Since then, Netanyahu has worked WITH Hamas, not against them. Why? They have the same goals: no peace. Hamas wants Israel wiped off the map, Netanyahu wants the Palestinians wiped off the map. So, Netanyahu allowed Hamas to take money from Qatar, to build tunnels, etc. All the while both entities couldn’t care less about the Palestinians living in a concentration camp.
Hamas was “allowed” to conduct 10/7 in order to give Israel the pretext to destroy the Palestinians once and for all. Hamas leadership is still alive, and not even in Gaza. Israel lost the operation in Gaza, but did manage to kill 60,000 innocent men, women, and children. Again, Hamas and Israel do not care about peace. They want war.
Iran was blamed for 10/7 despire ZERO evidence for it. Earlier this year, and against international law, Israel BLEW UP the Iranian embassy in Syria. They wanted to trigger Iran into full-fledged war. Iran responded with a massive missile bombardment, but with a catch: they told Israel where the missiles were going, allowing them to shoot them all down. The message from Iran was: we don’t want war, but if you push us we can and will respond.
Since then, Israel, having lost in Gaza and threatened with losing to Hezbollah, DOUBLED DOWN on the rhetoric, and sent Netanyahu to us 10 or so days ago so he could speak to his congress. And what the US dutifully sent 12 warships to join the carriers we already have there. Recently they killed a Hamas leader.
So, all along Israel has provoked and provoked. Turkey has said it will join the fight against Israel and now Iran is going to attack Israel. WHICH IS WHAT ISRAEL AND THE US NEOCONS AND JEW LOVERS WANT. Of course, Russia is an ally of Iran, so they will be involved.
Our friends the Jews have done nothing but lust for territory since it was given to them in the artificial state of Israel in 1948. They stole US uranium to build their nukes, and their lobbying group AIPAC has bought off our entire government. THey want to create Greater Israel, a land from the Euphrates to the sea, devoid of Palestinians.
They burnt through all the good will and empathy brought by the holocaust yet still use it. You cannot criticize them lest you be called an “anti semite”.
They are the biggest warmongers in the region. And now World War 3 is HOT in the Middle East.
I have always said there will not be an election in the fall. Not in the US. Some major calamity will cause an “emergency powers” situation.
Here we are.
Israel is an apartheid terror state that runs amok with US security guarantees. Netanyahu is an anti-Christ.
A year or so ago no one had heard of “Greater Israel.” Now we are beginning to hear it a bit more. This is going to pick up speed and we are going to hear it a lot. Not the same material of course as “transgenderism” or “Karen” but the same mechanism at work with an underlying purpose. The earliest print mention of “transgenderism” I looked for and found was in a 2018 (I think it was) issue of American Journal of Nursing. “Karen” started off as “Kathy” maybe what? six or seven years ago? but “Kathy” didn’t catch on. This is an instrument and it may be interesting to watch it developing in real time.
Mike,
If what you say about the Jews were true, there would be no Palestinian State. There would be no Gaza Strip carved out along its shoreline. It would be bigger than a mere 260 x 70 miles is size, equivalent to the State of NJ. Muslims serve in its government. Israel remains a tiny little nation of freedom in a sea of Islamic tyranny. It has not expanded in size in 75 years, rather it has shrunk.
So what you say about “Jewish lust for territory” is not true. That describes instead the Muslim nations that have Israel surrounded, and wish to take from them what little they have and to which they have claim for 3,500 years, and who boldly commit to killing every Jew that they can.
Hatred of Jews, given their actual tenuous condition and objective desire for peaceful coexistence with neighbors committed to killing and taking from them is incomprehensible by logic and facts.
It is no secret that Mossad and Netanyahu poured millions of dollars of resources into Hamas. They preferred a “militant Islamic group” to be the face of Palestinian resistance, as opposed to the PLO. Their logic was that the PLO would, because it was secular and not JUST comprised of Muhammadans, but appeal to Sephardic Jews and Christians, and thus offer international appeal.
Netanyahu is a militant Zionist. His defense secretary, Ben Guiron, is linked with a terrorist group whose aim is the absolute genocide of non-Ashkenazi people in the Holy Land, even so far as the destruction of the Dome of the Rock.
The Jews in Israel are not all of the same mind as Netanyahu. Not all want war, not all want to eliminate Palestine. Thus, Netanyahu needed something to galvanize Jews around a Zionist state. What better than a “surprise attack” by Hamas? Now, with all the terrible deeds Hamas supposedly did, won’t all the Jews be behind their leader in eradicating the dangerous Palestinian people?
Ben-Gvir, you mean. The man who kept a shrine in his home to Baruch Goldstein… the way a normal person would venerate a saint or the Blessed Mother in their home.
For those who don’t know, in 1994, Brooklyn-born Baruch Goldstein put on his IDF uniform, walked into a Hebron mosque during Ramadan, and opened fire. He hit 154 people, killing 29 of them.
And Itamar Ben-Gvir — leader of the Yehudit Party and Minister of National Security (their SecDef) — venerates the cold-blooded mass murderer in his home.
Sit in stillness with that.
It’s amazing to me how much detailed insider info about Jews is available from commenters on this blog.
There’s nothing remotely “insider” about the story of the Baruch Goldstein massacre, or Ben-Gvir’s professed admiration of the mass-murderer. Both stories were reported on. Ben-Gvir had to answer questions about it publicly (he didn’t deny it or apologize for it).
Just because you didn’t know it doesn’t make it insider intel.
Sure CJ,
Everyone is talking about Baruch Goldstein and Ben Gvir.
Except me.
Everyone else, though.
Yeah, because that’s exactly what I said.
Not sure how you got to this site, but there is is thingy called the “internet” and “google.” Lot’s of interesting stuff, you should try it sometime.
CJ,
Sorry but I was just kidding. Very few except those commenting here know who Baruch and Ben are, or whatever it was they did. I guarantee you I don’t care, beyond a generic sadness for the violence and loss of life … along with the rest of the violence of this sinful world that needs repentance and conversion.
The fact that you not only don’t care that this genocidal Ashkenazi supremacist is the Israeli defense secretary, but continue to call the Zionist state an objective “good”, tells me there’s no point in continuing with this exchange.
I wrote earlier that I thought that some day you would see the reality of the situation, but I thought you were a younger man at the time I wrote that. I was mistaken. If you’re still a Zionist at this stage of the game, with the all information that’s readily available to you, then a Zionist you will remain.
Further discussion is destined to be fruitless. You may have the last word.
Yes the goal was to weaken the PLO, eliminate any chance for a 2 state solution.
Aqua, There IS no Palestinian state, what are you talking about?
The Jews have been wanting the US to expand its territory for years. They’ve been wanting us to war with Iran for years. We’ve been fighting in the Middle East for them.
I don’t hate Jews. I hate Israel, which is a fake Jewish state designed by European Jews that was imposed on people living there for thousands of years.
Ashkenazi Jews are European Jews. There is zero connection to the Middle East.
Israel is not a victim. And Netanyahu is a war criminal.
“Power in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, the so-called Palestinian territories, has been divided among three entities: a governing body called the Palestinian Authority, the militant group Hamas, and the state of Israel.”
So “Palestinian State” was incorrect shorthand for the actual reality above.
But it is also incorrect to call Israel a genocidal entity bent on killing abd expelling Palestinians wherever they are found. Simply not true.
If Israel was a genocidal government with a “lust for territory” there would be no Palestinians living side by side with them – the definition of genocide being all of a particular race killed … as Palestinians have been living and tolerated for 50 years. And Gaza would be under Jewish rule, not Hamas; the West Bank would be Jewish, not under Palestinian Authority rule. But there they all are, after 75 years of modern Israel’s existence – Palestinians in abundance and a Palestinian “governing” authority to rule them.
Remember how the Palestinian occupation began? The 6 day war (5 to 10 June) of 1967, when the Islamic alliance tried to wipe out Israel off the map. The only change in Israel’s territory were in the aftermath of that existential fight for survival. Do you blame them for fighting for survival?
Nothing says “objective desire for peaceful coexistence” like assassinating your counterpart peace negotiator.
c matt,
Peaceful coexistence works great among friends, that’s easy.
Between enemies peaceful coexistence is not possible until resolved through application of force – one side prevails, the other side submits … peaceful coexistence among enemies.
Palestinians and Jews are and will remain enemies. Which leads to the Oct 7 slaughter. Which leads to war on Hamas (etc). It’s been going on for not just 70 years but 3 millennia. It’s the running theme of the OT.
War is a constant through sinful human history, and will remain so until the Eschaton.
I could still see an election going through. Trump has made it perfectly clear that he will support Israel like Atlas holding the world. Israel (the #1 interferer in American elections) could very well want Trump in office. Not that Kamala or whatever other puppet wouldn’t support Israel, but Trump might be better at encouraging the goy to fight for it.
This has been my position. Collapsing the stock market on Biden/Harris’ watch just reinforces that. Sure, they could draft our daughters and throw a bunch of indifferent non-English speaking illegals into the meat grinder, but gung-ho red-state boys defending the red, white, and blue on the heels of the new 9/11 would make for a much better fighting force for our greatest ally.
I’m sure there’s an element of wishful thinking to my logic… that’s not lost on me. Not because I think Trump is a good guy, but because I think that result buys us more time. It means the league of shadows is still treading lightly with the well-armed half of the country and trying to placate us to some extent. A Trump win means we probably have a few more tomorrows to get our houses in order and get our kids spiritually ready for what’s absolutely coming.
Installing Harris and this Walz psychopath in January brings us to the doorstep of Bolshevik Revolution 2.0. It means in-your-face fraud and they don’t care who sees it. It means permanent marxist-democrat rule. It means hard tyranny is here.
I agree with Mike.
Israel wants this war.
America wants this war.
Iran doesn’t have a choice.
If Iran does nothing, the Mossad and CIA will try to fan the discontent by Iranian citizens into a color revolution. It’ll be the same muck-up as Ukraine.
But this not merely about Iran, or Ukraine for that matter. This is also about Iran’s strategic and economic importance to Russia and China.
2029 is coming. The Consecration of Russia hasn’t been done. There is no legitimate Pope. The Olympics has men boxing the **** out of women. The US Intel agencies are predicting a cyber attack in election night that will ‘delay’ results.
Can Catholics at least stop pretending now and cease worshiping the ballot box as the 4-year saviour that never comes?
I wouldn’t worry too much about Iran. Their leftist US patrons are politically failing, their help to the terror stare diminishing. And Israel has a unified political coalition and enraged nation at their back singularly focused on the war aim of destroying Hamas terrorists and their Shiite Iranian sponsors.
Jews actually suffered an attempted genocide, before the word lost much of its meaning through over-application. They won’t go down that path again without a fight. Every Hamas war criminal is dead, except one. The Jews are even recruiting Iranian security agents to plant the assassin bombs.
It is more likely that the Iran regime will fall than that they have the ability to conduct offensive military operations in the face of this Jewish onslaught. But … perhaps they try, we’ll see how long they last. The Jews are unified and pissed.
Aqua,
I’d really like to know where you get your news from. Hamas’ leadership is mostly alive, and has been long out of Gaza. Israel LOST to Hamas. Israel knows it cannot defeat Hezbollah. Which is why they’ve once again gotten the US to bring a carrier group and 12 warships.
The Secretary of Defense said last weeks US troops will fight if Israel goes to war with Iran. So, Israel will go to war. And as they did with Hamas, they will lose.
Netanyahu made Israel suffer an “attempted genocide”. And he let it happen so he could actually commit genocide. And draw the US into a war.
You wax poetic about serving at mass, but you’re actually quite bloodthirsty. You actually seem to want World War 3, and think, strangely, that Israel is righteous about provoking a war with Iran.
Crazy stuff.
A few weeks ago, Netanyahu admitted they needed assistance with Hezbollah and Hamas.
Just as they lost to Hezbollah a few years ago, they are losing now. It is amazing how the news is spun. I remember that conflict well, mainly because it was one of the first instances of “deep fake” technology used by reporters to make things worse than they were. Israel went in guns blazing and then quietly retreated, accomplishing nothing. We were told it was a victory, but Hezbollah didn’tose anything and Israel didn’t gain anything.
Mike said: “You wax poetic about serving at mass, but you’re actually quite bloodthirsty.”
Of all the crazy things you’ve ever said, that ranks up there near the top. That is nutty.
That you feel comfortable saying such things explains more about you than me.
Aqua, you obviously forget what you write on here. I don’t.
Anyway, what it says about me is that I see things as they are, and am not clouded by my fantasies and biases.
Why wouldn’t you worry about Iran? You didn’t explain why. I worry because the West is gunning for evil wars of control, and pressuring Russian and Chinese involvement. Are you not worried about that? Do you think the West can win? And at what cost? Do you not fear the Queen of Heaven’s warnings that Nations will be Annihilated? I doubt she was only referring to the Middle East.
What US patrons does Iran have, specifically? And could they even outspend the Israeli lobbies and Jewish patrons and MSM in the US to make any difference? What makes them the ‘terror’ state? Did they fund arm and train the Taliban, Al Queada, ISIS/ISIL, or the Banderist Ukronazis?
Why should we care if the Jews want a repeat of their exile or Massada 2.0? Do you not care what happens to them? So it is bad if someone else commits genocide against them, but suicidal self-genocidal actions are permissable? And is it therefore permissable that genocide against Palestinians is somehow okay then? After all, they are also expereincing the same treatment under Israel. Are the Palestinian people less human than the Jews? If every Hamas ‘criminal’ is dead, then why is Israel continuing to bomb innocent people in Palestine? For that remaining ‘one’ guy? What is his name? Are you being deliberately hyperbolic?
You seem to have some insider info about Jewish assassination attempts. But that’s at least believable, considering the Israeli modus operandi will bomb 100 people, including women and children to kill one guy. Is that a propotional action to you? If so, then why are you upset if Palestinians retaliate?
You seem awfully confident that Iran will fall. Were you as certain about Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Russia’s SMO in Ukraine? Which country’s ambassadors encouraged those wars? Considering the Western governments are afraid of policing Islamic troublemakers within their own borders, I tend to doubt that there will be as much accomplished than any of the former. After all we also know the Islamic world is also united and pissed. And which group of people’s representative bodies and lobbyists championed their importation and protection in the West, only to turn around when the blowback hindered their cause?
Off topic but: today the Secret Service announced that the Butler, Pa Trump rally was the *first* time they sent a counter-sniper to a Trump rally.
Now think: why would they deploy counter-snipers at that specific rally? Why, to kill the guy they hired/brainwashed/cajoled to kill Trump, that’s why.
I think Trump is a mass murderer, but this Game of Thrones stuff just gets crazier and crazier.
