Israeli officials are claiming Russia might provide Iran with S-400 air defense systems, and because of that, Israel’s window to launch an attack on Iran is closing, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.
The report cited anonymous people in the US and Israel who said the prospect of Iran acquiring the S-400 system could accelerate plans for an Israeli attack. While Russia and Iran have vowed to increase cooperation, it’s not clear if Moscow has plans to provide Tehran with the S-400 system.
Israeli officials have been openly threatening to attack Iran, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has said Israel was running out of time to do so. The threats are focused on Iran’s nuclear program even though the Pentagon and CIA have acknowledged Tehran is not trying to build a bomb.
“The longer you wait, the harder that becomes,” Netanyahu said of a strike on Iran last week. “We’ve waited very long. I can tell you that I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.”
While Israeli officials are making constant threats, the US has essentially given Israel the green light to attack Iran. Tom Nides, the US ambassador to Israel, said in February that Israel “can and should do whatever they need” against Iran and that the US has “got their back.” The comments came a few weeks after an Israeli drone attack hit a facility in the Iranian city of Isfahan.
The US and Israel have stepped up their military cooperation and launched their largest-ever joint military drills in January, known as Juniper Oak 23, which involved massive live-fire exercises over Israel and the Mediterranean Sea.
Well, if ya’ll ever grow a pair, the place hasn’t moved much in the last few hundred years, you know where to find it….
Israel therefore,should launch an all out nuclear first strike.
That doesn’t even make sense. You should read the comment you’re replying to before you give your reply of the day.
I did.
Good for you. Admitting you’re an idiot.
Go look in a mirror.
I did. And I didn’t see someone who thinks a country should be nuked based on someone making this comment:
“Well, if ya’ll ever grow a pair, the place hasn’t moved much in the last few hundred years, you know where to find it….”
Good times, man. lol

babbling again.
What part of that didn’t you understand? You said Israel should do a first strike nuke attack based on that comment. Please elaborate.
Against a non-nuclear country that has no nukes of it own? Jake, I pretty well know that you are at a university in Israel, and you are paid for typing your dribble so you can afford your studies.
Go and be a blight unto the world.
don’t give out any stock tips.
Do you really believe that Jake??? If I’m gonna get my beautiful ass nuked, I don’t want to do it for Israel…
So, your solution to the possibility of Iran developing nuclear weapons in response to Israel having them for generations?
Is to murder 80 million, mostly innocent people in a nuclear first strike?
I think we all know your level of sanity, honor and reason.
What do you do for fun?
Torture puppies?
Have a nice day.
Iran has stated its goal of destroying Israel.If it takes nuclear weapons to stop that-fine.
Based on its track record, I have a hunch that Israel’s opportunity to launch a preemptive strike against Iran has 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 passed.
Duane, thing is, IsraHell doesn’t fight its own wars, it gets its bitch Amerikkka to do it for them.
Can you envision a three-pronged attack against Russia, China and Iran by the United Snakes?
Nope, me either 😂
Israel’s beeyotch.
GO away!
I am not really following why Iran is even in that sentence. They have no military to speak of an entirely minor country militarily. They do have lots and lots of oil
They’ve got the larges military in the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia has the largest amount of deadly infrastructure thanks to its terrorist sponsors in Washington DC
Really? Good value for $$ as Saudi outspends them 5 to 1.
Someone wake John please…!
Israel is more dangerous to World Peace with Nuclear weapons then Iran is without.
The US may not be able to stop Israel, even if it wanted to, even if the consequences were WW III. Sometimes the tail can wag the dog – even the top dog.

So it’s an unprovoked war crime for Russia to attack Ukraine over nukes it wants but it’s righteous self defense for Israel to attack Iran over nukes it doesn’t want. Just to get that straight.
Yes, it’s a ‘Rules-Based Order’, but the rules are complicated. It’s got a really fat rules book and they’re really hard to interpret. Kind of like golf. And Israel gets mulligans.
Just to get it straight-Iran is building nukes,Ukraine gave up its nukes.
Only there’s no evidence to support this, besides that Israeli and US intel says they are not.
Hey troll, the US government is lying about Iran not pursuing nuclear weapons and Reuters was lying about Zelensky wanting nukes?
you don’t want to face the facts.
Hey troll, the US government is lying about Iran not pursuing nuclear
weapons and Reuters was lying about Zelensky wanting nukes?
Best not feed the trolls, let them starve.
Cor-rect, Southern! I’ve had Jake the Snake on ignore for some time now. No point in allowing a Zionazi imbecile taint an otherwise intelligent conversation.
Where is there a thread of proof that Iran is obtaining nukes, and who says that they can’t have them? Israel and the US are serial liars who do not have any right to tell Iran what it can and cannot do…
jake obviously knows something that the pentagon does not.
the Pentagon and CIA have acknowledged Tehran is not trying to build a bomb.
So what?
Israel already has loads of nukes to top IRBM’s to obliterate Iran with.
Are you saying if you lived in Iran? You would not want your government to develop nukes if your enemies did?
Of course you would.
Iran is protecting themselves.
I see nothing wrong with that.
Russia was provoked. Israel was provoked. now you have it straight.
Really? There is some anti-Israel military alliance encroaching on Israel’s “borders”. The superpower is arming countries that border Israel? War games on their borders? Oh wait, those are things Israel is doing. I could have added their terrorism in the form of assassinations, sabotages and airstrikes on a sovereign nation recovering from an earthquake, but I don’t want to be redundant.
Iran has many well trained scientists,a population of 80 million people,great oil wealth, and hate fuel. 100,000 missiles in southern lebanonposed on Israels northern border,and if you don’t see that as a threat,you must be eating raw lemons and complaining about the baby crying next door.
I seriously doubt Hezbollah has 100K missiles. But even if they did? That is nothing – NOTHING – compared to the dozens of nuclear-tipped IRBM’s that Israel has.
So, scientists, population and great oil wealth are threats to another country? Sure, that’s the same as NATO encroaching Russia. Hate fuel? Would that be what the US and Israel have been feeding Iran for the last 40 years? And those missiles are what as compared to Israel’s 200 to 300 nukes? Nice try but as always, you fail.
Nailed it !!!
Paper Tigering again from SatanYaboo while the civil war is on to deflect attention…!
“the US has essentially given Israel the green light to attack Iran.”
If that “green light” has not originated from President Biden, then there is something seriously wrong with our federal governance namely subordination by our ambassador in Israel.
I therefore assume that “the US” in the leading sentence means President Biden. Then why do you write “the US” when that is misleading?
We do not know what the Russians have said to Israel about Israeli use of nuclear weapons on the border of Russia.
However, we do know that the Soviets openly threatened Israel over its nuclear threats aimed at Egypt. So, it could happen, because it did happen.
Putin is no angel,but he does nearly bear the same level of animus the USSR did. Providing terrorists with bombs designed as children’s candy.
Somewhere in the bible, I don’t remember the passage, is a prophecy in regards to Persia being attacked and Persia successfully defends itself but during a counter attack Persia to describe gets a black eye.
Armageddon was in Syria;a huge army massed in the north and was repulsed at great cost .Haman will once again be hung.
It looks like we might sit this one out. Sunday talk shows the word from our government is that Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon program. Weird timing for such an admission. Certainly Israel really stepped up and helped us with the Ukraine situation ( oh wait). Their window is closing they will have to decide what they want to do, we hopefully will grab some popcorn and see how it all plays out.
A wise person avoids doodo.
Stop making excuses and make your move. All this whining, I should’ve been intoxicated by now.
So a purely defensive weapon is provoking Israel to attack. We live in Bizzaro World.
Providing AA defense for ones own missiles and troops is not purely defensive.In 1973 war,SAMS proved cover for Egyptian aggression.
Egypt used them to provide air cover over the Sanai that is now part of Egypt. How is this equivalent to Iran which is 1000km from Israel?
So what is Iran allowed to have wooden batons and lances, or would you deprive them of that as well?
Wrong.
See that word you typed after ‘AA’?
‘Defense’.
That means it is defensive…not offensive.
So what if it allowed Egypt more freedom.
They are still PURELY, defensive weapons.
They don’t attack aircraft on the ground.
They defend air space against attacking aircraft.
You know nothing about this matter.Egypt broke a truce, fired its artillery and sent its troops across the canal.SAMS phindered. an Israeli counterstrike.
So? You are saying I know absolutely ‘nothing’ about the Egyptian, surprise attack of 1973 (as Israel launched a surprise attack of 1967)?
Well, that seems an incredibly silly and emotional thing to say.
But whatever.
Considering you are the person wh is calling for an Israeli first strike and the systematic annhilation of 80 million, mostly innocent Iranian’s.
I am not in the least- bit surprised.
The fact remains that an air defense missile cannot tactically be used on offense.
Not possible.
Now, if it’s capabilities allow that military to expand it’s offensive reach? Fine.
But that does not make it offensive…no matter how much you scream to the contrary.
We are done here – for now – as clearly your bias (and morality) are in serious question here.
You are not interested in debate/discussion.
You are only interested in screaming how much you ADORE Israel. And HATE anyone who does not.
Good day.
Take a good look in the mirror.you cant handle dissent from the prevailing view. With nukes,Iran sits back under a nuclear umbrella,and gets its jollies firing 50 or a hundred conventional missiles at Israel,day after day. Israel cannot fight a war of attrition against a country with 10 times the population..Iran will all ways find plenty of trained fools to launch terror raids.By any means necessary. By the way,you are the only one screaming. Your Personal attacks show that my arguments are better.
The solution to all this foreign intervention is to allow private donations to whatever country a person may want to defend. It’s not fair to demand all the taxpayers to be forced to keep shelling out to keep these wars of intervention going just to enrich the war industry. Then people could choose to put their money where their loyalties lie. Especially Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel. They’re all money drains on the American people.
Private donations are allowed-move into the 21st century.
Iran has previously said it does not need or want the S-400.
I highly doubt that. Why would Iran not want an advanced, air-defense system?
Good thing that Iran has been cozying up to the PRC.
Put THAT in your crack pipe and smoke it, IsraHell.
If Iran is such a threat to Israel then Israel should do what’s necessary to neutralize that threat. Go ahead, attack Iran on your own- if it’s that important you should have done it already. Get the jets warmed up and launch- now- before its too late. While you’re doing that, the rest of the world will sit back and drink a cold beer and see how that works out for you and the ‘most moral army in the world’.
Imagine if a “non approved” nation made such an illegal threat. Our Western mainly white minority world “media” would be screaming outrage..
Imagine makes such threats (and worse)twice a week
Sure. And what is keeping our MSM from running bi-weekly reports on those “worse” threats? Are they being influenced by the Iranian lobby not to run them? How about some links.
Just a taste:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/iranian-commander-threatens-to-raze-tel-aviv-and-haifa-if-us-attacks/amp/
So, you show me Iran’s reaction to 40 years of US belligerence and 30 years of Israel begging the US to attack them? And that is “worse” than the maximum pressure campaign or Israel/US war games simulating attacking Iran? Not to mention Israeli terrorism which includes assassinations, sabotages and airstrikes. Try harder.
You can do better than that. Israel at worst threatens to attack Iranian nuclear sites. The Iranians threaten to annihilate Israel’s 2 largest cities with civilian populations totalling 6 million.
Israel continuously calls for a preemptive attack and they want daddy warbuck’s help. Iran says what they’ll do if attacked. And never mind the economy destroying sanctions that are ongoing. So, current Iranian deaths matter little but hypothetical deaths mean everything. And those hypothetical deaths would only be a result to the war Israel wants so badly.
Here’s what you said:
“ Sure. And what is keeping our MSM from running bi-weekly reports on those “worse” threats? Are they being influenced by the Iranian lobby not to run them? How about some links.”
I provided a link
Now you’re talking about “hypothetical” deaths. A threat is always hypothetical unless it’s carried out. Iran has made numerous threats to destroy Israel. Unless you want to withdraw your earlier challenge to provide links, I think I’ve made my point.
I already replied to that link. Iran said what they would do if attacked. I then pointed Iran’s reactions stem from 40 years of continuous belligerence from the US and the 30 years since Bibi started talking of war. Your link was from “The Times of Israel”. A bit slanted and it still said Iran was going to level those cities if attacked. And the only reason I used “hypothetical” deaths was to compare them with real ongoing deaths from sanctions. So no, you didn’t make your point.
Ok. Here’s a less “slanted” Iranian source
https://www.iranintl.com/en/202208065484
(And I suppose Death to Israel means nothing)
Deash to Israel means that they’ll support it and care for their injured.
And calling for war on Iran means what? Maybe death to Iran? Again, after 40 years of US belligerence and Israel’s weekly call for war, what would you expect? The fact that they are cruder about it doesn’t change the fact that they are reacting to actions against them. Your original response that Iran’s threats are “worse” is hogwash and your links only reiterate that fact. Especially given the fact that it is Israel that has carried out what would be considered terroristic attacks inside Iran. And when I say “would be considered” I mean that in the sense that if Iran had done similar actions inside Iran, the US and Israel would be screaming bloody murder and that war Israel has been trying to instigate for decades would have come to fruition.
Being realistic about real danger does not mean you want war;the enemy is forcingit.
Calling for war on a weekly basis means you want war no matter how hard you pretend it doesn’t.
Which two Israeli cities have a civilian population of six million? Even Israel’s largest city, Tel Aviv, is only about half a million.
From Google:
The metro area population of Tel Aviv-Jaffa in 2022 was 4,344,000, a 1.88% increase from 2021. The metro area population of Tel Aviv-Jaffa in 2021 was 4,264,000, a 1.99% increase from 2020. The metro area population of Tel Aviv-Jaffa in 2020 was 4,181,000, a 2.05% increase from 2019.
Ah, I see — the metro rather than city population. So you’re 3/4 of the way to your six million, so I guess the second metro would be Haifa?
👍
Well, go ahead and attack then.
Israel.
To me?
They used to be ‘the good guys’.
Now?
They are the ‘bad guys’.
They’ve NEVER been the Good Guys.
But I’m glad that you’ve finally seen the light.
I said ‘to me’.
And yes, they did used to be the good guys ‘to me’.
One nation defending itself against 3 or 4 others.
That was until the Sabra & Shatila Massacre in 1982.
Farrakhan
To you they have never been the good guys.
Fortunately, you speak ONLY for you.
To say Israel were ALWAYS the ‘bad guys’ strikes me as you just hate Jewish people. Or, at least, their nation.
To me?
Israel is now the Apartheid of the 21’st century.
But they were not always so awful, imo.
You obviously do not agree.
Whatever.
Good day.
Read about the Nakba then get back to me, pal.
And I see you’re equating anti-Zionism with Jew-hate; oldest trick in the Zionazi book!
I’d tell you to have a good day as well, but I wouldn’t mean it 😁
What part of ‘whatever’ and ‘good day’ did you not understand.
It means: I no longer care what you think about this.
We are done here.
Bye
Sigh…another commenter who can’t face the truth and the best he can come up with is “whatever”.
I’ll do ya one better. How ‘bout “f*ck off”?
Tel Aviv will burn. Iran has been preparing for a premeditated Zionist attack, and will make sure Israel gets what it has deserved for decades…
The British held up well under German massed bombers. Once a certain thresh hold of casualties is reached-90 Jericho missiles will turn Lebanon,Syria,and Iran into glass. Then folks will say how terrible Israel is. Sorry to disapoint you.Haman will get his.
You are a fool. If Israel uses nukes the entire region will be a sh*thole. That’s as stupid as thinking Iran can build a nuke, take out Israel and live happily ever after.
Man says Tel Aviv will burn- I responded. Purge yourself of your feelings.
I responded to you saying ‘-90 Jericho missiles will turn Lebanon,Syria,and Iran into glass’. And what do my feelings have to do with anything? I’m just thinking if three countries are obliterated form the face of the earth, I could safely assume that the entire region just may be affected.
There are others watching this folly. Any atack on Iran might bring other players in the area struggling to deal with worsening Palestinian occupation. Iran has bern preparing for a long time.
I think Netanyahu is always using the external enemy tool to control internsl problems. At present, he is facing growing protests. Needs attention. But he is also a gambler, and ifvin trouble he will call US bluff.
However, given deterioratingvUS global position it may be a bridge too far.
Very, well said, imo.
Iran orders 24 top quality fighter jets from Russia

World War Three in the making?….
The Israeli leadership descended into evil decades ago. All that’s left is a rotted, corrupt core of hatred.
Even with a more moderate Israeli leadership,the Iran menace is what it is, and the Palestinians wont accept any compromise.
