Israel is considering launching a “preemptive strike” on Iran as it’s awaiting a reprisal attack for the assassination of Hamas’s political chief in Iran.
According to Israeli media reports, Israel could launch an attack on Iran if it finds an Iranian strike is imminent. The idea was discussed on Sunday night in a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his top military and intelligence officials.
Iranian officials have made clear they will respond to the killing of Ismail Haniyeh on Iranian soil, and any Israeli preemptive strike would just escalate the situation even more.
US and Israeli officials believe an Iranian attack could happen any day, and it’s expected that Hezbollah will be involved in the operation as the Lebanese group vowed a response to an Israeli strike that killed one of its top commanders in Beirut. Iran’s allies in Iraq and the Houthis in Yemen could also join the attack on Israel.
The US has deployed additional warships and warplanes to the Middle East for the purpose of “defending Israel,” making US military assets potential targets in a reprisal attack.
Back in April, Iran directly attacked Israel for the first time in response to the Israeli bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria. The US and some of its allies, including the UK and Jordan, helped defend Israel from the attack, intercepting many of the 300 missiles and drones that were fired at Israeli territory. US officials expect the reprisal attack for the Haniyeh killing to be bigger.
So much defending itself going on. /s
See the interview with Alastair Cooke today on Judge Nap's Youtube channel. This is THE best information available on the Middle East situation. Crooke gives details about Russian EW, the Haniya assassination, and much more.
I dial in Judging Freedom every week day. Mr. Crooke is a gem to listen to. As is Max Blumenthal, Aaron Mate', Col. MacGregor, and the rest of the guests on Judge Napitolano's program.
They could have selected a better screenshot for that . . .
In addition to the dozens of prior preemptions. how is that working out for you guys,?
We will wait till all the dust settled to answer your question…!!!!
I have never seen any country running to impale on sword, then blame it on the sword for stabbing them for no reason. I guess you really can’t fix stupid.
Not just stupid BUT EVIL, ready to try to starve & kill two million to steal their gas and "Valuable Waterfront Property". I wonder how MANY antisemites killing millons of helpless women & children might create?? JUST TALKING ABOUT IT APT TO DREDGE LOTS OF ZIO-HATE!!!
I believe when this gets started, Israel won’t be enjoying any waterfront property.
Does Israel dare to fall upon its own sword or do they effort to slay the dragon?….
Ahhh but they are the dragon.
I have decided to revisit the idea of implementing a home made bomb shelter…. Let me finish smoking this joint first and ponder, further, the situation…
Listen to this after the joint
Well, I will not go down under the ground
'Cause somebody tells me that death's comin' 'round
And I will not carry myself down to die
When I go to my grave, my head will be high
Let me die in my footsteps before I go down under the ground
I would like to add that Iran’s Press TV is nailing the truth to the wall!
Check them out folks, all in English!
Dude! Do a preemptive strike after you, yourself, done did the latest 100 escalations? That's brilliant! …What's that? …That's stupid!? …Well it could be stupid in your eyes, but for Fox news, it's brilliant!

Iran would really make Israel/USA look bad by NOT resorting to a "revenge" attack. It should seek redress in the UN or other agency and show the world (once again!) that the REAL troublemaker/aggressor in the Middle East is Israel and its parasite host the USA! Any pre-emptive strike by Israel at this time would probably be the death knell for Israel, at least for its criminal government!
I'm sure the Iranians know which strategies work. Theoretically, in terms of game theory it definitely does not pay to be a pushover, except in the case the opponents are pushovers.
In this case Israel wants a war with Iran. They have wanted it for a long long time. The US is a bit more ambivalent, but there are many powerful forces within government, the blob, the military, who might well be in the position to turn into reality desired outcomes, who desperately want war with Iran.
When Iran does not respond, the Israeli will just continue to escalate the provocations until they do. It surprises me a bit that there are people who manage to miss that particular point, while one cannot blame Israel for being excessively ambigious on the matter. Wish father the thought?
The UN is useless in this regard for as long as the US holds veto power. That must end. The whole veto power institution corrupts the process and often defeats the purpose of the UNSC, the composition of which does not reflect the geopolitical realities in the world today, much less where it will be in the future.
The IRI could play a lot of clever tactics, letting Netanyahu et. al. stew in constant fear of "something" happening.
Keep moving Iran's ballistic missile launchers; let Mossad intercept "coded" communications directed to sleeper-cells in Israel (that don't actually exist). Build a scale mock-up of Tel Aviv in a desert where satellites can see it and have personnel taking some sort of blast-radius measurements. Hells, let the body of an "IRG Major" wash up dead on a beach in Qatar with a briefcase cuffed to him, containing the plans for a joint IRI / Hezbollese invasion of Greece i mean northwest Israel.
What's the saying ? "Those whom the gods would destroy, they first drive mad ?"
Well maybe the Iranians could. But perhaps, and I don't want to cause any alarm, they might be a lot more clever and less transparent than for example the guys at the NY Times with their dripping wet thumbs. Then again, that newspaper has about zero credibility to begin with.
But anyway, I don't think the Israeli at this point are susceptible to become more insane than they already are.
The Iranians are already known in the Middle East as "the adults in the room" when dealing with US/Israel, as well as any of their puppet governments. They would probably have internal issues if they didn't retaliate in some way, after all they openly attacked a diplomat (whatever you may think of him, that is what the Iranians would consider him) invited to attended the presidential inauguration on Iranian soil.
I doubt they'll do the same thing as last time, the Israelis are prepared for it. They'll probably go after some other security hole (every country has them), hopefully a targeted assassination of someone like Beelzebub Smotrich or Ben-Gvir.
Iran doesn’t act with force the Zionist State of Israel will strike again thinking they once again have the deterrence.
Aren't all of Israel's attacks preemptive? After all, we all know the tune, Daddy War-Bucks and his ethnic cleansing prodigy, scouring the landscape in search of the next war.
That would be a tough sell. Even for the US. But when you can openly talk about the justification of starving 2 million people to death you really don't have much to worry about.
Zio-Biden's buying everything they're seling with fistfulls of cash from Janet Yellin!!!!
June 5, 1967 repeat?
2nd time as farce.

Actually, Israel is considering launching ANOTHER "pre-emptive" strike on Iran, but of course, Israel is always the victim, even when slaughtering tens of thousands.
Someone ought to tell Netanyahu about The Little Bighorn.
Then again, let's not. It's about time someone teaches him a lesson.
This jackass is beginning to remind me more and more of Zelensky. Just can't keep his mouth shut.
