Iran’s mission to the UN has said in a letter to the UN Security Council that President Biden has shown “tacit approval and explicit support for Israel’s unlawful military aggression against Iran,” Reuters reported on Monday.
The Iranian mission to the UN pointed to comments Biden made in Germany on Friday when he said he had a “good understanding” of Israel’s plans to attack Iran and when it might occur.
“The United States will bear full responsibility for its role in instigating, inciting and enabling any acts of aggression by Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran … as well as for the catastrophic consequences on regional and international peace and security,” Iran’s mission said.
The US has been coordinating closely with Israel on its plans to respond to the Iranian missile barrage fired at Israeli territory on October 1, which was retaliation for a string of Israeli escalations in the region, including the killing of Hamas’s political chief, Ismail Haniyeh, while he was visiting Tehran.
The US may provide support for the Israeli attack on Iran, whether by providing intelligence or potentially launching strikes of its own. The US has vowed to defend Israel from any Iranian reprisal and deployed a THAAD missile defense system and about 100 troops to Israel, making them potential targets of Iranian missiles.
Over the weekend, two “top secret” Pentagon documents were published on a Telegram channel that detailed Israeli preparations for an attack on Iran. The documents said the US observed the Israeli military using air-launched ballistic missiles (ALBMs), air-to-surface ballistic missiles, fighter jets, UAVs, and refueling tankers previously used during Israeli strikes on Houthi sites in Yemen in military drills.
Does Iran think that they can fire 190 give or take at Israel and not get a counter attack?
The daily genocide apology from "Tim Burns," based in Israel is it or India, part of the hasbara campaign funded by the American taxpayer against the American taxpayer.
Entirely. Timbit's a liar.
One might observe, as circumstantial evidence to support the claim he's "on the Apartheid State of Israel dole", that Major Burns HAS NEVER made a Comment on here that is critical of the ASI, and HAS NEVER made a Comment supportive of Palestinians.
Does Israel think she can assasinate Iranian commanders in Syria and guests in Tehran and not get a counter response.
The missile barrages were a warning that that iron dome is false hope and cope. Iran is a big nation – she can absorb a nuclear attack – Israel is rather small … mull on that.
Things rarely go the way they are "planned" also remember that.
But, but, but….those commanders and guests were…wait for it…terrorists!
They're trying to avoid wider war but Israel (read: the USA, because Israel does nothing that the USA doesn't command) keeps provoking. And they will get what they asked for: total war.
The US leaders seem to believe that they get credit for it not being worse than it is. No.
First, they really don't have any control, and would have even less as the thing escalates to full war. That is the nature of war, it spins out of control.
Second, once you kill babies, you don't get credit for not killing even more. Once you start a war, you don't get credit for not starting an even bigger war.
This probably means that all hell will break loose after the expected Zionist attack against Iran. Iran has repeatedly warned the USA and its Arab allies (and also Azerbaijan) of terrible consequences if that happens. Anarullah also just made similar ominous threats, saying that it will worse for the USA than the Vietnam War.
IMHO Saudi Arabia will collapse into civil war and Iraq will see its government toppled for a more pro-Iranian one. Also US bases and Arab oil facilities will be destroyed, Hormuz Strait blockaded, a global oil crisis will ensue and Iranian and allied troops will march by land against Israel, which will be totally unable to stop them.
Also China will use the occasion to besiege Taiwan.

It’s amazing they are still flying this husk of person to saber rattle across the globe when he couldn’t handle a Trump debate.
He did “beat medicare”, now on to conquer the globe.
It occurs to me that one reason for the ostensible "leak" of US intelligence analysis of Israel's strike planes is that it may be disinformation as to the actual nature of the real plan, i.e., a cover story.
In other words, Israel may be planning an entirely different form of attack on Iran, perhaps by using its Dolphin-Class submarines to launch cruise missiles, instead of using air-launched ballistic missiles. So Israeli and US intelligence may have "leaked" these documents to throw off Iranian preparations for the Israeli strike.
This might also explain the delay in the strike. While Israel has undoubtedly had contingency plans for a strike on Iran at various levels, when you switch to an operational plan, everything has to be recalculated to current circumstances, equipment needs to be readier, testing has to be done, exercises done (which is what the documents indicated), and current intelligence updated. All that takes time.
Now add to that a change in plans altogether. Israel has long been planning air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. If the plan has now changed to using submarine cruise missiles, this could add substantial delay. I'm unaware of any extensive exercises Israel has done in the past emphasizing its submarine capabilities, other than one report of a test in the Indian Ocean for which I can not find the articles referenced in the London Sunday Times.
I did find this report there, however:
Israel stations nuclear missile submarines off Iran

So we know this has been considered in the past.
I would like to add that it’s very likely Israel will start its attack on Iran after Antony Blinken leaves Israel.
Either him or that Pentagon General that keeps going there. It's so obvious that a Pentagon General is not going there to "dissuade" Israel from doing anything but instead is there to help Israel do what it wants to do, which is precisely what the neocons like Blinken want to do even it's not what a specific general doesn't want to do. He's under orders regardless of his personal feelings – whereas Blinken is fully on board with anything Israel wants to do.
Israel can only do little unless they want to commit suicide…!
