Israel Defense Minister Says Iran Will Burn If They Continue To Lob Missiles At Civilians

It’s something few in the Credentialed Media really mention, and, if they do, they aren’t too concerned, namely, that Israel is going after military targets, while Iran intentionally targets civilians. No opinion pieces slamming Iran (or any of their terrorist subsidiaries) for going after civilians

Israel Katz: ‘If Khamenei continues to fire missiles at Israeli civilians, Tehran will burn’

Defense Minister Israel Katz on Saturday threatened further action against Iran should more missiles be fired towards Israeli civilians.

“If Khamenei continues to fire missiles at Israeli civilians, Tehran will burn,” Katz said in a threatening message towards to Iranian Supreme Leader.

The defense minister made these statements after finishing a situational assessment with the IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, Mossad Director David Barnea, and other Israeli military leadership.

“The Iranian dictator is turning the citizens of Iran into hostages and bringing about the reality that they, and in particular the residents of Tehran, will pay a heavy price for the criminal harm to the citizens of Israel,” the defense minister added.

Iran should think heavily over their attacks, because they just cannot compete militarily

The road to Tehran has been paved: IDF secures air route for stronger strikes on Iran

The Israel Air Force is now capable of operating without obstruction as far as Tehran, following what was described as the destruction of a majority of Iran’s air defense systems, security officials said on Saturday morning.

The reported elimination of Syria’s military capabilities, including those of Hezbollah, has further expanded Israel’s operational range and shortened flight paths to Iran.

Until approximately two years ago, the IAF faced severe limitations in operating over Lebanon and Syria. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir’s statement on Saturday, saying “The road to Tehran has been paved” reflects the IDF’s present air dominance and signals a strategic shift. According to military officials, the pace of air operations is expected to accelerate.

Israel can easily project force into Iran with almost no opposition. They can perform pinpoint strikes. If they want to decapitate the entire ruling class they can. Iran can throw some missiles and drones, but, they are limited.

Hilariously, the Washington Post editorial board, which never once considered the danger of Biden dragging the US into WWIII with Ukraine, and cheered him on, wonders what the endgame is, and ends with Trump Trump Trump

Israel struck while the moment was ripe. But the “day after” plan and the scope of U.S. involvement in shaping it are alarmingly opaque. Trump needs to proceed cautiously — and forthrightly about exactly what he might be committing the country to. A president with an avowed aversion to sending American troops into “forever wars” in the Middle East should resist being dragged into a new one.

So, a forever war in Ukraine is OK against nuclear armed Russia, but, wiping out Iran’s nuclear ambitions is not? Why? Because Trump is president. Along those lines, Excitable Max Boot’s first thought is to slam Trump “failing to be a peacemaker.” He had no condemnation for Biden over Ukraine, Syria, the Houthis, Hamas attacking Israel, and more.
