Currently, Israel has gone on a near total lockdown, under full military alert, claiming an attack by Iran is imminent.
Joe Biden cut his home visit short and returned to Washington.
Thoughts?
Will Iran attack?

With Hezbollah and Houthis already a part of so much of this since the massacre on October 7th, and they're both backed by Iran, it was only a matter of time before Iran itself became a part of the chaos.
I hope the U.S. stays out of it but my suspicions are that we won't.

Yes. They’ve taken an Israeli ship in Hormuz and drones are now n their way to Israel, due to hit 8pm US EST or so. This is the expected reaction to Israel’s attack on Iranian embassy in Syria.

With Israels recent and direct attack on Iran's Consulate in Syria, it appears Israel is trying to escalate a war with Iran.AZOldGal66 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 4:15 pm With Hezbollah and Houthis already a part of so much of this since the massacre on October 7th, and they're both backed by Iran, it was only a matter of time before Iran itself became a part of the chaos.

We won't. If Netanyahu and his war hawks (along with Biden and many US Congress people) have anything to say about it, we will.

What I find to be another interesting aspect of all of this and one that shouldn't be ignored....

The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the U.N. said in a post on X that if Israel makes "another mistake, Iran's response will be considerably more severe," and that the matter is between Iran and Israel, and that the U.S. should stay out of it.
It said the attack was "legitimate defense" in response to the suspected Israeli attack on the Iranian consular building in Syria and was "conducted on the strength of Article 51 of the UN Charter."
The drones, launched hours ago, are beginning to arrive in Israel."
I agree that Israel shouldn't have struck the consulate and I agree this is between Israel and Iran. The US should stay out of it. Including US weaponry and weapons systems.
