Iran is about to have enough nuclear material to make nukes. Everyone has been warning Biden in hopes that he will act. But he is doing what he does best and failing us. Israel on the other hand has been anxiously waiting to handle Iran. Israel’s new Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in fact has gone as far as saying they will win the war against Iran.
The prime minister, who fought as an officer in an elite army unit deep inside Lebanon during the 2006 Second Lebanon War, said, “We have been playing into the hands of the Iranians for years. When I fought in Lebanon, I was fighting against Iran’s [Hezbollah] proxies, while the ayatollahs funding and arming them were untouchable. When I took over as prime minister, I reassessed the situation on a clean slate. Iran will no longer be immune. The Iranian regime is rotten, corrupt, unable to supply its citizens with basic needs, the economy is collapsing, entire regions are without running water. So, my new perception is that Israel must enter the arena and work to further weaken the head of the octopus.”
He likens Israel’s current situation to that of the United States under the Reagan administration in the late 1970s and 1980s, which exhausted the Soviet Union to the point that it fell apart almost overnight.
“Once we have full laser defences,” Bennett said, “the billions invested in the missile and rocket systems around Israel will be extraneous. The laser will provide a response to this threat. Israel is now on a momentum of laser technology development that will be a game changer. We are making massive investments in this matter and we will win the war through the power of our economy, democracy and innovation. I don’t know where we are on the scale as we head for a decisive victory, but we must continue to work all the time, in the military field, too, and exert pressure on Iran’s proxies in Syria. What business do they have there? What are they looking for on our borders?”
Asked whether the Israel Defense Forces were operating against Iran in locations and with tools that have not been made public, in addition to its activity in Syria as reported by foreign media, Bennett answered, “We’re just getting started, we have many tools.” Iran’s threat, he said, is not only nuclear. “Some 100,000 missiles in Lebanon are a significant threat with huge destruction potential.”
It looks like we must have told Israel not to attack Iran directly. They have already expressed interest in handling them for us, but I guess we are going to let Iran make themselves a nuke before we get involved.
