The US could join Israel to strike Iranian nuclear sites, sources have told the newspaper
The transition team of US President-elect Donald Trump is considering options for targeting Iran, including a direct attack on its nuclear facilities, sources have told the Wall Street Journal on condition of anonymity.
[...]
Trump is understood to have told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a recent phone call that he does not want Iran to go nuclear on his watch. Tehran denies that it wants to achieve nuclear capability [...]
”Trump aides and confidants supporting military options for his second term said the main idea would be to support Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities like Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan, and even potentially have the US participate in a joint operation,” the newspaper reported.
The Times of Israel reported this week that the Netanyahu government is preparing strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities. The sites are highly fortified, so it’s not clear whether the Israeli military could inflict sufficient damage with the conventional weapons in its arsenal. The US could provide heavy bombers and bunker-buster bombs for such an operation.
To me it looks like the zionists are capitalizing on their success and pushing for an even better game-board and total victory against the axis of resistance.
They've conducted a genocide that while not total has borne them the results they want. They've decapitated the leadership of Hamas and Hezbollah. The latter of which subsequently agreed to stand down after the zionists attacked them after previously pledging to not stop attacks on the zionist entity until the genocide stopped and a ceasefire with Hamas was achieved. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Syria has fallen to jihadists and US proxies (overlapping not exclusive) and they've taken part of its territory they've long wanted. Now's the time to press the attack, get papa US to come in and bomb Iran, suppress their other capabilities in the region and establish regional hegemony for the colonial outpost leaving only Yemen which despite its best attempts has not been able to meaningfully stop shipping since the beginning of NATO operations against them (yes it requires NATO to stick around and police them but that's not a particular problem).
Long-term implications have yet to play out. But in terms of hard power, the material on the ground situation in the middle east seems worse for the axis of resistance and the multi-polar coalition than before Oct 7th '23. It may yet be that this has all set the ground-work for problems and a collapse, especially with much of the global public against them, then again they may with their superior media machine and unlimited funds from the US be able to smooth over the genocide and get most people to forget about it in the coming years. Certainly the Arab monarchies are all too eager to get back to the peace table signing deals with the zionist entity. Yes NATO and US have lost credability for their two-faced-ness on the Palestinian issue vs Ukraine but mainly with countries already skeptical of them anyways and it's not anything the global US media hegemony can't potentially repair within half a decade or so IMO.
You hate to see it. But the gameboard is at least more complex if not in a bad state from our perspective. We'll have to stay tuned for future developments as things could dramatically change in ways that are hard to predict but right now the initiative seems to be with the US and their zionist outpost which is unfortunate.
Sure, things are going in the direction of Israel right now but declaring actual war with Iran is another thing. We're talking about one of the most advanced and strongest armed forces in the world here. Even with US backing it will not be a walk in the park for Israel and they know that. More than a year of internal conflict has drained the Israeli war fund and we see them sometimes struggle on their borders against the likes of Hezbollah and Yemen and on more than one occassion the Iron Dome failed to bring down all targets that were send to them. Doing an all out war against Iran would be extremely difficult for them.
Very difficult indeed, demonstrated by the war games in which the USA was defeated by Iran unless entirely scripted. And this was 22 years ago. Iran's military strength has increased significantly in that time.
