Brace Yourselves For War Between Iran and Israel

[N1mTzo]

If Israel and the US knew where Khamenei really is, they would kill him in a second. That and other things they are saying, such as "free Iranians" are just part of the war. Russia wouldn't do anything in military sense even if they had military agreement with Iran. Its just not how Russia operates, its not in their way of thinking. But, they would raise awareness of the destruction of Iran afterwards in the UN and similar organizations. Not that there is any real benefit from that. Remember that it took Russia 8 years to react for their own people in Ukraine. Syria was just bombing campaign. In Iran, Russia could lose more than in Ukraine and have non benefit of that. So forget Russia, if someone is going to help Iran, its covertly China and Pakistan.

I don't understand your constant attacks on Russia, because it has been fighting NATO in Ukraine for the fourth year and is actually winning there. Russia is fighting alone (only the DPRK is helping) against the entire West.
Does Putin need another war (probably global) in the Middle East? Obviously, NO. Especially since Iran itself has been pursuing a short-sighted and inert foreign policy in recent years, including towards Russia. Since 2024, Iran has repeatedly postponed the signing and ratification of the friendship treaty with Russia. In fact, only on 14.06.2025 (on the second day of the bombing of Israel in Tehran) did Iran ratify the treaty with Russia. This happened FOUR DAYS ago.

Now let's get back to Ukraine. It took Putin 8 years to build a financial infrastructure, logistics and technological independence completely independent of the West. Yes, he (Putin) spent some time on empty attempts to reach a peaceful agreement (Minsk-1 and 2), but this speaks more about his peacefulness and generosity, and not about stupidity. At the moment, Russia is completely independent from anyone and does not care about any sanctions.
Now about Syria. At the moment, Russian military bases are operating in Syria, the S-400 air defense system and radars are operating, which actually control the airspace of neighboring Israel. S-400 systems are deployed in Turkey and Armenia. We can say that at the moment Russia controls the entire possible theater of military operations in the Middle East. At the same time, Russia is not interfering in the Israel-Iran battle yet.
What does Pakistan have? Missiles? YES. Radar and air defense intelligence - NO. China has satellite data and missiles, but no bases in the Middle East region.
So, it turns out that Russia is currently the key player, with intelligence, satellites and missiles. The US has the same. This is the reason why Trump (the emperor of the galaxy on Twitter) said today that he called Putin about the Middle East war. It is quite obvious that the Americans and Israel are afraid only of Putin. Not Pakistan and China, but Putin. For the simple reason that Russia, even without directly intervening in the war between Israel and Iran, can supply intelligence and targeting data for Iranian missiles and aircraft (they have many Su-35 aircraft, which they have not yet used against Israel).

As tensions continue to rise this week, I wonder at what point does Iran reveal its hand and let Israel/US know they actually have nukes? Having modern ballistic and hypersonic missiles could be enough to defend themselves at the moment though. The reveal will make Israel go ballistic, figuratively, but what could they do about it?

Great summary of the military situation so far:

Notice that the rate of missiles being launched by Iran has been steadily decreasing. So, as the youtuber says, either they had less in reserve than we were lead to believe, the Israelis did a good job at taking out a bunch of them, or Iran is pacing out for strategic reasons.

Does Erdogan "feel" that Türkiye is next on Israel's "list"?

Meanwhile,

Russia warns US to not strike Iran, because it could trigger a nuclear catastrophe.

I’m inclined to think the latter. Not based on any specific evidence, just a gut feeling. Perhaps also the Iranians are letting the Israelis bleed themselves, while secreting the locations of their launchers, and while underground missile stocks are brought up to the surface.

I'm not attacking or defending anyone, just being realistic. We have too much expectations from Russia, which Russia delivered only partially and very indirectly so far. And that more as a consequence of Russia's actions than direct actions. Putin is saviour of Russia, not the whole world. If the world gets saved as a consequence, even the better.

Thats the same problem as "trust the plan", or "Trump playing his art of the deal". There is no "plan" and Trump really don't know what he's doing.

There is question did Iran really have SU-35 airplanes, because that batch, at first made for Egypt, was rerouted to Algier. Iran didn't had cash, Algier did. Algier's SU-35 were photographed, Iran's not. Even if Iran have the SU-35 planes, its no more than 6 specimen.

Erdogan is just a big mouth. He will do the same as he did for Palestinians. He did nothing.....

"Trump is fighting battle for his soul" stroke me as something that i deeply feel observing his recent actions
Anyway, worth having a look:

Just to recap. The whole point of this attack on Iran is to gain total control of the oil and gas resources in the Middle East and thereby strangle China's (and Russia) plan for a multipolar world, unseating the US as hegemon - and by definition Israel as the ME hegemon.

Erdogan backs Iranian response to Israel

Reiterating the intelligibility of what Col. MacGregor is saying in the previously posted vid. Beginning @13.45 he goes into what Joe has pointed out - it's the oil and gas resources. He also says Turkey is the wild card, that Erdogan may indeed decide to take on Israel - and also Russia and China could very well do the same if the situation gets dire enough. More importantly is GAZA - the crux of what will lead to Israel's destruction. Very good insights as to Trump's role, the influences, his less than stellar actions, and what he absolutely needs to do. The Colonel's voice is one of astute, reasoned clarity to the glaring reality of this potential world crisis.

Not sure, but it seems that there’s more going on with Trump than just his usual ’art of the deal’. I get the impression that he has been ’paid a visit’ or his mind has been manipulated either by human representatives of the ’secret rulers’ or 4D critters/technology. I mean, he had plenty of opportunities to start a war with Iran during his first term, yet he didn’t do it. So, I’m not buying the ”he’s been lying all along, all these years, about wanting peace”.

Could be that, or it could be something similar but more mundane. I was thinking earlier about the failed assassination.

Supposedly, the 'higher ups' decided that it was too big of a breach of free will and it had to be nixed.

But.... why was the assassination not just called off? Or at least have it be a fully failed attempt?

Instead he was nicked on the ear, providing for the opportunity for him to 'rise like a lion' as we all saw with the "fight! fight! fight!" thing.

The result was that they weren't just denied the chance to kill him, but they got the extreme opposite: Trump not only still alive, but waaaay more popular than ever and now with a much stronger mandate than before! Talk about getting the extreme opposite of what you wanted!

But....there may be a twist in the tail. After that failed assassination, Trump appears to have had something of a conversion. He openly talked about someone protecting him that day, and there were a LOT of references to "god" saving him for some special purpose. This was echoed most recently by US Ambass. to Israel Huckabee.

So it is possible that Trump's 'amazing conversion' is what's behind his apparent changed behavior, with some claiming an almost messianic tone to his attitude?

Is this part of the reason for his bust up with Musk?

Was Musk alluding to this when he wrote somewhat cryptically two days ago on X.

"No gods or kings, only men"

A voice worth hearing:

I think so too.
He seems to understand what Israel is really about and how the U.S. is being used. Plus he sees how the other players like Russia and China, the City of London, and other middle eastern countries may react to this . It is not easy to find a former military Colonel who sees as many angles of the world stage as this man who speaks from a military point of view.
I think he is much like Scott Ritter who has a more realistic view of how all these campaigns are waged.

I might comment more later but for now:

Session 18 May 2024:

Q: (L) I'll never forget. When I asked S, I said, well, you know, 'cause she was still on machines and they hadn't turned off the machines yet. And I said, will you come back? And she says, ‘Are you kidding?!’ [laughter] That's what she said: ‘Are you kidding?’

(Joe) Come back where?

(L) Come back into her body, so we could, you know, wake her up. Because her body was still alive on the machines. Okay. Is there anything we need to know that we haven't asked? If so, consider it asked.

A: Many more trials coming in place after place. It takes a lot to awaken a dumbed down population. Many will not survive. Take care of each other. Goodbye.

Q: (L) So, it ain't over yet. The fat lady didn't sing!

Absolutely! And interestingly enough, he echoed the take of Major General Smedley Butler - our military is the muscle utilized by powerful financial interests.

So it is possible that Trump's 'amazing conversion' is what's behind his apparent changed behavior, with some claiming an almost messianic tone to his attitude?

Oh my! Trump is as delusional as Jordan Peterson! "Netanyahu is a good person - he's being treated very unfairly by his own people"! Good Lord! That shot to the head had a much bigger effect than anyone realized! Israel must be saved by him no matter what?!

Insane religious beliefs and adherence - the source of so much evil in this world!

 

[JEEP]

An additional note regarding Col. MacGregor's remarks - he talked about the surprise Ukrainian drone attack on Russia (SpiderWeb) and the same exact tactic used by Israel on Iran. Coincidence? He describes how regular people inside a country can be paid to purchase small drones and arm them for attack within that country. Think of the implications of this completely new way to instigate terror upon the government or whoever! It's a whole new aspect of danger that's been telegraphed to the whole world.

 

[Cosmos]

Another possibility is that Trump will continue to give the Israelis key ammunition and intel and battle capabilities and thus essentially taking part in the war while officially pretending that this isn’t the case and not officially starting a war. End result is probably the same while Trump can then pretend/bluster “I didn’t start a war or take part in it“. I dunno, that would be quite disingenuous and probably not fly for all Trump supporters.

Just saw another new interview with Trump and it is interesting to note that he keeps saying that the Israelis are doing good and winning the war (see next post below). If so then, why should the US get in? Maybe that is the line he is pursuing currently?

Much more unlikely: He says they are doing good and are winning in order to have an excuse for not sending them any more military help in the hopes that they destroy themselves without US support being left alone against Iran.
