Brace Yourselves For War Between Iran and Israel

[Cosmos]

Remember this?

“We’ve not yet employed our land, sea, oil, or Strait of Hormuz capabilities, nor have we activated our allies abroad. They have offered to join the fight, but we’ve told them it’s not needed—yet.”

If true, who could be those allies? China might be one possibility. Anyone else more directly in the region? Maybe even some allies who could invade with troops? Looking at the map there might be a number of possibilities who either border on Israel or are not too far away via the Mediterranean. How great would it be if Israel gets invaded?! Probably very unlikely, but one can hope, right?

It pretty much looks like what the US has just done is providing Iran with the JUSTIFIED AND LEGAL framework/opportunity to give the first of potentially several green lights to its quote “allies abroad“. Among which is possibly the delivery of nukes at some point. Possibly having further steps in that direction in their playing hands depending how the empire further responds: Agreeing or asking to have military assistance being 2 of those possible hands and even boots on the ground, even towards Israel (which seems the most unlikely option unless states like Jordan, Libanon, Turkey, Egypt or even the Saudis are up for it).

One can hope, right?

Izrael will not withstand prolonged war, US needs to take concrete actions to end this in one way or another. Are they interested in ending this or just to maintain and assure that EITHER Izrael and Iran will loose own ambitions?

 

[Cosmos]

Let’s hypothesize:

North-Korea (or a similarity aligned country) delivers nukes to Iran (in reality or not). It becomes official now that Iran has nukes “and North-Korea send them“. What then? How will Trump and/or his deepstate ear whisperers respond? Threatening North-Korea now and/or attacking them? Clearly, Russia is in military alliance with North Korea(?). So, would he and/or they really do something? Would this force the Trump/Deepstate side to finally truly take serious the idea of denuclearization of the middle east, INCLUDING Israel, verified by states outside of the conflict? Trump safes face by making a “huge deal“ and defusing the situation, essentially having no other option left and becoming “world peacemaker“? The crazies loose their minds even further and make more mistakes including potentially fatal ones?

"US behaviour is threatening world peace" says FM of Iran. He will be meeting with President Putin to discuss the situation:

Interesting. He will fly to Russia and talk with Putin personally tomorrow morning. Similarly to what Syria did, I think there is the possibility that Iran will then ask Russia formally for help. Or maybe at a later stage. That’s a possibility at least. If so, I think that could fundamentally change the nature of the situation although I would guess that Russia will handle that pretty carefully. Or being more upfront about it than we would think?

for now situation seems to be as usual despite Trump's 'hot air'

Chinese help to Iran: support with BeiDou satellite navigation system

Grok's commentary on the tweet

Beneath a smoke-filled night sky, an Iranian missile streaked across the darkness and slammed directly into the Israeli Ministry of Defense’s command center.

The X post discusses Iran's use of the Sejjil missile, a solid-fueled medium-range ballistic missile, during the Iran-Israel conflict on June 18, 2025, highlighting its strategic advantage due to reduced launch preparation time compared to liquid-fueled missiles, potentially reaching Tel Aviv in under seven minutes from Natanz.

It emphasizes China's critical role in enhancing Iran's military capabilities through the BeiDou satellite navigation system, which Iran accessed via a 2021 agreement, providing precise guidance for missiles and drones, crucial for the success of Iran's retaliatory strikes against Israel.

The post suggests that without BeiDou, Iran's military operations would have been significantly compromised, likening the situation to Gaza's struggles, and underscores the strategic importance of China's technological support in maintaining Iran's sovereignty and precision in warfare.

As of now, Russia or China hadn't drawn RED lines officially. But, there is more public demand now and it will come in time, IF needed.

How well Iron Dome working?

Simplicius sez:

It's just Trump's Shayrat Tomahawks 2017 redux. Another fake strike to appease neocons. If true, this could be bullish for Trump back in whitehat mode. He had to shake off some pressure from his handlers, now Israel may be in the deep. /5D mode

There seems to be significant censorship on reporting of Israeli casualties from Iranian missile strikes on Israel (mainly Tel Aviv and Haifa).

It's highly likely, given the available images and videos of the destruction, that many Israelis have been killed and wounded.

Yet Israel is largely silent on these details. This is in sharp contrast to previous attacks on Israel where casualty numbers have been loudly broadcast and condemned.

The difference is that when Israel wants to *appear* as if it is being seriously attacked and beaten, to garner international support for retaliation (notably against Iran and its allies in the region) casualty numbers are promoted.

When it is *actually* being seriously attacked and beaten, it censors reporting on casualty numbers.

Just a thought, what if the resistance intended by the Quorum as a result of Trump surviving the assassination attempt is something we didn't think of? Not the resistance provoked by the assassination attempt, or by his opposing the Deep State, but the resistance provoked by his betrayal of MAGA and collusion with the Deep State.

I have taken it for granted that Israel would get Trump in trouble because of his strong ties with Israel and the Zionists that control it, (and most of the world). I was greatly relieved when he won the election, but I knew we would be 'paying the piper' in one form or another.

One silver lining that may emerge from this is the exposure of STS skullduggery, in stark detail. As unsavory as it is, people need to learn just how dark the PTB are. We must understand the impunity behind what they do; much of their power lies in how they lie. 'By Deception We Will Wage War' - goes the Mossad Motto. Enjoy the show, but bring your raincoats.

Any chance that’s part of a strategy to shut down the war in Ukraine?

Behind the backdrop of the Israel-Iran conflict; Ukraine was quietly hit hard (June 17) and alot closer to home (the Capital) this week. 400+ Drones, only 42 intercepted. So much so that even reporters/ bloggers on the ground in Kiev that chanted to keep the fight on-going/ no surrender nor cessation of territories (as a means to peace). Their Sorrow, Pain, Distress is becoming too much. Some even feel abandoned- as Ukraine receives less international news coverage; owing to the diversion in interest towards the new conflict.

If you want a name for the play

US Chief of Staff: "Name of the operation against Iran: Midnight Hammer."

US Secretary of Defense: "President Trump stated last night that any Iranian attack would be met with an even stronger attack than last night's, and that Iran would do well to consider this. Any response will be met with force."

Few thoughts about the 'mask' in this situation, that is 'Nuclear bomb' capability. If some country feel threatened, they will go for it by hook or crook (nuclear deterrence) despite the invincibility of 'enforcers'. There is no secrecy in it though it is very difficult to enrich the material.

US got it in 1945, Soviet Russia (US threat) in 1949, UK (Assisted by US) in 1952, France (their own reasons) in 1960, China(Sino-Soviet split and Korean war of that time) in 1964, India(Chinese threat) in 1974, Pakistan (Indian threat) in 1998, North Korea in 2006.

Britain and France both developed nuclear weapons during the Cold War, but their paths were quite different—and fascinating.

Britain received significant help from the United States. During World War II, British and American scientists collaborated on nuclear research under the Manhattan Project. Although the U.S. later restricted nuclear cooperation with the 1946 Atomic Energy Act, the two countries resumed close collaboration with the 1958 Mutual Defence Agreement. This allowed Britain access to U.S. nuclear designs and materials, including Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

France, on the other hand, pursued a more independent route. After feeling sidelined during the Suez Crisis and wary of relying on NATO, President Charles de Gaulle pushed for an autonomous nuclear force—what became known as the Force de frappe. While France didn’t receive formal assistance like Britain did, there’s evidence that the U.S. provided some indirect technical help in the 1970s, especially for France’s ballistic missile program.

So in short: Britain had a nuclear godparent in the U.S., while France insisted on going it alone—though not without a few quiet nudges along the way.

NPT (Nuclear Proliferation treaty) was opened in 1968 for signatures and many countries including Iran (During Shah's time) signed at that time. India, Pakistan and North Korea never signed NPT. Israel situation is as usual - Exceptional

Israel has never officially confirmed conducting a nuclear test, and it maintains a policy of deliberate ambiguity regarding its nuclear arsenal. However, there are a few notable claims and suspicions:

• 1963: Some reports suggest Israel may have conducted a small underground test around this time, though no conclusive evidence has ever surfaced.
• 1979 – The Vela Incident: This is the most widely cited case. A U.S. satellite detected a mysterious double flash over the South Atlantic, consistent with a nuclear explosion. While some analysts believe it was a joint Israeli-South African test, others argue it could have been a sensor malfunction. The U.S. government never officially confirmed it as a nuclear test.
• No Public Tests: Unlike other nuclear powers, Israel has never conducted a publicly acknowledged nuclear explosion, likely due to its small geographic size and strategic preference for secrecy.

So while Israel is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons—possibly developed as early as the late 1960s—it has never admitted to testing them, and no test has been definitively verified.

Iran threatened (and so "built" bomb) is no way different than any other country. In India, when I was growing up, there was not too much noise for Pakistan getting nuclear bomb (of course there will be noise of stealing from West). If they want to go for a misadventure, there will be collateral damage. that is nature of life. Even to this day, Pakistan claims of "War between Nuclear nations" narration to get some "cookies" from the West. Because it works and most probably it is related cold war dynamics in the West.
