Iran’s leaders have promised to destroy Israel in 30 minutes should Iran be attacked by the United States. Rest assured that Iran’s leaders (and proxy’s) will rue the day that they decide to lay a finger on Israel.

The ever-increasing Washington-Tehran tensions further deteriorated on June 20, when the Islamic Republic reported the downing of a US spy drone which Iran claims ventured into Iranian airspace. The White House, in turn, insisted that the downing took place over international waters.

Sputnik, July 3rd, 2019:

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has announced that the Jewish state is bracing itself for its possible military involvement in the escalation of relations between Iran and the US.

Addressing the Herzliya Conference on Tuesday, he claimed that “mistaken calculations by the [Iranian] regime” may bring about a “military conflagration” in the Middle East region.

“We must be prepared for this, and thus the State of Israel continues to devote itself to building up its military might for the event that it will have to respond to escalation scenarios,” Katz pointed out.

The remarks come after he told the Israel Army Radio that after its current uranium enrichment ramp-up, Iran is sliding toward a war in which it may suffer heavy losses.

The top Israeli diplomat pledged that the Jewish state would not “allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, even if it has to act alone on that”.

Katz also predicted a possible US-led “economic war” on Iran, which he argued would be successful for Washington despite the other world powers’ concerns.

This followed Mojtaba Zolnour, the chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy commission, warning in an interview with the Tehran-based Arabic language news TV network al-Alam that if the US attacks Iran, “only half an hour will remain of Israel’s lifespan”.

He was echoed by Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), who pledged that Iran would do its best to avoid a military conflict but that it will not think twice before retaliating in response to foreign aggression.

I wonder if they have been allowed to purchase the Bunker Buster bombs they will need to hit the nuclear facilities. I do know that the arch traitor obama refused to sell them to Israel. In addition Israel has its socialist traitors also undermining it so I wonder when someone, somewhere in the west will do something about them. It would be about time as all over the west the traitors are helping to destroy countries and only their negation will stop the slide.

An Israeli F-15e won’t be carrying a 4,637 lb. Guided Bomb Unit-28 from Israel to Iran without aerial refueling.

Yes, true
– Israel has her own C-130 [Samson] aircraft
– and they would have to be refueled en route form Israel to Iran
– or flown from a US or Saudi air base in the Gulf
– however Israeli military have previously said
– that Iran’s underground facilities can be neutralized
– by destroying all above-ground structures
– that support the underground system
– and they are right
– e.g., no air pumping system=no underground survival

I can’t imagine the Soddy Barbarians allowing IAF jets flown by the eternal enemy of islum to land in Soddy Barbaria. The muslum world would go apesh!t. Soddy Barbaria is the holiest land of muslums everywhere and muhamMAD the prophet for profit himself stated Jews and Christians shouldn’t be allowed anywhere in Soddy Barbaria. Kuwait might be problematic as well.

Can a KC130 fly fast enough to refuel a fully laden F15e (stall speed increases w/increasing payload)? Israel is seeking to buy the much faster Boeing KC-46 Pegasus aerial tanker. It’s possible their converted 707’s might be able to do the job.

I’m sure Iran only deploys their Russian SAM batteries to cover targets of strategic importance so there are probably vast areas of Iran that have no SAM coverage at all.

Iran “promised to destroy Israel in 30 minutes”
– this is the usual Iranian exaggeration and puffery
– since they lack nukes, the Mullahs mean a missile bombardment
– from southern Lebanon [Hezbollah]
– and that would definitely NOT destroy Israel
– because Israel has excellent target maps for S. Lebanon
– and a ‘proportional response’ to an obliterative missile attack
– would be an obliterative counter-attack of S. Lebanon
– and Iran

Iran plays its own game, making Western media and governments think they do not have nuclear devices. They have them and could use them. Israel has the means to stop Iran. Nothing happens outside God’s will.

Perhaps you are right
– simply having one nuke is not enough
– an therefore, if Iran has a few, they would not disclose that
– and not use them until they have more
– and although the delivery device problem is substantial
– Iran could just mount the simplest ‘gun-type mechanism’ [Little Boy]
– into an airliner body and fly it over the target, with suicide pilots
– however, there is no logical way that I can see
– that Iran would escape obliteration from an Israeli nuke counter-strike
– especially since Israel has nukes in her dolphin-class subs

This is a matter of survival and a preemptive nuclear strike is the only certain way to eliminate the high probability that Iran has nukes and will employ them against the US, Israel, and our allies.

In my opinion, if someone repeatedly threatens to obliterate you.
– then they cannot complain if they are the ones
– who get obliterated
– [this is just simple consequential logic]
– in Hiroshima, a Jesuit religious center survived that blast
– and upon interview, a Jesuit [German extraction] said
– that the Axis Powers had set out to obliterate the Allied Powers
– and therefore, Japan had no basis to complain
– about getting nuked

Israel, IMHO, cannot initiate such an attack. It would have to be the US. Iran has nukes and they will use them to annihilate Israel and the USA. They do not need ICBM to accomplish this. It is perilous situation. It requires great courage, and as one great man said: “extremism in the pursuit of liberty is no vice.” And, like Hiroshima, many will die but many more will live.

Days before JP was nuked the Potsdam declaration was broadcast to the island nation. JP’s response was equivocal and could in no way be construed as surrendering. JP didn’t even surrender after the USSR renounced their non-aggression pact w/JP. JP didn’t even surrender in the days following the Hiroshima bombing. The cabal of militarists who ran JP were fire eaters. Admiral Nagumo himself ordered an airstrike against the US after JP had surrendered and even though he wasn’t a pilot himself flew along for their final futile flight.

The thing is does Iran care if Israel destroys Southern Lebanon? After all Iran would still remain untouched.
The IAF F-16’s and F-15’s can’t reach Tehran from Israel while carrying any significant bomb load unless you’re planning on doing aerial refueling over enemy muslum states. Then there’s the fact Iran recently bought Russia’s most advanced SAM batteries (thanks Obama!). I don’t think Syria, Jordan or Iraq would be happy having IAF airstrikes flying over their airspace either.

“does Iran care if Israel destroys Southern Lebanon?”
– I don’t know, but Iran has put billions into Hezbollah
– and once they are gone, Israel would be much less threatened by Iran
– RE the overflight problems, Israel has this well-worked out
– Israel has secured overflight rights from the Saudis
– because of course the destruction of Iran
– will benefit the Saudis
– and note that obliteration is not the goal for Israel
– she only needs to deeply degrade Iran’s nuke capabilities
– and Israel has done similar attacks before [Parchin]
http://www.isisnucleariran.org/sites/detail/parchin/
– Iran was making nuclear bomb triggers there
– until a near-nuke sized explosion destroyed the facilities

The Soddy Barbarian bastards might allow Israeli airstrikes going outbound over their terrortory but what about coming back? How do you know the Soddy Barbarians won’t open up on the returning IAF fighter jets w/everything they have? Would you trust them not to? I cannot imagine Soddy Barbaria allowing Israeli jets to land on Soddy Barbarian terrortory.

Then there are the problems of:

1. flying over Jordan and/or Egypt
2. the additional fuel requirements of hooking south then east.

All true
– but Israel has figured out how to do this
– their military admit that it will not be easy
– and boots on ground may be needed in some cases
– but Israel can do it if they choose
– I believe that the Parchin explosion in 2014
– [a major Iran nuke research site]
– that produced a big bright flash mushroom cloud
– and blew out windows 15 KM away
– was done by Israel
https://www.jpost.com/Breaking-News/Report-Two-dead-after-explosion-in-Iranian-military-facility-378166
– and since Parchin, Israel has the F-35
– and Trump-authorized refueling aircraft

There is a high probability that Iran already has nukes and they have said time and time again they will annihilate Israel. They are also directly responsible for the killing of at least 2500 American and allied soldiers and an untold number of others in Afghanistan and Syria and Yemen. A ground war cannot be tolerated,leaving a premptivenucler strike to only realistic alternative.

Israel’s intended strike focuses on limiting Iranian nuke development
– rather than country obliteration
– not clear what US intentions are
– but WWII doctrine focused on
– ‘destroying the enemies’ capacity to wage war’
– this was not ‘nice’
– and it included bombing strategic cites
– but the strategy worked, leaving lots of Germany untouched
– and German war refugees ran towards Allied lines
– and they ran away from Russian lines

A dime to a dollar that Iran already has nukes (purchased from someone..North Korea ??). It must be ten years now that we have heard that Iran will have Nukes “in 18 months”, “in 12 months”, “in 24 months”. Yes, I know Israel has caused them all kinds of grief with Stuxnet, taking out some of their top nuclear people etc. and that has slowed them tremendously, but there are still nukes missing from way back when.
I think they are just building up their stockpile because it will take more than one or two nukes to achieve the world domination they have in mind.
I am so happy that I won’t be around to see what God has planned for this sinful world…”For in My jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken. Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; so that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and ALL things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at MY presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground”. Thus will I magnify Myself, and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord”. Ezekial 38…19-23
That Scripture describes a GLOBAL EARTHQUAKE, and that is only a couple of sentences. I challenge you to read the whole chapter AND prepare to meet your maker. He is waiting for you to call on Him. His name is Jesus and He will answer you, if you are serious about knowing Him. (I said ‘knowing Him’, not knowing “about Him”).

The Iranians should look carefully at the prevailing winds which are West to East, if they were to use nuclear weapons against Israel the fall out would be coming right back at them. On the other hand nuclear fall out from an attack on Iran would not fall on Israel. Of course the Iranians leadership most likely have no concern for their own people

All true
– Tyrants generally hate their own people
– and they regard them as parasites
– who have be fed and housed
– tyrants always grab all the power and money
– and subjugate the citizenry
– therefore, fewer citizens = easier subjugation
– Venezuela has lost 3.5 million since the tyrants took over
– Lenin liquidated 10% of the Russian population

Anyone who ever believed the mad mullahs stopped their weapons-grade uranium enrichment program is a fool. Given the provocations including the threat to destroy Israel, a preemptive nuclear strike must be made against all of Iran’s major targets. Iranian capacity to wage war needs to be preemptively annihilated and the leadership eradicated.

Most all of Israel’s neighboring states are Sunni, I don’t think they would go to war for Iran and Syria is already in rough shape after fighting a civil war. Soddy Barbaria is in a proxy war w/Iran in Yemen (Sunnis vs. Shitites).
