I'd add that Iran has a lot on his hands already, internal struggles and the infighting within Islam between Sunni and Shia. They can ill afford an open confrontation with Israel (or anyone else) at this time.

I do not questioning your expertise on this matter.

What I think-in my opinion-The architect behind this assault on Israel has Iran written all over it. In the end I think Israel will punish Iran-How I don't know.

I'd love to see Israel bring war criminal charges against sleepy joe for funding Hamas via releasing those $6 billion to Iran. Wouldn't really care if the charges stuck or not, just worth it for some legal payback. Israel could even just announce they were debating bringing charges against sleepy joe and that would make me happy.

I'm surprised the democrats haven't blamed this barbary on President Trump yet for his recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

I really wanna see "The Squad" interviewed regarding this attack.

I see you drink the koolaid propaganda. Not one cent of that money has been released yet, and it will not go to Iran directly when it is.

More than 600 Israelis have been killed in attacks from Gaza since Saturday, the government says - and some Hamas fighters are still on Israeli territory, an Israeli military spokesman says
It's believed that as many as 100 Israeli soldiers and civilians were kidnapped when Palestinian militants crossed the border and raided communities
Retaliatory Israeli air strikes have killed at least 370 people in the Gaza Strip, with 2,200 wounded, Palestinian officials say
The family of a British man serving in the Israeli military, Nathanel Young, say he was killed in an attack; two other Britons are also missing
The US has announced more support for Israel by sending munitions and boosting forces in the region, while British PM Rishi Sunak says the UK is one of Israel's "strongest allies"
The wave of attacks launched by the Hamas militant group on Saturday morning was the biggest escalation in decades between the two sides.

The Pentagon will send ships and aircraft closer to Israel, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced Sunday, demonstrating a major show of force a day after Hamas militants launched attacks across southern Israel.

The closest U.S. Navy assets are the aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford and its carrier strike group, which is currently deployed to the Mediterranean Sea.

The Biden administration is also expected to announce the transfer of additional weapons to Israel.

I don't have much of an expertise on it, don't worry. It's a (slightly) educated guess.

I agree, if an other nation is behind it it's most likely Iran. Russia, as I said before, might also be behind it if someone there had a very stupid day, but overall I don't think that's likely - but I also thought it wasn't likely they'd attack Ukraine.

Iran is Hezbollah.

mapuc · 10-08-23, 10:10 AM

^ I thought that Hezbollah was supported by Syria and Hamas was supported by Iran

Latest news here is:

Rockets fired from Lebanon
Hezbollah has openly given their support to Hamas
Israel has declared war.

Edit
Made a search and it looks like Iran and Syria is supporting both terror group
End edit
