Israel vowed Friday to launch a full-scale military attack against Iran if its terror group Hezbollah joins the ongoing war, according to a report.
Nir Barkat, Israel’s Minister of Economy, warned that it would “eliminate Hezbollah,” their proxy terror group in Lebanon, if it follows through on threats to throw its military support behind Hamas.
“The plan of Iran is to attack Israel on all fronts. If we find they intend to target Israel, we will not just retaliate to those fronts, but we will go to the head of the snake, which is Iran,” Barkat told the Daily Mail.

The destruction of Iran should be the goal of every country that loves peace.
It sounds strange to say that countries that want peace should destroy another country, but the best way to have peace is to take out countries that survive by hate and the financing and backing of terrorists.

If you don't have "your affairs in order", it might be a good time to start. If Israel goes down, a lot of the world is going with it. Israel will make it happen, American citizens will watch it happen, and our government will ask "what happened?".

Israel is not a country that utilizes threats and bravado to intimidate. What they say, they will undoubtedly do! Israel may very well be the second country in the world to use nuclear weapons on their enemies. We can thank Biden’s and Obama’s policies of appeasement and pallets of cash for what is about to play out. And by the way, Joe did not go to Israel as a show of support for the nation, he went there to threaten and coerce Netanyahu concerning their upcoming ground military action in Gaza.

I honestly believe valerie jarrett and susan rice are the instigators of this potential Har Məgīddō.

"The White House is already in talks about deploying its military force in the increasing chance Hezbollah joins the war, insiders told Axios."
I think "Which side will they want us to fight on?" is a legitimate question, given this Administration's propensity to side with tyranny and against freedom.

There's a difference between vowing and doing. They normally back off.

Please, Israel, do it this time. In all other wars, pressure mounts to "not hurt the poor Palestinians" from all directions.
Please, DO wipe them all out. This is your only hope for peace.
Sadly, too many whiny Euroweenies in Israel, and they almost certainly will, again, not go far enough in cleaning the vermin out.

And meanwhile, we have four heads of state, one with advanced Parkinson's and cancer (Putie), one who is a chain smoker while recently recovering from a brain aneurysm (Xi), another with advancing dementia (biden the cheater), and the fourth who has worsening heart problems requiring a pacemaker (Netanyahu). What could possibly go wrong in the middle east.

Israel has nukes. I hope Iran realizes where they are pointed at.

In one day, Israel could destroy Iran's oil producing capabilities, it has only 4 refineries. with no ability to buy influence or produce any income they'd be finished even as a regional power.

Like our brave leaders in Washington, I'm betting the mullahs in Terhan, if they're even in Terhan, have bunkers to hide in. They're not worried about the people. As long as they're safe and living high, everyone else is just cannon fodder.

The actual policy of Israel is unknown. Anyone can say anything. Since Israel has tactical nuclear weapons, no one is going to go out of their way to start a full scale war. Leaders stay in power by engaging in continuous conflicts to divert the people from their domestic failures.

Iran has an island, Kharg, in the Persian Gulf devoted to oil processing and export. If the Israelis decided to attack this place, the explosions and flames would be visible on the moon. Iranians are Muslims and stupid, but they are not THAT stupid to put such an asset at risk. The Mahdi will remain in his well postponing his resurrection for another 14 hundred years.

You have got to give the Israelis credit. They've got watermelons. I don't doubt for a moment they could decapitate this snake if they so chose.
