Israel is ready to strike Iran, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Thursday, as tensions between the two countries continue to mount following a deadly drone attack against a civilian commercial ship in the Gulf.
The new government in the post-Netanyahu Israel is really coming out pretty strong, much stronger than I had expected them to be. In fact, this new Israeli class of leaders may just do something that Bibi threatened many times to do but never did. Strike Iran to shut down their nuclear capabilities for at least a generation. Oh those wars and rumours of wars.
“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:6-8 (KJB)
Of course, this is long overdue and Iran has had over 10 years now since signing their pacts with Russia, who as Ezekiel 39 tells us, will step in once the fur starts flying. Israel attacking Iran now will only accelerate the end times timeline which, from my perspective, is a good thing. I am in favor of all Bible prophecy coming to pass, the negative as well as the positive, because if God said it, that’s good enough for me. I’m all in, and hopefully soon, all up.
Gantz says Israel is ready to strike Iran to stop its aggression and nuclear program
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Speaking to Ynet, Gantz was asked by Attila Somfalvi if the Jewish State was ready to strike Tehran, to which he answered “yes”, adding that the Islamic Republic was a threat to the country, the Middle East, and the entire world. Israel considers Iran’s nuclear program as the number one concern and though Tehran has always denied seeking nuclear weapons, it is believed that they are continuing to develop the capabilities to produce a nuclear arsenal and to make ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
“Iran is an international and regional problem. The world witnessed one example on Friday,” Gantz said referring to the deadly attack against the Mercer Street tanker that was struck by a suicide drone. “This could happen to anyone,” he said.
With new Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi taking over on Thursday from moderate Hassan Rouhani, Gantz said he could lead Iran to even more extreme regional and security policies.
“I’m telling the world, pay attention. It’s coming.”
The defense minister warned that Israel has to continue to develop its abilities to cope with multiple fronts because “this is the future.”
“Iran seeks to pose a multi-front challenge to Israel and is building up its forces in Lebanon and Gaza, deploying militias in Syria and Iraq and maintaining its supporters in Yemen. Iran is a global and regional problem and a challenge to Israel,” Gantz said.
Israel, he said, is dealing with the Iranian threat in an active manner against its proxies in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza.
“At the end of the day, when a Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative in Gaza fires on Israel, he does it with the support of Iran. We know this and are dealing with it on a number of levels, in various means and in several different places,” he said, adding that Israel will continue to act.
Speaking with diplomats from UN Security Council member states on Wednesday, Gantz warned that Iran had “violated all JCPOA guidelines and is only around 10 weeks from acquiring weapons-grade materials needed to build a nuclear weapon. Now is the time for deeds – words are not enough. It is time for diplomatic, economic, and even military actions – otherwise, the attacks will continue,” he warned. READ MORE
