Revenge sweet, not fattenng

The media are reporting “unnamed Western intelligence sources” as saying the Iranians are going to strike the Israelis soon-- as in yesterday.

Well, they didn't attack yesterday and they're not going to do that tomorrow either.

As I've said before, Iran will take the time to prepare and to coordinate with Hezbollah, the Houthis and the Iraq axis of resistance.

Given the continuing and worsening economic downturn in the US which I and many others predicted a long time ago—a September Surprise that was no surprise at all -- a more or less absent American government—and the bedlam that constitutes the American electoral process—time is on Iran’s side.

It is going to be harder and harder for the US to get involved.

So what were the media bleating about?

Quite simply, the Israelis wanted an immediate response-- and went out of their way to plant the story they had set up a plot to kill Hamas’s chief negotiator two months ago-- the ultimate humiliation.

They didn’t actually plant a bomb-- just the story.

It is also interesting that Iran has not contradicted the story. I guess because it makes the Israelis look bad. As in: “What do you expect from genocidal maniacs?”

In an interview with Judge Napolitano, Alistair Crooke has provided credible evidence that Haniyeh was killed by a projectile fired from outside his home. No bomb inside.

The idea was no doubt to generate a kneejerk emotional retaliatory response that would come without proper preparation and safeguards and which the Israelis thought they could handle. The Iranians would just come in swinging and , with US help, get clobbered--while the Israelis unleashed their settler militias in the West Bank to rape and kill.

Hezbollah?

The Israelis struck a civilian residential building killing a lot innocent people and one a more or less retired Hezbollah commander.

Things are turning out differently from what the Zionists had planned. This sucker punch did not connect as it should have.

Russia’s Shoigu turned up in Teheran to present his credentials to the new president and probably also sign the Russia Iran Defense Treaty.

At the same time, Russian transport aircraft have been busy delivering EW systems-- and who knows what else?

There is talk of S400 and nuclear capable Iskander K missiles.

But Iran has competent AD missiles, as well as hypersonic weapons— so perhaps other things.

The point is that no one really knows. But…the US has a lot of vulnerable bases an naval assets in the Middle East.

What’s an aircraft carrier between friends?

Given the fact that Israel now has a limited supply of interceptor missiles, a well-targeted coordinated saturation attack in the next couple of weeks will do a lot of damage.

The EW equipment will also facilitate attacks not just by Iran but also by the Axis of Resistance on American forces in Syria and by the Houthis on British and American naval assets in the Red Sea .

This equipment will limit the usefulness of British aviation assets in Cyprus and Jordanian assets as well.

The Russians will have operators to mange the EW operations So you can expect battle-tested competence.

Of course it takes time to prepare. But the longer Iran waits, the greater the psychological pressure on the Americans.

Payback time.
