Editor’s Note: There are those who believe Iran is bluffing, that they aren’t really in a position to get into a war with Israel or anyone else. Without Russia’s help, Iran would need to turn to someone else in the shadows if they really want to get involved. That could be China, who has already expressed sentiment against Israel by saying they’ve already gone too far in their response to Hamas. It could happen. Either way, this is an important geopolitical moment in history. In fact, it could be prophecy unfolding before our eyes. We’ll see. Here’s Michael Snyder…
(The Economic Collapse Blog)—The crisis in the Middle East has taken another very ominous turn. Iran is threatening to get directly involved in the conflict, and that should deeply alarm all of us. For a long time, I have been specifically warning my readers that an apocalyptic conflict between Israel and Iran would be coming. Sadly, now we are literally on the verge of seeing that happen. Both nations possess weapons of immense destructive power, and there is going to be so much death and destruction in the days ahead.
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to signal that a massive military offensive in Gaza is imminent…
Benjamin Netanyahu has today vowed to ‘demolish’ Hamas with Israeli troops on the Gaza border poised to attack at any moment.
Israel’s armed forces is ‘ready’ to defeat the ‘bloodthirsty monsters’, the Israeli Prime Minister said, with a land, sea, and air offensive imminent.
Israeli tanks and troops have gathered on the border and are carrying out simulations ready to spring an invasion of Gaza at any time after Hamas terrorists killed 1,300 Israelis in a surprise attack last Saturday.
But if Israel goes in, Hezbollah has already indicated that they will almost certainly enter the conflict.
Of course Hezbollah would only do that if they were directed to do so by Iran, and according to Axios Iran is now warning “that it will have to intervene if the Israeli operation in Gaza continues”…
Iran sent a message to Israel on Saturday stressing that it does not want further escalation in the Hamas-Israel war, but that it will have to intervene if the Israeli operation in Gaza continues, two diplomatic sources with knowledge of the situation told Axios.
Wow.
So is this really it?
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has publicly stated that his nation “has its red lines”, and that “Iran will have to respond” if Israel conducts a major offensive in Gaza…
But Amir-Abdollahian stressed that Iran has its red lines. He said that if the Israeli military operation continues — and especially if Israel follows through on its promise of a ground offensive in Gaza — Iran will have to respond, according to the sources.
In addition, Amir-Abdollahian is also threatening America with “heavy losses” if the U.S. military decides to intervene…
He accused the United States of coming forward “to preserve the statue and puppet of Israel”.
“If the scope of the war expands, heavy losses will befall America as well.”
I could be wrong, but I don’t expect Iran to get directly involved in the conflict right away.
But I do believe that Hezbollah will jump into the war fairly soon after Israeli forces enter Gaza, and Syria could also be pulled in quite rapidly as well.
This would especially be true if the IDF keeps bombing Syria’s largest airports…
On Saturday, Israel allegedly launched an air strike against Syria’s Aleppo Airport. The Syrian government confirmed the attack and said, “The Israeli enemy carried out an air attack from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea, targeting Aleppo International Airport, which led to material damage to the airport and it being out of service.”
The reason why the Israelis are bombing airports in Syria is because that is one of the primary ways that Iran gets weapons to Hezbollah…
Referring to this development, Joel Rayburn, Director of the American Centre for Levant Studies, wrote, “Repeated Israeli strikes to disable Damascus and Aleppo airports are, to my mind, a strong indication that 1) the Iranian regime is trying to move strategic weapons to or via Syria to open a northern front and 2) the Israelis are determined to preempt that.”
The Israeli official re-shared this post, stating that Iranians are engaged in arms transfers.
Syria’s Damascus and Aleppo airports are known as transit points for Iranian arms sent to Hezbollah, a powerful Islamist militant group in both Syria and Lebanon.
We are so close to a major regional war.
The U.S. and other western powers are trying to keep Iran and Hezbollah out of the conflict, but it just isn’t working.
On Sunday, there was more fighting along Israel’s northern border yet again…
A Hezbollah spokeswoman, Rana Sahili, says today’s increase in the intensity of the exchanges between Israel and the Lebanese terror group doesn’t indicate Hezbollah has decided to fully enter into the Hamas-Israel war.
The fighting on the border is “only skirmishes” and represents a “warning,” she says.
Hezbollah is not ready to formally go to war just yet.
But once the Israelis make their move in Gaza, expect Hezbollah to pull the trigger.
And once that happens, the Biden administration will have a decision to make.
If Hezbollah starts firing thousands of missiles into Israel, I think that the Biden administration will order strikes against Hezbollah.
The two aircraft carriers that have been ordered into the eastern Mediterranean Sea have been sent there to deter Hezbollah and Iran, but they will take action if it becomes necessary…
The Pentagon has ordered a second carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean Sea and is sending Air Force fighter jets to the region as Israel prepares to expand its Gaza operations, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement Saturday.
The US warships are not intended to join the fighting in Gaza or take part in Israel’s operations, but the presence of two of the Navy’s most powerful vessels is designed to send a message of deterrence to Iran and Iranian proxies in the region, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The movements are “part of our effort to deter hostile actions against Israel or any efforts toward widening this war following Hamas’s attack on Israel,” Austin said in the statement.
As I have discussed previously, I hope that those carriers are being kept at a safe distance, because Hezbollah does have missiles that are capable of sinking an aircraft carrier.
As this conflict evolves, we are going to see images on our television screens that are going to absolutely shock all of us.
So many people are going to die, and our world will be permanently changed by the horrors that we will soon witness.

This is the result of the election being stolen by the communists.
True. This war is the result of a stolen election and Democrat incompetence.
Yes, this could be the “Israel surrounded by enemies” as warned in the Bible.
Psalm 83 war?
they’ve been surrounded by enemies since 1947/8 and yet no biblical prophesy has come to light… The current crop of enemies are a shadow of the previous ones….seems the triggers are going the wrong way for you.
Just as President Trump, surrounded by enemies,was and is!
I don’t believe China wants to risk war in fact I believe they will retake Taiwan by capturing them politically as they did our WH. They will play the same tacit role they played with Russia. It is too soon for Iran, they don’t have the bomb yet. This is Israel drawing the US in to decapitate Iran before they get the bomb. I have no idea about Lebanon aside from Israel laying it to waste if they dare cross. The timing is off, this is all Israel brinkmanship.
God was busy so he sent Reagan and Eisenhower carrier groups?
Iran won’t personally fight until Russia comes to take a spoil in the West Bank…
Ezekiel said so 2500 years ago in chapters 38 and 39…
So sorry but Ukraine has seen to it that Russia will be severely hobbled for the next decade or so depending on when someone eliminates Putin.
Um, excuse me but if you think Ukraine is beating Russia then you might be reality challenged…
Time after time, the US govt dupes its citizens to support another war where we shouldn’t be.
The US supported the Shah of Iran who was a murderous dictator.
Vietnam-South Vietnam voted to join North Vietnam. The US threw out the vote, gave money to their puppet leader over there and he conscripted the young South Vietnam men to fight a fight they didn’t want to fight.
USA citizens got duped with the Afghanistan War. Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan. In 2011 where he had been living in a castle for at least 6 years under protection of the Pakistan government. So….we left Afghanistan in 2021?
Iraq War. Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Ukraine. Another coup orchestrated by the US in 2014. Corrupt country.
Nordstrom pipeline
Now this. To see what I mean, do a search for “world’s largest open air prison”. Pick out 2 or 3 articles and read.
In WWII about 1500 people died per hour during the conflict. I say that because the world is about as peaceful as it ever has been lately. Your little conflicts are meaningless in the wider view of reality. Notice the shift in people’s attitudes it’s become so isolationist, how’d that work out for us in the 1930s??? Now we not only cannot participate in conflict we can no longer support them, this is myopia/madness of the first degree. You do know that dictators/totalitarians love Neville Chamberlain like dupes like you…right? As to supporting the Shah of Iran, sure the his replacements are much much worse. Your history of Vietnam is faulty. Afghanistan was way more than about bin Laden, it was about his enablers the Tailban and they never left. Iraq had WMDs, I have dead Kurds to prove it and no you do not get to define what a WMD is. We didn’t find them because Hussein sent them to Syria under the guise of relieve aid. The Ukrainian coup was going to happen with or without US involvement, Ukraine is not nearly as corrupt as Russia, China or even the US, not even close but they have been leading you around by the nose so that is your focus…stupidity at its best. The Nordstrom pipeline is something I would like to see one shred of proof other than some poorly written Tom Clancy type novelette written by some has been attention whore. As to this, terrorists need to be eliminated and blaming the victim is are pathetic way to be.
We know Iraq had WMD’s because we sold them to them.
You sure have a lot of inconsistent claims.
This would be the opportunity to split the US. and kick Democrat cities out of the country to become their own independent city-states.
What??? Then we would have our own Hamas…
The mentally unstable among them would cross over and attack us…
And there’s a lot of them…
They would spend all their time hunting and eating each other then ultimately begging to join the Second America Republic. We would allow that as territories with 50 year special conditions.
Yes I see this as one possible outcome of a Second America Revolution.
That is how it already is in Europe.
Why don’t we strategically import Conservatives from blue states to blue “cities” in red states so they can be morally and fiscally reformed, which would be so reprehensible to liberals they would be incentivized to move to a blue state….a win/win. Most Southern states are actually a conservative majority, but citizens get railroaded by big city politics they hate. In Tennessee, please overrun Memphis and Nashville. In Texas, please overrun Dallas, Austin, and Houston. In Georgia, if they would just overrun Atlanta, the whole state of Georgia would be cleaned up. And if an earthquake would separate Southern California from the mainland and float it out as an island, we could let it become its own independent nation of debauchery for thugs, drug addicts, corrupt politicians, and militant groups. That would be like God giving America a good scrubbing that might stay the wrath if God in filthy America’s well-deserved judgment.
Why has the United States and the Europeans allowed Hezbollah to “have missiles that are capable of sinking an aircraft carrier”?!
In fact they do not have that capability. They can’t hit a stationary military target in Israel and they are going to hit a moving aircraft carrier with a ring of defensive vessels around it, sure that will happen.
That would be the Russian S-550 air to sea missile. And no one ALLOWED them to have it.
Time to destroy Hama’s.. All of them.
Israel plans on keeping the heights after they invade it, the plan is to get the USA in a war with Iran while Israel blows up the dome of the rock to rebuild their 3rd temple as the book of Revelations has told us. All the Palestinians will be in even worse conditions as they are all living in the South. Prophecy people follow Bible prophecy.
Iran has been walking back their rhetoric lately so sorry that you’ll have to call off WWIII. What is it with these so called conservatives and their fixation on WWIII. Trust me no one will see it coming when it hits although many will take credit for it and they’ll be lying.
Iran will lose, they could not win the Iraq Iran war, They’ll get owned by Israel. They love to saber rattle but their sabers are not as sharp as their words. Iran has literally been conquered time and time again.
Good comment . Agree.
Well, Israel did send tanks and Iron Dome missile systems to Ukraine making Russia it’s enemy. If you poke the bear, you get bit. I have little doubt this is why Iran was allowed to join BRICS. Making Russia it’s enemy is the stupidest thing Israel could’ve ever done. And here, those Jews think they’re so smart. Besides, they were in on it, unless you believe The Mosad really was surprised by all this. Why would they allow this? To get the Ukraine war and the Hunter Biden scandal off the news, and it did that. Think about it. Israel is the liberal puppet of the U.S.. They poisoned their own people with the vax, just like the United States did, and they’re lying to cover up all the deaths, just like the United States is doing. The Jews, like America politicians, are evil people.
ALL OUR ENEMIES are seeing ALL OF THE USELESS ‘ACTIONS’ (term used loosely), they are CONSPIRING as I write. I have written years ago that CHINA, RUSSIA and IRAN were our true enemies…now there are so many more that see and believe “NOW IS THE TIME”.
WE are unprepared.
WE are unaware.
WE HAVE NO YOUNG TO FIGHT.
We have no leadership.
NEWS is mostly a LIE.
We are very nearly NOT A COUNTRY any longer, but a morass of “SOME PEOPLE DID SOMETHING”.
Train wrecks. Food processing facilities blowing up, catching fire. A COMPLETELY OPEN UNVETTABLE BORDER.
I do not ‘like’ Donald John Trump- BUT I LOVED HIM AS PRESIDENT and cannot stand the awful sight of his RIGGED-ELECTION replacement WHO ‘won’ FROM HIS BASEMENT and WITHOUT real DEBATING?
R I G G E D I T W A S.
What top military secrets has Trump sold to Iran?
sir, read your piece today. here are a few points you need to consider: God’s Word says anti-christ will make a deal with israel, something that brings a 3.5-year peace; that means israel is clobbering some enemy, perhaps having used small tactical nukes; at the same time, the international players will likely be on the sidelines, bitching non-stop against israel — perhaps even threatening to intervene militarily; and finally, all ‘cultural’ indicators — gay marriage, multi-gender abominations, lawlessness, etc. — clearly demonstrate we are, yes, on the cusp. so, this indeed could be “it.” thank you.
