Russia & Iran forge military compact as Iran & Hezbollah vow massive attacks on Israel’s northern tier. Here’s the latest.
Are we heading towards another war between Israel and Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terror movement in Lebanon? Tensions are rapidly rising. Israeli intelligence indicates that Iran and Hezbollah have been planning a series of major attacks against civilians along Israel’s northern border. Now, Israel appears to have taken pre-emptive action, killing an Iranian general and several of his top operatives in an airstrike. Iran and Hezbollah are vowing revenge.
Beirut (AFP) - An Israeli strike on Syria killed an Iranian general, Tehran confirmed Monday, as thousands of supporters of Lebanon's Hezbollah gathered to bury one of six fighters killed in the same raid.
Iran and Russia signed an agreement Tuesday to expand military ties in a visit to Tehran by the Russian defense minister.
Sergei Shoigu, in remarks carried by Russian news agencies, said Moscow wants to develop a "long-term and multifaceted" military relationship with Iran. He said that the new agreement includes expanded counter-terrorism cooperation, exchanges of military personnel for training purposes and an understanding for each country's navy to more frequently use the other's ports.
Iran's Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan urged greater cooperation as a means of opposing American ambitions in the region. Moscow and Tehran have staunchly supported Syrian President Bashar Assad throughout Syria's civil war, while Washington advocates regime change and supports rebel groups.
"Iran and Russia are able to confront the expansionist intervention and greed of the United States through cooperation, synergy and activating strategic potential capacities," Dehghan said. "As two neighbors, Iran and Russia have common viewpoints toward political, regional and global issues."
"The Revolutionary Guard is committed to the annihilation of the Zionist regime," Iranian media quoted the general as saying.
Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, the commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) warned on Tuesday that Israel could expect a "destructive" response for its alleged role in firing at a military convoy in Syria's Quneitra on Sunday.
srael’s army went on high alert along the northern border Monday as the country braced for a possible retaliation from Lebanese terror group Hezbollah a day after an airstrike killed six of the movement’s operatives.
“The IDF is prepared, tracking all developments, and ready to act as needed,” Gantz announced. “This statement is not simply a speech — it’s a matter of real operational preparedness.”

“The experience of the past shows that the resistance current will give a crushing response to the Zionist regime’s terrorist moves with revolutionary determination and in due time and place,” Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC)
As SHEEPLE are INTENTIONALLY distracted with BS, war drums beat in Israel
Did you see the republicans stand up when Obama talked about going after ISIS in Iraq and Syria? That's something they all agreed on. War economy world-wide. Create the problem and arm the other side. When the other side becomes the problem, fund the solution. Until the solution becomes the problem. The people wonder why peace can never be obtained. The media explains it to them to fit the narrative.

I do find it hard to believe that Iran and Russia would coordinate attacks along Israel's border. It makes no sense. What is the objective? In war the goal is never simply to kill people. That is a means to an end. Therefore it seems possible that this is a lie meant to garner support for another war, or escalation of tension, by the Israel and maybe the US. I just don't think Iran or Russia are that stupid. They would not undertake military actions that have absolutely no point, knowing that this will cause retaliatory strikes.

Why isn't this bigger news here if TPTB want the American people to back and support Israel? That is always spoken about how much support we offer to them, you would think they want their people in their corner as we gather up to reinforce the Israel people, no? I don't understand why this isn't bigger news?

Here's a thought...maybe because it's nothing significant..maybe because we, the rest of the world, don't give a damn anymore who kills who over there, maybe because we don't care about every minor move they make over there.
We've all got better, more important things to worry about then what Israel and it's neighbors are doing.

When WW3 will start it will be triggered by Israel.
No matter how it will end, there is always the Samson Option.
Hopefully, in a balanced world, if the US can't make his mind about his own interst, Russia has the capacities to prevent this from happening.
