Israel-Palestine-Jordan
‘The [Israeli] attack on Iran will be something that has never been seen in the Middle East.’
[X] This statement from former Israeli Air Force General Amos Yadlin underscores just how high the stakes are as Israel prepares to respond to Iran’s latest provocations. When he says the response will be "something that has never been seen in the Middle East," it signals the unprecedented scale and precision of what may come. Israel, with one of the most advanced air forces and military capabilities in the world, is clearly ready to demonstrate its strength, especially against Iran’s escalating threats.

Iran has continually acted as a destabilizing force in the region through proxy groups and direct attacks. For Israel, this isn’t just about retaliation; it’s about delivering a decisive response that will serve as a clear warning to those who believe they can threaten Israel’s sovereignty and safety without consequence. The international community should be aware of how serious the situation has become.

As Israel prepares to act, allies like the U.S. should offer essential support, especially with intelligence and technological aid, but avoid direct involvement. Israel has the capability and resolve to carry out this operation and make it clear that any aggression will be met with unmatched strength. This upcoming response will likely redefine what deterrence looks like in the Middle East, sending a message that Israel will not stand by while its security is under threat.

#1  EMP attack? Exploding pagers was simply a warning of things to come.
Posted by: Besoeker || 10/08/2024 1:14 Comments || Top||


#3  Probably less devastating than what the Mongols did.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 10/08/2024 7:28 Comments || Top||

#4  Considering there was an 'earthquake' in Iran Sunday that had all the seismic characteristics of a nuke test, there's a lot of "not seen" going on.

#5  ^ 4.5, 5km deep?
That's a lot of boring.

#6  Allegedly their last attempt to execute an EMP attack failed

#7  #3 Not Tamerlane?

#8  That was the first thought that went through my head: EMP. There's been lot's of talk in the darker web corners about the jews and their e-bombs.

Quote:

An Israeli security expert reveals:

If Israel feels truly threatened by Iran, it will react unconventionally with the unique weapon at its disposal – for the first time ever in history, an electromagnetic bomb (E-bomb), a new type of bomb will be used to drop on Tehran and other central areas of Iran , in this action – Israel will return the Islamic Republic of Iran “back to the Stone Age”.

The meaning of this is – the elimination of the communication systems used by land, sea, air, civil and military transport, along with all the economic services and economic collapse of the state.

Hindustan Time asked its readers the question: was the iranian seismic event an underground nuke test

#9  A small EMP generator is not hard to make. I have plans for one. Making it directional is the hard part.

#10  #7 Tamer the Lame was a family feud among Muslims. The Mongols were infidels who did border crossing in a big way.

#11  ^😅

#12  I've read something about two old Mid-East cities, Sodom and Gomorrah.

Maybe some kind of replay is in the works.

An Act of War, One Year On
We didn't have Mark Steyn here for a long time
[SteynOnline] Today is the first anniversary of the worst one-day slaughter of Jews since the Second World War, and the start of what John Derbyshire calls the Israel-Iran War, on multiplying fronts.

There will be many observances of October 7th today. You might think that, if one's principal concern is the "disproportionate" nature of the Israeli reprisals, one might schedule the protest marches for the first anniversary of the Zionist Entity's counter-attacks, its first strikes on Gaza. Instead, in almost every major city across the west, the big parades are happening on the anniversary of October 7th - which risks giving the unfortunate impression that what they're really commemorating (indeed, celebrating) is the big pile of Jew corpses, plus the attendant hostage-taking, baby-burning, mutilations, decapitations and industrial-scale gang-rape.

Four weeks from US Election "Day", the Democrat candidate for president is disinclined to be caught on camera expressing any public support for Israel lest it cost her Michigan. She seems pretty confident that American Jews will vote for her anyway, even as the monsters their party has incubated have made their feelings plain on every university campus you've ever heard of. The pitiful rationalisations of wealthy, assimilated Jews in the Germany of ninety years ago are recycled even more pitifully by lifelong Jewish Democrats on the Upper West Side: This will pass.

It won't. For western Jewry, the electoral arithmetic is brutal - in the US, in Canada, Britain, France and beyond. Here are the scenes from my hometown, as described by "journalist" Samira Mohyeddin:

Tens of thousands marching in Toronto to mark one year of Israel’s relentless bombardment and genocide in Gaza. I can’t see the beginning or end of the procession.

...It is a melancholy fact that His Majesty's Constabulary, from Ottawa to London to Sydney, has been hollowed out by Islamic appeasers. Among the general public, a big chunk of the western left is turned on by the bloodlust of Islam; a significant portion of the western right, on the other hand, increasingly blames Jews for transforming their nations into semi-Islamic dumps.

...The Jewish state's present international isolation will worsen in the years ahead. Then again, their prospects are not as grim as, say, Canada's. Although many questions remain about how October 7th was permitted to happen, the Zionist Entity appears to have recovered its mojo in recent weeks, knocking off Hizb'allah bigwigs on a daily basis and ensuring that the footsoldiers no longer feel safe carrying any pocket gizmos.
