Looks like Biden might want to consider his one-word commands.
After all, when he was asked about his views regarding an Iranian attack on Israel, he gave rather uninspiring advice.
“Don’t,” Biden remarked flatly.
Well, that was forceful.
Naturally, Iran accurately assessed Biden’s weakness and attacked Israel anyway. Biden’s response was to effectively tell Israel, “don’t” in terms of a strike back against Iran.
And, naturally, Israel blew of Biden’s bizarre command.
After all, who told the United States, “don’t,” anytime there has ever been an attack on its own interests?
Furthermore, Israel also chose a few rather strategic locations to hit in Iran, including a facility at Isfahan, which operates three small Chinese-supplied research reactors.
China’s presence in Iran raises even more questions as to why Xi received a hero’s welcome in California, not to mention a personal visit from Governor Gavin Gruesome in his homeland, but that’s another story for another day.
According to Andrew Borene, who serves as the Executive Director of threat intelligence firm Flashpoint, it’s rather obvious that Iran and Israel are soldiering on while Biden merely squawks in the background.
“It appears that Israel and Iran are now engaged in a very dangerous game of bilateral brinkmanship … The kinetic strikes by Israel into Iranian territory could have been meant to demonstrate a resolve on Israel’s part to engage with Iran in a tit-for-tat, possibly as a limited demonstration that Israeli precision strike technology can reach into the heart of Iran’s most sensitive military programmes,” Borene declared.
Indeed, they are.
A very dangerous game of brinkmanship … which was surely not helped by Biden releasing multiple billions to Iran just before the October 7 attacks.
While Biden claimed the billions would only be used for “humanitarian” purposes, Iran declared that the billions would be used for whatever they want.
And they were. Frankly, doesn’t Hamas try to posit itself as some sort of humanitarian “liberation” organization?
Middle Eastern security expert and Kings College London Lecturer Dr Andreas Krieg also believes that Israel will continue to defend its interests, though the nation may choose a painful strategy for doing so.
“I think a prolonged, but manageable, conflict is in Netanyahu’s interest. That can be achieved by extending the conflict with Iran’s Axis of Resistance. This is a low-risk conflict that keeps Israel on high alert without the risk of becoming existential,” Krieg asserted.
Well, with respect, everything is now “existential” with Biden in power.
“Israel might decide to engage in a series of dispersed attacks over time that are individually so negligible that Iran doesn’t have to respond… a strategy of ‘death by a 1000 cuts,’” Krieg mused.
They might.
Or they might choose a much more aggressive approach, especially while multiple Democrats demand the de facto coddling of Hamas … while simultaneously voting against resolutions that condemn Iran’s terrorism.
Little wonder Iran feels so emboldened now, especially with Obama II in power.
Iran’s foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, certainly seems confident in making rather aggressive assertions towards Israel.
“If the Israeli regime commits the great error once again our response will be decisive, definitive and regretful for them,” Amir-Abdollahian boomed.
Well, how about that.
It’s not a surprise that Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir had just a one-word response for Israel’s retaliation to Iran.
“Feeble!” he asserted on X.
Depending on how history plays out, he may have a point.
