Events in Syria have created a window of opportunity, sources have told Times of Israel.
The Israeli Air Force is carrying out preparations for “potential strikes” on Iranian nuclear facilities, military officials have told Times of Israel.
West Jerusalem believes that the surprise takeover of Syria by jihadist rebels has weakened Tehran’s position in the region, which could prompt Iran to speed up its atomic program, the outlet said.
Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes have taken out most of Syrian air defenses, clearing the way for an operation against Iran.
Tehran has long insisted that its nuclear program is peaceful and civilian in nature, contrary to allegations by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Iran has sought an atomic bomb. In 2015, the world’s top five nuclear powers struck a deal with Iran to monitor its nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief, but the US unilaterally withdrew from this agreement in 2018.
Israel reportedly considered strikes on Iranian nuclear sites after Tehran’s October 1 missile barrage, but did not follow through on those plans.
Netanyahu’s government has used the recent events in Syria to destroy its neighbor’s military capabilities, launching “one of the largest attack operations in the history” of its air force. Earlier this week, Israeli jets struck over 250 targets around Syria, including airports and seaports, air defense and missile sites, military industry facilities and warehouses. Israeli troops also moved beyond the buffer zone on the Golan Heights, claiming Mount Hermon.
Bashar Assad’s government in Syria was overthrown by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants last week. The jihadist group has not yet consolidated power.
Israel reportedly believes that Iran is “isolated” after the ousting of Assad and that its other main ally in the region, Lebanon-based Hezbollah, has been significantly weakened by the recent IDF offensive there. This could push Iran to speed up its nuclear program and could also create a window of opportunity for an Israeli pre-emptive strike, according to Times of Israel.
Never trust a fake Khazarian jew boy to tell the truth.
Yeah, when their motto is, “by deception we shall wage war”.
If this is not merely sabre rattling, Israel may well learn the meaning of blowback. Toppling Assad, who had relied on the UAE and Quatar to protect him diplomatically rather than allowing Russia and Iran to bolster him militarily, may well have created a “tar-baby” for Israel. Mercenaries do not make good governors or neighbours and I cannot see the ragtag headchopper brigade currently in power making nice with Israel long-term.
If it were not so tragic, it would be amusing to see USrael embracing ISIS after despoiling half the planet in pursuit of their “War on Terror” (AKA “War for Resources”).
But please do not forget that THE CABAL ‘finances’ all sides in order to divide and conquer since 280 years.
Israel has been very successful in weakening the Shia axis in Lebanon and now Syria and Iranian sponsored Hamas (who are Sunni) in Gaza. Iranian nuclear weapon capability is a danger to not only Israel.
However, just an opinion: Let’s say Israel destroys Iran’s nuclear and all other military capability. This would then destroy Shia power and influence in the Middle East. In some ways it is the Shia power that has kept the Sunni from getting more aggressive. It could be that after Iran falls then the Sunnis may become more aggressive with Israel and with each other. For example, just look at how ISIS, al Nusra and al Qaeda were all killing each other and they are all Sunni.
The world would be a better place without Israhell.
