“The prospects for an Israel-Iran proxy confrontation in the near future seem significant,” which is not surprising. Iran has been working through its proxies for years with the goal of regional hegemony and the destruction of Israel.
Currently:
Iran is entrenched in Syria in a clear campaign aimed at extending its fundamentalist tentacles to Israel’s north and exerting hegemony across the region while ensuring an open corridor to Hezbollah-controlled southern Lebanon.
Iran is playing a deadly game, facilitated by the Barack Obama’s Iranian deal. Western appeasement of Iran for years has empowered the Islamic Republic. The Iranian regime is also supported by Russia. Amos Yadlin, the head of the Institute for National Security Studies, has pointed out that attacks against Israel by Iranian proxies could actually come from “anywhere else around the globe” in addition to Syria and Lebanon. To complicate matters:
Russia finds itself in the crosshairs of a possible showdown between the U.S. and Israel on the one hand and the Iranian axis on the other.
“Klein: Iran Proxy War with Israel May Be in Mideast Forecast”, by Aaron Klein, Breitbart, April 12, 2018:
TEL AVIV — As Israelis here gear up to celebrate the Jewish state’s 70th anniversary next week, the prospects for an Israel-Iran proxy confrontation in the near future seem significant.
Airstrikes on the T-4 airbase in central Syria on Monday have been widely attributed to Israel, with U.S. officials confirming the Jewish state carried out the hits and informed Washington in advance. Israel has a longstanding policy of refusing to comment on alleged military actions beyond the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Still, Israel’s Foreign Ministry immediately accused the Bashar al-Assad regime of committing “crimes against humanity” with a deadly chemical weapons attack on rebel-held Douma over the weekend.
The decision to target the T-4 base is instructive. Reports in Israel revealed the establishment housed an Iran-run drone base. Underscoring the sensitivities of the players involved, the Washington Post, citing Iran’s Fars News Agency, reported that aside from Iranians, the T-4 base also houses Russians and members of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group.
This week’s raid apparently marks the second time Israeli jets bombed T-4. In February, following strategic victories over the Islamic State and Turkey-backed rebels inside Syria, Iran was brazen enough to send an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) into Israeli territory before it was quickly shot down by the Israeli military. Aviation analysts described the Iranian drone as a new stealth model similar in design to the American RQ-170 Sentinel spy drone that Iran claimed to have shot down and seized in December 2011. It’s likely the Iranians were testing the model’s ability to penetrate Israeli airspace undetected, making Israel’s discovery of the UAV a remarkable display of regional military superiority.
The latest strikes resulted in Iranian casualties, with Iran’s state-run media confirming that four Iranian “military advisers” were killed in the bombing raid. While Iran largely attempts to keep its operations in Syria low key, the public display this week may prompt Tehran to seek retaliation against Israel….
Now Russia finds itself in the crosshairs of a possible showdown between the U.S. and Israel on the one hand and the Iranian axis on the other. Yesterday, President Trump took to Twitter to warn Russia that missiles in Syria “will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’”…

It’s been said that Israel has been imploring the U.S. to carry out strikes in Syria, and this is about repelling the influence of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps/Hezbollah/Houthis/ back in the region, now so emboldened by the Obama-Kerry cash-showering deal.
Obama’s final act of jihadi before leaving office was the deal he and John Kerry struck FOR the Iranian regime. What a slap in the face of so many, from Israel, all the way down to the Iranian people!
Obama and Kerry should someday be prosecuted for this jihadist play that has endangered so many people around the world.
J D S says
if the powers that be do not put an end to Iran’s entrenchment in Syria then Israel will and that may cause more problems than anyone wants.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Let open ànd direct confrontation start to humilate apartheid evil united and cut off its tentacles from the region
SHUALI says
You’ll be sorry you wished for a confrontation. Israel knows what it’s capabilities are while Iran dreams of being bigger than it really is. The Obama Iran deal will be scrapped in May. We can go at it after that….n o holds barred.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Shuali, you are being deceived by fascist zionist state military capabilities. Let the war starts, zionists will take tò their heels when all their arsenals are destroyed at random.
Buraq says
@ Ibrahim itace Muhamed
You’re a clown! Israel will wipe the floor with these poxy, proxy terrorists. Bring it on! Allah is the god of losers! Like you!
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Buraq, advise fascist evil zionists to start the war with Iran, within one hour all their arsenals, including nuclear sites ,will be obliterated. zionists know better than you.
Elisha says
You are a fool:
You are a fool. EVERY nation destroyed by the TRUE living God in Christ Jesus on Judgement Day is … an ISLAMIC STATE! If YOU had bothered to read history (and prophecy) in God’s Holy Bible, you wouldn’t be a muslim.
“The Lord will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah. In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the Lord before them. It shall be in that day that I WILL SEEK TO DESTROY ALL THE NATIONS THAT COME AGAINST JERUSALEM.” – Zechariah 12:7-9
Then the word of the LORD of hosts came, saying, “Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘I am EXCEEDINGLY JEALOUS FOR ZION, yes, WITH GREAT WRATH I AM JEALOUS FOR HER.’ “Thus says the LORD, ‘I WILL RETURN TO ZION and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.’ – Zechariah 8:1-3

Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Elisha, you are making reference to myths in mithraist pagan bible. Let fascist zionists start the war with Iran, the satan In yahweh and his wife Ashera hero gods will run away and his Forces of evils defeated within one hour
R Russell says
Ibrahim,
The Bible Jesus is still in charge. Bible prophesy tells us Russia, Iran, Turkey and some other countries will rise up against Israel sometime in the future. They are beginning to amalgamate in anticipation. But YHWH God, will not allow Israel to be defeated.
You can still get to know the Bible Jesus. Better to get to know him now as a friend, than to wait till it is too late and meet him as your judge.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
R Russel, the satan In yahweh and his wife Ashera hero gods was lying. Let zionists start the war, within one hour the Forces of evils will be defeated and the satan runs away. take It from me.
asma bint marwan says
Look what faith in the national arab deity, allah, brought you: impotence, misery, war, death and contempt from the rest of the world.
Lydia Church says
Yes, there is a bible prophesy about this in the end times. From what I recall the names translate into:
Russia, Syria, Turkey, Iran and joining together and coming against Israel.
There may have been some more players. But things are aligning in an interesting formation in that regard, that is for sure.
Lydia Church says
And as usual, ibrahim is all wrong. I do not read his comments anymore but sometimes the refuting replies. I ignore his automated comments and claims that are without evidence.
Chand says
“Russia finds itself in the crosshairs of a possible showdown between the U.S. and Israel on the one hand and the Iranian axis on the other.”
What are the implications of this? Will Russia risk a hot war if its assets in Syria are attacked? Will the West risk one by hitting Russians there? China backed Russia yesterday at the UN Security Council. Are we looking at Doomsday again………….Russia-China-N Korea-Iran against the West-Japan-Israel-Saudi Arabia and allies?
Or am I just being alarmist?
dumbledoresarmy says
Saudi Arabia and Turkey are the enemy also.
All of the Ummah is the enemy.
I hope that at some level Trump *gets* that. Israel needs to ‘get’ that also.
The Sunni Muslims might be quite prepared to *use* Israel to get rid of the hated Shiites…or at least, to teach the hated (non-Arab) Shiites a lesson… but THEN the Sunni Muslims will turn round and attack the very Infidels who have done their dirty work for them.
Muslims *make use* of Infidels.
Infidels should endeavour to NOT get themselves into alliances with Muslims.
Alliances with Muslims are a *very* bad idea.
