Is War Imminent? What to Know About Iran's Attack on Israel
Israeli leaders say the nation will respond to Iran’s weekend attack, but what that response will entail remains unclear.
“I can see a number of scenarios in which this does escalate to a regional and potentially even a global conflict,” says a former member of the National Security Council, Robert Greenway, adding, “I can see fewer ways in which we prevent that from occurring.”
Over the weekend, Iran launched about 300 drones and missiles at Israel. Unlike other attacks, this was not carried out by proxy terrorist groups in the region, but the nation of Iran itself.
If a larger conflict in the Middle East is to be avoided, says Greenway, who also serves as director of the Center for National Defense at The Heritage Foundation, the U.S. will need “to radically alter its policy and approach toward Iran and Israel.” (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
U.S. policy changes toward Iran should include “to deny it the resources necessary, and to restore deterrence, with the support of Israel and our partners and allies,” Greenway says.
Greenway joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain what options Israel has as it considered retaliation against Iran, and how U.S. Middle East foreign policy is affecting the conflict.

Just so we’re clear, you don’t have a problem with national defense spending, just war? While we’re a strategically hard country to invade, it doesn’t mean it can’t come in many different forms. So in your opinion, what lines have to be crossed to step in?

We can promote domestic development while honoring our foreign obligations at the same time. Many bills featuring education funding, infrastructure and yes, border security are presented by democrats in congress and rejected by republicans. We just have to be more mindful of who we elect if we want to see progress. Or we can keep electing people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and watch them bicker over our culture.

The truth is that Iran has been attacking Israel for years via the proxy forces that it trains and funds including those in Damascus Syria and with those facts in mind, it is untrue to state that the Iranian attack was in self defense.
Don’t forget about Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria before this.

Look up Rumsfeld shaking hands with and meeting Saddam Hussein the Dictator from Iraq that they lied about and said had WMD and they HUNG him a la N a zi Germany style! That handshake and approval of Saddam's regime took place in 1983. By the 1990's he was the next Adolf H. and he was a threat to the whole world let alone the middle east. The real truth was he was a threat to Israel if they were to ever go to war with Iran. Israel needed to take out with American help the largest military in the region so they could not come to Irans aid! Israel has been agitating for war with or open conflict with Iran for many decades! They harrassed Lebanon too in the 1980's but it's always framed as if Israel is the victim. Look up Haliburton and Enron while you are at it, plus the timing of the Conference on Racism and Xenophobia in Durban, South Africa 2001. Also check out the timing of other serious terrorist events like in Norway with Anders Breivik and open criticism of Zionism. The dots are there to connect if you know what to look for.
