Iranian Advisor: We’ll Strike Dimona In Response to U.S. Attack
Again proving that they’re a bunch of hotheads, an Iranian advisor said that Iran would attack “Dimona nuclear reactor and other strategic Israeli sites such as the port city of Haifa and the Zakhariya area. Haifa is also home to a large concentration of chemical factories and oil refineries.”
This is stupid on several levels, not the least of which is that most Arab countries would say that Israel would be justified in defending itself, especially if they didn’t invade Arab airspace.
I have no doubt but that there would be a major uproar if Israel attacked Iran in a pre-emptive strike. But that dynamic isn’t in play in the ‘attack Israel’ scenario. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jordan gave Israel permission to attack Iranian jets in the narrow situation of an attack against Israel.
It’s just opinion on my part but I think of this statement and the attack on the Saudi oil processing facility as part of a plot to widen the conflict currently going on to include Israel to inflame Arabs to turn against the spread of freedom.
I say this because it’s obvious that AQ terrorists aren’t making an impact against our forces, which is causing them to resort to more desparate measures. At the same time, Iran’s threats are happening because they see Iraq’s democratization as a major threat to the mullah’s rule.
Bit by bit, the noose is tightening around al Qaida’s and Iran’s throat. The key to ending their threat is (a) persistence and (b) winning people over as to the benevolence of ‘the Great Satan’. Thus far, we’re doing both, which is why al Qaida and Iran are getting desparate.
