The Coming Middle Eastern Storm

Via Billy
 

The next war between Israel and Hezbollah will be a region-wide fight, with Iraq playing a key role

 Since 2013, Israel has attacked Iranian targets in Syria hundreds of times, killing soldiers and decimating equipment and facilities. Israel's aerial campaign led Iran, which seeks to establish another military front against the Jewish state, to move the bulk of its assets away from the Syrian-Israeli border to Iraq earlier this year. Since then, Iran has entrenched itself militarily in Iraq, where, according to Israel's intelligence assessment for 2019, "the domestic and international situation … created better opportunities for [Tehran] to prepare its regional plans" to dominate the Middle East. 

Specifically, Iran deployed more members of its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Lebanese Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist organization, to bolster the two cornerstones of Iran's military entrenchment in Iraq: missile systems and Shiite militias that obey Tehran.

      For sure and they will use atomic weapons if it comes to the country's survival. Their foes better think twice.

    My fervent wish and prayer is the USA just stays out of it. Let those countries battle it out and cause their untold thousands of young men and women dead. It really is not our fight. Treaties be damned not our young men and women.
