One report said they’re not just bombing Iran’s nuclear facility but bombing things in Syria and Iraq too. Sounds crazy if true. How many fronts do they want to fight on?

Watch them go into Rafah tomorrow.

Biden has lost control of the Middle East.

His “de-escalation/appeasement” strategy has led to full open warfare between Israel and Iran.

When will Biden reverse course on his disastrous Iran policy?

Zero fronts. Non-contiguous borders, and all that. Hezbollah and Hamas lack the equipment and numbers to invade Israel. They can barely defend their fortified positions from Israeli attack. To advance across open ground in the face of Israeli air dominance would be suicidal.

Iran lacks the equipment and dough to outfit enough army divisions to invade Israel from either Syria or Lebanon. So Iran is confined to lobbing missiles at Israel. The difference between Israel and Ukraine is Israel has a working air force that can level the sources of Iranian missile fire. That is why Ukraine needs fighter planes. Even if they were out-of-date F-104 Starfighters (dubbed Widowmaker by the Germans due to the high accident rate), they could be used to lob missiles and bombs at Russian airfields, missile sites and munitions factories.

I guess they fight on the fronts they are presented with related to Iran and other islamic terrorists.

The Quds Force, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps is in Syria, as well as the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad.

In Iraq there are various Iran-aligned terrorist militia groups.

Israel has been bombing Syria for years. The reason is Iran will store thousands and hundreds of thousands of rockets in Syria for use by Hezbollah and when Syria gets a new shipment, Israel will often bomb the site.

Israel has bombed the Damascus airport a number of times.

The press never reports it, but Israel routinely gets hit by rocket fire from both the north and south, often daily, and has for years. There are some Israeli towns in the north that are no longer habitable.

A few years ago, Israel accidentally shot down a Russian fighter jet in one of its Syrian bombing runs. They normally inform Russia when they will bomb so they will get out of the air during that time. And yes, Russia has given permission to Israel to bomb.

I have to assume Israel bombed Iranian military targets that happen to be in Syria and Iraq.

Didn’t we send American lives to be lost in Iraq only for it to be controlled by Iraq?
