At first glance, it appeared that Israel’s counterstrike against Iran this past Saturday was once again neutered due to pressure from the Biden Administration. That may be true to some degree. However, although this multi-wave response was completed in just a few short hours, Israel’s latest round of defensive retaliatory strikes against the Islamic Republic may prove to have far-reaching consequences, not just for the Iranian regime, but for the region. With Hezbollah and Hamas now on the brink of collapse, unable to respond in any significant manner against Israel’s counterstrikes, and with Iranian offensive and defensive capabilities exposed as impotent, an increasingly humiliated Ayatollah now knows they are vulnerable to potentially catastrophic reprisals if they decide to respond, especially if Donald Trump is elected President in November. Instead of leaning upon their “Axis of Resistance” terror proxies in Lebanon and Gaza, Iran will now be forced to lean much more upon like-minded nation states, beginning with Turkey. We are living in Biblical times, my friends, and we are clearly on the path towards Gog-Magog …

Ezekiel 38:2-22, “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshek and Tubal [Turkey]; prophesy against him … Persia [Iran] … will be with them … In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel … When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD … I will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him …”
Report: Radar Systems In Iran Breached Prior To Israel’s Saturday Counter-Strike – “Shortly before Israel launched its retaliatory attack on Iran on Saturday, radar systems in the Iranian defense systems were breached, and the radar screens froze, KAN reported on Monday, citing Iranian sources… This attack on Syrian radar targets allowed Israel to escalate into an offensive targeting Tehran and Karaj, Iran’s capital and an additional strategic location. The Israeli operation, which involved over 100 aircraft traveling approximately 2,000 kilometers, likely began with initial waves attacking radar and air defense systems to clear the path for subsequent strikes on military bases. The earlier coordinated strike in Syria neutralized similar threats and prevented Iran from building situational awareness of Israel’s offensive plans…” Read more.
Weakened By Israel, Iran Seeks To Save Face Without Sparking A War It Would Likely Lose – “It’s Iran’s move now. How the Islamic Republic chooses to respond to the unprecedentedly public Israeli aerial assault on military sites in its homeland could determine whether the region spirals further toward all-out war or holds steady at an already devastating and destabilizing level of violence. In the coldly calculating realm of Middle East geopolitics, a strike of the kind that Israel delivered before dawn Saturday would typically be met with a forceful response… Tehran may opt to hold back for now, not least because doing so might reveal its weaknesses and invite a more potent Israeli response, analysts say. ‘Iran will play down the impact of the strikes, which are in fact quite serious,’ said Sanam Vakil, the director of the Middle East and North Africa program at the London-based think tank Chatham House…” Read more.
IDF Chief On Israel’s Attack In Iran: ‘We Have The Ability To Do Much More’ – “The head of the Israel Defense Forces has said Israel restrained itself in its weekend attack on Iran, in comments published Sunday, as the country girds for a possible response from Tehran. In a video released Sunday, Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi was seen telling other officials that the hours-long bombardment of military sites across Iran early Saturday had struck ‘strategic systems.’ ‘We drew upon only some of our abilities,’ Halevi said in the clip … Israel has indicated it has no wish for further escalation, but that it could take more aggressive action if Iran once again launches an attack on its territory.” Read more.
IDF Strike Cripples Iran’s Missile Production, Disables Air Defenses; Regime ‘Alarmed’ – “Israel’s widespread airstrikes in Iran on Saturday crippled Iran’s ability to produce long-range ballistic missiles in a blow that will be hard and time-consuming to recover from, and rendered crucial energy facilities vulnerable to future attacks by destroying air defense batteries protecting them …The strikes, which Israel’s Kan public broadcaster said reflected capabilities developed over two decades, indicated much greater freedom of operation for Israeli warplanes in striking Iran if the current conflict continues to escalate, as well as a setback in Tehran’s ability to continuously fire missiles at the Jewish state …” Read more.
