Defense expert cautions that Iran launching attacks across the Middle East is the biggest threat to world peace

Important Takeaways:

  • Pentagon insider warns ‘we are on the brink’ of World War 3 after latest Iran attack
  • A source inside the US Pentagon has warned the world is on the brink of a major conflict as Iran and its allies continue to launch attacks across the Middle East.
  • The warning comes as Iranian-backed proxies destabilize the Middle East by attacking Israel and US targets, as well as international shipping in the region.
  • Iran itself has also carried out strikes in neighboring Iraq and Pakistan as well as Syria sending tensions soaring.
  • Defense expert Nicholas Drummond echoed concerns that the conflict in the Middle East could potentially escalate but warned that if Tehran directly attacked Israel, the ensuing war would be “the end of Iran”.
  • Speaking to Daily Express US, he said: “Iran’s agenda in the region, and globally, has been exposed. And Iran is on the back foot.
  • “The West is saying to Iran ‘behave yourself, or we will attack you directly’.
  • He added: “I think Iran has to be very, very careful. It has been playing a dangerous game. And it’s about to get punished if it doesn’t step back.
  • “You saw that [Iran] fired a missile into Syria and… it was ostensibly taking out rebel targets but it was [also] demonstrating, it has a missile capable of reaching Israel from Iran that could have with a nuclear warhead – it could target Tel Aviv.
  • That’s the message it’s sending. And, of course, if Iran did that, it would be the end of Iran, frankly.”
  • Drummond branded Iran as “the biggest threat to world peace” at the moment.

us-soldier-iraq-640x480

Important Takeaways:

  • Iran-Backed Attacks on U.S. Troops in Middle East Reach Nearly 100
  • The number of attacks as of Thursday was 97 since October 17, the official said. At least 66 troops have been injured in these attacks, including at least 19 who were diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries.

  • The uptick in attacks against U.S. forces has occurred against the backdrop of the Israeli military offensive against Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas, after it conducted an attack against Israel on October 7, killing more than 1,200.
  • The Pentagon announced Thursday that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is heading to the Middle East this week to meet with the leaders of Bahrain, Qatar, and Israel.

Bribe Money? Biden Administration sends big money to Iran

Important Takeaways:

  • Biden Administration’s $10 Billion Prize to Iran: Just A Small Thank You for Engineering a War, Wounding 56 US Troops and Trying to Drive the US Out of The Middle East
  • From the Iranian regime’s perspective, annihilating Israel and the Jews would presumably be a major breakthrough, giving them a dominance over the Muslim world, even greater than Saudi Arabia’s.
  • The dedicated funds that this new $10 billion will release can now be used to put the finishing touches on the mullahs’ nuclear bomb – to threaten their Sunni neighbors in the Gulf, Europe, and above all, “The Great Satan, the United States. Iran’s plans for cutting “The Great Satan” (and others) down to size are already underway in Cuba and throughout South America. Earlier this month, Israel helped Brazil thwart an attack by the Iran-backed terrorist group Hizballah on Brazil’s Jews.
  • Sadly, the $10 billion looks suspiciously like a “pretty please” bribe not to try to drive the US out of the region this year [before the 2024 US election]; instead, wait for next year.
  • The solution is not to give Iran $10 billion as a prize for practicing extensive regional aggression and engineering mass-murder. Real solutions would include cutting the flow of funds by re-imposing — and enforcing — primary and secondary sanctions; incapacitating the port from which Iran sends oil to China; sending Ayatollah Khamenei and the leaders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRCG) pictures of their homes; making the ruling mullahs seriously aware of military options, such as taking out the training bases and leadership of the IRGC, and employing significant military force when required — for instance now.

Heightened threat level FBI Director warns

FBI-Director-Wray

Important Takeaways:

  • FBI Director Warns House Panel Threat of Terror Attack Now at Whole ‘Nother Level’
  • The directors of the FBI and Homeland Security were in front of Congress Wednesday warning Americans to stay vigilant given the situation in the Middle East.
  • Those most responsible for protecting the country fear lone wolf attacks could happen here based on antisemitism, islamophobia, or just hate for America.
  • “In a year where the terrorism threat was already elevated, the ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of an attack against Americans in the United States to a whole ‘nother level,'” FBI Director Christopher Wray told a House panel.
  • Wray confirmed multiple investigations were underway nationwide into people who may have connections to Hamas.
  • “Our most immediate concern is that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home,” he said
  • Concern quickly shifted the conversation to the southern border after nearly 200 people on the terror watch list were encountered there.
  • “200 is alarming to me, does that give you concern?” asked Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX).
  • “Certainly, the numbers give us concern. I think it’s important in some ways to say that numbers alone don’t really tell the problem. We’ve all seen how much damage just a small number of foreign terrorists could cause. As crazy as it sounds people tend to forget it was 19 who killed 3,000,” Wray replied.
  • “That’s the point I was going to make. It only took 19 to create 9/11,” McCaul said.
  • One point Wray stressed to the American people is, that while continuing to live their lives, there should be a heightened awareness.

What happens when three of the world’s largest countries see us as ‘War addicts’ that are dangerous and out of control?

PRC

Important Takeaways:

  • China JUDGES United States: “War Addicts” Will an “Intervention” to stop our addiction come next?
  • The People’s Republic of China has JUDGED the United States of America as being “War Addicts.” As families of anyone with Chemical Dependency know, making such a determination is the step before an “intervention” to put a stop to an addiction!
  • A uniformed spokesman from China’s People’s Liberation Army brought the judgement to the world via a Press Conference. “”The USA are war addicts.” The country has existed for 240 years, and only 16 years it did not go to war. They built 800 military bases around the world. “Wherever the US military goes, people die everywhere,” said a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Defense.
  • RUSSIA CHIMES-IN
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday “The terrible events in the Gaza Strip cannot be justified by anything.”
  • He went on to say “We see that in the Middle East, instead of punishing terrorists, they began to take revenge on the principle of collective responsibility.
  • When you look at bloodied, dead children, the suffering of the elderly, the death of doctors in the Middle East, your fists clench, but emotions are unacceptable,” the president said.
  • Then Putin let loose with the quiet part that isn’t supposed to be said out loud:
    • “Behind the conflict in the Middle East, Ukraine, Iraq, and Syria are the ruling elites of the United States and their satellites
  • “They don’t need lasting peace in the Holy Land, they need constant chaos in the Middle East,” said the Russian President.
  • The US ruling elites, without achieving success on the battlefield, are trying to weaken Russia from within.
  • Putin’s key statement to Palestine sympathizers:
    • “We can only help Palestine in the fight against those who are behind this tragedy. We are Russia, and we are fighting them as part of a special military operation. Exactly with them. Both for ourselves and for those who strive for real true freedom.”

Important Takeaways:

  • Intelligence shows Iranian-backed militias are ready to ramp up their attacks against US forces in the Middle East
  • The US has intelligence that Iranian-backed militia groups are planning to ramp up attacks against US forces in the Middle East, as Iran seeks to capitalize on the backlash in the region to US support for Israel, according to multiple US officials.

  • But the US now has specific intelligence that those same groups could escalate even further as the war between Israel and Hamas continues.
  • There are “red lights flashing everywhere,” a US official in the region told CNN.
  • A senior defense official echoed that concern on Monday.
  • “We see a prospect for much more significant escalation against US forces and personnel in the near term,” the official said. “And let’s be clear about it. The road leads back to Iran. Iran funds, arms, equips and trains militias and proxy forces all across the region. … We are preparing for this escalation, both in terms of defending our forces and being prepared to respond decisively.”

U.S. plans for evacuation of its 600,000 citizens in worst-case scenario

Ship-ready-evacuation

Important Takeaways:

  • U.S. readies plans for mass evacuations if Gaza war escalates
  • The Biden administration is preparing for the possibility that hundreds of thousands of American citizens will require evacuation from the Middle East if the bloodshed in Gaza cannot be contained, according to four officials familiar with the U.S. government’s contingency planning
  • The specter of such an operation comes as Israeli forces, aided by U.S. weapons and military advisers, prepare for what is widely expected to be a perilous ground offensive against Hamas militants responsible for the stunning cross-border attack that has reignited hostilities. The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to detail internal deliberations, said Americans living in Israel and neighboring Lebanon are of particular concern, though they stressed that an evacuation of that magnitude is considered a worst-case scenario and that other outcomes are seen as more likely.
  • Still, one official said, it “would be irresponsible not to have a plan for everything.”
  • There were about 600,000 U.S. citizens in Israel and another 86,000 believed to be in Lebanon when Hamas attacked, according to State Department estimates.

  • “I would also ask the president to consider reversing his policies on the southern border. We are vulnerable when you have all these military-age men coming in. Do you think that our enemies have not been looking at that weakness?”
  • “We know people from Iran have come, we know people from Russia have come, and we know China and other parts of the Middle East.
  • Israel probably has the strongest border security in the world, and yet, this happened to them,” the governor added.

  • Former CIA Chief Michael Hayden calls for Assassination of Sen. Tuberville
  • Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Michael Hayden suggested Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville be “removed” from the “human race” Monday after an outbreak of conflict in the Middle East.
  • Hayden responded to a Democrat influencer on X, formerly known as Twitter, who asked whether the Alabama lawmaker maintaining a months-long hold on military promotions be removed from the Armed Services Committee.

  • The former CIA chief, who previously characterized the Republican Party as the most “dangerous” force on Earth, doubled down on his remarks about Senator Tuberville Tuesday.
  • “I was surprised to wake up this morning and discover that MAGAnuts had lost their minds over my suggestion that ‘Coach’ Tuberville not be considered a member of the human race,” he wrote on X. “I stand by that view.”
  • Hayden, who just more than a decade ago was authorizing drone strikes to gun down violent extremists, now serves on the advisory board of NewsGuard, a left-wing misinformation group that claims to operate as a disinformation watchdog.
