Report: Israel Sees Opportunity To Bomb Iran After Downfall of Assad

By Dave DeCamp – Antiwar.com

The Israeli military believes there is now an opportunity to bomb Iran due to the weakening of its allies in the region following the ousting of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, The Times of Israel reported on Thursday.

Israeli military officials said in the wake of the regime change in Syria, the Israeli Air Force has increased its preparations for a potential attack on Iran.

The Times report said the IDF is considering launching strikes on Iran’s nuclear program. While Israeli officials are constantly claiming Iran is seeking nuclear weapons, there is no evidence that’s the case, a fact recently acknowledged by the CIA.

In the wake of Assad’s ouster, Israel launched a massive bombing campaign in Syria, launching 480 strikes in just 48 hours. The Israeli military said it decimated the former government’s military assets, destroying about 80% of the equipment that was left behind.

Israeli officials now say they have total air superiority over Syria due to the lack of air defenses, which could make it easier to launch airstrikes on Iran. Israeli warplanes used to have to avoid air defenses when bombing Syria, but now Israeli officials say they’re able to fly over Damascus without having to worry about getting shot down by Russian-made air defenses.

Israel last bombed Iran in October, attacks that damaged some air defenses and killed four Iranian soldiers and one civilian. Iranian officials vowed a response to the attack, but nothing has happened so far. Israel launched the strikes on Iran in response to an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel that was retaliation for a string of Israeli escalations in the region.

  1. I think Bibi’s wet-dream is to turn the Mid-East into a type of E.U. Yeah, sovereignty be damned!! How else to own all those resources? But the Mid-East is only the beginning of his ever expanding dream. He’s already got the U.S. and most of the west, and then some!! Instead of calling The One World Order globalism, it might more rightly be called Bibiism, or more accurately, judaism. How will the globe respond? We’re at Mordor’s gate. Will we run or enter?

    1. Ha! I’ve been calling it the jWO for as long as I can remember. I always thought it was more accurate & fitting 😉
