Iran prepares a second front for Israel

68

Against the backdrop of incessant armed confrontation For Palestinians and Israelis, the commander of the Qods special forces of the IRGC of Iran, General Ismail Kaani, spoke on the phone with Hamas leader Ismail Haniya, discussing what is happening around the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem. Tehran already expressed support for this Palestinian movement earlier, now the actions of the Iranians can change the balance of power in the region not in favor of Israel, The Jerusalem Post wrote on May 16, 2021.

In the conversation, Kaani assured Haniya that Iran remains a friend of the Palestinian people and supports their resistance to the common "Zionist enemy." Iranian agency Tasnim reported on May 15 that Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system is becoming less reliable in the event of large-scale missile strikes. For example, on May 13, an unprecedented amount of ammunition - 5 units - was fired from the Gaza Strip in 135 minutes. Hamas from the south maintains a high pace of hostilities, and Hezbollah is closely watching developments from Lebanon, identifying bottlenecks in the Israeli defense.



Israel is becoming more vulnerable as Iran is clearly preparing to open a second front. Tehran sent a clear signal to Tel Aviv that Hezbollah could attack from the north at any moment. The Lebanese let it slip before that they were able to fire up to 2 missiles at Israel per day. In addition, the IRGC recently announced that Iran could destroy Israel with "one crushing blow", calling the impenetrability of the Israeli missile defense system a myth.

Tasnim suggested that Hamas increased the speed, range and accuracy of its missiles "at the advice of Iran." The agency stressed that "the quality of missiles is constantly growing" and "soon the Palestinian resistance will be able to create more advanced weapons."

Iran is now as close to entering a conflict with Israel as ever. Tehran predicted the beginning of another round of confrontation between Israel and Hamas on May 6. Hamas started the war on May 10, Jerusalem Day (Al-Quds Day). It was a frank message, the Israeli media summed up.

    Well, the local Zionists were glad that everyone was silent and no one supported the Palestinians. Turkey, the SA also announced that they were ready to support Palestine in their fight against the Israeli occupiers, a good coalition could be organized

      Already organized. Not once or even twice. Moreover, with all-round assistance in the form of cyclopean supply of weapons by the Great and Mighty Soviet Union. (Words from the anthem of the USSR). In the Yom Kippur War, as many as 22 states pounced on tiny Israel. With the shameful defeat of the aggressors in a couple of weeks. And in the situation under consideration, taking into account the fact that in order to get to the northern borders of Israel, Turkey needs to go through the territories controlled by their best sworn friends, the Kurds, and then also by the Assad regime, with whom relations did not work out, to put it mildly. Moreover, you can fall under the Jewish distribution on the march ... And all for what? And who? Iran is even sadder. There everything is according to Medvedev: "Everything is fine, only there is no money." Therefore, Turkey is boiling over, and Iran remains formidable silence. Israel is a serious adversary. It is possible to start military operations against him with impunity only from the couch. And then, if it starts.

        The Turks will not yield to you technically and technologically, their Air Force is not weaker than yours, and the Navy is so clearly stronger, so they can press you from the sea, Iran reaches you from its BR territory, these are the countries with which Israel has never fought. , forget all your victories that you had before, the troubles that Gaza is giving you now, will seem like a cute prank

          Stanislav Bykov, Gaza has turned sour. Which day they ask Israel through intermediaries to cease fire. Turkey has a combat-ready army. But it was weakened by the repression of the officers and generals by Erdogan. It is a long way from the Turkish Navy to Israel. And naval battles, as shown by the battles of Latakia and Damietta, will take place out of sight of the fleets. UAVs, missiles and electronic warfare will play a decisive role. In these positions, Israel is the leader in the world. One could take the risk, together with the Russian Federation, to play the role of peacekeepers, as in Karabakh. Erdogan entered the GDP. He refused ... Because he is an intelligent person. It's not even worth talking about Iran. Beggar. Take a look at the budgets of Israel and Iran. Questions will disappear by themselves. And note that when Israel is in danger, the ruling party and the opposition immediately disappear. All are one. So the hopes for a political crisis did not come true.

            You don't look into someone else's pocket, you better look at how much the military budget of NATO countries exceeds the Russian one, nevertheless, they prefer to sit on their poles evenly. Iran has already riveted enough BRs, so you can calm down further, you are worse off

          Everything that happens in the Gaza Strip seems to me to be a failed scenario of Iran. Tehran decided to take advantage of the political crisis in Israel, brought in a sea of ​​missiles for the money of Qatar, and also helped to establish their production, laid the Hamas metro. And it all ended badly ... For the Gaza Strip. In six days, everything that the barmaley created with back-breaking labor was destroyed: thousands of missiles, launchers, installations, the enemy's manpower. And this despite the fact that from the place of missile launch to Tel Aviv -70 km., To Haifa 140 km. , to Ashdod -20 km, Ashkelon -31 km. The flight time to Israel from Iran is orders of magnitude longer. The missiles will be destroyed unambiguously, and Iran will receive a knockout blow in response. Including from under water and from the air. Yes, and an earthquake can visit. As already once it was, and for some reason exactly under a nuclear reactor. A coincidence, probably .... Therefore, the Persians are sitting quietly, like a mouse under a broom. And they will sit. And that's right, because that's right.) hi

          You are wrong, Israeli Jews fought with the Turks back in the First World War, when the Jewish Legion was created in the British army. Since then, colloquial Hebrew even has the expression "Turks-Turks", which means "Gradually, without haste." They say that one compassionate mother, escorting her son to the service in the legion, instructed him: “Don't be heroic there, don't get in trouble, and most importantly - eat regularly! hurry and fight, Turks-Turks ...

    Traditional oriental cheek puffing. Hezbollah will now rush to save Gaza - why would it? To lose ground in Lebanon. Israel will reset the basic infrastructure of Lebanon in an hour or two, the Lebanese, taught by bitter experience, will not forgive such a Hezbollah. Lebanon has a lot to lose (unlike Gaza), so Hezbollah will think a hundred times before harnessing. There are also negotiations on the shelf with Israel, and there are prospects for gas revenues ...
    With a 99% probability, the northern front will not be opened, Iran will definitely not attack, and in 2-4 days the Egyptians will be able to achieve an armistice as mediators.

    In the article The Jerusalem Post "Iran reveals its strategy advising Hamas on war against Israel" / ed. Seth J. Frantzman / there is not a word about Tehran's intention to enter directly into the war with Israel on the side of Hamas - I read it carefully on the newspaper's website. The author speaks of the support and advice of the Iranians, that the Hamasniks may have adopted the tactics of the Persians. And the recent timid attempts to shell Israel from Syria and Lebanon were purely symbolic. Ayatollahs seem to incite the Hamasniks - "You go there, beat the Zionists and we are here mentally with you, maybe our turn will come to oppose the Zionists sometime ..." In short, the gentlemen from Tehran clearly do not want adventures to their fifth point. laughing

              Technology isn't everything. In the IDF, there has long been a saying among tankers that clearly reflects the attitude towards technology, it can be translated into Russian something like this:

              Even the best tank is just a piece of iron, but people are stronger than steel.

                  The tree stump is clear - not communists! Yes But on the account of the Israelis many victories in tank battles. So in the fall of 1973. Lieutenant Zvi Gringold managed to destroy from 20 to 60 Soviet-made Syrian tanks T-55, T-54, T-62. For his feat, the young lieutenant was awarded the highest military award of the State of Israel - the Medal "For Heroism"

                    I think that none of the Israeli tankers will ever be able to repeat such a feat, as you yourself say, technologies have stepped forward, and it is unlikely that Russia will supply the same Lebanon or Palestine with its most modern T-90M and Armata tanks, which neither in what they are not inferior to the best western tanks, and if they put something, so old T-72 type of old versions, nothing more, but with the fact that they are fighting not by number, but by skill, I completely agree with you, the Arabs are still warriors! !!

                      "Armata" will definitely not be supplied because it is not in real life, as well as the widely advertised Su-57 and many other things, which they talk about with pathos in Russia. And I really hope that henceforth our tankers will not have to repeat the feat of Lieutenant Gringold, because our military and political leadership has learned from the mistakes of 1973. and will not put the country in a similar position when its existence depends solely on the courage of young boys who are ready to die for their homeland. I do not remember which of the great commanders of the past said that every soldier's feat is the result of general's mistakes. So let our generals make mistakes as rarely as possible, because living and healthy soldiers-victors who have returned home are preferable to the fallen heroes. Lieutenant Gringold was lucky - he was wounded in that battle, received burns, but survived, rose to the rank of colonel, after being retired, he built a successful career as a public figure and businessman, and is still alive today.

    Iran is preparing something for a long time. Israel has already attacked Iranian targets in Syria dozens of times and without response.
    But Hezbollah is more real. But she is unlikely to try to invade Israel. They can shoot rockets too. They say there are tens of thousands of them. But Hezbollah is now more needed by Iran in Syria.

    But there is no need to lie, Erdogan never openly called Crimea Turkish, first of all, and secondly, there were 12 Russian-Turkish wars, in which the Turks were steadily raking and, as a result, Crimea was in their native harbor, and the Ottoman Empire shrank to the level of a regional power, which is unlikely to risk tempt fate for the 13th time

    - So the Russian Empire has shrunk to the level of the Russian Federation ... wink

          Israel has already been erased from the maps of the world once, and the second will be erased.

      So after all, the Russian Empire has shrunk to the level of the Russian Federation ...

      Well, despite this, the "shrunken" Russian Empire is the largest geographically country in the world, and it is growing in territories, and the so-called "powers of this world" like the United States and Japan are only able to threaten it, but are not able to defeat Russia in a military conflict, because in In this case, they themselves will be guaranteed to be destroyed in it !!!

    Stanislav Bykov, Gaza has turned sour. Which day they ask Israel through intermediaries to cease fire. Turkey has a combat-ready army. But it was weakened by the repression of the officers and generals by Erdogan. It is a long way from the Turkish Navy to Israel. And naval battles, as shown by the battles of Latakia and Damietta, will take place out of sight of the fleets. UAVs, missiles and electronic warfare will play a decisive role. In these positions, Israel is the leader in the world. One could take the risk, together with the Russian Federation, to play the role of peacekeepers, as in Karabakh. Erdogan entered the GDP. He refused ... Because he is an intelligent person. It's not even worth talking about Iran. Beggar. Take a look at the budgets of Israel and Iran. Questions will disappear by themselves. And note that when Israel is in danger, the ruling party and the opposition immediately disappear. All are one. So the hopes for a political crisis did not come true.

    Yeah, yeah ... in Israel, more and more factories and enterprises are blown into the air. Before the rocket plant exploded, then the oil plant, today the oil and gas platform

    Even in this form, the Russian Federation is able to destroy the United States four times, I'm not even talking about Israel, which I won't even feel or hear a quiet crunch under our feet
