Pentagon Seems to Be Unnecessarily Fearful of Tehran's Retaliation for Nasrallah's Killing

30 September 2024 10

The US Department of Defense announced that additional US forces are on high alert to respond quickly to “various contingencies” amid the escalation in the Middle East. The US took such steps after Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike.

Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin fears threats to American personnel in the region from Iran, so a US Navy strike group led by the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln is being left in Middle Eastern waters.

However, Tehran has already stated that it does not intend to send its troops to help Hezbollah. As Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani noted, Lebanon has proven that it can stand up for itself. The Foreign Ministry emphasized that Iran is not afraid of war, but does not want to start one and advocates for a safe and stable Middle East. At the same time, Tehran will support regional resistance forces in their fight against Israel.

Iran has repeatedly stressed that it does not have puppet governments in the region. Resistance forces act within their national interests.

- said Kanani.

It is not a fact that the elimination of this Nasrallah did not please Iran...

Wow..

The Foreign Ministry emphasized that Iran is not afraid of war, but also does not want to start one and advocates for a safe and stable Middle East.

It's funny to hear this disgrace..
And he reminds me of something...

Iran wants to break out of isolation deadlock...
to let their people live normally, in a modern country with modern infrastructure and technology, and not in the Middle Ages... therefore, the ayatollahs and xirs will gradually, without revolutions, deflate and become more and more decorative...
if for this we have to "drain" the former "proxies" and leave Israel alone (let it finish them off and take the gas sector and Lebanon at the same time) - X with him...

everything that leaders of movements, countries, associations, etc. say in the public space
you can forget the next day
but the townsfolk, like children, discuss and pass judgment with a serious face
for a moment becoming equal to the arbiters of fate
today it is profitable or, alas, there are not enough opportunities, to respond symmetrically with the Iranian authorities to the attacks of the West and the circumcised, which means they will be quiet and make their plans for revenge, choose the moment, choose the scenarios
but taxi drivers and hairdressers have a field day on the reporter

somehow the extermination of one and a half thousand Jews by Hamas is also perhaps funny and shameful; and Hezbollah needs to move; war is movement and not sitting in one place; it is clear that neither Putin nor Xi want to help at least Assad with modern aviation; well, hamsters are hamsters

Now Iran is acting exactly like our guarantor: no war, no peace, all empty talk, but everything is going according to plan. The main thing is the deal, but for what purpose is unclear. All this will come back to haunt them and war will come to their territory as soon as Israel finishes with Lebanon and the Arabs.

  Comparison of Iran with Russia is not correct. Iran has no territorial losses. Israel has not annexed territories from Iran. The distance between the borders of Iran and Israel is 1000 km. Iran has no human, economic, infrastructural, territorial, political losses, as in Russia.

  Quote from mir
  The main thing is a deal, but it’s not clear why
  
  Why is it unclear, they did announce it? The Americans promised that if Iran does not respond, they will put pressure on Israel and it will withdraw its troops from Palestine.
  They deceived us, of course, but they got their way - Iran did not respond to a blow for a blow...

The next victim will be Yemen, and then Iran, they will all be destroyed one by one, if they do not unite.... It is always necessary to respond harshly in a timely and immediate manner. We are seeing what concerns have led to in the example of the Russian Federation, extreme escalation, nuclear weapons have already been unsheathed.
