During the weeks ahead, I will be watching Israel and Iran like a hawk. Prior to the 12 day war between Israel and Iran earlier this year, it was clear that something was up. Now we are witnessing similar signs, and many experts are concerned that the very fragile ceasefire that was agreed to at the end of the 12 day war could soon collapse. Iran is rebuilding their nuclear sites and is telling western countries that there will be no more negotiations.
On the other side, the U.S. and Israel have both pledged that Iran will not be allowed to rebuild their nuclear program. In fact, on Sunday President Trump publicly threatened to bomb Iran again… Three months after US and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, new satellite images show signs of construction work at two of its key enrichment facilities.
The Iranians responded to Trump’s threat of more bombing on Monday. They called the U.S. “a law-breaking country”, and they made it clear that there will be no negotiations… ...The Iranians have clearly made their choice. So how long will Trump wait before he pulls the trigger again? We were surprised by Trump’s timing during the 12 day war, and we may be surprised the next time it happens too.
If we bomb Iran, one of the first places that Iran will hit will be our base in Qatar. Interestingly, President Trump recently signed an order that makes any attack on Qatar a “threat to the peace and security of the United States”…President Donald Trump signed an order Monday offering a U.S. guarantee for Qatar’s security — a significant commitment for the rising non-NATO Arab ally.
..Recently, the U.S. military sent a whole bunch of air tankers to our base in Qatar, and that created quite a stir. Because the last time we witnessed a deployment of air tankers of this magnitude, Iran got bombed… (Ed note: It is one thing to have a nuclear devise, it is quite another to have the delivery system-ICBM-to send that bomb. Iran is also working on its advanced ICBM missile.) (Read More)
