Israel’s participation in Gulf security force opens its 5th front against Iran
Tehran is treating the planned Israeli role in the US-led Gulf defense force much as Israel would react to the sudden arrival in Beirut of an Iranian submarine fleet or the transfer of an Al-Qods brigade to Bint Jbeil in S. Lebanon – casus belli.
Since seizing power 40 years ago, the Islamic Republic of Iran has strived with all its might to distance the Americans and their allies from its land and maritime borders. However, US forces are not just staying in Syria, Iraq and the Arabian Gulf emirates, but have redeployed at Saudi bases and are preparing to co-opt Israel to the naval, aerial and intelligence force Washington is setting up to safeguard Gulf shipping.
Tehran therefore sees its most alarming foes rallying at its front and back doors and its most cherished defense strategy blowing away. This has spurred Iranian officials to issue almost daily warnings. Their message: “The illegitimate presence by the Zionists in the waters of the Persian Gulf could spark a war.” This no longer empty rhetoric; Iran may be expected to add Israeli vessels to its potential US, British, Saudi and UAE targets.
Iran’s claim to be the legitimate guardian of Gulf shipping including the Strait of Hormuz has always been the rationale of its national defense posture. Still, for years, Tehran took no notice of Western claims that Israel’s nuclear-armed Dolphin submarines had established a permanent presence in Gulf waters opposite Iran’s shores as a “second-strike” resource in case of an Iranian attack on the Jewish state. No such submarines were ever sighted; nor was their presence ever proven, which made it easy for the Iranians to turn a blind eye.
No longer is this possible since the US announced Israel’s participation in the Gulf defense force. The rules have changed. This change had its onset in Israel’s first attack in Iraq in the second half of July on an Iranian missile stock and command center. Tehran sees Israel’s Gulf role as the next step in the new game: the opening of a fifth front against Iran after Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

Too many open sores in the world for Iran to be allowed to get away with its thuggery and terror. Finishing Iran off, by change of the crazy mullah administration, should bring North Korea to a resolution, and China/USA to a better balance of trade and influence
Iran does not have an experience nor culture of democracy, it will be very hard after the change, much harder than with Japan. The Japanese were disciplined and the “emperor said” was very powerful.
But Iran is into the hands of the military-religious complex since decades, a regime much worse than communism, very difficult to get out of it peacefully and forge a democratic society in 2 or 3 generations.
More sanctions, specifically against exporting weapons, could be a better solution.
They had a functioning democratic republic up until 1953 when the brits and usa overthrew their pres, “operation ajax”. Reason: cheap oil for britain.
valter, then it’s now time for the brits and USA to OVERTHROW the ayatoolas and their cruel regime.
Reason: CHEAP OIL FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD!
More refugees are coming after the bombs drops better make room for them
Thanks for posting this. I had not heard of operation Ajax. I cant wait to read in depth about it.
Operation AJAX was when the USA and GB overthrew Mossadegh and installed The Shah.
Reza Pahlevi.
A war with Iran will only serve to kill many thousands of Iranians…all innocent. They have neither the hardware or the tech necessary to compete on our level…
Not necessarily so.
This is wrong, the previous regime was a monarch that dated back to the book of Esther. This was not a democracy!
The Shah of Iran had gotten very distant from the people, and unfortunately, he was suplanted by the extremest Muslim clerical regime that has turned all of Iran’s former friends into enemies.
Functioning Democratic Republics don’t nationalize other nations’ industries, as did Iran’s ‘democratic’ leader Iran in the early 1950s.
The fiction that Mossadegh was a free-market democratic leader needs to be put to bed, just like the notion Chavez in Venezuela was one just because he was democratically elected.
They both sold out to despotism and were justly rewarded for their betrayals.
That Iranian government was controlled by communists and the West was very concerned about Iran coming under Soviet control, thus threatening oil supplies and breaking out of containment to warm water ports, which was the prime strategy against the Soviet Union. That simply could not be allowed to happen.
It is not hard to get used to freedom after being oppressed so long by the mullahs.
Iran is Done… Allied forces are all in position. To anilate , this Foolish Muslim Nation… As long as Trump is in Power They are Toast.., Feel sorry for the FEW good people…..
If Jerusalem and Beirut were to reach an agreement on the demarcation of their borders, then that would be a significant foreign-policy achievement. https://nationalinterest.org/feature/trump-administration-tackling-one-worlds-most-dangerous-border-disputes-72306
Es un buen momento para acercar la guerra a la guarida del fanático asesino de judíos. Ha llegado la hora de devolver los golpes a los terroristas de la Guardia Revolucionaria Iraní a las puertas de su casa…
Que no tiemble el pulso en las respuestas puntuales necesarias contra el Estado terrotista persa.
Ni China, ni Rusia moverán un dedo si la respuesta es contundente y aleccionadora…
¡A por ellos, Israel !!
It is a good time to bring war to the den of the Jewish killer fan. The time has come to return the blows to the terrorists of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard at the doors of their house …
Let him not shake the pulse in the necessary punctual responses against the Persian terrotist state.
Neither China nor Russia will move a finger if the answer is blunt and sobering …
Go for them, Israel !!
Don’t mess with Israel, or you will not be there to regret it later!
He, he, he!
Check on the Mossad web site, recent pictures from the Bandar Abbas Iranian naval base taken from close to the water level, possibly by commando or through a periscope.
Israeli forces do not dare to be near the Iranian border as they will face a crashing response.
HIZBALLAH WILL KILL YOU THOUGH
The only victims of all this, are the Persian people. The foolish men who claim to lead them, have driven the truck into a ditch, and are desperately spinning the wheels and revving the engine to get out of it.
All their foolish foreign policies are driving Iran to ruin before anyone has even fired a single bullet, because sanctions are bringing Iran to its knees. The Persian people deserve a better leader, who understands that everyone in the region would benefit much much more from peace, than from this incredibly stupid offensive position Iran’s leaders take. that causes their own people to suffer more than the supposed “enemy”.
Therefore, the enemy of the Persian people, are the ….cough….”leaders” of Iran, as their little foreign adventures have brought all the hurt to their own country without the US or Israel needing to do anything militarily.
I totally agree Anonymous! That is also the reason America has NOT done anything military wise against Iran, because when they do the people will be united with their government instead of against it. But when Iran does enough, then the people will even understand when the violence comes.
More refugees are coming after the bombs drops better make room for them you war mongers just to sell arms
Better from Iran than from Israel.
if any war happen , it is better for any Jewish to search a Mouse Hole from now in order to hide, because Israel do not have any strategic depth and it will destroy with some Iranian stealth ballistic missiles.
Iran will have to be dealt with sooner or later. I prefer now while they don’t have nuclear weapons.
many countries want remove Iran from the world map,but they know better than us that Iran is very strong and powerful,none of them dare to attack this country.
Debka Halluzination
one young IDF soldie stabbed in West joradan land and all jews are out of socket
they want to open 5 fronts against iran ?
Iran tyranny over the international waterways is unacceptable.
But, there are 6 fronts, the 6th with Russia over the Caspian Sea demarcation of the border for how to split Caspian oil riches.
There is no West Jordanian land. That land is called Israel.

Finally someone who knows real history and facts not a theory or hypothesis cause America and the British are responsible for the state mind of the Iranian people today the leadership of Iran never let them forget what America and the British did to them
The cruel Ayatoolas have done worse things to the Persia people than the US or Brits ever did.
Plus now Suicidal Fascist Iran is gunning for War against 4 countries
USA, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UK
Marg Bar To va arbabanat & US , israels va har chi vatan forosheh!
The ayatollahs are itching for a showdown with the U.S. & Israel navies ! And they are about to get it.
Now, that they are wearing new, bright brown skirts, they will save face (and feces…)
Israeli Navy is already 3 or more years in there by invitation of UAE and others . There is nothing new in anything is written in here by anyone. Whats new is that Israel lost one of its subs in that Saudi underwater explosion –and this was written in here . So its actually confirms everything , and Dolphins have good German material basis , but nothing else . It was redun , but its subject to depressurizing accidents.
Which sub was lost?
The matchbox is about to ignite: https://raptureandendtimes.com/2019/06/21/rapture-2019-israels-enemies-destroyed-by-meteorites/
Yes, of course it’s “about to ignite”, but please don’t tell me that you’re a “date-setter”, claiming the rapture will happen in 2019?
Iran been behind the wheel since 1979, Brits and Americans in the ayatollahs rear view mirror make them paranoid.
Why Iran Fears Its Women Vida Movahed is spearheading a broader movement that both unifies and amplifies the disparate strains of dissent now percolating within Iran! https://nationalinterest.org/blog/middle-east-watch/why-iran-fears-its-women-73046
Iran Regime Unhinged after 3 Threats in 3 Days over Israel joining American-British Protection of Free Seas! Clearly, Problems developing in Iran!
that also depends what kind of “dealing” you have in mind.
a straight-out conventional war will kill a lot of innocent people, and end up with an american military occupation, like iraq.
a more palatable option would be regime change, with far fewer casualties, and no long term occupation.
Thx to President Trump and its allies for taking action againest this blood shed goverment and its branches like: Hezbollah … They are being feed throught iranians’ wealth.
Trump can’t afford another ME war prior to 2020 elections while world economy is faltering hence Israel will have to fight Iran by itself.
