| US Intelligence Is 'Convinced' Major Iranian Response Against Israel Imminent |
| 2024-04-06 |
| [ZERO] US intelligence is 'convinced' that Iran is readying a retaliation response against Israel for the Monday attack on the Iranian embassy complex in Syria, US officials have told CBS News, and that an attack could be imminent. The officials say that the US "has picked up intelligence that Iran is planning a retaliatory attack that would include a swarm of Shaheed loitering drones and cruise missiles. Officials say the timing and target are unknown, but a proportional response to the Damascus attack would be to hit an Israeli diplomatic facility." As for possible timing they believe it will come between now and the end of Ramadan next week. Israel has already issued firm warnings that any direct attack from Iranian soil will be met with a "stronger" response, taking the conflict to the next level. |

| #14 Iran has tried a great many major responses over the years. I note that none were successful. In fact, the 10/7 Hamas eruption was supposed to be part of a major response that included Hamas/Islamic Jihad elements in the West Bank and Hizbollah coming across the Lebanese border on the heels of a massive missile barrage. Unfortunately for that long-planned sharp, short war (version 2.0), Hamas jumped the gun and blew their wad — Gaza now will need to be rebuilt from the underground up. |

| #13 @#8 - Ex-ac-a-lac-a-lee. How many times (and for how long) have we heard that Iran is six months away from having a nuclear bomb? |

| #12 "Iran's stern warning that the United States must "bear responsibility" for an Israeli airstrike on its consulate in Damascus, despite U.S. claims of non-involvement, marks a tense moment in international relations." "...when liberal media outlets express shock over the likely imminent bloodshed on U.S. soil, remind them that Joe Biden rolled out the welcome mat for terrorists to enter through our southern border. Oh, and lest we forget, Obama gave billions of dollars to Iran to finance their heinous acts of mass murder and mayhem." https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/04/don_t_say_you_weren_t_warned.html |

| #10 There is a part of me which thinks the WCKN strike is a face, and the embassy strike is the real outrage. |

| #9 I am convinced it is going to rain. Sure, today is sunny and clear, but it is going to rain. I can't say when or how much, but when it does, I'm gonna say "I told you so!" |

| #8 Problem is, a major Iranian response is always imminent. Even when nothing is happening. |

| #5 Israel has had years to contemplate an Iranian attack. I should think that with good reason Iran would really worry about a counter-reaction. |

| #4 Yeah. The US slow walking arms to Israel may just leave Israel with no choice but to use what they have... |
