| Report: Israel warns Baghdad it may target Iran-backed militia; Tehran attempting to transfer missiles to Iraq |
| 2024-11-04 |
| [IsraelTimes] Israel has identified targets in Iraq it will strike if Iran-backed militia continue to attack Israel from there, ”Hey you! You there, in the black beard —- yes, you! Just to let you know that you are now a target if your idiot friends have any more missile s3x, so make sure they knock it off!” and has warned Baghdad, the London-based Saudi Elaph news site reports.Unnamed officials apparently tell the outlet that satellites have monitored Tehran working to transfer ballistic missiles and related equipment from Iran to Iraqi territory, with the presumed goal of using them in an expected upcoming attack on Israel. Satellites have monitored… *Snicker* The report says Israel is monitoring and identifying targets belonging to the Iran-backed militias, as well as Iraqi state targets, and has warned Baghdad that it must rein in the militias and stop them from using its territory to launch attacks.Good luck with that. The government of Lebanon has been warned for decades to control Hezbollah, but they, too, consider themselves hopeless. Iraqi sources are said to have expressed concern that Iran is using Iraq to shift the fighting away from its own territory.Iranian officials are increasingly threatening to launch yet another strike against Israel in response to Jerusalem’s October 26 attack on the Islamic Republic that targeted military bases and facilities and which Iran said killed at least five people. Yes, yes very scary. Remember that these are the people who staffed Iran’s counter-Mossad department in the IRGC… with Mossad agents. Who dutifully hunted for Mossad spies for years, providing the senior generals with regular reports until one day desks sat empty — it was later said they’d all decamped for Israel. Israel’s retaliatory strikes on Iranian military facilities came weeks after the Islamic Republic’s October 1 attack, in which Iran launched some 200 ballistic missiles at Israel, killing a Palestinian man in the West Bank.Any further attacks from either side could engulf the wider Middle East, already teetering over the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip and Israel’s ground operation of Lebanon, into a wider regional conflict just ahead of the US presidential election on Tuesday. |
