Should have identified Saudi Arabia as part of the effort to thwart Iran, although it is not clear exactly what role they played.

Excellent article Pieter, thank you.

As long as the Obama/Biden administration continues to not enforce sanctions on Iranian oil exports (while also sending billions of dollars to the mullahs in Iran) there will be no end to the chaos in the Middle East.

The O Biden administration’s policies towards Iran are totally incoherent and appeasing…

“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile-hoping it will eat him last”(Winston Churchill)

Where ever the Islamic republic sponsors a terror proxy the host state has failed. Lebanon, Syria and Yemen are all now dysfunctional failed states. Jordan, with their long border with Israel is next in their crosshairs.

Clearly this latest massive missile attack on Israel should clue in the western world that the Hamas/Gaza conflict is only a microcosm of a much broader threat to Israel and ultimately the free west that the Islamists despise globally. (Eg. Recent terrible Islamic terrorist murders in Bondi/Sydney this past weekend)

While the US administration dithers and holds Israel back from counter attacks on the IRGC the mullahs continue to refine their nuclear program.

A game changer if and when the Islamic Republic breaks out…

Thank you for a succinct summary. And if Israel is muted in her response, does that mean, this event will be normalised the way Gazan rockets are normalised? Is this what the Israeli citizens, Jews, Muslims and Christians alike, deserve?

The goal of progressive Democratic Party politicians from the ‘Squad’ to Chris Van Hollen and Elizabeth Warren is to weaken Israel’s ability to defend itself, not just to hit back at the Islamists attacking it. Progressives are useful idiots of the anti-Jewish far left and do the work of Iran’s axis in Congress.

Why wouldn’t they? Biden has shown the world how weak the US is.
