Forced Armageddon - or Endgame in Iran

I believe that Iran is setting a trap for Israel in Lebanon. I believe that they are doing this so that they can attack Israel directly without UN reprisals. And I believe that their attack will be nuclear.

Sound crazy? It isn’t.

Listen:

Iran could not hope to damage Israel with what the “experts” tell us is their military capacity. Their jets are aging, and they have no spare parts. They supposedly do not have a mature ballistic missile with sufficient range to hit Israel.

Yet “President” Ahmadinejad is promising to destroy Israel if they attack Syria. And this just after he hosted yet another anti-Israel conference in which he urged the Muslim world to strike Israel.

I know that I have argued that Ahmadinejad is not rational, at least not by Western standards. But he’s also not a complete buffoon. He wouldn’t make threats like that unless he thought he could back them up, would he?

We already know that Hezbollah is an organization funded by, supported by, armed by, and trained by Iran. We know that Iranian forces are in Lebanon assisting Hezbollah with missile attacks on IDF ships. We know that Syria (Iran’s proxy) is supplying rockets used in attacks on Israel.

Why would Hezbollah’s attack on Israel have conspicuous fingerprints from Iran and Syria all over it, unless the goal was to get Israel to attack Syria or even Iran?

Here’s how I see things playing out, or at least the way Ahmadinejad has planned it:

  • Syria continues to support Hezbollah in Lebanon, while thumbing their nose at Israel.
  • Israel attacks Damascus in an attempt to cut off the head of the Assad regime.
  • Iran attacks Israel with atomic bomb, claiming justification due to the Israeli attack on Syria

And then what?

Your guess is as good as mine.
