Why Israel now hit Iran – When did the business really started and what Trump knew

« As the Bible teaches us, when someone comes to kill you, get up and hit the first. »

This phrase from Talmud, the basic sacred text of Judaism, cited Benjamin Netanyahu to justify the great attack that launched Israel against Iran on Friday morning and continued with a new round of wounds later in the night, Friendly Yemeni guerrillas of Yemen.

Under the code name « Leo Rising », the Israeli operation resulted in key military targets and nuclear facilities being affected – and the planning plan of Gaza and the expulsion of its Palestinian inhabitants is in full swing. In the midst of yesterday’s telephone contacts with foreign leaders – such as Germany, France and Britain and with the announced by his office with US President Trump and Russian President Putin – the Israeli prime minister pledged that the operations would continue to do so. Democracy, at the expense of which, like its allies in the Middle East, has already suffered severe blows in recent months, most of the time with the valuable US assistance.

Washington was fully aware of the new military attack on Iran, Netanyahu stressed, stressing that he had given the mandate for the destruction of the Iranian nuclear arsenal since last November.

Trump: Agree before it’s too late

Washington’s official reaction has implied that there was no immediate US involvement, at least at a military level. However, according to President Trump himself yesterday on Axios, Israel used « large US equipment » in the Iran attack (while US officials reported two US destroyers to the Eastern Mediterranean). At Reuters, Donald Trump said he was not worried about erupting a regional war, even stressing that it is « not clear » whether Iran still has a nuclear program after the new Israeli attack.

In fact, the US not only knew in detail what was going to happen, but, according to Axios reports, they worked closely with Israel on the success of the business, especially at the intelligence level, for 8 whole months. Among other things, the Americans implied that they were opposed to it, which was a « smoke » to mislead Tehran – at the same time that Israel was intensively preparing the blow, with the help of Mosad, which has deeply infiltrated Iran.

It is also no coincidence that it was ordered to remove all « unnecessary » diplomatic staff from many countries in the Middle East, while military bases have been declared alert.

Finally, there is no doubt that if the war escalates, the US forces will take active action. Donald Trump himself, who described the attack as « wonderful » and said he was ready to defend Israel himself. He added threatening that the next wave of attacks is already designed and will be « much worse than they have known to date ».

« Iran has to conclude an agreement before there is anything standing up, rescuing what once was the Iranian Empire (…) just do it before it is too late, » adding that it had given a 60 -day ultimatum to Tehran.

What will Iran do …

It is certain that the margins for Iran’s leadership have narrowed. With Hamas weakened and Hezbollah « squeezed », with the Yemen’s relatively secluded and Syria no longer controlled by the Assad regime, it is obvious that it is approaching-if it has not already meant-the « time-time » that will determine its position.

And this is something that, as everyone understands, concerns other forces with vital interests there, such as the allies of Russia and Turkey (both condemned Israel’s attack), as well as the traditional competitor of Saudi Arabia, even though the two seemed to see it.
