The world is waiting anxiously for Iran to make the first move against Israel. U.S. CENTCOM Commander General Michael Erik Kurilla didn’t waste any time getting to Jerusalem. He’s in face-to-face meetings with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Herzl Halevi. They’re working out the details of how to respond. We have an entire carrier group standing by to help play defense.
Israel ready for war
Israel knows that an attack is imminent. Iran made it crystal clear in their saber rattling speeches, ever since somebody killed visiting Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. The Israelis are taking the blame for it, whether they did it or not.
Iran already arrested half the security force and deny that a bomb was planted in his bedroom weeks ago. It was a projectile, they insist. Fired short range. It remains embarrassing for them because that explanation still means one of their trusted security forces had to launch it.
The Ayatollah sent an official message through diplomatic channels. Specifically, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri contacted Hungary’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, who gave Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz a jingle on Sunday. “Iran has decided to attack Israel.”
The visit by @CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla at this time, is a direct translation of U.S. support for Israel into action. The relationship between Israel and the United States is unshakeable.

The Pentagon had already deployed our forces and General Kurilla was already on a plane. He’s there to get intelligence direct in real time. Meanwhile, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are tuning in to watch on the big screen TV’s of the situation room.
According to Katz, “Iran has informed us that it intends to attack Israel. The world should exact a price from Iran for any aggressive action it carries out.” That’s exactly why Commander Kurilla is there.
Iran’s diplomat told his radical counterpart in Bahrain, “silence toward the expanding evil acts of the Zionist regime will be detrimental to the regional stability.” He wants their troops in battle. “Indifference” to the Israelis after a string of assassinations “is tantamount to giving the regime an incentive.”
Any time now
The spooks in U.S. Intelligence are convinced that “an Iranian attack could come as soon as the next 48 hours.” That’s probably being optimistic. All the experts are waiting for World War III to begin any moment now. Israel is directly fighting Iran but they’re radical Arabs backed by others of similar persuasion.
Hamas and Hezbollah are only two of their Mid-East allies. They also have Russia on their side. The Ayatollah has been selling Vlad the missiles he uses in Ukraine. When we get involved in support of the IDF, that could be the perfect distraction China’s been waiting for.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is assured by the rapid appearance of Commander Kurilla. The visit, he notes, is “a direct translation of US support for Israel into action.”

They “discussed the coordination of defense activities and ways to expand the international coalition facing aggressive actions by Iran and its proxies.” The general consensus is blast them back to the stone age.
King Abdullah of Jordan remains steadfast in support of Israel. They were part of the coalition which stood with the Israelis against an Iranian attack in April.
Over in Saudi Arabia, Prince “Happy Cat” Mohammed bin Salman told Iran that they can’t send any planes or missiles through Saudi airspace. He also very carefully didn’t say whether he’s letting Israel fly through, or not.
