Tehran's Terror

October 3, 2024

On October 1, Iran bombed Tel Aviv as it did in April. Both attacks were ineffective, repelled by Israel’s “Iron Dome” air defense system with help from Jordan, America, France, and Britain. This time, Tehran attacked in retaliation for Israel’s recent assassination of Hezbollah terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah and the booby-trapping of pagers and cellphones held by thousands of his henchmen in Lebanon. Now, Israel’s cabinet deliberates as to its next steps. Americans want a measured response, as occurred the last time when Israel destroyed a single military facility. But now there’s growing support for a major counter-attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities and oil economy. Behind this push is also the reality that it is only a matter of time before Iran develops a nuke or gets one from its allies, Russia or North Korea. “This is a once-in-a-50-year opportunity,” said former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. “We need to take out Iran’s nuclear program, we need to attack Iran’s energy facilities… and finally allow the Iranian people to rise — the amazing Iranian people, who have one of the worst regimes on earth.”
