Israeli Economy Minister Nir Barkat said on Sunday that the Israeli forces would “eliminate” Hezbollah and target Iran if the Palestinian militants open up a “northern front.”
“The plan of Iran is to attack Israel on all fronts. If we find they intend to target Israel, we will not just retaliate to those fronts, but we will go to the head of the snake, which is Iran,” Barkat told The Mail on Sunday. He added “the ayatollahs in Iran are not going to sleep good at night” if they move against Israel.
Barkat warned that Lebanon and the pro-Palestinian militant group Hezbollah “are going to pay a heavy price, similar to what Hamas is going to pay.”
Israel would go “after the heads of Iran” if necessary, the minister said. “Israel has a very clear message to our enemies. We are saying to them, look what’s happening in Gaza – you are going to get the same treatment if you attack us. We are going to wipe you off the face of the Earth.”
The statement came after Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Monday that the security situation for Israel may worsen very quickly. “If the war crimes against the Palestinians are not immediately stopped, other multiple fronts will open and this is inevitable,” he said.
The Iranian diplomat later doubled down, warning the US and Israel that, if they do not stop mistreating the Palestinians, “anything is possible at any moment and the region will go out of control.” Amir-Abdollahian added that further escalation would have “far-reaching repercussions.”
The IDF and Hezbollah have repeatedly exchanged fire since the fighting erupted between the Israeli forces and Hamas earlier this month. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Sunday that Hezbollah would suffer “unprecedented destruction” if it officially joins the war against the Jewish state.
The Israeli army made several large-scale incursions in Lebanon to fight the militants there in the past. The most recent invasion took place in 2006.
On October 7, Hamas and allied Palestinian groups attacked multiple Israeli settlements, prompting Israel to begin airstrikes on the Gaza Strip. More than 1,400 Israelis and over 4,300 Palestinians have been killed, according to officials from both sides. (RT)

Likely Iran, Pakistan and Turkey and friends will return the favor, and then it’s off to the races for real. The destruction of Israel may just be the start of what’s coming.
In order to implement what they want by 2030, there will have to be massive changes around the world. It’s only getting started.
Meanwhile the ADL is most concerned with the white supremacists here stateside. Which has me tickled. I haven’t felt this Dangerous since I was super-spreading “covid” by not wrapping a dirty hanky on my face while buying groceries.
My pureblood just boils, however, thinking about all those people over there in the war who are too wrapped up in their own genociding to acknowledge the real threat of White Christian Men in rural counties busying themselves with all matters of hateful productivity, silence-is-violence, and casual badthink while feeding the chickens.
++ good.
“Silence is Violence” has got to set some kind of record for a smug, all-purpose condemnation… of anybody who isn’t cheering for your side.
the ADL is much less funny when you realize they want the white man dead and/or enslaved, and have made good progress
He’s writing that check on American blood and treasure.
No check – it’s another big fat fucking grant from Unkle Shmuel.
The Israelis seem not to have learned that America eventually abandons all its allies.
No government that treats its citizens the way the American government does should be trusted by anybody.
Those that bark the loudest usually have the weakest bite.
The overwhelming truth is that numbers almost always overcome any technological advantage. Case in point: Rus-Ukr. All the over-priced tech and smart bombs you have will never overcome lack of boots on the ground or overwhelming fire superiority. You always want more guns on target than the enemy and it tends to prevail in large scale combat.
The world is seeing what the U.S. is now: a paper tiger. A fiat paper tiger as well. Four rotor drones have negated armor advantages and you would think the Israelies would have adapted after seeing what the Ukraine war has developed to counter low tech solutions against armor.
Irone Dome was proven to be nothing more than a robot porn title as it was overwhelmed by sheer volume. It is just like CWIS and CRAM when there is too much shit in the air it will auto-reset and wet the bed.
Once the countries we bullied realize we cannot win wars with the schmucks votes in running them, they will be more than happy to throw bodies at our allies and fair weather friends.
The U.S. is like the rich kid that bought all their friends due to lack of substance and no redeeming qualities. Watch what happens when the dollars run out.
Kind of like unchecked immigtation: cut off the handouts and then flow will barely be a trickle.
With all the fucken propaganda agitators in media it is hilarious to see the utter hypocrisy being leveled constantly.
Peavce sells, but no one is buying.
ZFG, out.
P.S. bark all day little doggies. We know you wont bite. Everyone that is so eager and gung ho to spill blood should put their asses on the line and get a reality check.
A saying that applies to Russia & China ;
Quantity , has a quality all its own.
Yup. Good old human wave attacks and tank rush.
ZFG, out.
The wisdom of Comrade Stalin.
Are those carbon neutral bombs and what are we going to have to do to offset the carbon foot print of ww3
That is a good question, BSiVC. Lawd, war has to be dirtiest carbon villain of all with all the jets and bombs and tanks and troop carriers. We need to levy a tax on Uncle Scam in the interest of the planet and globull warming.
Then there is Amir Weitmann who promises that Russia will “pay the price”.

Yeah, Israel is going to “make sure that Ukraine wins” and then make Russia pay the price. These fucking Israelis really have delusions of grandeur. I’ve never cared much one way or ‘tother about the Palestinians, but I’m really starting to hate these Israelis. They really played American fundamentalists like a drum. Meanwhile ACTUAL Christians who have survived for centuries in proximity to Muslims – in Bethlehem, in the wider Middle East, in Russia, in the Caucusus – are ignored or worse by the Israelis. I’ll never forget when US-created ISIS was butchering Christians in Syria (those not under the protective umbrella of Assad) and the Israelis gave not one single shit about them, preferring to blabber on about Hamas’ shooting some bottle rockets into Israel.
>>> but I’m really starting to hate these Israelis.
Ditto here. I really, for good or ill, started out with no inclination towards ‘anti-Semitism’… but then I went through >seven decades of observing the world around me, and became (shall we say) a little more nuanced in my opinions.
Israel is scared shitless of Iran, but at the same time their genocidal racial hatred for the Arabs prevents them from stopping hostilities.
Like I said before, this situation provides the perfect situation for Russia and China to do to the west what they were trying to do to them, arm and use a proxy to weaken and defeat the enemy.
By providing Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Libya with state of the art drones and missiles they can devastate Israel, and create another major drain on US arms and finances.
They can also create an oil embargo that will cripple the west economically. They are using the Neocons own propensity for war to weaken and defeat them.
Meanwhile the west is helping them by weakening itself through economic malfeasance and woke ideology.
Its like watching the village idiot whos been told that stabbing himself will harm the enemy. Bleeding profusely, thrashing about in the final death throes, still stabbing at himself.
Unfortunately this idiot will cause all manner of harm to everyone around him. Best to stay back and allow it to die, burn the corpse and use the ashes to fertilize a new start. No way around the pain and suffering this will cause so many will look to the shortest route thru it. Its gonna get ugly, very ugly.
Iran is the lynchpin of WWIII.
The instant they get involved it goes broadly kinetic and accelerates out of anyone’s control.
First thing they do: mine the Strait of Hormuz. Gas to $10 overnight…shortages potentially in a month.
Israel would better serve its populace by preparing emergency Malagasy language lessons for them.
If a country ever deserved to be wiped from the face of the earth, it is Israel. The Zionists in Israel must surely be the most evil people on the earth. The people in our own country who support them, are really not any better.
both sides on this video are vile and disgusting —
