Iran likely to attack Israel as US admits the threat is 'credible' and Biden remains confused

The U.S. is keeping close watch on what it sees as a "credible" threat of an Iran attack on Israel in response to Israel's strike on Iran's Damascus consulate where plans were likely being made to attack Israel. 

That's what is known as a preemptive strike, boys and girls.

"I would just say that we're watching this very, very closely," U.S. National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications (USNSCCSC) John Kirby (D) told reporters Friday. "We still deemed the potential threat by Iran here to be real, to be viable, certainly credible, and we're watching it as closely as we can."

"Right now, our focus is on having a conversation with our Israeli counterparts and making sure not just conversations, but making sure that they have what they need and that they're able to defend themselves," USNSCCSC Kirby (D) added. "We're also clear it would be imprudent if we didn't take a look at our own posture in the region to make sure that we're properly prepared as well."

Never underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up, someone once said.

Kirby assured that the U.S. remains in "constant communication" with Israeli counterparts to make sure they are ready for attack but refused to "armchair quarterback … in a public way in terms of the conversations we’re having or what we’re seeing in the intelligence picture."

Tehran threatened to respond against Israel now that they have an excuse that goes beyond mere anti-Semitism, after they struck the Iranian consulate in Damascus, killing seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) terrorist scum, including not one, but two generals. 

Over last weekend at the Quds Day commemoration, the Hezbollah leadership bragged about their willingness to attack Israel in retaliation.

U.S. CENTCOM Gen. Michael Kurilla has been in Israel, where he met with the IDF Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen Hezi Halevi and the cool-named Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant to assess military preparedness. He moved up his plans due to the imminent threat that comes from Iran which was confirmed by Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, although specific threats were not speculated on.

Travel advisories were also issued by the State Department for Israel on Thursday. U.S. government employees and their families have been restricted from travel there.

Iran has signaled to Biden's handler[s] that it will respond to Israel’s attack on the Damascus consulate, but may do so in a way that aims to avoid major escalation and will not act hastily, Reuters reported Thursday. It's like a guy punches you in the face and you go after his younger brother, or have someone else do it for you.
