A country has finally done something about Iran – the primary architect of most terrorism in the middle east.
And what country did that something? Here’s the answer – and I doubt you’ll be surprised:
From an article in the Jerusalem Post:
Top Iranian commanders killed in Damascus airport strike – report
11 leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed in an airstrike targeting Damascus International Airport on Thursday evening, Saudi media reported the following morning.
The commander of the Revolutionary Guards in eastern Syria, Nur Rashid, was injured in the airstrike, Saudi media channel Al-Hadath reported.
IRGC commanders were reportedly at the airport to meet with high-ranking delegates.
Syrian media also claimed on Thursday evening that Israel had targeted sites in southern Syria and near Damascus with airstrikes in two separate waves.
Earlier this week, Iran vowed that Israel would “pay” for the killing of Sayyed Reza Mousavi, another IRGC commander who was killed by an alleged Israeli airstrike last Monday in the vicinity of Damascus.
In 1981 Israel took out Iran’s Osirak nuclear reactor. In public, countries throughout the Middle East condemned the Israeli action. But there were credible reports that, privately, they were more than a little thankful at the time…and were more openly thankful as time went on.
My guess? Israel’s hits on Iran’s military leadership – i.e. the people in charge of facilitating Iran’s proxy wars in the Middle East – will generate exactly the same response for exactly the same reason: that stopping Iran is contributing to the possibility of peace in that part of the world. At least I hope so.
I also hope Joe Biden – or, more exactly, the people running his presidency – are taking note and understanding the need for this action. But, based on the Biden administration’s “handling” of Iran, I wouldn’t bet a plugged nickel on it.
