Biden’s Moment of Truth in Iran
The Wall Street Journal is now urging President Biden to prepare for military action against Iran. In the words of the WSJ: “With negotiations likely to fail, he’d better be prepared for a military strike”

Comments from the top U.S. commander in the Middle East suggest that U.S. is increasingly wary of Iran’s growing missile power
IF this arms deal with Russia is confirmed it could dramatically alter the military balance of power in the region
If this deal is confirmed — and that’s a big IF — then don’t be surprised if Israel launches air strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities in a matter of weeks. If not sooner — before the weapons can be delivered
Israel has the F-35s to carry out the strike. It has the Iron Dome air defence system to neutralise Iran’s retaliation. But it lacks one key element. Unless a regional player like Saudi Arabia allows Israeli jets to refuel in its territory, Israel’s threat to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities remain empty threats
The message is clear: if Israel strikes Iran’s nuclear facilities, as it has been threatening to do, this will be Iran’s response
On the final day of the Great Prophet 17 exercises the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ Aerospace Force simultaneously launched 16 ballistic missiles, many of which were capable of reaching Israel
Israel’s former military intelligence chief says the country was involved in the Jan. 2020 assassination of Iranian General Soleimani
Without them Israel would have to rely on its aging refuelling planes, or stopovers in Saudi Arabia. Both of which add new levels of complexity and danger to a proposed mission already fraught with danger and complexity
A senior diplomatic source said on Friday that the Americans did not voice opposition to the Israeli preparations for a military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities
No doubt in anticipation of U.S./Israel strikes on its nuclear facilities, the test follows reports of explosions heard in the area around the Natanz nuclear facility on Saturday
General Kenneth McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command says Iran is closer to developing nuclear weapons than ever before. Although President Biden says the U.S. doesn’t want another destabilizing Middle East war, White House officials have not ruled out a targeted military strike
