Israel has threatened to attack Iran as Tehran continues to enrich uranium beyond permissible limits set under an earlier nuclear deal.
As talks between Iran and the United States to revive the deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), remain inconclusive, the shrill from Tel Aviv is getting louder.
However, the claim to attack Iran could prove hollow as Washington has refused to expedite the sale of a system that Israel would need to bomb Iran if the need arises.
The new commander of the Israel Air Force (IAF) Major General Tomer Bar has indicated that if required, Israel could hit Iran’s nuclear program tomorrow, in an interview that was published in the Jerusalem Post.
Since the new round of talks on the #JCPOA finding a common ground has become more difficult than ever as arch enemy @IDF has threatened @Iran with strikes on it's Nuclear facilities holding the west hostage.

Bar, who presently leads the Force Design Directorate, will take leadership of the Israeli Air Force in April next. Bar has sounded the bugle with his ambitions that hint at an impending Israeli attack if Iran refuses to agree to the deal proposed by the United States and other participants.
Iran has taken a hardened position, much to the disenchantment of all stakeholders and Israel.
The talks have been hanging fire and show no signs of coming to a mutually-agreed settlement. Earlier this month, Iran took a U-turn and walked back on all the prior compromises made in the previous deal. The seventh round of the talks held recently too ended in a stalemate.
Besides an openly belligerent Israel that has made calls to bomb Iran if it did not go back to the deal, the US Special Envoy to Iran has also warned Iran of an “escalating crisis” if the talks were to fail.
The envoy has expressed concerns regarding Iran having the capability to build nuclear weapons if the deal was not concluded in a few weeks and if its uranium enrichment did not stop in time.

While the United States has said that it will have to come up with a Plan B in the event of the talks falling apart again, it is not immediately clear what such a plan entails for Iran.
Though the US remains Israel’s closest partner, it recently shot down its request to expedite the sale of Boeing Mid-air refuellers — a system without which Israel cannot attack Iran.
Does Israeli Warning Hold Water?
Despite allegations that the IAF’s preparations for a future strike on Iran are being hampered by a shortage of funding, the incoming chief stated that the issue is “not black and white.”
“The mission of the ‘third circle’ (Iran) was there from the moment I sat here as the head of the Force Design Directorate and the chief of staff spoke with me,” the IAF commander said.
“We aren’t starting from the beginning. We’ve got F-35s, for multi-layer defense, we purchased hundreds of Iron Dome interceptors.”
While Israel does have the American F-35 stealth fighters (called F-35I Adir), the aircraft cannot fly to Iran and come back without refueling. The refueling would require the F-35s to either land at a friendly base near Iran, an option that is too far-fetched for Israel or it would need to be refueled by a tanker.
However, with the US refusing to fast-track the sale of KC-46 tankers, the possibility of Israel bombing Iran remains bleak for now. The F-35s have been proudly mentioned as the fighter with which the Commander would bomb Iran but will have to either make a pit-stop at UAE or Saudi Arabia, neither of which would want to be linked to an attack on their rival Iran, at least directly.
In response to reports that the US has refused to expedite the delivery of two KC-46 tanker refueling planes to Israel, Bar claimed he was present at the meeting when the request was made and that the IDF is presently investigating the reasons for the refusal.
“The United States is more than a friendly neighbor, and they want to have a long-term relationship. I’m not sure why they refused, but I haven’t ruled out the prospect of acquiring at least two refuelers ahead of time.”
The United States administration is believed to be sitting on the tanker sale so as to defer the Israeli plan to launch airstrikes on Iran which could potentially snowball into a much bigger crisis.
Meanwhile, US national security advisor Jake Sullivan arrived in Israel on December 21 to discuss Iran’s nuclear program with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and called for a “common strategy” against Iran, reported Al Jazeera.
According to an Israeli government release, Sullivan added that “It’s critical that we get down together and build a shared strategy, a common viewpoint, and find a way forward that fundamentally ensures the interests of both countries.”
This was in response to Israel’s concerns about its security in the backdrop of Iran inching closer to acquiring nuclear weapons.
Even though there has been no direct mention of airstrikes on Iran and the delaying of the KC-46 tanker sale in the talks, it could be speculated that the US has been treading carefully so as to avoid any untoward crisis that engulfs the wider region and has ramifications for its partners and allies.
KC-46 Tankers

A dozen Israeli bomber aircraft will be able to stay in the air for up to 12 hours with a range of over 11,000 kilometers thanks to the new Boeing KC-46 tanker aircraft. With the help of its 55-foot fly-by-wire refueling boom, this aircraft can refuel planes at a rate of 1,200 gallons per minute.
The KC-46 can refuel three planes concurrently in three to four minutes using its wing air refueling pods. This would provide Israel’s Defense Forces (IDF) a significant advantage in any operations against Iran, which is about 1000 kilometers from Israel’s borders.
Israel had asked the US to expedite the arrival of the KC-46 aircraft, apparently in preparation for air strikes on Iran. According to accounts, the Biden administration turned down the request, claiming that the first jet would not arrive until 2024. The deal for these tankers was signed in 2020.
The talks between the US and Israel regarding the expediting of the sale, however, are continuing.
All we know is war for the last 2 thousand years. find sense out of nonsense.
Mystic and Yogi
My latest theory is that they are baiting Russia to roll into Ukraine and get bogged down so that the USof Israel can attack Iran. While Russia is occupied with a guerilla war the brave airmen of the IDF can do a sneak attack under the darkness of the new moon with their free USA supplied F-35s.
The next Purim celebration can be twin towers under attack and Iran mushroom clouds.
The Biden tranny administration could change it’s mind about tankers any time, even help out with USAF KC-10s in a moments notice. Biden has yet to demonstrate his leadership with a bomb raid. Trump now says Iran would of destroyed Israel by now if it wasn’t for him. Our God Kings know what’s best for our commercial interests and dollar domination.
Our fearless Secretary of State Jew Anthony Blinken, could lead us to a Zionist victory over those Persian upstarts who dared defy our oil will and removed our beloved Shah who was protecting our oil fields from Iranian self interest and nationalism. The Democratic Party is anxious to improve their image after their last foray back in 1990 when Jimmy Carter’s raid to rescue Amerikan hostages ended in disaster. How dare those Persians take Jew moles and CIA operatives as hostages and stop our destruction of their nation.

Iran hostage rescue mission ends in disaster
On April 24, 1980, an ill-fated military operation to rescue the 52 American hostages held in Tehran ends with eight U.S. servicemen dead and no hostages rescued.
With the Iran Hostage Crisis stretching into its sixth month and all diplomatic appeals to the Iranian government ending in failure, President Jimmy Carter ordered the military mission as a last ditch attempt to save the hostages. During the operation, three of eight helicopters failed, crippling the crucial airborne plans. The mission was then canceled at the staging area in Iran, but during the withdrawal one of the retreating helicopters collided with one of six C-130 transport planes, killing eight service members and injuring five. The next day, a somber Jimmy Carter gave a press conference in which he took full responsibility for the tragedy. The hostages were not released for another 270 days.”
Israelis constant warmongering and terrorism has alienated the british pubic
Iran is our last hope to stop the jew taking the whole middle east they then will collapse the currencies and say we will all be their slaves
iran might do well to target those wonderful tankers? class? anyone? Bueller?

I have just seen a V advert where limbless brainwashed british soldiers from afghanistan and iraq are asking for donations.
BOLLOX tes men deserve what happened to them
how dare they go o another country to kill and injure people and when they get injured beg for money
these folk are criminals
For the sake of world peace and the future of mankind, the home of international Zionism needs to be challenged and undermined at each and every possible opportunity.
Our enemies’ enemies are indeed our friends.
Israeli leaders, PM & at least 80% of its society are showing real signs of schizophrenia.
The evidence is clear as day. These parasites are Evil beyond words.
I wish Israel and all its inhabitants would just vanish into thin Air.
The world would change instantly if Israel just vanished into thin Air.
Its the Jew that makes all the Problems, they lie, cheat & steal.
I was told this Jewish Joke about 20 years ago.
A jewish father & son whilst doing some work on a pergola in the backyard needed a Tool to complete the Job. That tool was a hammer.
The father asked his son to go next door and ask the neighbour if they could borror a Hammer to complete the pergola.
The son went next door and knocked on the Door.
The Neighbour opened his door and the young kid asked My father sent me over to ask if he could borror your hammer.
The neighbour said to the kid we don’t own one or have one.
The kid returned to his father and said Dad the neighbour didn’t have a hammer.
Ok son, Go into the garage and in the tool box is our hammer can you just grab ours.
I once lived next door to a Jewish man & he was the rudest neighbour I have ever lived next to.
He just thought he could do anything he wanted & didn’t have any consideration for anyone.
I was so relieved when he moved out. Even the owner of the place was relieved aswell.
Forget Iran’s air defenses…let us ignore all the limitations Zionists have to strike Iran’s nuclear targets successfully and just assume they actually can do it right now… so we ask what’s next!? Yep, Israel will be wiped of the map!
It is interesting that Iran can conventionally strike Israel with missiles or drones, but they can only rely on Bombers and Fighter Jets for their strikes. Perhaps they should try sabotage again, because at least then Iran would respond through the same means.
These are just propaganda pieces for internal use and the entire world specially the artificial Arab states to see that Israel is being held back by uncle Sam! Otherwise Zionists have the will to take on Iran, even though Hamas next door is still there!

The planes that bombed Pearl Harbour must have been awfully close, wouldn’t you say?
What, we haven’t been able to manufacture nuclear planes?
Sometimes I wonder if nuclear bombs are real?
Just sayin’
I would think the US is showing hesitancy because such a war will be the proving ground for its F-35s or the failures thereof.
Hezbollah are fighting for us too
the christian people in the UK owe them a big debt of thanks

Twice this century brainwashed British numpties have rushed abroad to kill foreign people
in World Wars, while the real heros refused to go abroad and kill folk, the Conscientious Objectors or ” conchies ” as they were called were put into prison and treated with great harshness, beatings were weekly, but thes emen are now recognised as the real heros.

@Robert
Thanks for the link.
Took a quick look, deserves looking into closely.
I have my suspicions of nuclear bombs.
It’s actually incredible what a few regular explosives can do.
