It could certainly launch long-range air strikes on Iran \u2013 Israel currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flightglobal.com\/fixed-wing\/israel-signs-for-boeing-kc-46-plans-for-more-f-35s-and-heavy-lift-helicopters\/142553.article\">operates Boeing KC-707 tankers and has committed to buy two Boeing KC-46 tankers<\/a><em> \u2013 <\/em>so it has the air-to-air refuelling capability to do so.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>While that may be enough for one or maybe a few large-scale air strikes, it will take a whole lot more than that to bring Iran to its knees. In fact it would take a prolonged ground-air operation and that\u2019s probably beyond Israel\u2019s capability, given that it is also tied-up on multiple fronts with Hezbollah, in Lebanon and Syria and in Gaza with Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>So beyond the initial strikes, Israel will need Western help and support in dealing with Iran\u2019s response. And once Iran starts launching retaliatory missile strikes there\u2019s no question that Western military support will be forthcoming.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because Zionist agents effectively control U.S. and UK foreign policy. In the UK, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is an<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stormfront.org\/forum\/t1286153\/\"> avowed Zionist<\/a>, while with President Biden all but senile; U.S. foreign policy is in the hands Anthony Blinken, who is also <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/05\/25\/blinken-reaffirms-us-support-for-israel-in-netanyahu-meeting\/\">committed in his support for Israel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meaning that Western foreign policy will back Israel, as will its military.<\/p>\n<p>But to successfully neutralise Iran\u2019s extensive missile arsenal will take large scale, sustained aerial bombardment that only the U.S. is capable of. With Britain, France, Canada, Australia and a few others in supporting roles, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Is this what Israel\u2019s threats about \u201cregime change\u201d are aimed at securing?<\/p>\n<p>If that is indeed the case, then there\u2019s one major factor that\u2019s missing from the equation. If Israel ignites a war with Iran and the West steps in, what will Russia and China\u2019s response be? Will they sit on the sidelines as they did during the Iraq War? Or will we see a replay of what happened in Syria with direct Russian intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever happens we suspect that conflict with Iran has been kept on a backburner. It\u2019s a final option for the global elite should all else fail because it will almost certainly ignite a wider conflict.<\/p>\n<p>So if the global vaccination program doesn\u2019t meet its goals or it starts to meet significant mass opposition expect the prospect of an Israeli strike on Iran to loom ever larger.<\/p>\n<p>If and when it occurs the powers that be can then use it as a pretext to impose strict martial law, mandatory vaccinations and the mass detention of all those who oppose such measures.

What Erdan said was interpreted by <em>The Times of Israel <\/em>as \u201cone of the most far-reaching comments by an Israeli official in favor of regime change in Tehran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Erdan said he was working to rally the world against Iran. \u201cWe would like to see actions that are much more determined from the international community against Iran,\u2019 he said. \u201cWe hope the international community will draw this conclusion as soon as possible because we need to put an end to this murderousness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Erdan\u2019s comments come after a week of almost daily threats from Israeli officials that they might take military action against Iran over a deadly attack on the Mercer Street, an Israeli-linked ship that was hit by a drone last week.
