In response to reports, Tehran threatened that it would expand the war beyond the region if Israel launched new strikes.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. retired Col.

Iran has threatened to use new and more deadly weapons, whatever that means.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Can a lame-duck PM start war with Iran?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After failed elections in Israel on Oct. 27, Israeli President Isaac Herzog asked opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot on Nov. 8 to form a new government. If he succeeds, he would become Israel\u2019s new prime minister and oust Netanyahu.<\/p>\n<p>Ynet news reported, however, that under Israeli law an interim caretaker government does have the authority wage war.<\/p>\n<p>Following the latest reports that Netanyahu wants to restart attacks on Iran, Eisenkot accused Netanyahu of trying to derail his coalition bid.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Iran\u2019s ultimatum for the United States arrives today at around 5 to 6 p.m. Eastern Time. This ultimatum includes a deadline, after which all-out war could begin at much greater intensity than ever seen from Iran so far. Iran has basically challenged the U.S. to <strong>accept <em>all<\/em> the terms of the deal it has been offering since the June 17 MOU was signed by Trump, <em>or<\/em> Iran will, without any further provocation, advance to all-out war.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Western intel has confirmed that the majority of Iran\u2019s original missile arsenal remains intact and is starting to once again grow, despite Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth\u2019s claim that U.S. strikes have crippled Iran\u2019s ability to produce missiles and that the country\u2019s defense-industrial base is essentially \u201cgone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Iran unveiled an all-new underground missile city earlier this week and posted photos of it online.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like everything is murky and up in the air in terms of where the standoff in the Middle East is heading.<\/p>\n<p>Is this evening\u2019s deadline a case of Iran calling Trump\u2019s bluff or do you believe they are getting ready to pre-emptively strike U.S. assets in the region, rather than wait to be hit again by the U.S. or Israel?<\/p>\n<p>I do know this: Trump\u2019s entire exit strategy seems predicated upon getting Iran to cry uncle. I don\u2019t see that happening. Even if the U.S. or Israel were to nuke Iran, I don\u2019t see this 3,000-year-old civilization ever capitulating to what they see as the \u201cGreat Satan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And what about Israel? Is Netanyahu serious about relaunching the war against Iran? Or is his order to mobilize for war merely a PR stunt meant to boost his political standing?<\/p>\n<p>I could be wrong, but I personally do not believe that Israel, even under the leadership of the extreme warhawk and politically desperate Netanyahu, would launch a renewed round of attacks on Iran without U.S. permission and cooperation. Iran has proven itself too powerful and would retaliate by wiping out major Israeli cities, but perhaps this is exactly what Netanyahu is hoping will happen with the result being that the U.S. administration feels it would then have to re-enter the war in defense of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>I also don\u2019t believe that a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/michaeltsnyder.substack.com\/p\/shouting-match-from-hell-trump-and?publication_id=1520363&amp;post_id=224545005&amp;isFreemail=true&amp;r=qrouj&amp;triedRedirect=true\">\u201cshouting match from hell\u201d<\/a><\/strong> took place in an alleged angry telephone conversation between Trump and Netanyahu. This is pure theater that the media reports as fact when any disagreements between these two long-time allies is likely overblown or didn\u2019t happen at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not accepting a penny in corporate ad money allows me to be totally independent<\/strong>.
