It may not seem possible at this point, but things in the Middle East are getting even more wild and out of control as Iran has put all of its defense systems around its nuclear sites on high alert as fears increase of an attack by both Israel and the United States.
And let’s be honest. Iran doesn’t have a strong track record of being logical and mentally stable when it comes to stuff like this. What are the chances that they have a nuclear weapon and will use it on Israel?
That would without a doubt be the launch point for World War III. The use of nuclear weapons in such a conflict are almost a guarantee.
Two high-level sources within the Iranian government have stated that the Islamic Republic is now bolstering its defenses around specific critical nuclear and missile sites, which includes the deployment of extra air defense systems.
“Officials say the measures are in response to growing concerns of potential joint military action by Israel and the United States.
It follows warnings from US intelligence to both the Biden and Trump administrations that Israel would likely target key Iranian nuclear sites this year,” The Telegraph reported.
“They [Iranian authorities] are just waiting for the attack and are anticipating it every night and everything has been on high alert – even in sites that no one knows about,” one source said to The Telegraph.
“Work to fortify nuclear sites has been ongoing for years but it has intensified over the past year, particularly since Israel launched the first attack,” he continued. “Recent developments, including Donald Trump’s comments and reports about potential plans from his administration to strike Iran, have further intensified activities.”
The report goes on to discuss how Israel and Iran have been locked in a war between the Jewish State and the Islamic Republic’s proxy groups, like Hamas, for quite some time.
In October last year, Iran launched unprecedented strikes involving 200 missiles on Israel, which retaliated with airstrikes. Iran now fears that with the support of Mr Trump, who has advocated for Israel to hit Iran’s nuclear facilities, an Israeli attack is imminent.
The official acknowledged that any big strike could leave Iran vulnerable against its defence systems which were heavily weakened by last year’s Israel strikes.
“Several additional [air defence system] launchers have been deployed, but there is an understanding that they may not be effective in the event of a large-scale strike,” he stated.
General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) aerospace force commander, announced this week that Iran is also developing a ballistic missile defence system to defend against an Israeli attack.
“Regarding anti-ballistic systems, in recent events, we suffered damage in this area, which shows a deficiency in the country’s ballistic defence sector,” he explained.
“In every meeting that I, along with [IRGC] commander [Hossein] Salami and [chief of staff of Iran’s armed force] commander [Mohammad] Bagheri, had with the supreme leader, his first question was always: ‘What happened? Where does it stand?’” he further elaborated.
He then revealed the defense system will be finished and ready to equip in Tehran and several other major cities in March.
Another day passes and we are one step closer to a global conflict. Pray for peace.
