Only
weeks after signing a
“historic” nuclear
agreement with Iran in Vienna on July 14th, the NATO axis and
its prime ally
Israel are already escalating their threats of an overt war on Iran,
Lebanon
and Syria.
Meanwhile, the brutality of NATO-
and Israel-led genocidal
overt and covert wars on Yemen, Syria and Iraq reaches new extremes...

As
the Iran nuclear deal continues to dominate
international headlines, shock waves of sorts have been reverberating
in Israel
after it was revealed that recordings had been released by former prime
minister [1999-2001] and defense minister [2007-2013] Ehud Barak in
which [Israel’s]
alleged plans to strike Iran [...] had been graphically discussed [in
2010, 2011
and 2012].
On
Monday, an unnamed Israeli senior security official
told Walla news that his country’s military is more prepared now than
in
previous years to conduct a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities should
the
orders be handed down to do so.

[emphasis

“The
JCPOA [ Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action ] (*) [...] does not remove any
of our options
when it comes to preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. As I
have repeatedly
emphasized, my
Administration will take whatever means are necessary to achieve
that goal, including military means. Should Iran seek to
dash toward a nuclear
weapon, all of the
options available to the United States – including the
military option– will remain available through the life of the deal and
beyond.
[...]
Throughout
my time in office I have consistently viewed
Israel’s security as sacrosanct. [...] My Administration has pursued an
unprecedented level
of military, intelligence, and security
cooperation with Israel [...] [N]o [U.S.]
administration has done more for
Israel’s security than mine. [...]
As
I have underscored repeatedly, it is imperative that,
even as we effectively cut off Iran’s pathways to a nuclear weapon
through
implementation of the JCPOA, we take steps to ensure we and our allies
and
partners are more capable than ever to deal with Iran’s destabilizing
activities
and support for terrorism. [...] [W]e will maintain
powerful sanctions
targeting Iran’s support for groups such as Hizballah, its
destabilizing role
in Yemen, its backing of the Assad regime, its missile program, and its
human
rights abuses at home. Critically, I made sure that the United States
reserved its
right to maintain and enforce existing sanctions and even to deploy new
sanctions”

IDF
puts finishing touches on mass evacuation plan in case of war with
Hezbollah
by
Noam Amir and Maariv Hashavua, Jerusalem Post, 2
September 2015
excerpts from: Israel
defense chiefs see war with Hezbollah as matter of 'when', not 'if'
by Noam Amir and Maariv
Hashavua, Jerusalem Post, 20 August 2015
In recent
weeks, analysts have noticed a historic alignment that has taken hold
between Hezbollah and the Lebanese military. For the first time ever,
IDF [Israel Defense Forces] Northern Command soldiers manning lookout
posts have noticed that Hezbollah and Lebanese troops have been
conducting joint patrols. Now Israeli military officials are wondering
just how deep the cooperation between the two organizations extends.
Israel is
disturbed by these developments, and it has communicated its concerns
to world powers. In some cases, Israeli officials have made clear their
redlines regarding the nature and quality of weaponry it will permit
the Lebanese forces to possess.
An
interesting dynamic has taken shape between Hezbollah and the Lebanese
government, and Israel is not taking it lightly. Hezbollah today has
members of parliament and enough government ministers that can tilt
major decisions in its direction. Will the Lebanese military fight
alongside Hezbollah in the next war? Israel does not rule this out, and
as such is preparing for the eventuality. [...]
On the day
that hostilities erupt, the northern communities will be evacuated. In
their place will come battalions of combat troops. The evacuation plans
have already been prepared, as have the plans for an attack on the
other side of the border. Israel will unleash the full extent of its
might and do all in its power in order to finish the next round within
days.
The army’s
comprehensive new strategic plan, recently unveiled by IDF Chief of
Staff Lt.-Gen. Gadi Eisenkot, leaves no room for excuses. When the IDF
embarks on the next war, it will stop only after it completes its
mission. That means it will cease its fire after the enemy raises the
white flag of surrender – or after the world stops the army from
battering Hezbollah and bombarding Lebanese territory.

excerpt from: IDF
troops prepare for possible incursion into Syria
by Yoav Zitun, Ynetnews,
17 August 2015
The
IDF [Israel Defense Forces] has already prepared plans to attack Syria
in light of a recent military
assessment that Iran has opened a new front against Israel on the Golan
Heights.
Military
exercises in the area over the last two weeks have focused primarily on
a
scenario of offensive operations inside Syrian territory in response to
possible action from the Syrian border such as the infiltration of
dozens of
terrorists armed with anti-tank weapons, machine guns, grenades and
light
weapons into one of the communities along the border.
The
exercises included possible IDF responses to such infiltrations with
troops
firing at fixed points on the Syrian side of the border.
Simultaneously,
officials expect a barrage of mortar bombs to be fired at communities
in the
Golan Heights during such a scenario.
