- Also in July 2006, Hezbollah fighters fired rockets at Israel

New delhi date. 10 October 2023, Tuesday

Hamas has inflicted the biggest blow to Israel so far. About 800 Israelis have been killed in Hamas attacks. However, Israel immediately launched an attack on Gaza. The Israeli army has surrounded all of Gaza. But the real bearer of Israel's revenge is the one that funded and armed Hamas and trained it to attack. It is now clear that Hamas has received help from Iran for this heinous attack. Enmity between Iran and Israel is very old. Israel will attack every enemy but it seems that Iran will be the first. There are not only immediate reasons behind an Israeli attack on Iran. There are five other reasons why war experts believe that an attack on Iran is likely soon.

1. Iran has been openly supporting Hamas and Hezbollah

Almost 4 years ago today, Lebanon-based terrorist organization Hezbollah warned that if the US bothers to start a war against Iran, Israel will be retaliated by bombing mercilessly. This means that the Iranian-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah has long been waiting for an opportunity to attack Israel. At that time it was revealed that Iran had largely completed its nuclear program. On the other hand, at the same time, the Iranian army shot down an American drone. The then US President Donald Trump is also said to have ordered an attack on Iran but later retracted it. Hezbollah has also received military training, weapons and funds from Iran. It has also received support from Syria. Israel has been saying since the beginning that Iran is using Syrian soil against it. Also in July 2006, Hezbollah fighters fired rockets at Israel. In response, Israel launched an airstrike on Lebanon that killed nearly 1,200 people. 160 Israeli soldiers were also killed. Hezbollah is banned in the US, European Union, Canada and many other countries. Hezbollah has been a thorn in the side of the West and Israel since its inception. Even in Central Asia, many countries do not like this organization. It is certain that now Israel will attack the roots of Hezbollah. That is why the attack on Iran is considered certain.

2. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi guerrillas are a headache for Saudis

By weakening Iran, Israel wants to gather support in Central Asia. Saudi Arabia carried out deadly airstrikes on Houthi positions last year, but the Houthis continue to make their lives difficult, including the UAE, a member of the Saudi-led coalition against the Houthis. On January 17 last year, the Houthis attacked an industrial base near Abu Dhabi, setting oil trucks on fire. Three foreign workers were also killed in the attack. The Houthis also attacked near the international airport. Saudi Arabia formed a military coalition of Arab countries in 2015 to counter the Houthi rebels and restore the government in Yemen.

3. Iran, the root of all trouble for Israel

The attack on Israel by Hamas on Saturday has been described by the Wall Street Journal as Iran's support. Hamas was trained by Iranian security officials. The newspaper quoted several senior officers of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as saying that Hamas had been preparing air, land and sea attacks on Israel since August. It was the officers of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who prepared the sophisticated strategy of the Hamas attack. This news paper has claimed that if the talk of Iran's cooperation is proved to be true, now Israel's fight with Iran will be face-to-face.

4. Press Republicans and the Right on Biden Soft on Iran

US President Joe Biden has offered full assistance to Israel after the deadliest and largest ever attack on Israel. But Biden is being questioned as to why his administration approved a $6 billion fund for Iran at the same time as the prisoner swap. Now the issue is gaining so much momentum that the Republican Party is now demanding to oust Biden from the 2024 presidential election. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Iran has helped fund this war against Israel and Joe Biden's policies have filled Iran's coffers. He said Biden's policies have benefited Iran and now Israel is paying the price.

5. Iran can acquire a nuclear weapon at any time

It has been claimed for years that Iran could develop nuclear weapons at any time. Now recently, the news has gained momentum again that Iran can make a nuclear weapon in just two weeks. This information has been given in the Strategy for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Report 2023 by the US Defense Ministry. Iran has enriched uranium to 60%. Satellite images I found in 2023 also revealed that Iran was building nuclear weapons under the mountains. America imposed sanctions by UN Security Council, European Union etc. to stop Iran from making nuclear bomb from 2021 itself. In between, Iran got relief for about five years. But in January 2020, US President Trump again imposed strict sanctions on Iran. But it is said that America's stance towards Iran has softened again after Biden came to power. But now the US has an opportunity to stop its nuclear weapons program by invading Iran under the pretext of attacking Israel.
