Iran planning its next attack on Israel

 Newsmax:

Iran is planning a "strong and complex" attack on Israel that will involve more powerful warheads and other weapons not used in its previous two assaults on the Jewish state this year, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

Tehran could launch the offensive during the transition between Tuesday's U.S. presidential election and the inauguration held in Washington on Jan. 20, according to the report, which cited Iranian and Arab officials briefed on the plans.

According to the sources, the regime will include its conventional army in the attack and not just the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, because four soldiers and a civilian were killed by Israel's Oct. 26 retaliatory strikes on Iran. The IRGC, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, normally handles security matters related to Israel.

In retaliation for Iran's Oct. 1 ballistic missile attack on Israel, on Oct. 26, dozens of Israeli aircraft, including refuelers and spy planes, struck targets across Iran in several waves. The targets reportedly included missile and drone manufacturing facilities and launch sites, as well as air-defense batteries, but not Iran's nuclear program or energy infrastructure.

Israel has warned the Iraqi government that unless it reins in the Iranian-backed militias, the country could face retaliation.

Iran started this war and could be dragging Iraq into it too.  At some point, the US could come to Israel's aid too.  Iran is currently in the grips of religious bigots who hate Israel because it rejected Islam.  Iraq would be wise not to get involved.  Iran desperately needs new leadership before the current bunch triggers a wider war.
