As of September 27, 2021, Debka wrote, “Iran has violated its contract with the IAEA and is getting away with it; harassing the UN inspectors and sabotaging their efforts, without being punished They have raised uranium enrichment to 60pc purity, a short step before weapons grade, with paying any price.,” he said. “There are people who have decided that Iran’s drive for a nuke is unstoppable, or they may be fed up with hearing about it. Israel doesn’t have that privilege. We will not tire and will not let Iran have a nuclear weapon.,” the prime minister stressed." Besides this, they now have 3 new secret nuclear sites.
AIPAC has said that inspectors must be permitted unimpeded access to suspect sites. They must fully explain its prior weaponization efforts. Sanctions relief must commence only after Iran complies with its commitments. Iran's nuclear weapons quest must be blocked for decades. Iran must dismantle its nuclear infrastructure so it has no path to a nuclear weapon.
They are not a passive country, minding their own business. The Middle East is volatile because they are backing and instigating states near Israel as they have the intention of wiping this little country out. They have threatened Israel for years.
October 18, 2021 finds Iran behind the throne in Lebanon and Syria, moving the pieces of Russia, Hezbollah, and the Syrian military on the board.
Hezbollah and its political allies have intensified Lebanon’s political crisis and paralyzed the new government by trying to push the cabinet to dismiss Tarek Bitar, the judge in charge of investigating the 2020 Beirut blast.
The pressure on Bitar and the growing political crisis – which crescended with the spilling of blood in Beirut last week – have been “orchestrated” by certain political parties to send a message to the Lebanese people, Fawaz continued: “If you ask for justice, you’ll get another civil war.”
Iran has lost many men in Syria. It's easier for them to use Hezbollah. Despite Iran's costly presence in Syria, public support for military involvement in Syria remains strong among the Iranians because of religious motivations and security concerns. From January 2013 to March 2017, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps lost 2,100 soldiers in Syria and 9,000 wounded, according to Iran's veterans’ affairs office. These included 418 ranking officers and several generals In August 2017, Brigadier General Hamid Abazari stated that 25% of the soldiers that Iran had sent to Syria had been killed or wounded, implying several tens of thousands had served. In March 2019, IRGC officer and strategist Hassan Abbasi stated that 2,300 Iranians "went to Syria where they were martyred in recent years." Iranian-backed militias have also incurred heavy losses, with Liwa Fatemiyoun alone reporting over 10,000 casualties (2,000+ killed, 8,000+ wounded) by January 2018.
Hezbollah has recently boasted of being able to shoot 2,000 missiles per day into Israel. They've also boasted of having 100,000 fighters. "
Hezbollah involvement in the Syrian Civil War has been substantial since the beginning of armed insurgency phase of the Syrian Civil War in 2011, and evolved into active support for Ba'athist government forces and troop deployment from 2012 onwards.
provides a critical land route for Iran to transfer weapons to in . That was endangered when rebels and threatened the regime of Syrian President . Iran sent troops and instructed Hezbollah to send fighters to defend the regime. Iran also sought to use the chaos of the civil war to establish bases in Syria to facilitate the transfer of materiel to Hezbollah and to create forward positions from which to threaten Israel.
Israel made clear it would not stand by while Iran created facts on the ground in Syria. Throughout the civil war Israel bombed Iranian convoys, bases and troops. When Iran began to use bases in as well, Israel demonstrated its military reach and commitment to prevent Iran from threatening it from third countries by attacking weapons and ammunition depots controlled by Iraqi militias with ties to Iran (, August 26, 2019). In 2021, Israel became increasingly concerned that Iran may deploy up to 200 long-range missiles in Iraq (, February 16, 2021).
Following the downing over Israeli territory of an Iranian drone launched from Syria on February 10, 2018, Israeli and Syrian forces for the first time since 1982. Israel subsequently disclosed that the Iranian drone was armed with explosives and on its way to carry out an attack in Israel.
On April 9, 2018, Israel launched an airstrike against the T4 military base near the desert town of Palmyra that coordinates Iranian-backed militias, killing four Iranian military advisers. Russian and Iranian news services reported that two Israeli F-15 war planes carried out the strike, which a conflict monitor said killed 14 people.
Iranian forces in Syria launched a barrage of 20 rockets at Israel on May 8, 2018, following U.S. President decision to the U.S. from the Iranian Nuclear deal (). Some of the rockets were intercepted by Israel’s missile defense system, and some landed in Syrian territory. No significant damage or injuries were reported. In retaliation, Israeli warplanes struck dozens of Iranian military installations in Syria, effectively destroying nearly all of the Iranian military infrastructure in Syria according to generals. This was the largest operation in decades, and 23 Iranians died in the strikes.
Nevertheless, Iran continued to reinforce positions in Syria and seek ways to target Israel. In August 2019, for example, Iran planned to launch explosive-laden drones from a luxury villa near Damascus. The IDF tracked the arrival of Shi’ite fighters from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Quds force in Damascus. The group was spotted on Syrian side of the Golan Heights on August 22. The IDF thwarted the planned attack, discovered the location of the terrorists’ hideout and destroyed the drones (, August 25, 2019).
Iran reportedly moved its forces to an area it controls along the Syria-Iraq border because it was not able to protect assets closer to Damascus and the Israeli border. An Israeli intelligence official said, “It transferred their missiles that can hit anywhere in Israeli territory, and can move them through a smuggling route to even closer positions. [Iran] is establishing a system of drones and cruise missiles and military industries it could not sustain in the Damascus area” (, January 14, 2021).This development is believed to be the reason for a series of Israeli airstrikes in January 2021.
