    Iran is reportedly signaling that it will now respond to Israel's limited strike on Iranian military and missile production facilities last week after it initially sought to downplay the incident because it wanted to avoid escalating a military conflict against a far superior opponent.

    Iranian state-controlled media highlighted remarks from two top officials this week who said that they would respond after Israel struck the country following Iran's decision to fire 180 ballistic missiles at Israel.

    "Iran's response to the Zionist aggression is definite," said General Ali Fadavi, the deputy commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). "We have never left an aggression unanswered in 40 years. We are capable of destroying all that the Zionists possess with one operation."

    Gholamhossein Mohammadi Golpayegani, head of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's office, said that Iran would deliver a "fierce, tooth-breaking response."

    Analysts say that Iran is stuck between a rock and a hard place because if it does not respond, it will appear weak and lose credibility with its allies and terrorist proxy groups. Not responding will also embolden opposition groups in the country that are gaining popularity as the country increasingly sours on the regime.

    However, if Iran responds, it risks provoking a much greater response from Israel after Israel has repeatedly proven that it has significant military and technological advantages over Iran. Israel wiped out Iran's air defenses during its strikes last week, allowing the Israel Air Force (IAF) to operate freely over Iranian airspace.

    "We hit its underbelly," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "The boastful talk by the Iranian regime's heads cannot conceal and compensate for the fact that Israel now has greater freedom to operate in Iran than ever before."

    The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel has directly conveyed to Iran that if it launches a response, Israel will "mount a far more aggressive attack in return."

    Iran is also considering having one of its proxies launch a strike against Israel believing that going that route will protect it from an Israeli response.

    Kamal Kharrazi, Iran's Strategic Council on Foreign Relations head, said on Friday that the Islamic regime now possesses the technological capabilities to create a nuclear weapon.

    Iran already has enough enriched uranium that - if it decided to break out - could build a weapon in roughly a week, assuming that they have technological abilities.

    "We now have the technical capabilities necessary to produce nuclear weapons," he claimed. "We are ready for war but we do not want to escalate because we have currently proven our ability to deter from doing so."

    "The matter is up to the Israelis - if they really want to continue, we will respond to them," he continued. "Our missile capabilities are clear to everyone and everyone believes in them, and we have proven that during our operations."

26 days after the October 7th Terror attacks on Israel, where over 1400 Jewish men, women and children were gruesomely murdered, and hundreds more made hostage: Should the Biden /Harris administration finally state that the administration's primary Middle East negotiating partner, Iran, is behind the funding and strategy of the aggressors, the Hamas Terrorists, or continue to take the more moderate position of "Don't," which is clearly not working?
  Yes, name Iran as the funding /strategy culprit, and begin to enforce the President Trump era sanctions to END Iran's ability to prosecute this war against Israel and the United States.
  No, Iran is a valuable partner in the motives of the Biden / Harris administration, and must not be named as the culprit and our enemy.
  I have larger concerns just to survive in this economy.

In the minds of many, since January 20, 2021, the World has become far less safe in every theater of conflict, beginning with the attack of Israel by Iran /Hamas, so the question becomes: What caused this Worldwide calamity of extreme geopolitical dysfunction, and what will correct it?
  Joe Biden is the cause of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when a Republican is elected president.
  This delayed Worldwide dysfunction and constant conflict is all Donald Trump's fault, as it is with everything that occurs going forward, and long before the man ever became the 45th president..
  Joe Biden is the "root cause" of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when former President Donald John Trump is elected president.
  In the imitable words of Alfred E. Newman: "What, me worry?"
