[Salon] IRAN STRIKES BACK, WHAT WILL ISRAEL DO NEXT?



IRAN STRIKES BACK, WHAT WILL ISRAEL DO NEXT?

Larry C Johnson    April 14, 2024

I killed two birds with one video tonight. I was planning to do a write up on Iran’s attack on Israel today citing Article 51 authority, i.e. self-defense, when I was asked by Sputnik News to record a video. So here it is.

My key take away, if you don’t have time to watch, is that today’s strike was a symbolic warning. Iran only used a minuscule portion of its capabilities. Iran’s UN Ambassador issued a statement that stated today’s action was in response to the attack two weeks ago in Damascus on Iran’s Embassy Annex. If Israel “takes its medicine” and does not respond then Iran plans no further action. However, If Israel decides to attack Iranian interests again, especially inside Iran, the IRGC is prepared to significantly increase the scale of the next attack.

Here is the bottomline — Iran can fire an enormous number of drones, rockets and missiles that will overwhelm Israel’s air defense system. Today was just a warning. We’ll find out if Israel paid attention.
