IS IRAN TAKING THE NEXT STEP?
Well, things continue to get more and more desperate for Syria and over the past 24 hrs they have taken even a more dramatic change for the worse.
Rumor has it the number killed in the past 24 hrs is much higher than it has been for two weeks.
A sure sign Assad is losing his battle to keep the lid on Syria.
What makes matters worse for him, is Iran breathing down his neck on what he should and shouldn't be doing.
So, it is obvious Iran has ordered what I have been predicting for several weeks now.
Hamas and Hezbollah have been given instructions to turn up the heat with Israel and the past 48hrs shows just how dramatic that has happened.
Remember, the only ace in the hole Iran has for problems in Syria, and eventually Iran, is a major distraction.
Hamas and to some degree Hezbollah have begun a campaign that could easily lead to Israel striking harder than they have since the 2008 conflict. In my opinion, the actions taken by Israel today are the most saver in three years and they are more than likely going to increase their operations.
Is this the beginning of Iran starting a conflict to attempt to save Syria from open revolution?
It is very possible!
A million people taking the bomb shelters in Israel is not a typical Saturday afternoon event.
Two things will need to happen to see this operation really intensify.
1. Iran must believe that Assad is about to lose control of Syria.
2. Israel must decide the time has come to remove the threat of Hamas from Gaza.
I find it hard to believe Israel will move to neutralize Hamas without taking action against Hezbollah in Lebanon as well.
To do this, they will have to mobilize a significant portion of their military.
That is the thing to watch for.
If you hear news articles, on BBC or Al Jazzera, CNN and FOX are drunk on the budget right now, then really bad times may be near at hand for the Middle East.
Something else to watch; the price of a barrel of oil in the next 24 to 48 hrs.
That's a real clue.
Oil Speculators do not live in a vacuum.
They know as many people as the CIA/ or the Department of State.
