Is fairly obvious by now that Israel has a different definition
crossing "a redline" than it's allies.
In the past 24 hours in the next few days the question has
been asked several times in the last two years will be asked again.
What extent is Iran willing to go in order to save
your side regime?
Supplying weapons to Hezbollah, weapons that the Israelis
have already clearly stated they would not tolerate being given to them, was an
act for the purpose of achieving what?
Two years now I have talked about the possibility of Iran or Assad or both, forcing Israel into
taking actions that could label them as the "aggressor"!
It is also obvious in the past 24 hours a second critical
question needs to be answered.
What will Iran
and Assad do if Israel
actually enforces its "redline" doctrine?
Simply put, if Israel
has called Iran 's bluff,
brilliantly I might add by not conducting operations on Lebanese soil, what is Iran
going to do?
Messages this, "the ball is back in your court..........
Iran ........
what will you do............ what price are you willing to pay?
To have said for the last two years, the reluctance be
involved in a regional war is only trumped a nation is backed into a corner.
Escalation!
If that is the option that Iran or Assad or Hezbollah chooses,
and they should realize that the Israelis do whatever it takes to protect their
nation.
Where the bombing
raids into Syria
dangerous escalation?
Obviously the answer is yes.
Are the Iranians and Hezbollah prepared to take it to the
next level?
Next day or so may give us our answer, but I can assure you
is the most important decision coming out of Tehran
and Damascus
for the foreseeable future.
Yes, these are very dangerous times and it could very well
be that the next nation back away from their "redline" doctrine be
the Iranians.
There's a great quote from the movie 300 that applies in the
situation more than many understand expiration point
"Choose your next words carefully Leonidas, they may be your last as king".
