The United States said on Sunday it will send to Israel an advanced anti-missile system - and U.S. troops to operate it - in a bid to bolster the country's air defenses following missile attacks by Iran.

U.S. President Joe Biden said he was sending the system "to defend Israel."

Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder said the deployment of a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery would augment Israel's integrated air defense system.

"It is part of the broader adjustments the U.S. military has made in recent months, to support the defense of Israel and protect Americans from attacks by Iran and Iranian-aligned militias," Ryder said in a statement.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warned earlier on Sunday that the United States was putting the lives of its troops "at risk by deploying them to operate U.S. missile systems in Israel."

"While we have made tremendous efforts in recent days to contain an all-out war in our region, I say it clearly that we have no red lines in defending our people and interests," Araqchi posted on X.

Iran launched missiles and drones at Israel in April. Then on Oct. 1, Iran fired more than 180 ballistic missiles at Israel amid an escalation in fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. Many were intercepted in flight but some penetrated missile defenses.​

Israel’s plan to respond to Iran attack is ready: source

Israel's plan to respond to Iran's October 1 attack is ready, a source familiar with the matter told CNN, without providing further information.

CNN has reached out to the Israeli ministry of defense for comment.

Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have assured the US that a counterstrike on Iran would be limited to military targets rather than oil or nuclear facilities, according to a source.

Iran launched dozens of missiles toward Israel in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and others. Netanyahu had vowed Iran would "pay" for the attack.

Meanwhile, Iran's atomic energy agency spokesperson Behrouz Kamalvandi said yesterday the probability of an attack on Iran's nuclear sites remains low but any potential damage would be "quickly compensated".​

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards chief Hossein Salami warned Thursday of further retaliation against Israel if it attacks Iranian targets, which Israel has vowed to do after Iran’s missile attack on October 1.

‘If you make a mistake and attack our targets, whether in the region or in Iran, we will strike you again painfully,’ Salami said at the funeral of a Guards general killed in an Israeli strike last month.

Abbas Nilforoushan, a top commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force foreign operations arm, was killed on September 27 alongside Hassan Nasrallah, the chief of Lebanon’s Hezbollah, in an Israeli strike on south Beirut.

Funeral services for Nilforoushan, whose body the Guards said was recovered last week, began on Monday in Iraq. His body was then moved to Iran for burial in his hometown of Isfahan later Thursday.

During his speech Salami criticised as ‘not reliable’ the THAAD missile defence battery which the Pentagon on Tuesday said arrived in Israel, along with about 100 American troops to operate it.

‘Do not trust these systems. You cannot massacre Muslim nations and remain safe,’ he said.

‘We know your weaknesses. You know them well,’ he added addressing Israel.

The Terminal High Altitude Area Defence system is ‘designed to intercept targets outside and inside the atmosphere,’ according to its manufacturer Lockheed Martin.

Salami’s remarks came as Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi intensified diplomatic efforts on ways to contain the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon from spreading across the region.

Araghchi has over the past nearly two weeks visited Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, Oman and Jordan.

He is currently in Egypt and is scheduled to head to Turkey afterwards.

Iran has said its October 1 missile barrage, most of which was intercepted by Israeli air defences, according to Israel, was in retaliation for the killing of Nilforoushan, Nasrallah, and the political chief of the Palestinian movement Hamas.​

Irans in such a commanding position against Israel. Like a chess player making his moves.

All western systems defeated so easily by Iran.

There is only one way to destroy Iran, which would require the use of nuclear weapons. However, now most analysts concur that Iran is a nuke threshold state.

Israel pushing Iran to take legitimate steps: Turkey

Israel’s attacks in Lebanon and Gaza are pushing Iran to take ‘legitimate steps’, Turkey’s foreign minister said Saturday in a joint press conference in Istanbul with his Iranian counterpart.

‘Israel’s aggressive stance is forcing Iran to take legitimate steps,’ Turkey’s Hakan Fidan said alongside Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was ‘constantly opening new fronts in the region’ and ‘trying to draw Iran into this war,’ he said.

‘The risk of war spreading to the entire region should not be underestimated.’

Araghchi, who took part in Friday’s meeting of South Caucasus nations in Istanbul, said the rising tension in Lebanon was ‘very worrying’.

‘The possibility of war in the region is always serious, and no one other than the Zionist regime wants that to happen. We want to reduce tensions, but.. we are ready for any scenario,’ he said.

Iran backs the Islamist groups Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, whose top leaders have been killed by Israel in the widening Middle East crisis.

Iran also backs Huthi rebels in Yemen and Shiite militias in Iraq, as well as Syria’s armed forces. Tehran collectively calls these proxies and militias an ‘axis of resistance’ against Israel.

On October 1, Iran launched a barrage of around 200 missiles in retaliation for the September 27 killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut and the July 31 killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

Israel, which has vowed to strike back at Iran for that barrage, on Wednesday killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, mastermind of the October 7, 2023 attacks that triggered the current conflict.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have warned they would hit Israel ‘painfully’ if it attacks Iranian targets.​

True. Irans not doing the unthinkable yet, which we all know entails pushing in millions of armed troops via those tunnels in the Golan and southern Lebanon and end the drama in a day or two.

I guess it’ll be unacceptable if Iran does something so outrageous. No matter which way we cut it, Iran will be viewed as an aggressor party when Iran is not even semite and intervening in semite affairs will turn iran into a pariah worse than North Korea.

It’s the same with the nuke issue. If the Iranians declared them today, the other surrounding bukvaas countries will go into immediate panic and depression and cause the west a lot of grief.

What are Iran getting out of this bravado ?

One salvo is all we got, killed 3 ? (or some ridiculously small no of Jews)

The time to test a bomb was yesterday ffs !

Again, I'll repeat.. this conflict is in limbo rn as the worl;d awaits the results of the US election

Trump is unabashedly pro Ijrael (big Xtian zio base, big big money Jew donors)

Kamala is a lefty, an authoritarian, but still a lefty (I'm guessing most US musalmands be voting that way, but she can't go all in AGAINST the Israelis just yet because a lot of Jew money going her way too, they traditionally vote Dem in the US)

Few weeks to go.. the direction of this war will be determined by who wins the US elections

If Kamla Devi wins, relations will sour between the 2, just as they did with Obama, who went after Netanyahu, calling his "the most right wing administration in Israel's history" or something to that extent.

Either way, good fun times ahead.

Iran’s holding Ijh-raheel hostage. 5,000 Ijh-Raheeli casualties now with more than 3,000 dead. Thousands more crippled for life. Northern Ijh-Raheel evacuated.

Iran launching direct strikes on Ijh-Raheel is the new normal.

One more Oct 7th and it will pull the rug from underneath Ijh-Raheel.

Now that would be something else, ek bar fir se Oct 7th type !

no possible, but.. karna hota, kar chuke hotay ab tak. I'm sure they'd like nothing more than to carry one out like that again, and with the added "advantage" of the world now being desensitized to the whole thing, people are fatigued.. nobody will call label it "terror" anymore.

karo, yaar, mazaa aa jayings !

I have news for you bro.

The west (and indeed India) see Iran as Muslim.

This Aryan v Semite distinction is only in your head and probably that of the Arab (semite) pro Muslim world.

 

[Sharma Ji]

Doc, if given a chance, what part of Iran would you carve out your peoples' kingdom ? (no can't have it all)

I'd take their northern mountain areas, Kurdistan province, it looks beautiful.

High mountain snow country of the NE, bordering Afghanistan.

Actually, large parts of what is Afghanistan today.

India ka Iran ke saath there is some kind of connection, bhai. Even right winger proper ideologues say as much.

Metaphysical lafda, can't explain it.. I've always felt a sort of affinity toward them, somehow, always.. since much before getting into this whole geopolitical "scene" .. also, no ideologue here, it is just something I've noticed

Khorasan. Where we started from. Where we made our last stand.

Nice, this looks like an enchanted place.. something out of star wars

full prince of persia type too

 

[Sharma Ji]

Iran musta been part of ancient akhand Bharat, tabhi meri ancestral soul memory activate ho jaati hai.

[Vsdoc]
