🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Joe Biden Inches Toward War with Iran, Makes Israel Full Military Partner
🔵 Preparing for any potential war against Iran, the Biden administration has formally elevated Israel in military planning. Israel's changed status comes as the U.S. military refocuses from the 'war on terror' to potential combat with the big four—China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran.
⚡️ Government sources tell Newsweek that behind the seeming bureaucratic adjustment, the new assignment is the most profound change for the U.S. military since Israel's founding. The hope, some might say pipedream, is to pave the way for a regional military alliance similar to NATO in Europe, not only to prepare for war with Iran but also thwart Russian and Chinese encroachment in the region.
🔵 American CENTCOM commander Gen. Michael ("Erik") Kurilla then went to Israel to meet with Kohavi, making his fourth visit in just seven months since he had become commander of CENTCOM. Calling the military alliance "ironclad," Kurilla said that the Middle East "is at the center of America's strategic competition with Russia and China." The true focus for CENTCOM, though, is Iran.
🔵 Israel has always been a perplexing country for the U.S. military: in war plans, it was a country to be defended in the case of the big "if" but never acknowledged as such. As a result, Israel was treated as special, different and secret, assigned to a command outside the Middle East.
🔵 What is more, CENTCOM needed relevance in the post-terrorism world of military planning. The discussions were already underway when President Biden took office. Military sources agree that the Abraham Accords facilitated the change, even if the main objective behind the renewed military alliance was focused on Iran.

Lebanese News and Updates
Admin's comment on the death of the Irish soldier in Lebanon As much as Hezbullah is annoyed by the presence of UN and their role in South Lebanon that is hindering its freedom of movement, Hezbullah's leadership is very keen in avoiding all sorts of disagreements…
Local media reported that Hezbullah handed to the Lebanese army intelligence directorate the alleged shooter who killed an Irish soldier in Lebanon.
