Israel to Strike Iran?

I had a dream a couple of years ago that Israel launched a preemptive strike on Iran to take out their nuclear facilities. That dream still haunts me today, especially with the latest news that the Israeli Air Force is beginning to run practice exercises for just such an occasion. In my dream, this even was to signal the beginning of the end, or at least a the beginning of a very bad and prolonged period of hell in human history. It is believed pilots will be trained for long-range flights as a precautionary measure against possible Iranian attacks and in test-runs for potential strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Interestingly enough, these exercises are going to be practiced in conjunction with U.S. NATO forces. The U.S. has always been a strong supporter of Israel and I don't expect that to change any time soon.

In any case, Joe Biden's insistence that the U.S. would not stand in the way of such action should be a strong indication that Israel has the green light to move forward:
Biden stated that “The US cannot dictate to another sovereign nation what they can and cannot do. Israel can determine for itself – it’s a sovereign nation – what’s in their interest and what they decide to do relative to Iran and anyone else.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he would prefer to see Iran’s nuclear program stopped through diplomacy, but has not ruled out a military strike. Given the area's history of violence and the irreconcilable differences between the Jewish and Muslim worldview, I believe this even to be inevitable.

There is a much larger story at hand here. Future posts will continue to unravel what the future may hold.
