REPORT: Israel Readies Air Force to 'Forcefully' Deliver 'Retaliatory Counter-Strike' Against Iran

I wanted to end my headline with "Joe Biden Hardest Hit," but it would've been too long and perhaps a bit too snarky. Besides, we'll get to that part in a bit. Either way, it's coming, folks, and the Islamist extremists in Iran will deserve every minute of an Israeli retaliatory counter-strike, which is reportedly already in the making.

Israel's reliable Channel 12 news carried the initial report on Monday, which has since been widely covered by local media in the Jewish state.

Here's more:

Israel has decided to hit Iran “clearly and forcefully” and is already preparing its warplanes to carry out the strike. The reported decision comes after two war cabinet meetings in which leaders of the Jewish nation debated how to respond to barrage of 350 suicide drones and missile. 

Channel 12 said the country’s air force — which includes US-made F-16, F-15 and F-35 fighter jets — is already gearing up to deliver a retaliatory counter-strike against the rogue Islamic nation, though no timeline was provided. According to the report, the strike will be intended as a message that Israel “will not allow an attack of that magnitude against it to pass without a reaction.”

Israeli military chief Lt. Gen Herzi Halevi confirmed Monday that Iran’s actions “will be met with a response,” but also declined to elaborate or indicate the timing, suggesting that Israel will strike Iran at a time and method of its own choosing. 

The report of the planned strike comes on the heels of Joe Biden contemptibly telling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "take the W" in the aftermath of Iran's strike and not retaliate — and that the U.S. would not back such a strike.

Can you envision Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, or Donald Trump demanding anything close to that ridiculous of Israeli — or any American ally? Particularly Israel, which is surrounded by neighbors that would like nothing better than to see the Jewish state destroyed.

Me, neither.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, in a White House press conference on Monday, called Iran’s drone and cruise missile attack against Israel “a spectacular and embarrassing failure,” adding that Israel is in a "far stronger strategic position” today than before the Iranian attack.

Call me skeptical, but Kirby's transparent and failed attempt at a Jedi mind trick to stop Israel from pounding the snot out of Iran was not only laughable; his "far stronger position" claim will only remain correct if Israel launches what sounds like will be a devastating counter-strike, which would send a very clear "Don't mess with us" message to the mad mullahs in Tehran.

As we reported earlier on Monday, Fox News host Mark Levin fired up X (formerly Twitter) and blistered the daylights out of Biden, his serial-lying secretary of state, Antony Blinken, and the "lunacy of [their] Iran policy." 

Here's a snippet from "The Great One."

It is Biden and Blinken who are impulsive, ignorant, reckless, incompetent, and dangerous. It is they who’ve abandoned a rational and prudent foreign policy in pursuit of incoherent and ideologically-driven utopian ambitions. And it is they who’ve escalated military conflict on multiple continents. 

For them, there is no good or evil, right or wrong. Hence, they fund Iran and threaten Israel. They seek Netanyahu’s ouster and the ayatollah’s approval.

Cowards appease. Cowards desperately try to play both sides against the middle, ignorantly refusing to believe some of history's most horrific lessons in doing so.

Joe Biden and Antony Blinken are appeasing cowards who continue to try to play both sides against the middle, to the detriment of the American people and beyond.
