"If Iran [shoots] and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go."
From a Jan. 26 Telegram post by Amir Tsarfati:
So what is the main reason for the delay in the strike on Iran?
Believe it or not, at this stage it is largely the weather in the United States, which has prevented additional defense systems and interceptors from reaching our region.
Starting Tuesday (Jan. 27), once all flights resume and the planned military aid is fully in place, the show may begin. Remember, President Trump wants a strong and unmistakably decisive blow. To achieve that, Iranian radar and communication systems must first be blinded, powerful new weapons introduced to shock and disable forces on the ground, and only then a massive strike launched against those responsible for the massacres in Iran.
A visit to Yemen and Iraq may also be required to neutralize Iranian proxies operating there.
Hallel Bitton Rosen of Israel's Channel 14 reports that a summary of the meeting held overnight (Jan. 24) between U.S. Central Command Commander General Brad Cooper and senior Israel Defense Forces officials indicates that there is currently no set timetable for a strike on Iran:
According to the report, the U.S. will require time to build up significant military capabilities, although forces are prepared to carry out an immediate strike if necessary.
The Americans prefer an operation that is clean, rapid, and low-cost, with the objective focused on those responsible for harming civilians and protesters.
The report also notes that there is readiness to pursue regime change in Iran if circumstances require it.
Before the brutal crackdown on protesters in Iran, the Trump administration's policy has been to impose maximum pressure through sanctions on the regime. The president has offered to negotiate with the regime.
