The Latest Iran president warns of 'massive' response if Israel launches 'tiniest invasion'

Source: AP News

Iran’s president has warned that the “tiniest invasion” by Israel would bring a “massive and harsh” response, as the region braces for potential Israeli retaliation after Iran’s attack over the weekend.

President Ebrahim Raisi spoke Wednesday at an annual army parade that was moved to a barracks north of the capital, Tehran, from its usual venue on a highway in the city’s southern outskirts. Iranian authorities gave no explanation for its relocation, and state television didn’t broadcast it live, as it has in previous years.

Iran launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel over the weekend in response to an apparent Israeli strike on Iran’s embassy compound in Syria on April 1 that killed 12 people, including two Iranian generals.

Israel, with help from the United States, the United Kingdom, neighboring Jordan and other nations, successfully intercepted nearly all the missiles and drones.

If the Israelis hit Iran, and Iran responds, I'm wagering the US and others will be involved in intercepting the response. An Iranian response would expend more munitions that they cannot send to Russia.

Why on Earth would Israel even want to launch the “tiniest invasion” of Iran? Not worth their time, energy nor resources. Running a two-front war that’s spread out that far would be stretching it, to say the least.

No, if Israel wants an invasion of Iran to happen, they’re going to try and goad us into doing their dirty work for them. And that’s extremely unlikely to happen unless Cantaloupe Caligula manages to get his tiny, disgusting paws back in the White House.
