The day after I forecasted a new war with Iran, the deputy commander of the Iranian air force has announced they have developed a plan of attack to bomb Israel "if" Iran is bombed by the Jewish State. "We have drawn up a plan to strike back at Israel with our bombers if this regime (Israel) makes a silly mistake," Gen. Mohammad Alavi, deputy air force chief, said in a statement. General Alavi also made it clear that Israel is within range of their Shahab-3 missile, which is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
Iranian officials can tell us all they want that these plans are for a counter-attack, but I think the United States and Israel need to treat this as a preparation for war and draw up some plans of our own, if we haven't done so already. I said yesterday that this war was coming sooner then we wanted, but I didn't know the planning would start today. Iran and the United States need to be careful in making nuclear threats, because no one wants to start a nuclear-powered World War III. That would end in much destruction as well as more lives lost than ever imagined before, and would take the focus from soldiers killing soldiers, to soldiers wiping out entire cities and states.
I absolutely hate being right on this issue, but since it is upon us, we need to prepare ourselves for the worst. We need to go in to it as a unified country, united in our cause, and support our troops, having faith that they will do the job right. This war could be the world's worst nightmare, and would be a dream that neither side could wake up from, so we need to think long and hard before any military action is taken.
