Iran has threatened Israel with retaliation if the Israeli Defense Forces continue missile strikes on Assad regime targets inside Syria.
Ali Shamkhani, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, used a meeting with Russian counterpart Nikolai Patrushev in Tehran to say on Thursday:
The Zionist regime has been trying to establish a crisis in Syria and has taken steps to directly support terrorist groups and target the Syrian army and forces who are confronting terrorism.
And if it continues, it will face reactions that will cause regret.
Israel has periodically struck regime and Iranian targets throughout Syria’s 90-month conflict. Initially the attacks were to prevent Iranian transfers of missiles and weapons to Lebanon’s Hezbollah, another ally of the Assad regime, and to deter Hezbollah and Iran from establishing positions in southwest Syria near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
In the past year, the strikes have expanded across Syria on regime and Iranian positions, including in April with the largest Israeli raids in more than 30 years. The operations have backed the demand of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the withdrawal of Iranian and Iranian-led foreign personnel from the country.
Shamkhani proclaimed Russia-Iran security cooperation in the “fight against terrorism” and dialogue between the two countries on important regional and international issues. He said the relationship had been decisive in keeping regional security crises under control.
He did not refer to this month’s Russia-Turkey agreement on a demilitarized zone in northwest Syria, which suspended a Russian-regime offensive on Idlib and northern Hama Provinces.
Tehran had supported the Assad regime’s declaration that it will regain “every inch” of Syria.
Israel: We Are Ready to Reopen Golan Heights Crossing
Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Thursday that Israeli is ready to reopen a crossing point into the Syrian side of the Golan Heights once Assad regime control is fully established.
Lieberman said, on a visit to the Israeli side of the Quneitra crossing: “The fact that we have come here, to Alpha Gate, and as far as we are concerned UNDOF [UN Disengagement Observer Forces] have begun to operate and patrol with the Israeli military’s assistance, says that we are ready for the crossing to reopen.”
But he added that the reopening is dependent on Assad regime moves, “At the moment, the ball is in the Syrian court.”
Russian military police have been patrolling on the Syrian side of Quneitra since a pro-Assad offensive, enabled by Russian airstrikes, reoccupied southwest Syria this summer.
The F35 is emblematic of the decline of the US empire. Insanely overpriced hardware that doesn’t work.
Bla bla bla bla…..you finished your prozac Andre?
Meanwhile the Russian empire is an absolute joke. They have to invade their neighbors to keep them away from the west and then tell insane lies about it that only kremlinbots believe. LOLOL. How pathetic.
Just look at the level of them bots/trolls in here. Once demolished they have to come up with identity number 287654 to give us their usual daily bs. Priceless.
I agree, the very concept of a Russian empire is a joke. The Russians don’t even pretend to be one.
Please remind me which neighbor Russia in faded and when that invasion took place.
Yawwwwwwwnnnnnn
The F-35, the U.S. military’s most expensive fighter jet, crashed for the first time on Friday, just hours after a U.S.-flown F-35 carried out its first ever combat strike in Afghanistan.
If the US believes if has the capability to take out S300s, it probably won’t be using this lemon.
Bet this news made your day Andre……you must be all excited….
Just thought it was newsworthy in light of your predictions that the US could easily deal with the S300s. Not only has the F35, the most expensive fighter plane in history, been a monumental failure, but the US have only been willing to use it in Afghanistan where it would never have to face air defenses, let alone an enemy air force
I always told you. You are not the person to speak about military hardware. The s300 is a piece of crap. Well proven in the past. Migs fall from the sky every day. So what your point? None. Just another go at the US to fulfill your frustrations. Way to go…..as usual.
“You are not the person to speak about military hardware. The s300 is a piece of crap.”
The US and Israel disagree. Neither have ever challenged it in the field of battle.
“Migs fall from the sky every day. So what your point?”
Migs have been in service for decades and no, they do not fall from the sky every day. The F35 fell from the sky in the first week of seeing action. I know it’s a huge source of embarrassment and humiliation to see your all powerful US military hardware fail so miserably.
The usual bla bla bla
Nice to see you try to change your name to a more slavic sounding name, in case anybody was still wondering what master you serve, Andre. LOLOL. Your Russkie overlords would literally kill to get F-35 technology considering their own sorry ass attempts at gen 5 aircraft have failed miserably. The Russians are so far behind it’s a joke. They are insanely jealous at their inability to keep up due to their broke ass mafia state.
@kevin…..at least Ramzjoo chose an easier new name ordoo. Andre went for slavic…..pitty for him the contents of his rants give him away in 3 seconds (and just not only that….). What a fantastic tool he is ahahah epic fail number 150 in here.
Too funny. The F35 is the most expensive lemon in history. The US can’t even give it away. It only saw active service this week and it failed miserably.
The US still relied entirely on it’s F16/F15/F18s. The F22 is discontinued and the F35 is a total joke and embarrassment. In fact,the best description I heard of the F35 is that it is a Bradley with with wings.
we dont give 1 fck
Don’t be like that Caligola. Any criticism of US military power and hardware is akin to comeone criticising your own children. We can all see this is deeply personal for you.
Andre you BORE me to death. Thats the only point. You can change your alias, you can hide on the net (with bad results in your case) but your content is the same. A pile of rubbish driven by your frustration and hate of the US. You got more to bore us today or you are done?
I am not here to entertain you Caligola, but you don’t sound bored, you sound very frustrated and bitter.
I already pointed out that I love the US.. I despise US foreign policy and imperialism, but regardless, that is irrelevant. You keep obsessing about it rather than arguing the actual issues.
Yawwwwwwnnnnnn
lol. I am sure Bibi is shitting himself after these iranian threats 🙂 Iran better pay attention to its internal problems. Tic toc tic toc……..
Exactly, given that the iranians couldn’t even do shit without Russia’s help, I’m sure the Israeli’s are not too worried.
Good comments from Mattis

“Exactly, given that the iranians couldn’t even do shit without Russia’s help, I’m sure the Israeli’s are not too worried.”
That’s funny considering Israel wouldn’t even have an Air Force were is not for the US. Nor would they have nukes were it not for France
Just in Andre’s head israel can be worried of Iran. Lol
Also in Netanyahu’s head are Iran a threat not only to Israel, but the world. Evidently, he regards Iran as a super power.

“lol. I am sure Bibi is shitting himself after these iranian threats”
According to his own words, he must be. Haven’t Israel Insisted they will not accept that by presence of Iran in Syria because Iran represents a threat to Israel?
No Andre. Bibi doesnt give 2 cents about iranian threats. Never has since he bombs them regularly and your iranian pals as your 2 cent hezb militia never responded. Never. So shhhhhhhhh.
Bibbi disagrees with your interpretation. He has stated that not only is Iran the greatest threat to Israel, but the world.

“Never has since he bombs them regularly and your iranian pals as your 2 cent hezb militia never responded”
Iran are not my pals, but your Israeli pals have been humiliated twice by Hezbollah. Seems you never got over it.
Not interested. Andre. Take a hike.
It’s no surprise you are not interested in reality Caligola, but I am not just posting comments for your benefit
And the name is Dragan, please use it.
Yes Andre sure. Will do. Ahahah what a tool you are.
You always throw a tantrum in response to links that debunk your claims Caligola. Reality is clearly not your forte.
Just when confronted by fake 2 cents users which have to hide under new names after their rep in here got trashed the last 7 years. Continue this charade of yours Andre….you are free to mock yourself up limitless.
