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 describes Iran’s 350-missile attack as a ‘declaration of war’ and vows to retaliate with ‘offensive action’
At a press conference on Sunday evening, IDF Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said Iran’s plan had ‘failed’ – as he praised the response from the ‘regional alliance’ which helped down ’99 per cent’ of the missiles fired. Hagari accused Iran – and Hamas – of trying to ‘ignite the Middle East and escalate the region’ by firing suicide drones, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and rockets at Israel – but insisted his army was on ‘high alert’. ‘Over the last two hours, we approved operational plans for both offensive and defensive action,’ he said. ‘We will continue to protect the State of Israel, and together with our partners, we will continue to build a more secure and stable future for the entire Middle East.’ The IDF spokesman did not elaborate on what plans have been approved, but it comes after a meeting of Israel’s war cabinet. Leaders of the G7 – including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak – also held talks on Sunday in which they ‘unequivocally’ condemned Iran’s attack on Israel and warned that the risk of an ‘uncontrollable regional escalation’ must be avoided.

Biden warns Netanyahu US will NOT back Israeli counterattack on Iran amid fears of all-out war: President tells PM ‘you got a win, take the win’ after downing ‘nearly all’ enemy drones and missiles
Joe Biden (top left in the White House Situation Room) spoke with Benjamin Netanyahu (bottom left with his cabinet and right) in a late-night phone call after Iran bombarded Israel with hundreds of missiles and drones (middle) on Saturday in response to a drone strike in Syria that killed 12 Iranians, including two top generals. A senior White House official said Biden made it clear to Netanyahu that US forces would not participate in any further operations. Biden reportedly told the Israeli Prime Minister: ‘You got a win. Take the win’, amid fears amongst White House officials that an Iran attack will lead to a greater war in the region. US forces managed to intercept more 70 drones and at least three ballistic missiles during the attack, but don’t have an appetite to take Iran head on.
President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US will not support any counterattack against Iran, sources have revealed.
