Iran is threatening to get directly involved in the conflict, and that should deeply alarm all of us.  For a long time, I have been specifically warning my readers that an apocalyptic conflict between Israel and Iran would be coming.  Sadly, now we are literally on the verge of seeing that happen.  Both nations possess weapons of immense destructive power, and there is going to be so much death and destruction in the days ahead.

On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to signal that a massive military offensive in Gaza is imminent…

Benjamin Netanyahu has today vowed to 'demolish' Hamas with Israeli troops on the Gaza border poised to attack at any moment.

Israel's armed forces is 'ready' to defeat the 'bloodthirsty monsters', the Israeli Prime Minister said, with a land, sea, and air offensive imminent.

Israeli tanks and troops have gathered on the border and are carrying out simulations ready to spring an invasion of Gaza at any time after Hamas terrorists killed 1,300 Israelis in a surprise attack last Saturday.

But if Israel goes in, Hezbollah has already indicated that they will almost certainly enter the conflict.
