(OPINION) Are other nations going to get involved in the war between Iran and Israel? Will we soon see the U.S. military get directly involved in attacking Iran? Those are very important questions that all of us should be considering right now.

As I discussed on Friday, we really have reached one of the most critical points in our period of human history. If additional countries are drawn into the conflict, we really could be facing a World War III scenario.

And if someone actually decides to use a weapon of mass destruction, things will get really crazy.

Fortunately, only conventional weapons have been used so far. It appears that the IDF has achieved air superiority in Iranian airspace, and more than 170 targets have been hit in just three days…

Israel says roughly 50 of its fighter jets carried out dozens of strikes inside Iran overnight targeting the country’s nuclear development capabilities and its military and energy infrastructure.

The IDF says it has struck over 170 targets and more than 720 “military infrastructure components” in just three days of fighting as part of its “Operation Rising Lion.”

“Throughout the night, Israeli Air Force fighter jets flew over Tehran and struck infrastructure and targets of the Iranian nuclear project, under the guidance of the Intelligence Directorate,” the IDF said.

The Iranians are reeling, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is promising the Iranians that “what they have felt so far is nothing compared with what they will be handed in the coming days”…

Netanyahu said Israel’s strikes had set back Iran’s nuclear programme possibly by years and rejected international calls for restraint.

“We will hit every site and every target of the Ayatollahs’ regime, and what they have felt so far is nothing compared with what they will be handed in the coming days,” he said in a video message.

Of course the Iranians have been hitting Israel pretty hard too…

Children are among the at least 13 people who have died in Israel following Iran’s barrage of missiles it sent in the latest round of escalating strikes between the two nations.

Iran said Israel struck two oil refineries near Tehran overnight, as well as the headquarters of Iran’s Ministry of Defence, while Israel said that the death toll had risen to 10, as emergency workers frantically sift through rubble to try and find injured people.

An estimated 200 people in Israel were injured by the strikes. Israeli Raja Khateeb, his wife, and their three daughters were all reportedly among those killed in the Iranian strike on the town of town of Tamra, near Haifa. CONTINUE
