Iran's defense chief threatens US with strike if Washington does not stop conflict in Gaza

[Regnum] On November 5, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani threatened the United States with a heavy blow if Washington does not stop fighting in the Gaza Strip and establish a ceasefire.

“Our advice to the Americans is to immediately end the war between Israel and Palestine, and also ensure a ceasefire, otherwise you will receive a heavy blow,” Al Arabiya TV channel quoted the general as saying.

One assumes by this they mean some sort of jihadi attack rather than one of the nuke-tipped missiles they have not yet completed. It would be interesting, no doubt — as would be the aftermath. It would also be interesting to see how many Iranian and Hezbollah sleepers would choose not to interrupt their comfortable existence by following orders...

Ashtiani has repeatedly accused the United States of interfering in the conflict between Palestine and Israel and called Washington’s support for Tel Aviv a strategic mistake. The Iranian government supports the Palestinian Hamas movement and threatens Israel with serious consequences in the event of a ground operation in the Gaza Strip.

As Regnum reported , Israeli Minister of Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage Amichai Eliyahu on November 5 called the use of nuclear weapons in the Gaza Strip “one of the possibilities” for the development of the conflict. He disagreed with allowing humanitarian aid into the Palestinian enclave and said that Tel Aviv would not hand over aid to the “Nazis” and that there were supposedly no uninvolved civilians in the Gaza Strip.

Eliyahu is a member of the far-right Itamara Ben-Gvir party and is not a member of the security cabinet.

*shrug* Which means Minister Eliyahu is not in charge of Israel’s nuclear weapons. And in fact he backed away from that statement when his other choice was for PM Netanyahu to fire him, which presumably occurred after this article went to press.

#2 Another example of the dangerous erosion of Western deterrence.

No rational actor needs to fear and respect the West.

BTW I don't think he would have dared threaten the US if Trump was president.
