Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards
Corps said on Saturday that revenge will be “severe and at an
appropriate time, place, and manner,” blaming the “terrorist Zionist
regime” for Haniyeh’s death.
The Iranian attack on Israel in response to the assassination of
Hamas political bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran last week is
expected to come as early as Monday, three US and Israeli officials told
Axios reporter Barak Ravid on Sunday.
Michael Erik Kurilla, commander of US Central Command, arrived in the Middle East early Sunday morning amid Hezbollah and Iran's threats against Israel, Walla reported on Sunday, citing two senior US officials.
The aim of the visit, which was planned before the current escalation, is to prepare a coalition to counter such threats, the report added.
Israel on high alert at Iran threatens revenge
Several
Iranian officials vowed that the country would avenge Hamas leader
Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination, as Israel remains on high alert for a
potential attack and the United States is sending additional forces to
the region.

The Lebanese-based terrorist group has reportedly decided to increase
its targets in attacks in response to the assassination of its
commander, Fuad Shukr.
“Until
now, Hezbollah and the [Zionist] regime have, in an unwritten
understanding, practically adhered to certain limits in their military
operations, meaning that confining their actions to border areas and
shallow zones, targeting primarily military objectives,” a spokesperson
from the delegation told CBS News.
“However,
the regime’s attack on Dahieh in Beirut and the targeting of a
residential building marked a deviation from these boundaries,” the
spokesperson said. “We anticipate that, in its response, Hezbollah will
choose both broader and deeper targets, and will not restrict itself
solely to military targets and means.”
An
Israeli official told CBS News that while Iran’s April 13 attack was
thwarted, Israel was anticipating a “more aggressive” retaliation this
time around – a retaliation which could extend to Israeli interests
abroad.
The US
military will deploy additional fighter jets and Navy warships to the
Middle East, the Pentagon said on Friday, as Washington seeks to bolster
defenses following threats from Iran and its allies Hamas and
Hezbollah.
The
US is bracing for Iran to make good on its vow to respond to the
killing of Haniyeh two days ago in the Iranian capital Tehran.
US
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had approved sending additional Navy
cruisers and destroyers – which can shoot down ballistic missiles – to
the Middle East and Europe.
It is also sending an additional squadron of fighter jets to the Middle East.
“Austin
has ordered adjustments to US military posture designed to improve US
force protection, to increase support for the defense of Israel, and to
ensure the United States is prepared to respond to various
contingencies,” the Pentagon said in a statement.
There
had been speculation that the Pentagon might not replace the USS
Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group in the Middle East once it
completed its ongoing deployment. But Austin decided to rotate in the
USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group to replace it.
The Pentagon statement added it would increase readiness to deploy more land-based ballistic missile defenses.
The
US military also intensified deployments prior to April 13, when Iran
launched an attack on Israeli territory with drones and missiles. Still,
the threat from Hezbollah in Lebanon could present unique challenges to
any efforts by Washington to intercept drones and missiles, given the
group’s vast arsenal and immediate proximity to the Jewish state.
At
the time, Israel successfully shot down almost all of the roughly 300
drones and missiles with the help of the United States and other allies.
Earlier, Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said the US did not believe escalation was inevitable.
“I
think we are being very direct in our messaging that certainly we don’t
want to see heightened tensions, and we do believe there is an off ramp
here – and that is that ceasefire deal,” Singh said.
An
Israeli delegation will travel to Cairo in the coming days for
negotiations to reach a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said on Friday.[SOURCE]

registration in just one county in Michigan before the 2020 election. GBI Strategies

Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Washington
DC – and likely several other locations.

In 2020 GBI Strategies director Gary Bell announced that he had groups operating in 20 states around the country including all of the battleground states.

different Democrat-funded voter registration group that is accused of

Just your average Zen Baptist, admitting upfront to being a (mostly) reconstructed hillbilly.
If you can't understand the attitude or perspective I come from, it's safe to say that we're from different realities.
If you can't start off the conversation with a respectful question about how/why I came to the particular perspective I did, and then find some way that you can relate to it, then I don't have any time to entertain your issues.
Give respect, get respect.
