Internal strife: Iran's delayed retaliation to Israel sparks rift within terror proxies - report

[Beastly Boy]

Iran has angered its allies, particularly Hezbollah and Hamas, by once again urging caution in responding to Israel after the assassinations of high-ranking Hezbollah terrorist Fuad Shukr and Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, the Kuwaiti newspaper al Jarida reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, while Iran has recently signaled a willingness to delay its response to Haniyeh's assassination, a source within the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Quds Force revealed to the Kuwaiti news outlet that a heated meeting took place on Sunday in Tehran between representatives of Iran's regional allies and the Revolutionary Guard leadership.

This meeting exposed a significant rift, the report noted, which escalated into a verbal clash and ended with some allies storming out in anger. The source told al Jarida that representatives from Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, various Iraqi factions, and the Houthis attended the meeting to coordinate a response to Israel. According to the source, Revolutionary Guard representatives urged the allies to hold off on retaliation, at least until after the conclusion of hostage negotiations in Gaza, set to end on Thursday.

However, Iran's allies felt that the timing was ideal to launch an all-out assault on Israel, even if it meant confronting those who defend it, including American forces in the region. The source noted that the Iranian delegation made it clear that pursuing such an aggressive strategy would ultimately play into Israel's hands.

1. These People Want Open War No More Than They Do Settled Peace, Sir

3. There appears to be a rift in the proxy coalition between homicidal maniacs and suicidal maniacs.

A tough choice for their supporters to contemplate, I must admit.

4. 'A Murderer Is Just An Extroverted Suicide'

If the entire movement were to present, as one, to a therapist, the diagnosis would be suicidal ideation complemented by megalomania and sadism.

2. Maybe that nuclear missile boat submarine

with the SEAL Team Ops chamber on deck being deployed to waters within cruise missile or ballistic missile strike range of Iran, had something to do with their decision making.

5. No-win

Israel is really in a no-win situation. Their collective enemies really want nothing to do with negotiations or peace. They have out right stated they want to wipe Israel off the map and kill all Jews.

But how dare Israel defend or, God forbid, strike back at their attackers. "GeNoCiDe." Hamas loves dead Palestinian children, women, elderly. It's a good look for them casting Israel as the bad guy. All casualties are reported as civilians, got to jack those numbers up. And the support and money keeps flowing in enriching the Hamas multi-Millionaire/Billionaire leadership. Got to give credit where credit is due. Hamas Leadership knows how to manipulate the weak, Some Scientology level stuff there.

as long as Israel lets that maniac stay in power there should be a lot of second guessing about US armed support.
