Yair Lapid, Israel’s foreign minister and next prime minister under the agreement on which the current coalition government is based, ramped up the threats of an Israeli military strike against Iran yesterday. “Israel has capabilities, some of which the world, and even some experts in the field, cannot even imagine. And Israel will protect itself against the Iranian threat,” he told Channel 12 news, reported the Times of Israel. He also indicated Israel could attack Iran if necessary without informing the Biden administration, which is looking to rejoin the JCPOA nuclear deal. “Israel will do whatever it needs to do to protect its security. And we don’t need anybody’s permission for that. That’s been the case since the first day we established this state,” he said.
Israel has for two decades now claimed that Iran was about to complete a nuclear weapon within several years.
More broadly, threats to Iran are part of a picture identified by Lyndon LaRouche a decade ago (as in his December 23, 2011 speech), in which the destruction of Libya would be an entrée to destabilizing Syria and then Iran, as part of a Western front of provocations against Russia and also China, whose independence and strength are overcoming the monopoly world of the Anglo-American alliance.
