The Gaza Strip is reduced to a pile of rubble, Rafiah is about to fall, arms smuggling, also Iranian, crosses Jordan and arms Hamas in the West Bank and, while waiting for the first rockets to hit Israel from the Palestinian territories under PNA control, the northern front is opening up. Lebanon, but also Syria.
Behind all this, it goes without saying, there is always the Iran of the Ayatollahs who, as per recent journalistic revelations, in recent days has repeatedly used the airport of the Lebanese capital to airlift armaments intended for Hetzbollah.
Precisely to deny these journalistic revelations, in recent days the Lebanese government has organized a tour for journalists and foreign ambassadors inside the airport structure of Beirut in an attempt to demonstrate that there was no truth to the claims that Hezbollah had stockpiled Iranian weapons in the customs hangars. However, the Saudi network Al-Hadath reported that airport security prevented journalists from reaching the airport’s cargo center for security reasons. After the journalists insisted, some of them still managed to enter and film cartoons with writing in Farsithe tour was abruptly interrupted.
It is no coincidence that several nations have asked, almost implored, their citizens to leave Lebanon and, addressing his followers, the German ambassador in Beirut made it clear that the capital’s airport could no longer be operational from the first hours of the war.
Considering the rumors circulating about the imminent start of an Israeli operation in Lebanon, this event, in the opinion of the writer very important, did not receive the right attention from the press. Almost nothing was reported in the Israeli media, while in the international media we heard a deafening silence.
It might seem like a finished story, but this is not the case because the inhabitants of Malta have reported a missile crashed in the Mediterranean near the island. For the Maltese authorities it was not a surprise and this is understandable because in the same hours as the test traffic restrictions had been introduced in the area of the island and a large area of the Mediterranean.
Given the distance from Israel and the flight of Israeli Gulfstream G-550 Shavits, equipped with Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) and electronic warfare systems, always present during missile tests, and also considering the lack of media coverageit is easy to deduce that the Ministry of Defense has verified the strategic capabilities of something very serious and, probably, new.
It must also be considered that the distance of 1800 km is enough to reach Tehran from every point of Israel.
All this with an escalation taking place at the borders between Israel And Lebanon with statements from the Iranian side on a possible entry into war against Israel and on their support for Hezbollah with the support of the Taliban who have explicitly asked to be transported to Syria to fight against Israel.
Let’s not forget, the Taliban have at their disposal all the armaments abandoned by US troops during their daring withdrawal from Afghanistan.
To some observers the launch of this missile seemed symbolic, but that is only part of the truth, you do not launch millions of dollars in grants just to remind a potential enemy what he already knows. More pragmatically it is clear that the launch was a real operational test in anticipation of serious responses in the event of a direct or indirect attack by the Iranian army or, worse, by the Pasdaran.
Only in the next few weeks will we be able to have clearer ideas on the situation, for the moment all we can do is wait and hope for the best.
