Former MI6 boss says Israel not planning major strike on Iran | Middle East conflict

The former head of MI6 says Israel is more likely to carry out a cyber strike on Iran’s nuclear programme than launch a major military attack.

Sir John Sawers said his feeling was that Iran does not want a full military confrontation with Israel.

He also warned that more hardline factions of Hamas are likely to take control of the group following the killing of its leader Yahya Sinwar.

  1. In the future when an Arab country retaliates… UK +US will start crying tërrorists and yellow cake . US MUST STAY OUT OF MIDDLE EAST AFFAIRS.

  2. Israel has lost this war and now wants to convert it some how to mini world war in Middleeast using crusading anglicans and USA lest it gives them something . But this has not been easy owing to war to attrition of Gazans and Hezbollah on one hand and rising opposition to Jewish imperial projects in the younger population of west who see no relevance of entry into army to help Zionists deny democratic state to Palestinians . Another important factor hindering larger Muslim Christian clash of historic proportion as Netanyahu wants is military rise of china , Iran china alliance , War in Ukraine draining CIA , MI6 type surrogate projects , and above all danger of oil well of middle east burning hurting Europe and might crash US dollar but definitely crash European currencies as then only Russia and USA will remain as main energy sources cutting Europe to size and increasing poverty in western Europe..

    Israel has lost war from another angle , Hamas and Hezbollah are not the original contestants of last four middle eastern wars , the original contestants are Egypt , Syria and Jordan whose armies are intact and Israelis are already weary , one million they say have left the country and economy is in shambles and Hezbollah has destroyed the house of Netanyahu it is claimed .

    This war has been foreign policy disaster for India , assuming quick Israeli victory and some initial weary of war statement of USA side Arab Sheikhs about October 7 attack , Modi rushed to endear himself with Zionists , helped them in this war by sending Indians to replace Palestinian labour and by other ways . In this way destroying its ties with Gulf Arab street , exposing India's antiislam policy to African and middleastern Muslims and annoying Iran , India also helped Israel by creating disturbance in Pakistan lest Pakistan does not play part in middleast in which unfortunately Imran khan also joined so did like of Khalilzad of USA .

    Modi in the meantime did another mistake killing and plotting to kill canadian and USA sikhs via RAW , another mistake , ultimately USA selected Rahul , whose policy on kashmir ands south india expanding provincial autonomy fits public sentiments in south india and Bengal region , and such changes will follow in Pakistan too once tried in india first .

    Modi and jaishankar once cornered then ran to Russia and repair relations with china and jaishakar was planting tree in Islamabad embassy . .

    But it appears Nethanyahu massacre of Gazans and Iranian missiles have changed the course of history and Egyptian air force chief gave a veiled threat to Israel last week , soon followed by MBS visit to Egypt .MBS himself seems to be on critical evaluation by Arab street and his Royal family and so is Sissi and Erdogan .

    Harris victory might aggravate middleastern situation further , and Trump victory will be challenged by US war contractor lobby to which attacks on him might be linked too in some way , war contractors do not want unkraine war to end .

  3. There is only 20,000 square kilometres in Israel and .1,6 million square kilometres in Iran who have economic ties to Islamic States Worldwide as well as Brazil , Russia , India , China South Africa , and Saudi Arabia and Turkey will join also and military alliance with the Russia

    Without a guarantee of military intervention by either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris Israel would not attack Iran and the USA did not deploy troops after the Russian special operation in 2022 and Russians have created a Jewish and Russian Homeland where many of them emigrated from in Novo Rossiya and like the swallows can return backed by the Russians and BRICS guaranteeing them the same rights that USA, EU 28 Ukrainians denied to the Russian minorities in Ukraine and EU , with tragic consequences for the partition of Ukraine and EU from 2016

  4. Gaza is not occupied, or at least wasn’t occupied by Israel before the October 7 attack. The West Bank, is the biblical area Judea and Samaria, has been the home land of the Jews for more than 3,000 years, obviously it’s not occupied either. Jews are native to the Holy Land, not conquerors.
