Too Many Signs Point to an Israel-Iran War

Note from the Editor

by Paul Barker, Bidokht, Shiraz, Tehran 1971-76

As of this writing, Israel has not yet launched a military attack on Iran in retaliation for its 1 October missile attacks on Israeli military and security sites, which were in retaliation for various Israeli attacks which were in response to provocations associated with Iran which . . .

So that was the good news. The bad news is that a significant Israeli attack, possibly with direct US military participation, on Iranian military (and possibly nuclear and/or energy) sites is still deemed highly likely. It is almost certain that Iran would then feel compelled to answer any such attack, perhaps also targeting facilities in any Arab state that facilitated such Israeli and/or US action. All of this may start to unfold before the US November 5 elections with destabilizing implications for global energy prices, commerce and security. Is Iran Next? Is a question with serious implications.
