Extremely severe and extraordinarily dangerous developments are taking place today in both the Israel-Iran situation AND the Ukraine - Russia situation.
With Israel having attacked Iran over this past weekend, many believed the issue __could__ be settled; especially if Iran took-it-on-the-chin and did not respond.
That belief went right out the window this morning when Yoav Gallant, Israeli Defense Minister, reminded everyone "Israel is highly likely to strike new targets in Iran in the coming days."
The Defense Minister and the war cabinet have emphasized over the past month that the operation against Iran cannot be considered over in a single night.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said this morning that Tehran will "use all available tools" to respond to Israel's weekend attack on military targets in Iran.
The Speaker of Iran's Parliament said today "Iran's response to Israel's attack is inevitable."
UKRAINE - RUSSIA
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov declared this morning: ”If Ukraine joins NATO "either Ukraine disappears, or NATO does.”
