EXCLUSIVE: US makes failed bid for Iran to allow 'symbolic strike' by Israel
Washington used diplomatic backchannels to ask Tehran not to retaliate to an Israeli strike, which would allow Tel Aviv to 'save face' following the massive retaliatory attack launched by Iran

An Iranian military security official has revealed exclusively to The Cradle that the US contacted the Islamic Republic, asking the nation to allow Israel "a symbolic strike to save face” following Iran's retaliatory drone and missile barrage this weekend.

“Iran has received messages from mediators to let the regime do a symbolic strike to save face and asked Iran not to retaliate,” the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed to The Cradle.

He added that Tehran “outright rejected” the proposal, delivered by mediators, and reiterated warnings that any Israeli attack on Iranian soil would be met with a decisive and immediate response.

The reply was delivered directly to the Swiss envoy in Tehran by officials from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and not the foreign ministry. According to The Cradle's source, the decision for the IRGC to reply directly was meant “to send a strong warning to the US.”

“Iran successfully embarrassed all of the integrated radar network and anti-missile systems of the US and the [Israeli] regime. The US even activated its parked satellites over the region to do maximum protection and failed miserably,” the Iranian military official added.

The revelations come as US defense officials have told Western media that they expect a “limited response” from Israel against Iran, which will reportedly focus on targets outside of Iranian territory.

Nevertheless, US officials stressed that Tel Aviv had not briefed the Pentagon on a “final decision” as discussions within Israel's fractured war cabinet continued.

“The US does not intend to take part in the military response,” they confirmed. However, they expect Israel to inform Washington about response plans in advance.

Israel has publicly vowed to respond to the Iranian operation this weekend, which saw the launch of hundreds of drones, ballistic and cruise missiles by the Islamic Republic in retaliation to the Israeli bombing of Iran's consulate in Damascus.

“This launch of so many missiles, cruise missiles and drones into Israeli territory will be met with a response,” Israeli army chief of staff, Lt Gen Herzi Halevi, said on Sunday, speaking from the Nevatim Air Force base in southern Israel, which was one of three military targets successfully hit by the Iranian barrage.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani told state TV on Monday night that Tehran's response to any Israeli retaliation would come in “a matter of seconds, as Iran will not wait for another 12 days to respond.”

Iran is Hamas and Hamas is Iran. Israel is giving it to Hamas wotowoto and will definitely not be afraid of Iran their main sponsor.

However, a strike in Iran may likely result in world war, Christians versus Muslims. Islamic Republic of this, Islamic this, Islamic that. How many countries have Christian Republic in their official name? Or their are no Christian nations again?

About four countries have "Islamic Republic" in their official name:

1. Islamic Republic of Afghanistan
2. Islamic Republic of Iran
3. Islamic Republic of Mauritania
4. Islamic Republic of Pakistan

Israel is coping & belittling Iran’s attack but a senior US official admitted that at least 9 Iranian missiles penetrated Israeli air defenses & hit 2 Israeli air bases, adding that 5 ballistic missiles hit the Nevatim Air Base, causing damage to a C-130 transport plane, a runway, & storage facilities. He also said that 4 additional ballistic missiles hit the Nevatim Air Base.

Meanwhile the US is saying they won’t respond. But I don’t buy that they won’t respond at all, they’re just holding off for now because of the election, as the Biden administration is hugely unpopular. The US needs Israel in the region so there’s no way they’re going to step aside, but they’ll find the right moment or false flag to attack Iran. Both the republican and democrat parties have been eager to do this for decades.

The problem is that with all US funding, military capabilities and surveillance tech, Israel could not deter Iran. And from the weapons Iran has used, we know they didn’t even use their most advanced or exhaust their resources. In other words this is only the beginning of what’s possible. And Israel simply cannot keep up with Iran’s military power. Even with the US’s aid and with that aid, of course comes the possibility of a greater global conflict.

They can deny all they want, the world knows Israel has been humbled.

Iran has dared them to respond to the missiles barrage .....

This is the third day 😂.
They're still begging all over the place.

I can see you are misinformed about the Isreal. I don't need to debate with someone that called Isreal a Christian nation. How many Christian are in Isreal?

Woman, please go and educate yourself by coming to a public forum and disgracing yourself by calling Israel a Christian country.
