Over the weekend on Saturday we suddenly watched as Iran launched a massive strike of Drones and Missiles on Israel.

Iran has attacked Israel before via its proxies like Hezbollah, but Iran as a country has never directly attacked Israel until now.

So say this is historic (in a bad way) and a game-changer would be an understatement.

And while I would love to see peace prevail on ALL sides, it would be extremely naive to think that will happen right now.

I fully expect Israel to strike back next and I expect it to be very bloody.

But that’s not just my opinion, that is what is widely being reported right now, with claims that the Israeli Cabinet has met and is in unanimous agreement that they will strike back in retaliation:

More here from Axios:

Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant told Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Sunday that Israel has no choice but to respond to the unprecedented missile and drone attack launched by Iran over the weekend, a U.S. official and another source briefed on the call told Axios.

Why it matters: The Biden administration and several other Western countries allied with Israel are urging Benjamin Netanyahu’s government not to rush into a retaliation against Iran that could lead to a regional war.

The latest: Gen. Herzi Halevi, chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, said Monday that “Israel is considering next steps” and that “the launch of so many missiles and drones to Israeli territory will be answered with a retaliation.”

• Ahead of a meeting Monday with Iraq’s deputy prime minister, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. is coordinating a diplomatic response to the Iranian attack intended to prevent further escalation.
• “Strength and wisdom must be the two sides of the same coin,” Blinken said in what appeared to be a message for Israel.

President Biden said during a meeting with Iraq’s prime minister: “We’re committed to a ceasefire that will bring the hostages home and prevent the conflict from spreading beyond what it already has. The United States is committed to Israel’s security.”

• “[Biden] is certainly not looking for a war with Iran and I am confident that Prime Minister Netanyahu is aware of the president’s concerns,” White House spokesman John Kirby told reporters.

The other side: Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told U.K. Foreign Secretary David Cameron in a phone call Monday that Iran does not want escalation — but that if Israel “seeks adventure, our next response will be immediate, stronger and more extensive,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

This Tweet is especially spot on, I do truly believe the next 48 hours could be the most important in our lifetimes:
