The latest reports coming out of the Middle East indicate that Israel and Hezbollah have each drafted “battle plans” of their own and are currently trying to obtain more weapons in preparation for a significant war. Another potential escalation could be the pact between Russia and North Korea, both enemies of the West.

The news coming from the Middle East came straight from two senior American officials who were briefed on intelligence about the moves, which contradicted public statements by both sides that they were not interested in going to war. According to a report by Politico, officials believe that the risk of a major escalation is higher than it has been in a long time.

Israel continues to pursue its goal of the elimination of Hamas, while Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon could throw even more fuel on the fire. Iran has been warning that should the IDF enter southern Lebanon, the Jewish state should expect an “obliterating war.”

U.S. State Department Says Israel “Unlikely” To Eradicate Hamas

According to a report by Natural News, this isn’t one-sided rhetoric either.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is convinced that “terror proxies” in Iran will conquer all of the Middle East if left unchecked. “We also have to deter the other elements of the Iran terror axis. But we have to deal with the axis. The axis doesn’t threaten only us. It threatens you. It’s on the march to conquer the Middle East. That means, actually, conquer. Conquer Saudi Arabia, and conquer the Arabian Peninsula. It’s just a question of time,” he warned.

We Are Just One Step Away From An Apocalyptic War In The Middle East

The ruling class has been pushing the globe toward a major third-world war for years now, but as things increasingly become more tense, that possibility inches closer to reality. This world has been one misstep away from war for a while now. We still maintain that the only thing keeping it relatively calm is Russia’s hesitance to retaliate for the West’s aggressive “red line crossings.” Once Moscow has had enough, and makes that very clear with actions and not rhetoric, this will pop off.

Former CIA Moscow station chief Daniel N. Hoffman warned: “All of that makes today arguably more dangerous, more risky for U.S. national security than ever before. Not just in the Korean Peninsula but throughout the world. I think we face more wickedly complex threats to our national security right now, today than ever before.”
