Former Marine Corps Intelligence Officer and UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter reacts to Israel’s latest escalation with Iran that left several of its top military brass slain in Syria. What happens next will shock you. Scott stresses the fact that Iran cannot easily replace the key military leaders they just lost, and that a tit-for-tat retaliation may unleash an escalation cycle with Israel for which Iran may not be ready. Ritter advises calm and deliberate continuation of the strengthening of the “Axis of Resistance”. Otherwise, much could be lost, including the loss of world focus on the Gaza tragedy, which is looking like it could finally deliver a change of policy in the region and a Palestinian state or integration in a non-Apartheid Israel. Scott notes that Israel is set to receive a large number of F-15s, long-distance fighter-bombers, needed for an strategic blow against Iran. This indicates the direction Washington and Tel Avid are thinking.
