100 more U.S. troops to Israel.

Zero Hedge: 100 US Troops Will Deploy In Israel To Man Anti-Air Batteries.

On Saturday we were among the first outlets to report that the United States is preparing to deploy THAAD anti-ballistic missile systems in Israel, a major development which will put American troops directly in harm's way (or... boots on the ground) amid the tense showdown with Iran.

The Pentagon in follow-up statements to the NY Times has confirmed the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) systems will be sent to Israel, and that about 100 American troops will operate them.

One regional observers has observed that this is Netanyahu's longtime dream come true:

    Journalist Séamus Malekafzali argued the U.S. deployment of troops and the THAAD system shows that "the Israelis are clearly planning something for Iran that is going to cause a retaliation they know their own systems are unable to take."

    "U.S. troops being deployed to Israel in this matter is seismic," Malekafzali added. "The U.S. military is now inextricably involved in this war, directly, without any illusions of barriers. Netanyahu is as close as he has ever been to his ultimate wish: making the U.S. fight Iran on Israel's behalf."

RT: US troops will deploy to Israel.


The Unz Review: If Tehran Is Turned Into a Parking Lot, Israel Will be Soon to Follow.

Israel must initiate a provocation big enough to ensure the outcome that it seeks. In short, Israel’s real target is the US because it is the US that must be hoodwinked into fighting Israel’s war. Regrettably, duping America is what Israel does best.

The Unz Review: If Israel Attacks Iran, Russia Is Not Going to Stay on the Sideline.

[...] Russia is following developments very closely and has moved military assets to within range of the prospective battlespace. It is logical to assume that Russia will engage Iran’s enemies if that is what the situation requires.

The Cradle: Washington keeps silent after Israel arrests US journalist over report on Iran attack.

[Jeremy Loffredo reported], “What I saw today, here in Israel, is clear evidence that Iran was targeting the same Israeli intelligence and military infrastructure that has been used over the past year to carry out brutal assassinations and attacks.”

"Aiding the Enemy" ? Reporting the truth is more like it. He's reporting that Iran is only targeting Israeli strongholds used to genocide Palestinian civilians. 

Where's the free-speech, dual citizenship-holding groups who are always kvetching over journalist arrests? Unsurprisingly, silent and we know why.
