RICHARD MEDHURST—British journalist Richard Medhurst reports on the Iranian response to Israel’s bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus on April 1. This violation of the Vienna Convention (1961 and 1963) went unanswered until today on April 14 The world has watched anxiously in anticipation of Iran’s response. Now Iran fires a volley of drones and missiles at Israel, accompanied by an orchestra of similar calibres out of Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iraq. Whether the alliance was holding more serious weapons for later is not known at this point.

EDITOR—Israel and America Are at War with Iran, Russia and China and Israel’s bombing of Iran’s embassy just confirmed that, says the author. Indeed, this reckless act—Israel’s bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus—may prove to be the last straw in a strategy of provocations by the US empire against its designated enemies. If so, in all but name, we may be living the first moments of the Third World War, a war likely to engulf every single continent, and a conflagration capable of destroying the world as we know it.

RICHARD MEDHURST—Hezbollah is gradually expanding its operations. Its missiles and rockets are beginning to zero in on more targets of importance in Israel, and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, which remains a piece of Syrian territory. The probable upcoming presidency of uber Zionist Donald Trump will NOT fix the situation with the Israelis and may very well aggravate it. Trump and his in-laws, the Kushners, a notorious Zionist-American clan, will likely put US soldiers on the ground to further assist Israel in its battles with the anti-Zionist/imperialist alliance and Hamas itself. How that will play with Trump’s “antiwar” image in many quarters is still anybody’s guess.
