WORLD AT WAR: 2.4.23 - Military Strikes That Are Causing Massive Explosions In Iran?

 Why Is the Mainstream Media Being So Quiet About the Military Strikes That Are Causing Massive Explosions In Iran?- by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/why-is-the-mainstream-media-being-so-quiet-about-the-military-strikes-that-are-causing-massive-explosions-in-iran/ Are you ready for a catastrophic war in the Middle East? When I heard that there had been multiple military strikes inside Iran on Saturday night, I went to several prominentmainstream news websites looking for confirmation. But I didn’t see any stories about these strikes on any of their front pages. That puzzled me, because social media is filled with videos of these attacks, and there are lots of stories about them in MiddleEastern news sources. So why is the mainstream media here in the United States choosing to be so quiet about what is happening inside Iran? I did find a Fox News story about the drone strike that happened in Isfahan, but that story appears to promote the Iranian view that it really wasn’t a big deal at all… A loud blast has been reported at an Iranian military facility and officials in the country say it was the result of an “unsuccessful” drone attack. “One of (the drones) was hit by the … air defense and the other two were caught in defense traps and blew up. Fortunately, this unsuccessful attack did not cause any lossof life and caused minor damage to the workshop’s roof,” the ministry said in a statement carried by the state news agency IRNA. If you just read that story, you would be tempted to believe that this attack was a complete nothingburger. Of course this is what the Iranians often do when they are attacked. They act tough and deny that any serious damage has been done. But the Jerusalem Post is reporting that the strike on Isfahan was actually “a tremendous success”… Despite Iranian claims, the drone attack on Iran at Isfahan was a tremendous success, according to a mix of Western intelligence sources and foreign sources, The JerusalemPost initially reported on Sunday morning. According to the Post, the facility that was hit is involved in “developing advanced weapons”, and “four large explosions” were recorded… There were four large explosions at the military industry factory, documented on social media, against a facility developing advanced weapons. The damage goes far beyond the “minor roof damage” that the Islamic Republic claimed earlier Sunday and has falsely claimed in past incidents. And a major British news source says that a “huge fire” erupted at the facility after it was attacked… A huge fire has erupted at an Iranian military industry factory following a suspected drone strike – as mystery surrounds who was responsible for the attack. A loud explosion struck the factory close to Iran’s central city of Isfahan overnight amid rising global tensions. Footage close to the scene shows huge flames engulfing the facility and plumes of black smoke rising from the area, while emergency vehicles and fire trucks could be seenoutside the complex. In addition, it is also being reported that a “massive fire” erupted at an oil refinery “in northwestern Iran” around the same time… A massive fire broke out at an oil refinery in northwestern Iran on Saturday, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported. The refinery is near the city of Tabriz in East Azerbaijan Province. “The firefighting is still going on and the size and intensity of the fire made it difficult to extinguish,” Fars reported. But these were apparently not the only targets that were struck on Saturday. There were reports of explosions from multiple locations, and some are claiming that Israel has decided to launch a “special military operation” against the Iranians. Unfortunately, Israeli officials don’t want to talk, the Iranians are trying to deny that much damage has been done, and the mainstream media in the U.S. is mostly ignoringthis story. But it is abundantly clear that something really huge just happened. And there are reports all over social media that are claiming that more strikes are being conducted on Sunday night. In fact, some reports are even claiming that a headquarters of the Revolutionary Guard has been targeted. It sure would be nice if we still had real journalists that were actually interested in reporting important breaking news from around the globe. But instead of real journalism, most of what we get from the mainstream media is corporate fluff that is carefully designed to promote one particular agenda or another. Often, I find myself going to foreign news sources in order to find out what is really going on. And according to a news source in the UK, we are being warned that IDF officialsbelieve that a full-blown war between Israel and Iran “will happen before summer”… And that assurance is key, said Middle East expert Catherine Perez-Shakdam, as Israel seeks to build a coalition ahead of anticipated conflict. “We know time is running out in terms of Iran’s nuclear programme,” said Ms Perez-Shakdam, of the Henry Jackson Society think tank. “Israel is preparing for war. Senior IDF officials believe it will happen before summer.” Yes, the major war in the Middle East that we have been warned about for a long time is actually coming. Meanwhile, it appears that the coming conflict between the United States and China is even closer than a lot of people would have imagined… House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that the possibility of war between China and Taiwan is “veryhigh.” Anchor Shannon Bream said, “I want to start with this reports of a top general who is making a comment about a potential war with China in 2025, get your reaction to this.NBC News is citing a memo to his officers with this quote, ‘I hope I am wrong,’ he says to them. ‘My gut tells me will fight in 2025.’ That’s being met with a lot of different reactions, some skepticism this is attributed to the opinion of one man. What doyou make of that?” McCaul said, “I hope he’s wrong as well. I think he’s right, though, unfortunately.” We live at a time of wars and rumors of wars. And thanks to the recklessness of the Biden administration, the U.S. could soon be involved in multiple major wars simultaneously. I realize that there are many of you out there that don’t want to hear this. But it is the truth. The dogs of war have been released, and the world will never be the same from this point forward.
