Are arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant likely?
On 26th April, I questioned Perplexity.ai about this rumour which had been circulating for 2 days. This is the answer I got:
Answer
Based on the reports from Israeli media outlets, it appears that arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi from the International Criminal Court (ICC) are a distinct possibility in the near future. The key points are:
- Israel's National Security Council held secret discussions about the potential for the ICC to issue international arrest warrants against Netanyahu, Gallant, and Halevi in the coming days, likely related to Israel's military actions in Gaza.[1][2][4][5]
- Israeli officials predict the potential warrants would target high-ranking political and military leaders, not low-ranking officers.[2][4][5]
- Israel has already begun taking "immediate measures" to try to prevent the warrants, including diplomatic pressure campaigns, involving the U.S. administration, and Netanyahu holding calls with counterparts in several countries.[1][2][4][5]
- Israeli officials view potential ICC warrants against their leadership as similar to measures taken against Russia over the Ukraine war.[2][5]
- The Israeli Security Cabinet is set to discuss additional steps to block possible ICC arrest warrants.[2][5]
So while not guaranteed, the prospect of ICC arrest warrants against Netanyahu, Gallant and other top Israeli officials over alleged war crimes in Gaza appears to be a serious concern for Israel based on these media reports.[1][2][4][5]

A few days later even Russia Today ran a story on this topic:
28 Apr, 2024 08:34
Netanyahu reacts to possible ICC arrest warrant against him
Israel will never accept attempts to undermine its right to self-defense, the prime minister has said
[...]
“The threat to seize the soldiers and officials of the Middle East’s only democracy and the world’s only Jewish state is outrageous. We will not bow to it,” he said.
[...]

My conclusion: there cannot be smoke without a fire!
What on earth caused such damage to this Abrams tank?
According to SouthFront, ‘A recent report by The Associated Press revealed that Kiev forces withdrew all Abrams tanks from the front recently as the result of the excessive use of drones by the Russian military, which made it too difficult for the tanks to operate without detection or coming under attack.’ Well, I am not sure that a drone would have managed to cause such damage to the inside of this US Abrams tank with the warhead it carries unless the hatch had been left open and the drone managed to explode inside of the tank through this opening. Could it simply be that some kind of laser-like beam hit the inside of the tank and caused some of the shells to explode?

Querying Perplexity.ai and Bing Copilot about Iran’s restraint (so Israel’s days of ‘hit and run’ are not over!)
My initial intention was not to comment on
Iran’s decision to ignore Israel’s most recent attack against the
integrity of its national territory. Although I
applaud this show of restraint on the part of Iran (a country
which has not initiated an attack against
another country for more than 150 years), as it is not in
Iran’s interest to be involved in a war against Israel and its attack
dogs (the USA, the UK, France and perhaps now also Germany), I was a
little puzzled as to what explanations geopolitical pundits would put
forward for Iran’s de-escalation efforts. So, I turned to Perplexity.ai,
which gave me the following answer to my question ‘Why
did Iran not retaliate a second time to Israel’s attack against it?’.
Although a little biased towards Western sources (an application
properly programmed would have included Iranian sources in its summary),
Perplexity.ai provided a highly plausible set of factors explaining that
country’s restraint:
Based on the search results provided, it appears Iran did not retaliate a second time against the reported Israeli drone strikes in Isfahan for a few key reasons:
1. To avoid further escalation and an all-out war with Israel. The search results indicate Iran's response to the Isfahan incident was muted, referring to it as an "infiltration" rather than an attack by Israel.[2] This seems calculated to avoid having to retaliate, which could spark a cycle of escalating violence.
2. The strikes caused limited damage. Iranian officials downplayed the Isfahan incident, stating the drones were "mini-drones" that caused no damage or casualties.[2] With minimal provocation, Iran likely calculated there was no need for a major retaliatory response.
3. Desire to keep the confrontation limited. One analysis suggests Iran's initial missile/drone attack on Israel was intended as "carefully calibrated retaliation" rather than the start of a wider war.[5] Not retaliating again appears part of Iran's strategy to keep the confrontation contained.
4. Avoiding undermining diplomacy. Some experts believe Iran held back to avoid undermining diplomatic efforts by the U.S. and others to de-escalate tensions and prevent the situation from spiraling into open conflict.[5]
5. Lack of strategic value. With Israel not acknowledging the Isfahan strikes, Iran may have seen little strategic value in a retaliatory strike that could provoke further Israeli retaliation.[3]
In essence, Iran seems to have calculated that not retaliating again was the prudent course to avoid escalating into a potentially devastating all-out war with Israel, especially given the limited scale of the reported drone strikes.[1][2][4][5]

When was the last time that Iran was the aggressor in a war?
Iran has been involved in several conflicts throughout its history. Here are some notable instances:
1. **Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988)**: Also known as the First Gulf War, this was a prolonged armed conflict between Iran and Iraq. It began with the Iraqi invasion of Iran and lasted for eight years. The war ended with the acceptance of United Nations Security Council Resolution 598¹[5].
2. **Recent Conflict (2024)**: In April 2024, Iran launched a missile and drone attack on Israel in retaliation for an Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. However, the attack was largely neutralized with the help of the US, UK, Jordan, and the Israeli military²[2]³[3]⁴[4].
While these are some examples, it's essential to recognize that historical context and perspectives can vary. The concept of "aggressor" can be subjective, depending on different viewpoints and interpretations of events. 🌐

Sorry, my question was 'When was the last time that Iran started a war?"
The last time Iran initiated a war was during the **Iran-Iraq War** (1980–1988). This conflict, also known as the First Gulf War, began with Iraq's invasion of Iran. It lasted for eight years and resulted in significant casualties and territorial disputes between the two nations[1]. Since then, Iran has been involved in other regional tensions and conflicts, but it has not officially started another full-scale war.

Me
When was the last time that Iran was the aggressor in a war?
Based on the information provided in the search results, Iran has not been the clear aggressor in a war for a long time, but there are some instances where Iran's actions could be considered aggressive:
- The Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) began with Iraq invading Iran in 1980, but Iran rejected a UN ceasefire resolution in 1982 and launched an offensive into Iraqi territory, which could be seen as an aggressive act.[3]
- In the early 19th century, Iran invaded parts of the Caucasus region between 1804-1813 and again in 1826 against Russia, though this was partly instigated by the British.[1]
- In 1856-1857, Persian forces invaded western Afghanistan to claim Herat, leading to the Anglo-Persian War with Britain.[1]
- There were border skirmishes and pushes into southern Iraq in the early 20th century as Iran tried to exert control over the Shatt al-Arab waterway.[1]
However, the sources state that Iran has not directly started or been the clear aggressor in a full-scale war for over 200 years, with the last such instance being the Anglo-Persian War in 1856-1857 when Persian forces invaded Afghanistan.[1] More recently, Iran has been accused of aggressive actions through proxies and militias, but not outright initiating invasions of other countries itself in the past couple of centuries.[1]

Are
Israel’s days of ‘hit and run’ over?
As I am certainly no military expert, please do not take my words as authoritative. The more so as one should always question everything, do one’s own research and draw one’s own conclusions. Anyhow the situation remains volatile given that Netanyahu has a vested interested in keeping his country at war because of the charges of corruption he is facing and the security failings under his leadership which became evident on 7th October.
I believe that Israel will not retaliate in the next few days by striking back at Iran directly and in the open because it would open up a third front at a time when Israel appears to be struggling already in its fight against Hamas, as some Jewish voices have claimed:

In addition, a conflict between Israel and Iran would cause the price of petroleum to go through the roof, as was the case in the 1974, but this time because Iran would almost certainly block or disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
What is more, the USA would be drawn into the war and this would certainly sound the death knell for Biden to be reelected to the US presidency.
However, I am convinced that Israel will retaliate in due time by using proxies or Mossad agents to perpetrate some major act of terrorism or simply by targeting senior IRGC military commanders whose presence abroad they will have learned of through their own or maybe even through Western intelligence networks.

Explainer: How did Iran’s retaliatory military action against Zionist entity unfold?

As I am certainly no military expert, please do not take my words as authoritative. The more so as one should always question everything, do one’s own research and draw one’s own conclusions. Anyhow the situation remains volatile given that Netanyahu has a vested interested in keeping his country at war because of the charges of corruption he is facing and the security failings under his leadership which became evident on 7th October.
I believe that Israel will not retaliate in the next few days by striking back at Iran directly and in the open because it would open up a third front at a time when Israel appears to be struggling already in its fight against Hamas, as some Jewish voices have claimed:

In addition, a conflict between Israel and Iran would cause the price of petroleum to go through the roof, as was the case in the 1974, but this time because Iran would almost certainly block or disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
What is more, the USA would be drawn into the war and this would certainly sound the death knell for Biden to be reelected to the US presidency.
However, I am convinced that Israel will retaliate in due time by using proxies or Mossad agents to perpetrate some major act of terrorism or simply by targeting senior IRGC military commanders whose presence abroad they will have learned of through their own or maybe even through Western intelligence networks.

‘Show,
not tell’: this week’s highlights from the Free Minds Project
(Plandemic & Psyop Weekly Wrap 1/4/24 - 5/4/24)
‘Show’ because the viewer is brought to
deduce information and draw their own conclusions from the juxtaposition
of various excerpts of press conferences or institutional clips.
In these excerpts, various government officials or senior members of international or semi-international organisations clearly reveal themselves as propagandists for dark and nefarious agendas.
[My summary, not FMP’s]
What is left of Al-Shifa Hospital; the IMF’s take on artificial intelligence; the arch-villainous vax-pusher is at it again, but funny how his voice tends to drop – you’re definitely not a great storyteller, Mr Bill Gates! Nato’s continued support of the genocide of Ukrainian and Russian men; flu-shot promotion in Australia; Blinken in Paris; Daniel Hagari on the IDF’s targeting of World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza via three airstrikes on their vehicles [not very convincing or is it only me?]; the reaction of Australia’s PM; António Guterres, the Secretary General of the UN: ‘nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people’ and his objection to the IDF’s use of AI as a tool to identify the bombing of targets in densely populated residential areas in Gaza: ‘No part of life and death decisions which impact entire families should be delegated to the cold calculation of algorithms’ [wrong: this should simply NOT happen in the first place because civilians are not combatants]; the push by the WHO’s Director of Health Emergencies, Dr Mike Ryan, to adopt the Pandemic Treaty by drawing a spurious parallel between the healthcare workers who have died in Gaza under Israeli bombs, shelling or sniper fire and those who died during the C19 outbreak; Nato’s 75th anniversary; pure Orwellian douplespeak: 44:12-18 ‘Informed consent is my right. Autonomy over my body is my right’ [‘My health, my right’, WHO].
