ONE SHOE DROPS, THE OTHER WILL SOON: ISRAEL-IRAN WAR

This is also an update to the Syrian War II (Great Middle East War) prediction on 2019 Predictions as it marks a PARTIAL FULFILLMENT of the prediction. So this will also appear at that location as well.
​
Since late August the multi-faceted conflict I predicted would become the "Kosovo War of the Middle East" (if the Syrian Civil War was compared to Bosnia) has been given a name: The Israel-Iran War (aka The Iran-Israel War).

The first Israel-Iran war

Do you remember (without using Google), when the last time was that Israel fought a war involving the enemy's regular army? The answer is 37 years ago. Yes, some 37 years have passed since the Israel Defense Forces locked horns with the Syrian army in Lebanon's Beqaa Valley.

Israel-Iran conflict exposes bleeding edge of a war for the entire Middle East

The success of Israel's security forces, intelligence bodies and air force in thwarting Iran's plans to carry out a high-profile attack using drones launched from Syria is far from the last we will see of the war that has been raging in the Middle East in recent years.

Opinion | The Iran-Israel War Is Here

Israel and Iran are at war. Israeli strikes this week in southern Syria, western Iraq and eastern Lebanon-and possibly even Beirut-confirm it. This war is a very 21st-century affair. For now it involves only small circles among the Israeli and Iranian populations.

The combatants are not only Israel and Iran but now also include Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria. This is the war I predicted would begin in February 2019. That projected date was a month late from when the air strikes by Israel against Iranian forces in Syria began ... as well as counter rocket attacks against Israel and the Golan Heights by Iranian forces in Syria and by Syrian government troops. For the last few months Israel has been attacking Iranian-backed militias in Iraq. In early September, Israel’s military shelled a series of Hezbollah factories and installations in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. Whether or not this facet of the war will continue to be called The Israel-Iran War remains to be seen, but it is being recognized by more and more news agencies. This is one shoe of the war I predicted that has dropped, thus a PREDICTION PARTIALLY FULFILLED. Of course we have to see if it continues to escalate and spread.

The other shoe dropping is in progress right now: total War between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The trigger, finally, may be yesterday's Iranian attacks on Saudi oil refineries. Up until now the two countries have been waging a proxy conflict in the Yemen Civil War. That may soon change.

Also, this is a war likely to draw in the United States and which has already created skirmishes and hostile acts in the Persian Gulf. Full-blown naval conflict will likely follow if the two countries go to war (as it now appears they will). When that conflict finally begins, the prediction will be completely fulfilled and, at some point, the two wars (Israel-Iran and Saudi-Iran) will merge and escalate into a conflict that will cover the entire Middle East and beyond.
