Israel has concluded that war with Iran is a strategic necessity.

A new Persian Empire is doomed to failure, because, the old Persian Empire was not moozlem. The new Persian Empire is doing everything it can to eradicate remnants of the old Persian Empire.

The mullah’s in Tehran are not after a “Persian” empire, just a Caliphate controlled by clerics of Shia-Islam who subscribe to the version of Shia theology promoted by the mullahs in Iran, as opposed to a Caliphate imposed by any branch of Sunni Islam. The mullah’s in Iran systematically destroy, in Iran, anything Persian that is not also Muslim.

‘A Turkish attempt to establish a neo-Ottoman Empire failed (none of their neighbors wanted the Turks back)’
LOL. Don’t tell it to Turks, please.

Tall
H is usualllly on target. But this time he is a little off.
The 12’ers in charge want world chaos and war. They do not see themselves as conquerors. But rather they see themselves as the catalysts for the return of the Mahdi.
The end result is the same. We will be pumping oil through a foot of ashes on the surface.

More like a Shia-Sunni World War.
And FYI - Iran (Shia) is vastly outnumbered.

Written from a purely secular point of view, but with amazingly prophetic spiritual meanings.

This writer is too quick to dismiss Turkish aspirations - they are very powerful, and have gained influence with bold moves in Syria, while being ready to make a campaign for the Crimea.
I agree that there are those in Iran who want a new Persian Empire. They and Turkey might wish to carve up Iraq between them.

The problem with Turkey is that president believes he must be a Caliph in their cozy new Caliphate ISIS now fights for. Another problem is there are too many Turks, including nice educated dudes who are loathing to the idea of being a metropoly again, not to mention village idiots who loves the Anti-Western, Islamic aspect of it.
