Despite the lingering demonstrations and disorder in Tehran, Irans ruling mullahs are confident anew in their countrys ability to surge to a hegemonic position in the Middle East without a major war. The main reason for the mullahs confidence is their interpretation of the appeasement policies of the US Barack Obama Administration.
It doesn't matter whether we're talking about the Obama Administration or the Bush Administration -- neither one accomplished anything in regards to stopping Iran from pushing their agenda, and succeeding, in developing nuclear weapons to take this hegemonic position on the Middle East.
And, for those who've been reading the Bible, they've already known that Iran was not going to be stopped from this action, no matter what. It's not that we shouldn't have tried, but the "outcome" was already known by Bible students.
It's the Ezekiel 38/39 war that is joined by Russia and other Islamic allies that Iran is heavily involved with and they are all going to attack Israel, as a result.
That's coming up pretty soon, you can count on it...
Iran probably knows more about our Muslim President than we do. He has kept his secrets from us.
Iran to Surge to a Hegemonic Hemorrhoid Position in the Middle East Without a Major War
As soon as they develop a nuclear weapon....bet.
Very interesting analysis. They’re certainly feeling confident. They just refused entry to Kerry, btw, so I guess they don’t even feel the need for another boot-licking from the US.
The author seems to think the Arabs will abide by the “If you can’t beat them, join them” axiom. I disagree. Iran has been too much of a pain in the rear for the Arab leaders and too much of a threat to control of regional oil routes, plus the age-old Sunni-Shi’ite/Arab-Persian rivalry. Of course, the Arabs hate Israel just as much as they hate Iran. Which is why they want Israel to strike Iran’s nuke facilities—that way Israel gets all the retaliation from Hamas, Hezbollah, and Syria and Iran loses its key to regional hegemony. It’s a win-win for the Arabs. That’s why FM Saud al-Faisal has been lobbying behind the scenes in DC to get the US to support an Israeli strike on Iran. That’s why the Saudis gave permission to Israel to use their airspace.
Both the Arabs and Iran’s mullahs are a problem. Which is why regime change in Iran is the cure to this mess. If we get a Western-friendly secular gov’t in Iran, THEY will be the bulwark against Saudi & Co. and not vice versa. They’ll be our ally again. Syria will lose its only regional ally, Hezbollah will lose its source of income and weaken, which the other Lebanese political parties will take advantage of, and the Hawthis, the Taliban, Hamas, Iraqi groups like the Mahdi Army and Asa’ib al-Haqq, and Somali pirates will lose a source of weapons and money. Knocking out the mullahs has the potential to transform the entire Middle East order.
Interesting long article overhere.
