After calling for a regional military alliance under the banner of the Islam's messianic "Mahdi," Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, along with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is continuing the push for a regional "resistance" army against Israel and the United States.
Last week, WND reported Ayatollah Khamenei had called on the nations of Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan to unite militarily in response to the imminent coming of the Mahdi.
According to a report in Al Arabiya, the purpose for uniting was to raise up a unified regional resistance to fight Israel and the U.S. - seen as the two greatest obstacles to the coming of the Mahdi and the age of Islamic "justice."
