I personally believe this is the next prophecy to take place. They could use a nuke to take out Elam.
Saudi Arabia could provide the airstrip. The US is unreliable and should not even be told or any strike.
If they are waiting on someone else they don’t deserve freedom.
This is a hazy memory, but haven’t some concluded from scripture that Russia will be pulled into this conflict based on a treaty with Iran?
(Apologies in advance for ringing a Pavlovian bell to all of the covenant theology Freepers)
KSA wouldn’t dare. They’ve got plenty of Wahhabists who would use that as a pretext. At most, they’ll tacitly allow use of their airspace to shorten the trip, and publicly pretend to be outraged. That’s life in the ME.
The US would not have won the Revolution without France.
Why should Israel do for you that which you are unwilling to do for yourself?
They have tanker aircraft.
They won’t attack Iran directly because it would start WWIII. I am pretty sure the West has drawn that line pretty thick.
As the article mentions, they have had multiple uprisings, all brutally put down by the regime. They are not the only ones. In the 17th Century, the Ukrainians repeatedly had uprisings against the Polish overlords, and each time it failed, until Chmelnicki, who thought to ally himself with the Tartars in the Crimea, and together they overthrew the Poles (and massacred the Jooos! in process).
Then, like suckers, they put themselves under the “protection” of the Czar, but I digress. Revolutions usually require outside help, with few exceptions. The French Revolution was initially peaceable and caused by a financial collapse and an oath in a tennis court, so didn’t require outside help. The Russian Revolution was also more a collapse of the Czarist regime, and a “provisional government” peacefully took its place. Later, the French and the Russian revolutions both degenerated into bloodbaths. But the initial revolutions were peaceable in both cases.
Jerusalem would much prefer the Iranian people to succeed in getting a peaceful, sane, sensible government...rather than other countries needing to do it from outside (especially given Israel’s very strong commitment to humanitarian concerns — there could be millions of “collateral casualties” in Iran if Israel and the Arab states have to do it for them).
A very high number of Iranian lives are at stake, this is not just a passing thought or minor matter. Several of the Iranian dictatorship’s most important military targets are hidden in or under large cities
One way or the other, Iran’s time is running out... so with the very very greatest of respect and best wishes for success to the Iranian people— they should shift their efforts into high gear now.
Likewise Gandhi’s satyagraha revolution in India was peaceful. But right after, the conflict between Hindus and Muslims turned into a bloodbath, and after it all, Gandhi was assassinated.
So violent revolutions are the most peaceful, but require help from outside. Peaceful revolutions turn bloody, but are self-contained.
They were in the process of overthrowing the regime under Trump, until Brandon stepped in and started letting them have money.
America is back!/sarc
Sounds like Gordon Chang’s take on China falling.
I know this isn’t directly related to this topic but it is still very relevant. I thought it was a good summary of the current state of things as well as some good suggestions for Israel regarding Russia, Iran and China. A little long (def. put on fast playback) but very informative and worth it IMHO if you haven’t already seen it.

***Let’s not forget that we have a great military of 18 million Iranians who are thirsty for democracy and freedom in Iran,***
Let’s not forget that these same are the children and grandchildren of those who rebelled and invited the Mullah’s in. They have what they asked for. Now they don’t like it.
Indeed. Correct. And most sad.
There was a major uprising in Iran during the Obama Administration attempting to overthrow the government.
Obama did nothing and gave the Mad Mulla government billions with the so called Iranian deal. All the while the Obama Administration was fomenting revolutions around the globe. Mostly in support of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Bolshevik coup that overthrew the Provisional Government in 1917 was enabled and financed by the German High Command.
But that’s oblique support. The French support of the American Revolution was direct, right after George Washington showed that the army he had built could hold its own at Monmouth. Until then, it was oblique support; supplies, volunteers, loans, etc.
