Iran’s leader: Israel will be eradicated, not Hezbollah and ‘axis of resistance’
Times of Israel ^ | December 17, 2001 | Staff

Posted on 12/18/2024 6:36:52 AM PST by Red Badger

Iran’s supreme leader says Israel is wrong to believe that it can eradicate Hezbollah in Lebanon and that an “axis of resistance” of Tehran’s proxies in the region is finished.

State TV quotes Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as saying during a recent meeting on the occasion of Women’s Day that “the Zionist regime, in its delusion, believes it is preparing itself through Syria to encircle and eradicate Hezbollah forces, but the one that will be eradicated is Israel.”

Khamenei also adds that Israel and the United States “thought the issue of resistance was over. They are gravely mistaken.”

Foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei meanwhile says Iran will use every opportunity to mobilize the regional and international community to stop what he calls Israeli aggression against neighboring countries like Syria, Yemen and others.

He also says that the Syrian people are the only ones who can decide on their country’s future after the fall of president Bashar al-Assad, a Tehran ally. “Naturally, the regional countries should assist in this process without any destructive interference or any form of pressure and threats against the political actors in Syria.”

Baghaei urges regional countries to put pressure on the UN Security Council to stop Israel’s presence in a border buffer zone with Syria and says: “Ultimately, the entire occupied Golan Heights of Syria must be liberated.”

Israel says its presence in the buffer zone is temporary and defensive, with the goal of preventing hostile elements from taking advantage of the current vacuum of power in Syria to threaten Israel.

“Is he speaking from a future radioactive smoking hole?”

With Ham-ass, Hezballess and Hooties already severely damaged, add in crumbling their money source the icing on the cake would be a nuclear “accident”. This could easily come about the same time PootyPoot seeing his ruble at all time lows plus the ChiCom economy starting to spiral into the ground. Just too much winning.

No there will be a false peace for a while and then it will resume during the Tribulation. True peace will occur when Jesus returns.

The Khomeini was on a disjointed rant. He’s out of money and out of gas.

Any prediction on the timing of The Tribulation? It kind of feels like it is fast approaching.

I that Ezekiel 38 happens before the 7-year Tribulation period

But it’s impossible to prove that

Still I don’t see how Israel can be burning weapons during the last half of the 7 years since they have to run from Judea

Not even time to go back into their houses

Matthew 24:15-22
King James Version

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Make no mistake. Iran (and maybe Russia) is attempting to open another front against Israel in Sudan. Sudan is closer to Israel and a bigger threat to the Red Sea:

sounds to me like Khamenei needs a few million more pounds of bombs jammed down the throats of his anti-semitic proxy terrorists ...
