Armed protesters fired on the unarmed Iranian soldiers in a parade yesterday, killing 30. This was not ISIS but a local group, displaying the division and weakness within Iran.
More on the downing of the Russian plane and the slow but seemingly inexorable path toward war, due to the financial threats on Russia, Iran, and Turkey.
This is still the calm before the storm but the dark cloud of the Ezekiel War can be seen.
More comments on America's role in all of this, and a report on Amir's ministry here in the U.S.
Gee. Apparently there are people in Iran who just don’t like the mullahs. Apparently they really don’t like them.
A very strong report, with some enlightening comment, as usual.
Amir is using Twitter more now, as it is faster and easier for him. Even if you are not a Twitter person, you might want to join and then follow Behold Israel to get reports every few hours or so on the situation in the Middle East.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
They got a few in the VIP section too. Sad for the innocents who were caught in the chaos.
Trump will be addressing Iran and also the Russia-Skripal scandal in his speech to the UN Assembly.

I have met Iranians who fled Iran.
They hate the islamic regime with a burning passion.
Support the Zoroastrians..
AK behind every grain of sand,and all that.
Is "protesters" really the right word here?
Ahvaz National Resistance takes 'credit'
they should kill the mullahs, not soldiers without weapons.....that smacks of being bit too ruthless...
I’ve met Iranins.....they describe themselves as “Persians”.
They killed Iran's Revolutionary Guards, not happless, cannon-fodder conscripts. Think Islamic SS. They are all fair game, armed or not.
Same with the ones Ive met.
It is if you want to paint protestors in the US as terrorists.
Could it be a “Reichstag Fire” to just the justify a crackdown by the Mullahs?
I could be mistaken, but I believe that Iranians who refer to themselves as Persian are Christian. If they refer to themselves as Iranian, they're muslim.
Could it be a Reichstag Fire to just the justify a crackdown by the Mullahs?

Being Iran, it could be, but there is so much dissent, economic unhappiness, sectarian differences that such a scheme is unlikely. The group that did it is Sunni, while in the mountains the Kurds are attacking Iranian patrols and suffering rocket attacks over the border into Iraq by the Guards.
No. It should have been “anti-regime militants” or “anti-regime terrorists” or something like that. (I wrote the intro as a kind of summary.)
See my post #19. You are right. Big difference.
