Pastor X - You don’t understand the extreme version of Shia Islam that is in charge here. It’s a death cult...It has many committed followers at a high level look up into the sky and say, “let the bomb come for me—its quick and paradise is waiting” ...These believers can welcome the absorption of great pain and loss of life for their cause.
Pastor T. - The regime is structured a bit like the house church movement...It decentralized the lines of authority...There is no head to cut off....
Pastor I. - The government knows it has powerful allies like China and Russia... It’s strange to hear Western commentators say that the Strait of Hormuz is closed. It isn’t closed. Iranian tankers are allowed to go to deliver to its largest markets of China and India.
Another thing too is the role of the Gulf states..the Iranian leaders know the Gulf leaders feel very betrayed by the Americans, who didn’t even bother to inform them of the attacks...
"Have attitudes changed among your congregations four weeks into the bombing?"
Pastor I. - Here in Isfahan yes, they have a bit, because we have seen some of our beautiful buildings destroyed. This is a lovely city. The glory of Persia. People are saying, how could the Israelis and the Americans be so foolish? We feel that this no longer an attack on a hated Islamic regime, but an attack on Iran’s cultural heritage.
Pastor T. Not where I am, and it has a lot to do with how many families lost loved ones in January. Those massacres will never be forgiven or forgotten...
Pastor T. God is still on the throne, and Christ has the gift of eternal life. We can face death as cheerfully as the leaders of the Shia regime...

The mullahs aren’t just Shia, they are Twelvers.
They believe that Allah will return only after the twelfth imam comes out of the well he has been hiding in all these years.
And the guy won’t come out of the well until the world is in a shambles.
The mullahs are looking forward to a dying world of war so all the nonmuslims will be killed by that twelfth imam. (or maybe Allah does the killing)
We cannot allow Iran to have the bomb. They will use it.
I agree with you, however I wonder just how much those in charge who have Benefited from wealth and power attained over the decades actually want to die for the cause?
Like many of the sheep in this country they have convinced them of this path
Do as I say not as I do
Announce that every bomb since the beginning has held a special bottle of pig’s blood.
They are bombs of doom. No heaven, no 72 baby goats.
We have seen so many times Iranian citizens rise up and be slaughtered. Finally, the USA responded, but a month later. I don’t know if there are many Iranians left alive of the rise-up persuasion.
Even if they are of the “rise up” persuasion, I don’t know of Mossad in Iran will be able to get enough arms to willing people fast enough.
