This man could well be a pawn used by God to fulfill prophecy. Only that what God said that will happen will be completely at odds with what this Iranian leader hopes to achieve:
Ezekiel 38-39 (NKJV).

"1 “And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh,[a] Meshech, and Tubal; 2 and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord GOD. 6 “And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the LORD. 7 So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore. Then the nations shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. 8 Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says the Lord GOD. “This is the day of which I have spoken.
9 “Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for seven years. 10 They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; and they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them,” says the Lord GOD." - Ezekiel 39:1-10 (NKJV)
It is God who sets men up over nations, and it is God who brings them down. God did use Pharoah to teach Moses and Aaron that there is none greater than the Most High. Prophecy will be fulfilled, most certainly.
thank you, I really needed that, would you from time to time email me, keisha MN, some scriptures? I am having a hard time, as I read more near death phophecies, I had a near death, a core one, but I didn't get futuristic plans, they are so depressing, the ones I have read, and now Iran does this stuff, it makes me crazy because the Iranians themselves are not bad people, it is their coo koo leaders that make them conform, some of them are bad, but I think of the innocent, beautiful people too, this is hard, so I am uplifted by certain scriptures, thanks.
