My prediction- 22 July (the next new moon)

I think Sir Winston Churchill put it best:

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.

The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.

No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

— Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 [London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899]).

That’s interesting. That’s Rosh Chodesh Av, the beginning of the Nine Days.

I don't think Israel will do anything, but even if they do attempt something, they won't be successful.

This is surreal. What would be the motivation for making this public?

This gives the Iranians justification for a first strike, both against Israel AND Saudi Arabia (both of which they want badly). Therefore Israel must make the first aggressive action and Saudi Arabia must demonstrate Muslim solidarity (thus possibly giving them justification in back-stabbing the Israelis should they take the bait). Meanwhile, it allows the West to wash their hands of the consequences no matter what happens.

Any further questions?

Looks to me like Barry Chamish could end up being vindicated, albeit not in the exact manner he predicted.

Iran won’t strike Israel directly, they’ll do it by proxy through Hezbollah and Hamas and the other Mohammedan terrorists lurking about the region. Iran will concentrate it’s forces on the Saudi’s and the rest of the little kingdoms that don’t capitulate immediately to their rule, which I think most will. They’ll leave Israel for later. It’s far more important they secure dominance over the ME, and the ability to cripple Europe.

They might if they truly believe that Israel will take action to cripple their nuclear effort. Remember, to the mullahs, this isn't about Islam, it's about their oligarchy over Islam.

As to the incremental method in Europe, yes that's obvious, and they'll get European nukes in the process. I can't see it taking longer than thirty years.

Well, to put pressure on the Obama Administration to support Israel in this endeavor.

“Well, to put pressure on the Obama Administration to support Israel in this endeavor.”

I’m thinking more to tell obama that his pressure on THEM won’t work. They are a sovereign state looking out for their own survival and their proximity to other nations in the region has its perks... Not many, but some.
Whether the 0 admin supports them or not isn’t going to be their main consideration.

...and Israel just sailed a Dolphin Class sub through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea.

Israeli submarine crosses Suez Canal with eye on Iran.

Kind of makes one go, "Hmmm...".
