Netanyahu is seeking to draw the USA into a proxy war with Iran
just like the one he manipulated against Iraq:
Iran is still a major force of provocation and destabilization in the world.
While Israel has given land for peace, only to be more of a sitting duck .
Iran is still a theocracy, governed by a radical cleric who, like 85 percent of Iranians,
believes in Twelver Shiism, an ideology that embraces death. Iran remains the world’s
number one state sponsor of terrorism, and it continues toward becoming a nuclear power.
Daniel 11:40 says this:
And at the time of the end shall the king [Iran] of the south push at him:
and the king [Germany] of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind,
with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships;
and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
An Islamic group of nations to be led by Iran as the prophesied king of the south
which will push at the king of the north, the European Union.
Iran has a foreign policy with a lot of “push” , Iran’s main strategic aim is to be
the dominant power in the Middle East, and has become the undisputed leader
of the radical Islamic camp.
Iran has a long history of being recognized by successive United States governments,
as well as European nations, as being the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism.
Iran actively seeks to destabilize nations where there is a significant Shiite population.
In fact, every nation that has a substantial Shiite presence is currently embroiled in conflict.
In Lebanon, Iran has a direct hold on the largest and best-equipped terrorist organization in
the world: Hezbollah. Hezbollah readily admits both its patronage and decision-making comes
from Tehran. It has grown so large and powerful that it dominates even the Lebanese govern-
ment. As of 2017, the organization has more than 150,000 rockets and missiles at its disposal
to be used in the next war against Israel.
In Syria, the government of strongman Bashar Assad is directly supported by Iranian troops
of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force and other Iran-backed proxies. Iran
spent $100 billion between 2012 and 2017 to keep Assad in power. If not for Iran’s powerful
support, Assad likely would have fallen from power years ago, before an estimated half
million people were killed.
In Iraq, Iran is using the power vacuum created by the withdrawal of United States forces,
as well as the fight against the Islamic State, to increase its own presence. In late 2016,
Iran cemented its control over Iraq, when the Baghdad parliament voted in favor accepting
the Popular Mobilization Units (pmu) into its national security force. The 100,000 soldiers
of the pmu pay only lip service to the Baghdad government; most of their decision-making
comes from Iran.
In Yemen, the Houthis, a Shiite sect in the northwest of the country, continue to wage war
against the government. After the Houthis captured Yemen’s capital in late 2014, Iran was
the one that claimed the victory. At the time, Mohammed Sadeq al-Hosseini, adviser to
former Iranian President Mohammed Khatami, stated, “We in the axis of resistance are
the new sultans of the Mediterranean and the Gulf. We in Tehran, Damascus, [Hezbollah’s]
southern suburb of Beirut, Baghdad and Sanaa will shape the map of the region.We are the
new sultans of the Red Sea as well.”
Added to these nations, Iran is actively seeking to destabilize Bahrain and eastern Saudi Arabia,
where again, large Shiite populations exist. It also seeks to bridge the Sunni-Shiite divide by
funding the Palestinian group Hamas, which is committed to the destruction of Israel.
