THE IRANIAN ARMAGEDDON
By Alan Caruba
THE INTENTION OF IRAN'S PSYCHOTIC AYATOLLAHS: ENABLE IRAN TO SECURE A NUCLEAR MILITARY CAPABILITY
& USE THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS TO ATTACK & HOPEFULLY DESTROY, FIRST, THE STATE OF ISRAEL, & THEN, EUROPE & THE
U.S.A. -- THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SHIITE RELIGIOUS FANATICISM & IRAN'S MILITARY STRATEGY & ASPIRATIONS --
WHY THE COLD WAR IDEA OF "MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION" DOES NOT FUNCTION AS A DETERRENT IN THE
CONFLICT BETWEEN IRAN & THE WEST -- MASSIVE DESTRUCTION AS BEING ESSENTIAL TO BRINGING ABOUT THE SHIITE
END TIMES SCENARIO -- THE ROLE OF THE TWELFTH IMAM IN THE PROCESS
FULL STORY:
In the months and years leading up to the beginning of World War Two, all the parties to the eventual general conflict
were well aware of German dictator Adolf Hitler’s intention to start a war. When Hitler struck a deal with Stalin to divide
Poland between the Third Reich and the USSR, the die was cast. The invasion of Poland came in September, 1939.
Previously, diplomats had met with the Nazis to offer them the former Czechoslovakia and turned a blind eye to other
provocative events on the part of Nazi Germany.
World War Two was preceded by publication of Hitler’s book, Mein Kampf, which spelled out Der Fuhrer's plans
for Europe’s Jews, as well as the torrent of Nazi lies that led to war and the genocide that became known as the
Holocaust.
It is not surprising that history is repeating itself, as in the case of an April 7, 2011, letter to the Wall Street Journal
by Alireza Miryousefi of the Iranian Mission to the United Nations. “There is no evidence of any military diversion” in
Iran’s nuclear facilities, claimed Mr. Miryousefi, who went on to assert that “the real threat of nuclear proliferation” was
Israel, which he described as “the Zionist regime.”
Despite Iran’s support for two terrorist organizations, Hezbollah and Hamas, it was Israel, said Mr. Miryousefi, that was
“the biggest terrorist and apartheid regime.”
Today, everyone knows the Iran’s crazed Ayatollahs intend to secure nuclear weapons capability and everyone knows
that, when they do, they will attack Israel with them. They have never ceased to call for Israel's destruction. It is not a
question of if, but when, Israel will be subject to an Iranian nuclear missile attack.
How close is “when”? The Iranians just released a video titled The Coming is Near, a video that describes the
current events in the Middle East as the prelude to the coming of the Twelfth Imam, the Mahdi, a figure particular to the
Shiite branch of Islam and one that Islamic scriptures say will lead the armies of Islam to victory over all non-Muslims in
the last days.
In a nuclear age, as Nikita Krushchev, a former Premier of the Soviet Union, once said, “The living will envy the dead.”
Those were the days of the Cold War and, with both the U.S.A. and Soviet Russia possessing nukes, the concept of
mutually assured destruction, MAD, was understood. This, however, does not apply to the Ayatollahs. They need
massive destruction to bring about their Islamic End Times scenario.
In a recent Wall Street Journal interview with Dr. Bernard Lewis -- British-American historian, Fellow of the British
Academy, Ph.D. (University of London), specialist in the History of Islam, and the West’s leading scholar on the
Middle East -- Dr. Lewis pointed out that the Mullahs “are religious fanatics with an apocalyptic mindset. In Islam, as in
Christianity and Judaism, there is an end-of-times scenario — and they think it’s beginning or has already begun.”
The result, said Lewis, is that “mutually assured destruction is not a deterrent; it’s an inducement.”
In the days leading up to World War Two, the diplomatic choice was appeasement. Today, hope is that the Mullahs
can be deterred long enough that Iranians will somehow bring about regime change from within. The computer virus,
Stuxnet, had the affect of interfering with the enrichment process necessary to weaponize uranium, but may not now be
a factor.
In the meantime, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), composed of six Arab nation-states, are discussing a proposal to
identify and deport an estimated 20,000 Shiites linked to Iran. In Kuwait the plan would focus on Lebanese Shiites with
links to Hezbollah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
It is believed that many Iranian agents have been activated this year and, as such, pose a security threat. Said one GCC
insider, “For years, the GCC knew of these people, but looked the other way. We can’t look the other way anymore.”
The news, unfortunately, just keeps getting worse and worse. In the muddle that represents the effort to overthrow
Libya’s Qadhafi, DebkaFile reports that the “rebels” have sold thousands of chemical shells found in Benghazi
to Hezbollah and Hamas, two puppet organizations funded by Iran.
When you add to that the thousands of rockets cached in Lebanon by Hezbollah and the rocketing that has been
reinstituted from Gaza by Hamas, you have a trigger for a wider war.
Specifically, you have the elements of the destruction of Israel by the Iranians and the socalled Palestinians, a stateless
group of Islamic radicals who have been the pawns of Iran and Arab nations for more than six decades.
In late March, 2011, U.S. Senators Mark Kirk (Republican - Illinois) and Kirsten Gillibrand (Democrat - New York) were
joined by twenty-five other Senators who sent a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asking her to identify
specific steps the administration is taking to press the Palestinian Authority to end the “dangerous incitement against
Jews and Israel.” The letter was sent in the wake of the terrorist murder of the Fogel family in Itamar and a bombing of a
civilian bus in Jerusalem. A school bus has since been attacked.
You don’t have to be a CIA analyst to know that events in the Middle East will be exploited by the Iranians to bring
about their apocalyptic End Times aspirations and that the destruction of Israel is, in their view, the trigger. After Israel,
the United States and Europe will be next.
