Iran is in fact forcing a direct military confrontation upon Israel. We are not only talking about President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s exaggerated verbal passion or the Iranian nuclear project...  Based on foreign reports, the Air Force bombed about two months ago, in Sudan, a shipment of medium-range rockets with a range of 70 kilometers (roughly 40 miles,) apparently the Fajar 3 model. This is not a small missile. In fact, it is a missile that the Iranians are manufacturing especially for the Gaza Strip, so that it can be dismantled to several pieces and smuggled in through the Gaza tunnels...

The picture is becoming clearer: The Iranians are aiming to establish a rocket base south of Israel that would cover the entire Gush Dan area in central Israel from the south. This is not paranoia. The “tight grip theory,” namely, clasping the State of Israel from both the north and south, turns Iran into a concrete enemy, rather than a theoretical one.  READ MORE

Donnie's Remarks...

Iran is moving military missiles into the Gaza strip.  Tehran aims to create a Gaza missile base that can cover all of central Israel.  It seems Ahmadinejad's End Times beliefs may be driving him to force a war with Israel, sooner than later.  He believes he has been chosen by Allah to bring about the 12th Imam and has stated that his government should be paving the way for the return of the Mahdi (Muslim's Messiah figure) and that his return is imminent.  I have said before that there are any number of scenarios that we could envision leading to the Gog/Magog attack upon Israel, but there is no doubt that one of the participants in this prophesied war is Iran.  Unfortunately, we cannot be certain when this battle will happen.  Right now, it is still in the future, but stories like this one could be an indicator the major conflict may take place soon.

⁵ Persia (Iran), Cush and Put will be with them...
