Iran Puts Air-Defense Systems on \u2018High Alert\u2019<\/h2>\n

July 19, 2020<\/p>\n

There are \u201cseveral\u201d indications Iran has parts of its air-defense system on \u201chigh alert\u201d following mysterious explosions occurring throughout the country …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The move means \u201cIranian surface-to-air missile batteries would be ready to fire at targets perceived to be a threat,\u201d according to CNN, which mentioned that the U.S. official wouldn\u2019t disclose how America detected the Iranian change in alert status.<\/p>\n

U.S. officials declined to comment to CNN about this apparent development, which comes as at least seven Iranian ships caught fire in the port city of Bushehr on Wednesday in a series of mysterious explosions and fires around Iranian military, nuclear and industrial facilities in recent weeks. …<\/p>\n

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said earlier this month that the country is not behind every incident that occurs in Iran. https:\/\/www.breakingisraelnews.com\/155010\/report-iran-puts-air-defense-systems-on-high-alert\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No, Israel is not behind EVERY incident that occurs in Iran, but that does not mean it is not behind many significant ones.<\/p>\n

Iran must be attempting to figure out how to retaliate against Israel for recent explosions and other incidents some have tied to one or more cyber attacks (e.g. \u2018Yet Another Explosion at Iranian Nuclear Site\u2019<\/a>\u00a0and BIN: Israeli Cyber-Attack Caused Secret Iranian Nuclear Missile Plant to Explode<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Iran has drones that could cause great damage. Forbes<\/em> reported:<\/p>\n

July 19, 2020<\/p>\n

The proliferation of armed drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), in the Middle East over the past decade is alarming. …<\/p>\n

Iran also operates an array of loitering munitions and has supplied some to non-state actors in the region.<\/p>\n

Iranian Ra\u2019ad 85 drones reportedly have an operational range of around 80 miles and reportedly can reach a top speed of about 250 mph.<\/p>\n

Unlike the tiny Kargu-2 or Hero-30 loitering munitions, the Ra\u2019ad 85s are designed to strike larger targets with precision. Tehran\u00a0showcased<\/a>\u00a0the drone\u2019s capabilities during military drills in December 2016.<\/p>\n

Three months earlier, the Iranian Navy\u00a0unveiled<\/a>\u00a0another drone that officials claimed \u201ccan carry payloads of explosives for combat missions\u201d and \u201ccollide with the target and destroy it, (whether) a vessel or an onshore command center.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the officials also pointed out this is a secondary role of the unmanned aircraft, the primary role being maritime surveillance. The drone has a purported range of about 600 miles. …<\/p>\n

In September, loitering munitions and cruise missiles damaged Saudi oil facilities after managing to evade the kingdom\u2019s air defenses. That attack aptly demonstrated the effectiveness of, and threat posed by, such weapons. https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/pauliddon\/2020\/07\/19\/turkey-israel-and-iran-have-built-some-very-lethal-loitering-munitions\/#112488a259de<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The claim of precision related to Iranian drones was something of interest.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Because there are prophecies about peoples that look to be in Iran and Syria attacking the tiny nation of Israel and causing damage to Jerusalem in the end times:<\/p>\n

\n

1 The burden against the Valley of Vision.<\/p>\n

What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops, 2 You who are full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city? Your slain men are not slain with the sword, Nor dead in battle. 3 All your rulers have fled together; They are captured by the archers. All who are found in you are bound together; They have fled from afar. 4 Therefore I said, \u201cLook away from me, I will weep bitterly; Do not labor to comfort me Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.\u201d<\/p>\n

5 For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord God of hosts In the Valley of Vision \u2014 Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain. 6 Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen<\/strong>, And Kir uncovered the shield. 7 It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots, And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.<\/p>\n

8 He removed the protection of Judah<\/strong>. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest; 9 You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great<\/strong>; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses you broke down To fortify the wall. 11 You also made a reservoir between the two walls For the water of the old pool. But you did not look to its Maker, Nor did you have respect for Him who fashioned it long ago.<\/p>\n

12 And in that day the Lord God of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning, For baldness and for girding with sackcloth. 13 But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine: \u201cLet us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!\u201d<\/p>\n

14 Then it was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of hosts,\u201dSurely for this iniquity there will be no atonement for you, Even to your death,\u201d says the Lord God of hosts. (Isaiah 22:1-14 NKJV)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Elam is a reference to at least some in Iran. Kir seems to tie to Syrians to Kir. Syria is probably the closest ally of Iran.<\/p>\n

In Isaiah 22: 8, \u201cJudah\u201d is a reference to those in the land commonly called Israel\u2013God will allow Israel to be attacked! In Isaiah 22:9, consider that \u201cthe damage to the city of David\u201d is a reference to at least part of Jerusalem\u2013and notice that the damage will be great.<\/p>\n

I have long wondered about the willingness of Iran to damage Jerusalem as 1) it wants to take it over and 2) there are Islamic religious sites and mosques that are in that city.<\/p>\n

But, if Iran thinks its drones and other military options are precise, that would reduce Iranian hesitation–even if in reality, the precision ends up not being there.<\/p>\n

In addition to alleged Israeli cyber attack caused problems and explosions in Iran, what else might get Iran to act?<\/p>\n

Consider that Iran claims to have more cases of COVID-19 than the rest of the world combined:<\/p>\n

\n

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said 35 million Iranians may contract the coronavirus as the country still did not have herd immunity although a quarter of the population may be infected.<\/p>\n

“Our estimate is that up to now, 25 million Iranians have been infected with this virus,” Rouhani said during a televised meeting of the country’s virus-fighting task force on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“We have to consider the possibility that 30 to 35 million more may face infection.” 07\/18\/20 https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2020\/07\/rouhani-35-million-iranians-contract-coronavirus-200718105252256.html<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This might concern the population in Iran, as have the economic impact of US sanctions.<\/p>\n

Consider also the following from al Jazeera<\/em> (AJ):<\/p>\n

\n

Iran’s message to its people: If you revolt, you die<\/h2>\n

The Iranian authorities are ramping up repression. They fear mass protests now more than ever.<\/em> …<\/p>\n

Why did Iranian authorities rapidly intensify their efforts to silence dissenting voices in the last few weeks? The short answer is “fear”. Today, amid a devastating pandemic and crippling economic sanctions, the Iranian government is more concerned about the possible re-emergence of mass riots than ever before. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today, Iranian people are fed up with the government’s totalitarian desire to control all aspects of their lives and its apparent inability to address pressing environmental threats, such as air pollution and drought. Moreover, they are extremely dissatisfied with its bungling response to the COVID-19 pandemic. But above all, many Iranians from all walks of life are experiencing unprecedented, crippling economic hardship as a result of the cumulative consequences of the US sanctions, the COVID-19 pandemic and the incompetence of the Iranian government. <\/span><\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump’s 2018 decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and embark on a “maximum pressure” policy devastated Iran’s economy, which was already in dire straits due to chronic mismanagement and widespread corruption. Just over a year later, the coronavirus pandemic, and the consequent drop in global oil prices, inflicted a second deadly blow on the country’s finances.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to US sanctions, Iran’s oil revenues dropped from over $60bn in 2018 to $9bn in 2019. As the Iranian leadership tried to compensate for its oil revenue losses with gains in other sectors, the pandemic struck the service sector – which makes up more than 40 percent of Iran’s economy – and sped up the country’s looming economic collapse.<\/span> 07\/19\/20 https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/indepth\/opinion\/iran-message-people-revolt-die-200713160012571.html<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As a distraction, as well as to attain the stated goals of the Iranian ruling party, Iran’s leaders may soon feel that the time is right to hit Israel.<\/p>\n

Iran probably has also figured out that the Europeans have not been helpful enough to get around sanctions, so losing EU support if it attacks Israel is less of a concern than it otherwise might be.<\/p>\n

Iran is more heavily trying to work with China (see \u2018Iran and China Turbo-Charge the New Silk Roads\u2019<\/a>) and likely does not see that arrangement would be at much risk if it attacked Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

We may be in the early stages of the ride of the second horseman of the Apocalypse–that is the horseman that takes peace from the earth.<\/p>\n

Iran may be planning a war.<\/p>\n
