In time, we may discover that the timing of the Hamas’ unprovoked genocidal attack on Israeli communities around Gaza, had a lot to do with Iran’s attempts to break the impending peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, negotiated by the Biden administration in recent months. Although back in March of this year, China successfully arranged for an Iranian-Saudi rapprochement, the Saudis do not trust the Ayatollahs and would sign a peace treaty with Israel if the US would provide them with certain guarantees.
The mullahs of Iran are playing a dangerous chess game in the Middle East region. Their murderous and hegemonic ambitions are at the expense of Arab and Jewish blood. They want to control the energy resources of the region, dominate the
religious sites, and thus become a world power. To accomplish their plan, Iran is seeking to expel the US from the region, and in the words of its former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad “erase Israel off the map.” Tehran has demonstrated its intentions by having its proxies in Iraq fire missiles at US bases in Iraq and Syria, hoping that the US would withdraw its forces from these bases, and clear the way for Iranian expansion.
Presidents Obama and Biden have appeased the theocratic and fanatical Tehran regime and sought to form some sort of a partnership with them. The Shiite regime, on the other hand, worked toward expelling the “great Satan” from the region. Iran is trying to provoke a US reaction to their proxies’ attacks in order to escalate the situation into a possible confrontation between the US China and Russia. This would conform with the messianic Iranian belief that an Armageddon of total war would usher in the coming of the “hidden” 12th imam.
The Iranian Ayatollahs have plunged their Palestinian-Sunni-Arab proxy in Gaza into a bloody mass that is ultimately back-firing on the barbaric Hamas killers. Israel cannot live side by side with such genocidal terrorists. Unfortunately, it is Palestinian civilians who are now paying the price for voting and supporting the Hamas terror group, which is causing their ruination.
The gruesome murder of 1,400 Israeli civilians in their homes, including the elderly, women, and children defies even Islamic beliefs. And, while Israel sought to bring prosperity and peace to Gaza, Hamas has given them the ultimate misery. Israel must eradicate the Hamas terror regime not only for the sake of Israeli citizens in southern Israel but also for the good of the Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
Iran’s march to hegemony left a trail of ruined countries and massive human corpses. Tehran's support for the murderous Assad regime in Syria is responsible for hundreds of thousands of Sunni-Muslim deaths and millions of refugees. In fact, more Arab Muslims died at the hands of the Ayatollahs and the Assad regime than in all the Arab-Israeli wars combined.
Sunni Arab states have long viewed Iran as a religious rival and a security threat. Iran’s Shiite-Muslim proxy, Hezbollah, transformed Lebanon from being at one time prosperous, into being poverty-stricken. Iran and its Iraqi proxies are creating in Iraq misery and unrest. In Yemen, Iran’s support for the Houthis created a momentous humanitarian disaster.
The only way to pacify the region is to cut off the octopus head, which is Iran. Both the US and Israel must realize that now is the time to deal militarily with Iran before it acquires a nuclear bomb. If the Ayatollah's regime is brought down, international terror would diminish and peace in the Middle East might have a chance.
