(Day 626) Swords of Iron – “Iran Targets Us Airbases”

Chaim starts by saying that Iranian missiles have been fired at US military bases in Qatar and other countries in the region. He says that this is a major escalation and something that should never have happened.

However, Israel is nearing the point where all the goals of this air campaign have been accomplished and this is not the first time Israel has saved the civilized world from the threat ot nuclear weapons in the hands of jihadists. He also thanks the United States for launching a bombing attack on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, saying the US is the only country which could have done it. Naturally, condemnation has come from the usual suspects in Russia, China, Pakistan, etc. But Chaim says this was the only course of action Israel and the US could have taken after Iran played games in negotiations for years and was finally very close to the point where they could no longer be stopped.

Chaim adds that the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has picked a potential successor as he is hiding in his bunker. Chaim says his son is rumored to be even more extreme then him, but that’s a matter of speculation. Meanwhile, Israel has no desire to “occupy” Iran or have any kind of controlling interest there, we just want to survive and be left alone and to that end, the Air Force has hit the internal security appartus of the regime in order to try and give the opposition groups a chance to rise up and take their country back from the regime which hijacked it in 1979.

Of course, Iran hit Israel too, striking civilian apartment complexes and the power station in Ashdod, briefly interrupting the electricity supply to thousands of households.

But amidst all this, there’s a question about what happened to Iran’s stockpiles of highly enriched uranium. There is a satellite photograph of 16 trucks arriving at the Fordow nuclear facility on June 19th and many analysts believe those trucks might have removed the stockpiles at that time. But it’s impossible to know for sure.

In any case, Iran has learned that the world won’t put up with its apocalyptic dreams any longer and he compares it to the apocalyptic dreams and actions of ISIS.

He also says that Israelis are remaining on high alert, staying near bomb shelters. But Iran has to be on high alert too as the Israeli Air Force continues to destroy strategic targets and dominate the airspace above Iran.

Israelis, Chaim says, are not afraid of all the doom and gloom predictions made (many of them are just an attempt to sway public opinion in countries which have elections) because we believe we’re going to triumph over evil and darkness.

In this context, he quotes Psalms 76:1-3; In Judah God is known; His name is great in Israel. 

In Jerusalem also is His tabernacle, and His dwelling place in Zion. There He broke the arrows of the bow, the shield and sword of battle.
