Iran holds 'largest military exercise in history', in bid to send 'message' - Roi Kais - http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4608014,00.html
'This is a message of peace to our friendly neighbors, but a show of force to our enemies,' Iranian general says.
Iran holds the "largest military exercise in its history," or at least that was what Hezbollah-affiliated Al Mayadan channel reported Thursday.
The exercise, dubbed Mohammad Rasoulallah (Mohammad, the Messenger of God) involved all branches of the Iranian military and will last for six days, spanning 2.2 million square kilometers, Iranian news television Press TV reported.
General Hashma Allah Malka said it was an "Important message of peace to our friendly neighbors, but also a show of force regarding our defense abilities which sends a message to our enemies."
As part of what Iranian media are calling a massive show of force, the army will maneuver from the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf all the way to the Gulf of Aden and even the parts of the Indian ocean. According to different reports, the Iranian Navy will be testing warships and submarines.
As part of the exercise, the Iranian will use the more most advanced technology. The first part of the exercise
Close to 13,000 personnel will take part in the drills, which will be the first time Iran has organized military maneuvers so far from its coastline.
The southeastern provinces of Hormozgan and Sistan-Baluchistan will also be included in the tests, with the Iranian army, air force, navy and Revolutionary Guards participating.
"One of the aims of these maneuvers is to increase our defensive capability... and to transfer this experience to young" personnel, army chief general Abdolrahim Moussavi told state television.
The drills will finish with a military parade on December 30.
Last week Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayari called on foreign forces in the region to "leave the area" in order to avoid incidents.
The maneuvers will pose "no danger to foreign forces in the Persian Gulf," he added, in an apparent reference to the US Fifth Fleet, which is stationed in Bahrain.
Iran's navy has boosted its international presence over the past few years, in particular to help guard commercial vessels in the Gulf of Aden from pirate
Iran Intensifies Threat to Destroy Israel
- Lonnie C. Mings - www.cfijerusalem.org
According to a MEMRI article, Iran's spiritual Leader Khamenei recently said, "Young people write to me begging, 'Let us go fight the Zionist regime!'" In a November 25, 2014 speech, Khamenei stressed the importance of the Palestine issue: "Do not let the issue of Palestine, Jerusalem, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque be forgotten... The Zionist regime intends to occupy Jerusalem, occupy the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and weaken the Palestinians as much as possible in light of the fact that they are ignored by the Islamic world, every member of the public, and the Islamic nations."
Khamenei also promised to arm the West Bank on his office's Facebook page: "We thank God that the Islamic Republic, its government, and its nation are united on this matter. Iran's government and our exalted Imam have said from the outset that our policy is support for Palestine and hostility toward the Zionist regime. This policy continues to this day; we have not deviated from this line for 35 years, and our nation stands with us with a strong will on this matter.
"The [Iranian] nation yearns to fight the Zionists, and the Islamic Republic has shown this... I have already said this, and this will indeed come to pass. The West Bank must arm itself like Gaza and be prepared for defense... The Zionist regime is much weaker than it once was." (Source: Facebook.com/www.Khamenei)
The truth is, in many ways Israel is stronger than she ever was, and Iran is not strong, because she is beset with currency problems similar to the financial problems of Russia.
On December 2, 2014, Khamenei's office launched an Instagram account (Instagram.com/ fightingthezionists) linked to Khamenei's official Instagram account (Instagram.com/ Khamenei_ir), encouraging users to upload photos and posters expressing their willingness to fight Israel. As of December 16, 2014, the account had 4,600 followers and featured 402 photos and posters. In other words, a kind of anti-Israel campaign is being waged via the popular app. This is just another aspect of the war that is being waged against Israel. It is, of course, destined to fail, as today's concluding Scripture makes clear.
Photos from the Instagram campaign show young men hold signs saying "The Iranian nation loves fighting Zionism" (Source: Instagram.com/fightingthezionists). The truth is, many young people both from Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East would not last five minutes if they were face to face with the Israeli army. Talk is cheap in the Middle East, but fortunately actual military results against Israel are hard to come by.
EU Strikes Hamas from Terror List
The EU once again showed its true colors by taking Hamas off the EU's terrorism blacklist on Wednesday, December 17. The only mitigating factor was the fact that Hamas' assets would remain frozen, according to the ruling of a European court. This is just another facet of the war being waged against Israel.
As one might expect, the move quickly drew Israeli condemnation and praise from the Gaza-based organization. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the EU to return the group to the terror list, saying Israel was "not satisfied with EU's explanations that taking Hamas off the terror list is a 'technical matter.'
"The burden of proof falls on the EU, and we expect it to permanently return Hamas to the list, so everyone will understand that it is an inseparable part of it - Hamas is a murderous terror organization that emphasizes in its charter that its goal is to destroy Israel," he said in a statement.
It is now a time in history when, all over the world, wrong is being called "right" and "right" is labeled wrong. When will the insanity stop? Probably not until the Messiah rules and reigns from Jerusalem...
"Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed....He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure: "Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion." Psalm 2:1-2;4-6
