Israel is known as one of the most economically successful, resilient and freedom-loving nations on Earth. Millions of tourists, pilgrims and believers of Judeo-Christian values flock to the country to experience the place where Jesus walked, to get spiritual clarity, and for mainly religious reasons, says the writer.

The Iranian ring of fire, consisting of the Houthis in Yemen, Hamas in Gaza and of course, Hezbollah from Beirut, Lebanon, have pretty much been crippled by very surgical Israeli air strikes and and a little bit of help from the Mossad, Israel's brilliant counterterrorism group. In a recent operation, the SANAA airport in Yemen has been bombed by the IDF Air Force in another show of strength from the mighty Jewish nation.

A ballistic missile fired by the Houthis recently made it through Israeli airspace and almost hit its Ben Gurion airport.

What strikes me as extremely arrogant from these tyranical Middle Eastern nations such as Lebanon and Iran, is how they just keep on attacking Israel, hoping that somehow they will defeat the tiny country, but every single time, they get taught a major lesson militarily by the IDF, yet, they just keep on going at it.

The radical Islamic ideology has gotten to a stage where even if these economies are completely wiped out and hurting, they simply will not stop attacking and harassing Israel. Israel is known as one of the most economically successful, resilient and freedom-loving nations on Earth.

Millions of tourists, pilgrims and believers of Judeo-Christian values flock to the country to experience the place where Jesus walked, to get spiritual clarity, and for mainly religious reasons. It is a Holy Land for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike.

The Dead Sea is also a major tourist attraction. With Iran and all of its proxies constantly attacking or attempting to attack this Holy land, the US, under President Trump, has had no other option but to start strategically positioning its ships and aircraft near Iran, ready to strike at any moment.

The concentration of the US military around the area signals an imminent attack on Iranian soil. Should the US, together with mighty Israel, begin an offensive strike on Iran's oil tankers and Nuclear facilities, it could very well lead to the total collapse of the Iranian economy and removal of the Iranian terror-regime, headed by Ayatolla Khamenei. 

Had it not been for the Chinese government buying oil via Iran's shadow fleet of tankers to avoid detection, one often wonders how pathetic their government would've been.

The entire free World is hoping for a total victory on Iranian soil when the US and Israel finally take out the Ayatolla's nuclear plant, and frees the people of Iran from its nefarious, evil regime. If ever there was a great time for the US to strike hard, it is now! May God have mercy on the people of Iran, as they deserve so much better!

Their regime has been oppressing them since 1979, and the number of conversions of Muslims to Christianity has been profound. Maybe 2025 will be the year where the entire balance of power in the Middle East will shift back to the people, and away from oppressive, merciless regimes who only seek to destroy Israel, terrorise peace-loving nations and suppress freedoms. We are in for a very exciting few weeks indeed!
