Iran’s military ran a set of missile tests yesterday. The tests of several long range missiles included one with a range that could strike Israel from Iran. Many suspect that the tests were a response to Israel’s military drills last week. A prominent United States diplomat also suspects an Israeli attack is comming.
Iran also threatened that any military attack by either the United States or Israel on Iranian nuclear sites will be met with heavy retaliation on Israel. They said that they will also attack United States warships located throughout the Persian Gulf.
Iran has also threatened to block the 21 mile wide opening of the Persian Gulf, which would block 20% of the world’s daily oil production.
Tensions are rising in the world’s roughest neighborhood, and Israel has to be prepared to be able to defend itself against Iranian missile attacks, air strikes, and possible ground troops from the Lebanon and Syrian boarders.
We may be witnessing events leading up to a major war between the Western world and the Muslim world. I pray that a major war can be avoided, but if one is needed to protect innocent Israelis from nuclear weapons, that is what must happen.
Do you think a war is comming? Do you support one? Do you think Israel is ready? Dare we say World War 3?
