Two days ago, I described Iran as a boiling pot, about to boil over, between the difficulty of dealing with the economic trials brought about by President Trump's sanctions, and the domestic rioting of their people, who are fed up with the ruling Mullahs continuing to fund various terror wars globally, while raising gasoline prices locally (by 50%) in order to pay for the wars!!! The economic pressure is so great that one should reasonably expect them to cave into it all, and come to the negotiating table, as President Trump intends, to negotiate an end to their funding terrorism, and their efforts to develop a nuclear missile system that they have vowed to use against Israel, first, and America second!!!
But, Iran's Mullahs can not bring themselves to knuckle under to American pressure, even when the domestic turmoil is great enough to threaten the existence of their regime! Now, it even extends to their neighbor, Iraq, which had welcomed their essential takeover, after the Desert Storm war, in which American forces took out the Saddam Hussein forces, leaving a power vacuum in a country filled with Shiite Muslims who held to virtually identical Muslim values as Iran held!
I don't know why the Iraqi people are rioting against their pro-Iranian government, perhaps the raising of gas prices extends to Iraq, as well. But, the bottom line is the increased pressure on Iran forces the Mullahs to realize they must do something to redirect the people's anger away from themselves, and that usually stimulates some external military action! This time, a drone attack against some western oil tanker, may not be enough to focus domestic attention away from local unrest!
But, as I've written before, Iran foolishly believes they have another option!!! The Bible clearly prophecied, in Ezekiel: 38, and 39, that Iran would begin the "Gog/Magog" Middle-East invasion at Russia's behest, attacking their hated foe, Israel, and I think this might be their way of deflecting domestic criticism, while fulfilling their desire to recreate the Persian Empire, which included the conquered state of Israel, thousands of years ago! I can't imagine them waiting much longer to begin this foolish invasion, that God has prophcied will seem to be a threat to Israel's existence, until God miraculously turns it into a rout of the invasion forces and a total victory for Israel!!!
Hold onto your hats, folks, for this whole thing could develop very quickly, and Iran will be very sorry they ever tried to bloody Israel's nose!!! They are really going to find out that they are "poking their finger in the 'apple of God's eye' "!!!
