Israel Iran War Probable Autumn 2008

Israel Pushed To Attack Iran Before Autumn 2008
A Potential World War
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made it clear to Washington that Iran’s nuclear program must be stopped by "all possible means." Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz called war against Iran "unavoidable." Israel will (must) attack because it has no choice as "options are disappearing and sanctions have proven to be ineffective."
Likewise former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer wrote in the Israeli daily Haaretz that Bush and Olmert seem to be planning to "End Iran’s nuclear program by military means, rather than by diplomatic."

Further, sources reported that the Cheney circles in Washington have been putting tremendous pressure on Tel Aviv to strike Iran, and that Israel must use their nuclear weapons to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities before its too late.
To reinforce this Israeli pilots are now covertly training on state-of-the-art U.S. fighter jets at locations in the Nevada desert, in preparation for an Israeli bombing of Natanz and other Iranian sites.

Israel may attack Iran preemptively before August 22 due to suspicions of an attack from Iran on that date. Farid Ghadry, President of the Reform Party of Syria, asserts that the Supreme National Security Council of Iran has chosen August 22 "for a very precise reason". It is known in the Islamic calendar as the Night of the Sira’a and Miira’aj- the night Prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven from the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. That night is central to Islam’s claim to Jerusalem as an Islamic holy city.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could very well be planning another "illumination of the night sky over Jerusalem" by nuclear weapons this time, as indicated by his statement that "Israel has pushed the button of its own destruction" (by retaliating against Hizballah). Israel may concur with Farid Ghadry’s words and move to stop Iran before it is too late. If Israel does attack Iran, which could be any day now, Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Najjar said that "Iran’s reaction will be overwhelming." and Iran's oil minister warned Wednesday that an attack on his country would provoke an unimaginably fierce response. The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned that Tehran would respond to an attack by barraging Israel with missiles and seize control of key oil passageways. If Iran chokes off just the Strait of Hormuz it would stop 40% of oil exports.
President Bush has repeatedly said that a military strike on Tehran is possible and ABC News quoted an unnamed senior Pentagon official warning of an "increasing likelihood" that Israel will strike Iran's nuclear facilities before the end of the year.

Recent demonstrations of military power first by Israel and then in response by Iran July 8, 2008 indicate that "push" is probably about to become "shove". John Bolten, (25thUS ambassador to the UN) seems to concur that Israel is being left with no alternative but to act now- especially before Bush leaves office and Israel potentially loses the support of this administration or before Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert possibly loses office in September.
They can not, and will not, wait and take that chance or of Iran getting nuclear weapons. They have little choice and unfortunately (or fortunately) they still have the element of surprise.

The consequences of Israel attacking Iran are incalculable- nevertheless it seems imminently inevitable. The United States is not going to act therefore they must...and the war itself may not be as devastating as its effect. Even if Israel preemptively initiates the conflict, the US will lose most of their foreign oil as Arab nations are compelled to support Iran. China, Russian and N.Korea will more than likely take the opportunity to join the opposition as well.
The ramifications of our loss of oil could bring overnight catastrophe to this country. Not just due the loss of electrical power, communications, and mobility to employment, but even basic necessities for survival such as food shipments into urban areas. Cities might riot chain-reactively and the capital itself could fall before the national guard would even have time to react.

My point is this. Many People had sense and foresight even to build fallout shelters at the time of the Cuban Crises- thank God that was averted. However, the chemistry of this bomb could be far more devastating than an isolated nuclear attack and no one seems to have the sense or foresight to prepare.

Elements compelling Israel to attack Iran Now:

1) Before Bush leaves office or his administration might lose popular support for military action against Iran (and on behalf of Israel) partially due to Obama's increasing popularity and his hopes of a diplomatic solution.

2) Before Israel's Prime Minister Olmurt potentially loses a September election and a more moderate party delays Israel's attacking, (Something like what is going on in the United States).

3) If Iran doesn't have nuclear capabilities yet they may be stalling for just a little more time- even just "playing along" with such meetings as July 19 with U.S. Undersecretary of State William Burns, the EU's Mr. Solana and the P5+1.
(UN Former weapons inspector David Albright says that "Blueprints for a compact nuclear device, (small enough to fit on ballistic missiles already possessed by Iran and North Korea), were found on a computer in Switzerland two years ago. "These advanced nuclear weapons designs may have long ago been sold off to some of the most treacherous regimes in the world," (such as Iran). Albright says Iran and North Korea were known to be customers of the illicit nuclear information network. "They both faced struggles in building a nuclear warhead small enough to fit atop their ballistic missiles and these designs were for a warhead that would fit")

4) Iraq may be getting ready for a surprise preemptive attack on Israel August 22 in commemoration of the night Prophet Mohammed (allegedly) ascended to heaven from Jerusalem. That night is central to Islam’s claim to Jerusalem as an Islamic holy city.

5) The Iraq war seems under control now and Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called on the international community to target Iran as soon as the imminent conflict with Iraq was over. (July 31: The monthly U.S. toll in Iraq fell to its lowest point since the war began)

6) Israel is about to enter a new "Seven year Sabbatical Cycle" (Beginning Sept 29) and corresponding astronomical signs seem to indicate that significant events are likewise about to unfold relative to Israel and the world as well. (Unusual Lunar tetrad ends 9/28/15 (-)7 yrs tribulation= 9/28/08) See video below entitled: "Israel's Astronomical Correlations" Note: A rare total solar eclipse occurred Friday, Aug 1- the same date Israeli Prime Minister Olmurt resigned (Solar eclipses Bode bad for the nations but good for Israel)

7) Israel can not delay and take the chance of Iran having nuclear weapons as the result of doing so, and further it must appear to them that the US might keep hopes for a diplomatic solution until it is too late.

UPDATE: 7-25-08 (Post 7-19-08 Geneva Talks) CNN: "The danger remains in this high-stakes game of brinkmanship that either Israel or the Iranians could push the other too far". But the Bush Administration's sudden overture towards Iran, and moves towards engaging it diplomatically in search of a solution to the nuclear impasse, made it seem likely that Israel would follow Washington's lead rather than striking out on its own" However, since Primeminister Olmerts has annonunced his resignation (July 31) the possibilty for a diplomatic solution looks worse and war more probable.
Although talks on the 19th gave Iran at least another two week opportunity to cooperate, on Monday, 7-14-08, Israeli military adviser Amos Gilad said that Israel is preparing to attack Iran if diplomacy fails, (apparently regardless of US support). That statement came only a day after President Bush stated that he backs the Israeli plan for a strike on Iran. While the seeming shift to diplomacy in US policy 7-19 is a setback for Israel, they have been in this position before. Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has warned of a possible "October Surprise" for Iran- "A massive US bombing campaign of Iran", rigged by a "Gulf of Tonkin" type incident in order to "boost McCain's electoral chances if Obama maintains his lead in the opinion polls" It's anyone's guess anymore what Washington has up it's sleeve!
One more note, A majority of Congress has endorsed Resolution 362, which has been described as a “virtual war resolution” demanding Bush initiate a blockade to cut off any Iranian oil imports and to inspect all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran. I'm sure that will go over big in the area!..and the same Democratic House that denounced the rush to war on Iraq- is about to vote for Bush to essentially commit an act of war against Iran. (Hello?)

UPDATE 7-31-08 Item #2 above ("Elements compelling Israel to attack Iran Now") has partially occurred- Israel's Prime Minister Olmurt is most likely leaving office in September and Benjamin Netanyahu (See video below) a most favored candidate, is calling for public elections ASAP. Not only is Netanyahu more vehement against Iran than Olmurt, but Olmurt might even decide to "Prop up his tarnished legacy with a daring strike on Iran's nuclear program" while he still can. Olmurt's resignation is not only a detriment to the current peace endeavors but also adds more and new potential for the Israel-Iran war in or before autumn of this year.

UPDATE 8-1-08 Israel is demanding elections essentially- "NOW" based on Olmurt's resignation. A leading candidate, Shaul Mofaz, Israel's deputy prime minister and a former army commander, told Washington that Iran's acquisition of a nuclear weapon was "unacceptable" and that Israel will not chance letting a "Second Holocaust take place." (Or by counting on failing sanctions and diplomacy). Further, Israeli officials have indicated they believe the country has only a short window of opportunity in which to successfully attack Iran, and coupled with Mr Mofaz's military background the potential for a pre-emptive strike shortly is increasing.

UPDATE Saturday 8-2-08 Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz has warned that Iran is near a breakthrough in its nuclear program and accused Iran of simply trying to buy more time. Further, the deadline for Iran's response to the Geneva talks of July 19th expires this weekend and it sounds like Israel has about had it with Ahmadinejad's shell game.

Israel's Astronmical Correlations
For the complete video of Hebrew scholar Mark Biltz's Interview of Christ's return possibly THIS September 2008 based on correlations of Biblical prophesies, Jewish holidays and phenomenal coming astronomical events click below link:
Prophecy in the News
___________________________________________________________

Footnote: July 18 Benny Morris, Israeli scholar: “Israel will almost surely launch a conventional attack on Iran’s nuclear sites in the next four to seven months, But if the attack is not perfectly successful, “the Middle East will almost certainly face a nuclear war- either through a subsequent pre-emptive Israeli nuclear strike or a nuclear exchange shortly after Iran gets the bomb.” Further, Morris states, that “Every intelligence agency in the world believes the Iranian program is geared toward making nuclear weapons,” war-ready within the next one to four years. Sanctions “have so far led nowhere...” Morris sees Israel’s window of opportunity extending from Election Day until Inauguration Day.

What should we expect next if this happens?
