TEL AVIV – As the standoff between Iran, the United States and their allies intensifies, the number of possibilities that lie ahead gradually shrinks. Some sort of a compromise seems inevitable down the road, but whether violence will precede it and who exactly will be left to negotiate remains a mystery.
Armed conflict, too, can take several forms, and these are not mutually exclusive. The preferred solution for the West is that the Iranian regime is overthrown from within; the threat of war also hangs, however, while the Islamic Republic maneuvers adeptly and guns for a regional reshuffle according to its own tastes.
In the past days and weeks, the two sides have been flexing their military muscles and issuing veiled threats. This week, Iran started a massive 10-day military exercise, code named “Great Prophet 6”. It tested a new radar system, new fortified underground missile silos, and ground-to-ground missiles that could reach all parts of the Middle East, alongside various other technological achievements.

What Iranians are up to for? Exercise code named as,”Great Prophet-6″
According to some analysts, the greatest danger is that Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad and a few other key Iranian officials ascribe to messianic beliefs that condition the coming of the Mahdi (Messiah in Shi’ite Islam) on “a huge proportion of the world’s population be[ing] annihilated in a great war”.[2] Nuclear weapons would seem chillingly well-suited to use as a tool to save the world in this scenario.
Even though the Sunni Muslims believe in the second coming of the Messiah and the Shiite Muslims stress the belief in the second coming of Mahdi, yet these beliefs stay in some repressed part of the brain and generally do not form any part of their daily lives or part of any long term strategic plan. So whatever are the Iranian secular plans in relation to USA and Israel may be coming of Mahdi may not realistically be a big part of it, except for a vague hope in difficult circumstances. My two cents!
TRUTH, JUSTICE AND PEACE.
The ture Islam.
May God give them wisdom to respect humanity.
