Iran Envoy Warns of 'All-Out War' if Hit for Saudi Oil Facility Attack (Worthy News) - Any attack on Iran by the U.S. or Saudi Arabia will spark an “all-out war,” Tehran’s top diplomat warned Thursday, raising the stakes as Washington and Riyadh weigh a response to a drone-and-missile strike on the kingdom’s oil industry that shook global energy markets. The comments by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif represented the starkest warning yet by Iran in a long summer of mysterious attacks and incidents following the collapse of Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, more than a year after President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from the accord. They appeared to be aimed directly at U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who while on a trip to the region earlier referred to Saturday’s attack in Saudi Arabia as an “act of war.” [ Source: Time (Read More...) ] Fair use for educational and discussion purposes Now go to Debka and today's post First Israeli-Saudi air force collaboration for demolishing Iran’s Abu Kamal complex The latest round of attacks on Iran’s military complex in Syria’s Abu Kamal region are a joint operation by the Israeli and Saudi air forces, DEBKAfile and Gulf military sources reported on Friday, Sept. 20. Their targets are the al Qods Brigades bases, command centers, missile and ammo stores which Iran has set up close to the Syrian-Iraqi border, as well as Iraqi Shiite militia and Lebanese Hizballah forces. An estimated 100 Iranian and militia combatants were reported killed in the joint operation and several hundred injured. Fair use for educational and discussion purposes Hmmm ... I wonder if this is all leading towards the fulfillment of Jeremiah 49:34-39 prophecy “breaking the bow of Elam” aka Iranian nuke facility? B-) Interesting in that Elam is where the missiles were fired from according to an article in Debka www.debka.com/exclusive-iran-shot-missiles-from-khuzestan-drones-from-w-iraq-at-saudi-oil-facilities/ Elam is: "Elam, Elamite Ḥaltami, Akkadian Elamtu, also called Susiana, ancient country in southwestern Iran approximately equivalent to the modern region of Khūzestān. " I don't see an all out war between Iran and US, nor between Iran and Saudi. The consequence is too high for all parties involved. Trump doesn't want to see US soldiers casualty before 2020 election. But for rapture sake, I hope Trump order an airstrike on Iranian facilities. This shall prompt retaliation from Iran by ordering their proxies Hezbollah, Hamas, and 100,000 Shiite militants to attack Israel, besides firing the missiles to US bases. This is the three shepherds war in Zechariah 11. God cuts off three shepherds in one month. Then bang, booms, God calls us home. Hallelujah!!! But I doubt this scenario will happen in near future. May be it shall happen in next year. Trump is putting the squeeze on Iran’s central bank ... :popcorn :popcorn Trump says going into Iran would be a “very easy decision” CBS News President Trump said going into Iran would be a "very easy" decision, but he's showing restraint. Mr. Trump made the comments during a news conference alongside Australian prime minister Scott Morrison Friday, after announcing new sanctions leveled against Iran. "We are by far the strongest military in the world," Mr. Trump said. "Going into Iran would be a very easy decision, as I've said before — would be very easy, the easiest thing. Most people thought I would go in within two seconds but plenty of time, plenty of time," the president said. "In the meantime, they have a lot of problems within Iran. Iran could be a great country, could be a rich country. But they are choosing to go a different way. There'll be a point at which they'll be very sorry for that choice. But I think I'm showing great restraint." Moments earlier, Mr. Trump and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin announced the U.S. is leveling sanctions at Iran's central bank and national development fund, after the recent Saudi oil facility attacks. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo earlier this week traveled to Saudi Arabia to address the situation. Earlier Friday, during a bilateral meeting with Morrison, the president said potential strikes against Iran were "all set to go," but he added he isn't looking to do that. "I could do it right here, in front of you. And that will be it." It's under these escalating tensions with Iran that new national security adviser Robert O'Brien became the president's top national security aide, and Mr. Trump recognized him during the press conference on Friday. The president praised O'Brien's hostage negotiation skills. Morrison is at the White House for a state visit Friday, which will culminate with a state dinner in the White House's Rose Garden. - Fair Use- This whole situation with Iran is like the Israeli elections to me. I have no idea what's going on or what's going to happen. I don't think we will go to war with Iran either. I think it will initially be directed at Israel and that's when we'll be gone. So many 'unprecedented' events up in the air.... It can only have God's fingerprints all over it. Everyday we're closer! I'm praying for those that are so buried in oppression that they can't see straight enough to choose Christ as their savior, that God lift the oppression long enough to make the playing field even to give them a chance to re-choose with a clear heart and mind. I pray this because it came to my mind that sometimes you end up in a bad place that you would not have chosen had you know the end game. Once you are there, you can't even see the light of day to see your way out because satan clouds your vision so. I have family that I see living in that blinded state. Yep, it looks like a confusing mess between who will be the next PM in Israel to the beat of the M.E. war drums getting louder. Its comforting knowing that the Lord is in total control and I believe He held back Bibi from forming a government back in April so that the peace deal couldn’t get announced immediately afterwards since the time wasn’t just right to do so. And now we see the same is happening again with the standoff of who will win the PM position with forming that coalition government party. Meanwhile the Lord is working behind the scenes and getting all the pieces and players lined up ... so when He calls His Church home ... it all unfolds rapidly. :whistle: Looks like trouble could heat up quickly at the Golan Heights region as well .... check out the headline news for today ... :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn Syrian army sends reinforcements to Israeli border https://www.jpost.com/printarticle.aspx?id=602446 Syria says it captured explosives-laden drone near Golan border https://www.timesofisrael.com/syria-says-it-captured-explosives-laded-drone-near-golan-border/ IDF says armed drone captured by Syria near Golan was Iranian, not Israeli - Fair Use- I believe that Israel will be in war before Iran. The threats of Iran seem like cold war tactics, at least for now, IMHO. Israel however is gearing up for war, it's just a matter of time. TR

Western military sources report that the “unidentified” UAVs sighted lately flying over Iranian concentrations in Syria belong to Saudi Arabia. One was shot down on Thursday. Those sources add that the US is providing air cover, as well as running intelligence, but not otherwise intervening in the first Saudi-Israel military collaboration ever to be revealed. It was part of President Donald Trump’s rationale when he decided to hold off from direct US military action in retaliation for Iran’s crippling missile-cum-drone assault on the Saudi oil procession plant at Abqaiq and the Kurais oilfield last Saturday. Trump appears to be waiting to see how the still ongoing Israeli-Saudi offensive against Iran turns out.
