A Very Spooky Announcement by Ahmadinejad of a Summer Middle East War!
July 20, 2007
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
The article from DEBKAfile, which follows our heading, leaves little to the imagination as to the future plans of Iran’s President Ahmadinejad regarding a Middle East war. For the last 40 years I have constantly maintained that when the Israeli generation, born in 1967, reached its 40th Birthday in 2007, a Major War would break out sometime shortly thereafter, while they were blowing out their candles. If Ahmadinejad believes what he said in the DEBKAfile article, then a major war could break out before this year ends. However, I am going to stick with my prediction of Major War not occurring across the entire Middle East until some point in time between 2008 and the end of 2012.
I believe the “war,” to which Ahmadinejad is referring, is the one I have written about for some time, which I said would occur in Lebanon before the final major Middle East war that drives Israel into the Negev Wilderness. I believe, as I have stated previously, that Syria, Hizbullah, and Iran are planning a war against Lebanon’s elected government. It would behoove them to control all of Lebanon, or at least the southern half of it, before they launched a major strike against Israel from the north. I don’t believe a major coordinated Islamic attack against Israel will be launched against Israel while a large c ontingency of American troops remain
on the eastern border of Syria and
the western border of Iran. I also believe the huge amount of ship and air power in
the waters of the Middle East is a major deterrent to such a war at this time. Also, it is worth considering that Iran has been frantically attempting to come up with an array of WMD warheads for their missiles, as a deterrent to stop Israel from using theirs in a Middle East war. I doubt if Iran will initiate a war against Israel without a deterrent array of WMD’s.
So the long and short of the previous two paragraphs is this – A local war is quite likely to begin between Hizbullah and the Lebanese Army this year or in 2008, as I have stated in previous Blogs. I believe Syria and Iran will lurk in the background, while supplying Hizbullah with all the necessary military hardwire to win such a conflict.
I believe Israel is likely to stay out of it on their side of the northern border, concentrating on their major problems with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and Islamic Jihad and Al-Aksa Martyr’s Brigades in the West Bank.
Hizbullah will eventually win control of Lebanon by the submission of the Lebanese Parliament, or the Parliament will be forced into northern Lebanon, where UN troops are likely to be called in to separate the two.
Hizbullah will once again be restocked with weapons, men, and supplies by Syria and Iran during a time of hudna along the northern border of Israel, after Lebanon is controlled by Hizbullah fanatics. Then, at some point in time prior to 2013, it is my guesstimate that the last war of the Gentiles will begin, finally terminating with the Battle of Armageddon some three and one-half years after it begins.

“This summer will see Muslim victories in the region and the defeat of our enemies!” – Ahmadinejad in Damascus
July 20, 2007, 1:25 AM (GMT+02:00)
The Iranian president trumpeted Iran’s intentions for t he Middle East w
hen he arrived in Damascus Thursday, July 19.
DEBKAfile’s Middle East sources reveal that behind the braggadocio, his conversation with Iran’s closest ally, Syrian president Bashar Assad, was acrimonious.
In fact, he warned Assad he had better stop signaling his willingness for peace talks with Israel because this behavior was hampering Iran’s plans for a war this summer.
Ahmadinejad reminded Assad that Tehran had spent almost a year on detailed preparations for a summer war and would not tolerate the Syrian ruler sabotaging this effort. Assad was reminded of his huge debt to the Islamic Republic. In the last few months alone, Iran put up hundreds of millions of dollars for Syria’s arms purchases from Russia; Syria gets its oil gratis and raw materials and finished goods at subsidized prices.
Assad replied that with all due respect and appreciation for his Iranian brother’s assistance, he is obliged to look after his country’s interests, while of course cherishing his friendship with Tehran. Ahmadinejad pointed out that the Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert’s condition for talks was the severance of Damascus’ ties with Tehran.
Far from pleasant too was the Iranian president’s conversation with Hizballah’s secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, who drove to the Syrian capital from Lebanon in a heavily secured convoy. Nasrallah, who lives in fear of any Israel attack, rarely leaves his bunker hideout. Ahmadinejad asked Tehran’s protégé to try and understand that his government was financially squeezed by its preparations for war and was therefore unable at the moment to remit the one million dollars promised to repair the war damage suffered by South Lebanon last year.
The Hizballah leader said that, while he fully understood Tehran’s difficulty, he too was weighed down by the heavy cost of his pledges to the inhabitants of southern Lebanon.
Ahmadinejad had an easier time with the heads of eight of
the nine Palestinian terrorist leaders hosted in the Syrian capital. With them he was upbeat.
Israel is a lot weaker than it pretends, he said, and a concerted struggle with Syria could easily bring down the Zionist state.
He recalled Hizballah’s “victory” last year as demonstrating that the Palestinians would be able to crush Israel without recourse to a large army. The coming months, he boasted, would see him marching into Israel shoulder to shoulder with the Palestinian brothers.
After meeting the group, the Iranian president held face to face interviews with each of the hard-line Palestinian leaders and heard their requests for armaments and funding.
Be fore flying home, he left a group of Revolutionary Guards al Qods Brigade officers with instructions
for the missions to be assigned to each of the Palestinian terror chiefs in the forthcoming summer war.
