The question of this final age is not can Iran be stopped, but rather will we choose to do so?
The use of the U.S. acquired F-151’s by Israel in testing the capabilities of
the newly acquired Russian Defense Units by the Syrians, was not by chance. Israel had the destruction of Iranian missile facilities in mind when they acquired the F-151’s several years ago. It was only natural they would test that aircraft against the new Russian Defense Units. If you will read Archive Special Prophecy Update Number 160A, which follows the article by Zalman Shoval, you will discover the truth in what I have just stated concerning the F-151’s.

Can Iran Be Stopped?

A new pessimistic report jointly compiled by 16 American intelligence agencies noted that all efforts to halt or impede Iran’s nuclear development have failed, as have the measures to end the support Tehran is granting various terror organizations in the Middle East, including Hizbullah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Shiite terrorists in Iraq.
American intelligence agencies found that the economic measures the international community has adopted to coerce Iran to change its ways are futile.
Although Iranian banks found it temporarily difficult to conduct international transactions, it appears that they have overcome the hurdle.
The U.S. and its Western allies have announced plans to impose further sanctions on Iran via the Security Council within the coming weeks.
However, based on past experience and considering the new political line adopted by Russia, these sanctions are unlikely to have any effect.

SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 160A
February 23, 2004
Iran’s Hardliners Are Playing With Fire!
Israel has a lot on its plate at the moment – The three day hearing by the International Court of Justice at The Hague, the latest homicide bombing that took the lives of eight, and injured some fifty, the changing of the fence route in one area, and implementation of the disengagement plan. But if the Iranian hardliners sweep the elections, which seems likely, and if they choose to continue on their current path of producing a nuclear weapon, then a disaster could well await them when Israel’s problems decline to the point of having breathing room to pull it off.
From Our Archives: In Prophecy Update 141C,
I indicated that Israel was shifting its military focus from conventional to nuclear. In Prophecy Update 147E, I advised that Israel had issued its second warning to Iran concerning its nuclear program. Iran is now juggling with balls of fire, and would be well advised to believe they probably have received their final warning. Three years ago, in January and February of 2001, we put up the following Prophecy Updates, which are still in our Archives.
(1) Update 4 – A Brief History of Israel’s Nuclear Development.
(2) Update 5 – Israel’s War Contingency Evacuation Area
(3) Update 6 – Military Growth in Israel’s Negev
(4) Update 7 – One-third of Israel Flees into Israel’s Negev
(5) Update 8 – Vast Water Supply Under Israel’s Negev
(6) Update 9 – Fish, Fruits, and Vegetables in Israel’s Negev
Glancing over these six Updates in the Prophecy Archives at the top of this page, would help in the understanding of the remainder of Update 160A.
If Iran continues on its path of the development of a nuclear warhead
to place on the head of its Shihab-5 ICBM, then it may arise one morning, as did Iraq in 1981, and find it no longer has a nuclear complex. The Shihab series, is at times spelled Shahab because of changes in the cross language systems.
Iran has already built and tested the Shihab-3 and the Shihab-4 missiles. So they have missiles capable of reaching Israel, and Israel is acutely aware both these missiles can carry a nuclear warhead. I do not think that Iran would ever dare launch a nuclear warhead against Israel, but I can assure you that Israel does not share my certainty, and they are the ones sitting under the gun. Iran’s main nuclear complex is located 10 miles south of Bushehr, and is surrounded by many batteries of Iran’s U.S. made improved hawk missiles. Iran said recently that it is planning to sell nuclear fuel internationally, establishing itself as the only Islamic republic with sufficient technology to produce enriched uranium.
It is possible that an intercontinental ballistic missile, the Shihab-5, could be operational by 2005, which would place the U.S. in harm’s way if Iran should decide to launch against us. I can assure you that Iran is well aware that a nuclear launch against Israel would result in complete eradication of Iran as a country, so I have no worry of such an attack on Israel or the U.S. Iran is not run by madmen like Saddam Hussein, who would have launched such a weapon had he possessed it, but I doubt if Israel shares my confidence, and if Iran continues on its present path, I expect the same thing may happen to it as happened to Iraq on June 7, 1981.
The IAF went into unbelievable meticulous detail in their 1981 plan to destroy the Iraqi nuclear reactor. They had to fly undetected for almost 700 miles across Islamic territory, flying at very low level.
They selected their best pilots from what was probably the best group on earth. One of them was Col. Ilan Ramon, who perished in the space shuttle Columbia disaster last year. The IDF Commander briefed the pilots personally, telling them, “The alternative is our destruction.” The modified F-15 and F-16’s reached their target without advance warning of their approach reaching the reactor, and in less then two minutes the nuclear facilities of Saddam Hussein were obliterated.
Operation “Opera” had destroyed the dreams of a madman with eight F-16’s escorted by six F-15’s. If Iran does not cut back on its current activities to develop a nuclear weapon, the day may come when a hostile group of F-16I Sufa jets and modified F-15I’s, with special radar and terrain-mapping capability, plus other highly sophisticated navigational and guidance systems, flash down the runways of Nevatim and Ramon in Israel’s Negev, headed for Iran. The recent finding, by the United Nations nuclear watchdog of undeclared components compatible with enrichment centrifuge designs, has placed dark shadows on the truth of Iran’s cooperation with the agency. The discoveries by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of the UN are adding fuel to the fire for some sort of direct action to be taken against Iran. If Iran continues to play with fire, it is going to get burned. Israel’s preoccupation with its own internal security, the disengagement process, and world opinion, has caused it to let Iran continue its deadly gamble, but once these problems calm down, Iran had better fold, and throw in its hand. Iran has spread out the different elements in its large nuclear complex, but I assure you that the Israelis know where they are, and are fully capable of striking them all simultaneously if they choose to do so. The F-15 and F-16 jets of 1981, when compared with the F-15I and F-16I jets Israel has today, is like comparing a bicycle with a Ford Thunderbird.

Do I think the Israelis or the U.S. WILL attack the Iranian Nuclear facilities, and thereby start a last great war
? Well, they certainly CAN, but WILL they? I doubt it, but
I would love to be wrong, because I am of the opinion, from a military standpoint, it should be done.
