Netanyahu’s Speech on Iran

Friends, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave perhaps the most important speech I’ve ever heard in the defense of Israel yesterday, at the AIPAC meeting. It’s not a very long speech, but it’s critical we all understand how to best help Israel, in light of President Obama’s weak and feigned support, and Obama’s call for patient understanding of why Iran must better explain why they need “peaceful” nuclear weapons. (Who is Obama kidding?) Please take time today, to watch this entirely:

Please watch Netanyahu’s speech at this youtube link and then let’s take action. We must FLOOD CONGRESS WITH PETITIONS TO DEFEND ISRAEL, right now. Please sign again if you haven’t in a while, by selecting here…

12 proofs Iran is planning to attack Israel (with Nukes if USA allows it.)

While liberals think Iran wants only ‘peaceful’ nuclear weapons, an excellent op-ed reminds us: “Ayatollah Khomeini, prior to his death, declared that the Jews deserved ‘divine retribution’ because they are the ’embodiment of filth.’ Making his intentions clear, he stated: ‘We do not worship Iran, we worship Allah. For patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land (Iran) burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.’ The Mutually Assured Destruction theory, which characterized Cold War deterrence, doesn’t work with a death cult regime.”

I rarely forward others’ emails as is. But the prayer alert below from Capitol Hill Prayer Partners gave so much information (12 prayers in 1 alert) about Iran’s current plans to destroy Israel with nuclear weapons, that I felt led by God to forward this, as is.

1. SENATE RESOLUTION WOULD RULE OUT CONTAINING NUCLEAR IRAN

A bipartisan group of senators–Bob Casey (D-Penn.), Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) and Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.)–are circulating a draft resolution that would rule out the United States adopting a strategy of containment should Iran acquire nuclear weapons. “The attached bi-partisan resolution will put the Senate on record . . . It “will send a clear message to Iran’s rulers that the United States is absolutely determined to stop them from getting nuclear weapons.”

The resolution comes after President Obama said Sunday that while the United States is prepared to take military action should that become necessary, he still hopes to resolve the Iran nuclear crisis through diplomacy and tough new economic sanctions on Iran that the United States and Europe have recently passed. “The only way over the long term we can be assured that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon is by getting them to understand that it’s not in their interest,” Obama told NBC’s Matt Lauer in an interview Sunday.

– Father, as these diplomatic efforts continue with Iran, help our leaders to consider the time factor. The longer we dialogue with Iran – they continue building their arsenal. Give a clear and direct plan of action in our dealings with Iran. Reveal hidden information that would help to solve this conflict.

– I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion. By me kings reign and rulers make laws that are just; by me princes govern, and all nobles who rule on earth. (Proverbs 8: 12,15-16)

2. IRAN-HAMAS SUMMIT RENEWS JOINT AIM TO ELIMINATE ISRAEL

Khamenei pledges Iranian support to Palestinian ‘resistance’ against Israel

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told Hamas’ Ismail Haniyeh that Iran would always stand by the Palestinian “resistance” against Israel and warned him against “compromisers.” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his part said it was Iran’s “duty” to stand by the Palestinians.

The hardline remarks come as Iran watches with concern attempts by Hamas to move closer to wealthy Gulf Arab states. Widened support for Hamas in the Arab world may come with demands that the Islamist movements moderate and not embarrass its new patrons. (AP) Read more.

3. IRAN TO UNVEIL “GREAT NUCLEAR ACHIEVEMENTS”

Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, says “great” nuclear achievements will be announced in the next few days. He did not give any details, but insisted that Iran would never halt its programme to enrich uranium, which can be used to make a nuclear warhead. Mr Ahmadinejad was speaking at a rally in Tehran as Iranians marked the 33rd anniversary of the Islamic revolution. He also promised that Iran would never yield to the West if it continued to use “the language of force and insult”. In a speech broadcast on state television, Mr Ahmadinejad told a large crowd in Tehran’s Azadi Square that “all needs of the Iranian nation” would be met by its nuclear scientists in the near future. “God willing, the world will witness the inauguration of great achievements in the nuclear sphere in a few days,” he added. Talks between Iran and six world powers – the US, UK, France, Germany, Russia and China – on the nuclear programme collapsed a year ago and show little sign of resuming, despite recent efforts to restart them by Turkey.

4. RUSSIA TO LASH ISRAEL FOR WAR RHETORIC AGAINST IRAN

Russia, China, Syria, Iran (New Axis) vs USA, Israel, England, France ( Allies forever)

The Russian foreign ministry rapped the Zionist regime for its war rhetoric against Iran, and cautioned that the approach will increase tensions and have dire consequences. On Wednesday, Mikhail Ulyanov, the head of Security and Disarmament Department at Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, denounced government’s hawkish rhetoric on Iran over its nuclear program and lashed out at Israel for inventing allegations that are raising the tension in the already tense Middle East. Russia warned such “fabrications” could encourage military solutions and could end up with catastrophic consequences.

The US and its close ally Israel have recently intensified their war rhetoric against Iran. The two arch enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran accuse Tehran government of seeking to build nuclear arsenal, while they have never presented any corroborative document to substantiate their allegations.

Iran vehemently denies the charges, insisting that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. The Tehran government points out that the country has always pursued a civilian path to provide power to the growing number of Iranian population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry. Iran has, in return, warned that it would target Israel and its worldwide interests in case it comes under attack by Tel Aviv in self-defense purposes.

Iran is challenging the US and Israel’s war calls on every turn, attempting to show their defence industry is more than capable to thwart any kind of military operation launched against Iran. Iran has warned that in case of an attack by either the US or Israel, it will target 32 American bases in the Middle East and close the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which is strategically and logistically a key point as an estimated 40 % of the world’s oil supply passes through the important waterway.

– Lord, as the nations of the world line up to support or to come against the nation of Iran, we ask that events would unfold now only in your perfect timing. World War III certainly seems to be on the horizon, but only You, Father God, know the timing, and the sequence of events that must occur for Scripture to be fulfilled. Our hearts cry out to You for the unsaved in the Middle East, that You would in Your sovereign grace, break through to the hearts of multitudes — who are now in the valley of decision — to come to know You as their Savior, Lord and Messiah. Come, Lord Jesus, come . . .in Your Name, amen.

– “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.” (Joel 3:14)

Diplomats stationed in Israel request gas masks, prepare contingency plans in case of missile attacks; envoys fear that thousands of dual-citizenship Israelis will seek evacuation Preparing for Iran strike? Foreign embassies in Israel have recently started to formulate contingency plans to evacuate their citizens from the Jewish State in case of a missile attack on Israel.

Senior officials in Jerusalem said that several diplomatic missions have shown great interest in preparing for various emergency situations, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Tuesday, [February 7]. In the framework of the preparations for possible fallout in case of an Israeli strike on Iran, foreign diplomats stationed in Israel requested that the Foreign Ministry equip them and their family members with gas masks.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry has provided foreign embassies in Israel with a list of public bomb shelters across the country, as well as an instructional pamphlet in English produced by the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] . . . (Ynetnews.com)

Plan to “Counter Iranophobia”

An Iranian destroyer and a supply ship docked at the Saudi Arabian port of Jeddah on Saturday, a stop on a mission described by the state-run FARS News Agency as showing-off “the power of the Islamic republic on the open seas and to confront Iranophobia.”

The Iranian naval commander was quoted as saying the mission would last up to 80 days but did not list any other ports the ships will be visiting. The high-profile visit belies the ongoing friction between Tehran and Riyadh. The Saudis are frequently portrayed as siding with the American-led opposition to Iran.

Iranian leadership was angered by the Saudi pledge to make up for any oil shortfalls caused by international sanctions on Iran. The US also accuses Tehran of being behind a 2011 plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States in Washington. (By The Media Line, February 6, 2012)

7. IRAN’S UN ENVOY: “I DON’T THINK ISRAEL WILL ATTACK”

“We hear some voices from the Israeli regime about attacking Iran, but I don’t think that is going to happen, because first of all, Iran is (strong enough) to defend itself,” said Tehran’s ambassador to the United Nations. Speaking to National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition” on Thursday [Feb 9], Mohammed Khazaee said, “The consequence (of an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities) would be devastating for them (Israel) and maybe for whoever helped them. So I do not believe that such a thing is going to happen. “Our strategy is not to initiate any strike against anybody. But if, God forbidden, someone wants to try any strike against Iran or Iranian nuclear facility or Iranian national interests and security, of course, (Iran) – like any other nation – will have the right to defend (itself),” he told NPR.

The ambassador denied any link between Israel’s threats and Tehran’s willingness to conduct negotiations over its nuclear program with the five permanent members of the Security Council and Germany.

In response to NPR’s question regarding a speech delivered by Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in which he referred to Israel as a cancerous tumor, Khazaee said, “Just to refresh the memory of your audiences, I believe that if they listened to the Israeli authorities, you will find out that almost every day they threat Iran [sic] for attacking Iran, bombing Iran and doing so. So they’re not in a position to talk about a civilized nation like Iran. “And also, you know, as long as the damage that we receive in the region from the Israelis – either nuclear program or killing people in Palestine and so on – they could be considered a cancer in the region,” he said. The UN envoy added that “war is not something that [Iran is] looking for. And any confrontation between Iran and other countries in the region would be harmful for everybody.” (Ynetnews) [Reported by: Bridges for Peace]

– Through all the words and discussions of countries and political regimes, pray that the leaders of Israel speak with wisdom and seek the guidance of the Lord before they act. Pray that Israel’s leadership will follow the path that God has for them and no other.

8. HEZBOLLAH CHIEF BOASTS OF IRAN MILITARY SUPPORT

Lebanon’s Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah on Tuesday acknowledged for the first time that his party was solely funded and equipped by Iran and denied allegations the group was involved in the drug trade or money laundering. “We have been receiving since 1982 all kinds of moral, political and material backing from the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Nasrallah boasted in a television address on the occasion of the anniversary of the birth of Mohammed. His statement marked the first time he has openly admitted the source of the military and financial backing for his party. (Agence France Press) Read more.

– This statement verifies what we have heard all along: that Iran is, indeed, arming Hezbollah at Israel’s northern border with Iran. Decree that all of these weapons, when launched, will misfire and be of no effect. Stand by Israel in prayer.

– “He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.” (Job 5:12)

Gunmen assassinated an army general in Damascus on Saturday in the first killing of a high ranking military officer in the Syrian capital since the uprising against President Bashar Assad’s regime began in March, the state-run news agency said.

The attack is a sign that violence in Syria is reaching the tightly controlled capital, which has been relatively quiet compared to other cities. Though there was no immediate claim of responsibility, it could also indicate that rebel soldiers who have risen up in numerous cities and towns are trying to step up action in Damascus.

Violence in other parts of the country left at least 11 people dead as regime troops pushed into rebel-held neighborhoods in the restive central city of Homs and shelled the mountain town of Zabadani, north of Damascus.

The U.N. estimates that 5,400 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising began in March. But that figure is from January, when the U.N. stopped counting because the chaos in the country has made it all but impossible to check the figures. Hundreds are reported to have been killed since.

10. SYRIA: IRAN’S ELITE QUDS FORCE “ADVISING ASSAD REGIME”

The head of Iran’s elite Quds force is reportedly visiting Syria to advise the regime on repressing protests and the armed resistance, as consternation grew in Western capitals on Thursday about Iranian and Russian meddling in the crisis. The Quds, or Jerusalem, brigade, is a special unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responsible for external relations that reports directly to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Western and Arab experts and diplomats estimate that the number of troops and advisers from the Quds force in Syria to be in the high hundreds or low thousands. They have set up at least one base in Zabadani near the capital Damascus.

Help includes riot control equipment and technical advice on “how to quash dissent and how to flood areas with security forces.” Iran is also said to be providing support to improve the regime’s intelligence gathering and monitoring of protesters’ use of the internet and mobile phone network, including text messaging.

Opposition fighters of the Free Syrian Army claim to have captured 29 Iranians during the uprising and last week posted a video of five captives with their passports. Reports in the Arab media have claimed that snipers from Iranian-backed Hizbollah forces have been brought in from Lebanon to support government forces fighting the FSA.

The rebels yesterday appealed for the United States to supply weapons, rocket launchers, body armour, night vision goggles and other equipment, but not boots on the ground. One spokesman stated: “The major point is logistical material support. We can do this ourselves, we’re not asking for any troops,” he said. (UK Daily Telegraph) Read more.

– Father, deploy an angelic army from heaven to surround the area in and around Damascus and render the enemy powerless. Bashar al-Assad has the spirit of Hazael as mentioned in II Kings 8:12. Elisha the prophet wept because God showed him Hazael was to be king and all the evil that he would do. And today the spirit of Hazael is over Syria and because of this insight, we declare in God this spirit will be destroyed by the power of the Word of God.

Speak destruction to that spirit, oh God, and command it to go back into the pit from whence it came. Send forth a mighty host of angels and drive out all the nations who are haphazardly dealing with Syria. Send forth Jesus, the redeemer, and save the souls of the Syrians by the power of the blood and Cross of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus.

– “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world: but that the world through Him might be saved.” (John 3:16-17)

11. U.S. BEGINS PLANS FOR MILITARY INTERVENTION IN SYRIA

Other Nations Withdraw Ambassadors from Damascus

Pentagon officials have said contingency planning for US military involvement in Syria had begun.

Leaders in the US, Britain and France have supported the creation of a “Friends of Syria” group that would coordinate applying diplomatic and economic pressure on Bashar al-Assad’s regimes outside the confines of the UN. Turkey, the most vocal regional critic of its neighbour, has proposed hosting a conference to build an “international platform” against Syria.

Britain and several other European states have temporarily withdrawn their ambassadors to Syria, while Germany yesterday expelled four members of the Syrian embassy in Berlin for spying on regime opponents. (UK Daily Telegraph) Read more.

Libya expelled Syria’s top envoy and his staff from the country to protest Damascus’ crackdown on dissent.

12. INTERNATIONAL “MILITARISATION” IN SYRIA GROWING CLOSER, WARNS U.S. OFFICIAL

The international community may be forced to ‘militarise’ the crisis in Syria unless president Bashar al-Assad stops the onsalught on his people, a senior US official warned on Wednesday.

The official from the State Department told The Daily Telegraph that while the White House wants to exhaust all its diplomatic options, the debate in Washington has shifted away from diplomacy and towards more robust action since Russia and China blocked a United Nations resolution condemning Syria.

The Pentagon’s Central Command has begun a preliminary internal review of US military capabilities in the region, which one senior official called a “scoping exercise” that would provide options for the president if and when they were requested.

The White House said it was talking to allies about holding a “Friends of Syria” meeting in the near future and was considering delivering humanitarian aid to affected areas in the country.

“We are, of course, looking at humanitarian assistance to the Syrian people, and we have for some time. We’re consulting with our international partners, and we anticipate this being one of the focuses of the discussions that we’ll have,” said Jay Carney, the White House press secretary. (UK Daily Telegraph) Read more.

– God, there is a patchwork of great deception here which creates mass confusion with no answers. Father, we ask that Your power surround the whole country of Syria and the people. God, set your eyes upon Bashar al-Assad and deal with his soul’s salvation. Bind the forces of evil moving through this man by the power of the blood of Jesus and hold him back from destroying all of Syria. Pull him down from his position and render him powerless and replace him with a man who will listen to the dictates of the Lord God of heaven and save the Syrian people before they are ravaged, killed and starve to death.

God is the answer for Syria. Salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ will redeem this people and this country. May the works of the Lord that has now commenced moving over them strike fear in the hearts of all the nations who are dawdling over finding a sound conclusion to help these people. Move mightily, Lord, and save all the Syrian people. In the Name of Jesus.

– “God sent His Word, and healed them and delivered them from their destructions. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.” (Psalm 107:20, 28, 29)
