UN: Iran still enriches, has uranium for 3 nukes
Iran’s president says Israel ‘can be removed from the world’
Iran to Stage Massive Air Defense Drills
The current world leaders are letting Iran do just about anything it wants. Israel is standing more and more alone, and faces more intense pressure from the world.
Even a year or two ago, I could not have imagined the following scripture being fulfilled. Israel’s allies were just too strong.
Ezekiel 38:13 – “Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?”
This passage, paraphrased, is the whole world standing back and asking (“talking”) what are your intentions, are you really going to attack a peaceful nation?
No one would have said that could have happened as late as 2008. How far we have slid in just under two years?
God is setting the world up to display His power and righteousness in defending His chosen people, Israel. It will be clear that no human power has saved Israel but only God.
Stay watchful, the stage is set and the pains intensifying.

UN: Iran still enriches, has uranium for 3 nukes
——————–
Hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Friday that the people of the Middle East are “capable of removing the Zionist regime from the world scene” in an annual Palestinian solidarity day address in Tehran.
“If the leaders of the region do not have the guts, then the people of the region are capable of removing the Zionist regime from the world scene,” he said as the crowd chanted “Death to America! Death to Israel!”
Ahmadinejad said that direct peace talks, which Western-backed Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas relaunched with Israel in Washington on Thursday after a 20-month hiatus, were “doomed” to fail.
“What do they want to negotiate about? Who are they representing? What are they going to talk about?” the Iranian president asked of the Palestinian leadership.
“Who gave them the right to sell piece of Palestinian land? The people of Palestine and the people of the region will not allow them to sell even an inch of Palestinian soil to the enemy.The negotiations are stillborn and doomed,” he added.
Iran is implacably opposed to the new peace talks and has given strong support to the Islamist Hamas movement which controls Gaza and which carried out two shooting attacks against Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank in the run-up to their relaunch that killed four and wounded two.

Iran to Stage Massive Air Defense Drills
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran plans to stage massive and countrywide air defense drills next month, a senior Iranian military commander announced.
Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Ahmad Miqani told FNA on Saturday that air defense wargames will be held in Mehr (September 22-October 22).
The commander noted that the air defense unit is scheduled to test-fire its latest anti-aircraft equipment.
Earlier, the Iranian defense minister said that Tehran plans to produce long-range air defense missiles without foreign aid.
“We build whatever we want inside the country… and the production of long-range air defense system in Iran is already on the agenda of the defense ministry,” Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi told reporters in a press conference in Tehran on August 17.
Vahidi further underlined Iran’s capabilities and potentials in developing and producing all types of military tools, weapons and equipment, and reiterated that Tehran will no more wait for the delivery of military products from abroad.
His remarks alluded to a contract on the delivery of Russia’s sophisticated anti-aircraft S-300 missile system to Iran. Moscow has long delayed implementation of the contract terms under different pretexts and it is yet to deliver the system to Tehran.
Tehran launched an arms development program during the 1980-88 Iraqi imposed war on Iran to compensate for a US weapons embargo. Since 1992, Iran has produced its own tanks, armored personnel carriers, missiles and fighter planes.
Yet, Iranian officials have always stressed that the country’s military and arms programs serve defensive purposes and should not be perceived as a threat to any other country.
In November 2009, Lieutenant Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base General Seyed Reza Taheri told FNA that Iran has successfully increased the speed and range of its air defense systems.
“The air defense systems’ operational speed and range have been promoted thanks to the attempts made by our country’s experts. We are witnessing a jump in this field when considering the previous models,” the Commander said at the time.
