The Middle East Is Cranking Up! Part 2 :: By Keith Black

The Mideast has been in a continued state of War since October 7, 2023. The Gaza war is basically still ongoing, and now the Iran War has started. It began on February 28 when Israel and the US bombed Iran’s leaders, including Ayatollah (Shia Muslim Pope) Ali Khamenei.

Trump turned the key to start the Mideast Engine of war.

Israel is the sparkplug, sparked by Iran’s refusal to stop its nuclear weapons program.

Iran is the crankshaft that turned the pistons.

Iran’s proxy terrorist groups are the moving pistons: Hezbollah in Lebanon attacks Israel, and Houthis in Yemen attack international shipping. (Also, Iran’s sleeper cell terrorist groups around the world will soon be activated to attack, especially in Western countries.  So now the Mideast Engine of War is up and running and threatens to go full blast. Arab nations are the gasoline.

Iran has launched drone and missile attacks on multiple Gulf countries, those that have US bases or are friendly to the US. It even attacked a British base in Cyprus, which is a European Union member country.

Iran has attacked refineries, too: the world’s largest oil refinery in Saudi Arabia, and the refinery in Qatar – “gas capital of the world.” Iran has attacked several ships in the Strait of Hormuz and threatened any that try to pass through, “effectively” closing the Strait. If refineries get destroyed, and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed for a long time, look for oil prices to go much higher. Could oil go to $500 or euros a barrel?

Israel has an alliance with two other countries, Greece and Cyprus, and in December, they strengthened their commitment and talked about the Turkish threat due to Erdogan. But Iran’s longest-range missiles can reach Israel, Egypt, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Serbia, Romania, Hungary, Poland, Chechnya, Slovakia, Ukraine, and some other Eastern European countries.

Now, the European countries of Britain, Germany, and France could be sucked into this war.

Russia is on the side of Iran, and many people around the world are worried about this turning into World War 3. I saw some articles about that online. One of the articles was titled “The Department of War Has Plunged the Entire Middle East into Turmoil, and Now Russia has Entered the Fray.”

So far, Russia has not actually entered the war but has harshly condemned the actions of the US and Israel, calling the attacks unprovoked.

Trump has made repeated good-faith efforts to negotiate with Iran to get it to end its nuclear weapons program, but Iran’s leaders hardened their hearts like Pharaoh of Egypt in the time of Moses. So Trump, the Lion of New York, finally lost patience with Iran’s leaders and roared, along with Israel and its Operation Roaring Lion. God is angry at Iran, and His judgment has started.

Another Hot Spot is Mexico. The Mexican Government’s killing of a major Drug Cartel Leader has threatened to plunge Mexico into a civil war. It has gotten so violent that international airlines cancelled flights to Mexico, leaving tourists stranded there.

The article I wrote after the Gaza War started needed a part two. The Gaza War was pretty much limited, but the Iran War is much bigger. It looks like this could lead to Ezekiel’s 38 & 39 War.
