There was a second tanker attack that Israel has blamed on Iran for and Israel is ready for a military response:
Israel ‘Ready’ To Attack Iran In Response To Tanker Incidents
August 5, 2021
Two tanker attack incidents within the span of less than a week are now being blamed by the US, UK, and Israel on Iran. First there was last Thursday’s Mercer Street tanker drone attack which left two British and Romanian crew members dead, and then on Tuesday there was the hijacking on the Panama-flagged Asphalt Princess – boarded by a half dozen armed Iranian militants.
Since the Israeli-managed Mercer came under assault, Israeli leaders have been openly proposing military action to allies, saying it may be needed to stop the Iranian attacks. Israel says it has provided allies like the United States with “hard evidence” that Tehran was indeed behind the drone attack in the Arabian Sea. And now Israel’s defense chief says the country is prepared to strike in Iran in his latest comments.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz was asked directly in an interview published Thursday with YNet News whether Israel is prepared to launch a military attack on Iran, to which he replied simply with, “Yes”.
Gantz explained Israel’s military stands ready to engage in a “multi-front” conflict – likely a reference to Syria where it’s already conducting weekly airstrikes against “Iran-backed” groups allied with Assad. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/israel-ready-strike-iran-response-tanker-attacks.
We will see if Israel attacks, as well as whether or not the UK or USA, who said earlier this week that they planned to take action (see I365: Israel’s Defense Minister calls for retaliation against Iran: Washington calls for ‘joint response’), will.
Notice that Benny Gantz stated that Israel is already regularly taking military action against Syria (Assad is the president of Syria).
A regional conflict between Israel, Syria, and Iran is consistent with the following:
5 For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord God of hosts In the Valley of Vision — Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain. 6 Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen, And Kir uncovered the shield. 7 It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots, And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate. 8 He removed the protection of Judah. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest; 9 You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses you broke down To fortify the wall. (Isaiah 22:5-9)
Elam is a reference to at least some in Iran. Kir is a reference to at least some in Syria as well as perhaps some who refer to themselves as Palestinian.
In Isaiah 22: 8, “Judah” is a reference to those in the land commonly called Israel–God will allow Israel to be attacked! In Isaiah 22:9, consider that “the damage to the city of David” is a reference to at least part of Jerusalem (cf. 2 Kings 9:28)–and notice that the damage will be great.
While Israel may attack first or respond to an attack, understand that its famed ‘Iron Dome’ will NOT stop the coming great damage that will hit Jerusalem, when Isaiah 22 is fulfilled.
Would a damaged Israel strike back?
Undoubtedly.
Consider also the following:
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam,
The foremost of their might.
36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies
And before those who seek their life.
I will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;
‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 I will set My throne in Elam,
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord. (Jeremiah 49:34-38)
I have long believed that Iran is a threat that will one day be ‘neutralized,’ as I believe it will overplay its hand. Probably after thinking that Israel has overplayed its.
The prophecy in Jeremiah 49 would tend to support that.
And Syria? Notice the following related to its capital Damascus:
1 The burden against Damascus. “Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap. 2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks Which lie down, and no one will make them afraid. 3 The fortress also will cease from Ephraim, The kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Syria; They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” Says the Lord of hosts. (Isaiah 17:1-3)
23 Against Damascus. “Hamath and Arpad are shamed, For they have heard bad news. They are fainthearted; There is trouble on the sea; It cannot be quiet. 24 Damascus has grown feeble; She turns to flee, And fear has seized her. Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in labor. 25 Why is the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy? 26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord of hosts. 27 “I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, And it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.” (Jeremiah 49:23-27)
Damascus has been claimed to be the “oldest continuously inhabited city” in the world. And while some have questioned that claim, the reality is that Damascus has not been destroyed to the point of becoming the “ruinous heap” since God inspired Isaiah, thousands of years ago, to record that would one day happen. The destruction would be expected to come from some type of warfare–probably involving Israel.
Let me also state that it may take a major regional war for the coming temporal ‘peace deal’ of Daniel 9:27 to be ratified.
Iran, Syria, and Israel will one day be in a major regional war.
We may be in the early stages of the ride of the second horseman of the Apocalypse–that is the horseman that takes peace from the earth.
A regional war will come to the Middle East and it could be relatively soon.
