[Putin
moves to boost ties with Tehran, sell missiles to Iran. Does this., and proposed Iran deal, mean war is actually “more likely”? Here’s the latest. By Joel Rosenberg Central Israel] "With U.S.-Israeli relations at arguably their lowest point in history, Russia’s ties with Iran are suddenly growing much closer.
Vladimir Putin on Monday “cleared the way for the delivery of sophisticated air defense systems to Iran,” and Iranian officials say the S-300 missile system could be “delivered his year.”
This raises the disturbing question of whether the near-term deployment of an advanced Russian air defense system around Iran’s most sensitive nuclear sites — combined with growing concerns by numerous experts that the nuclear deal set on the table by President Obama and the P5+1 will put Iran on the legal path to building nuclear weapons in the not-too-distant-future — could actually make war in the near term more likely, rather than less.
Is this the case? Let’s hope not.
None of us wants to see a war between Iran and Israel (or the U.S. and Iran) unless absolutely necessary and only as a last possible resort. I certainly don’t. Indeed, I wrote a trilogy of novels about an American President pressuring an Israeli Prime Minister not to launch a preemptive strike on Iran, only to have Israel do it any way, with grave and unexpected consequences (see The Twelfth Imam, The Tehran Initiative and Damascus Countdown).
Still, a number of experts in the region are suggesting war in the epicenter is suddenly becoming more likely. Consider the following articles:
•Washington Post op-ed (written by Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon): “Current Iran framework will make war more likely.”
•Time magazine column: “Obama’s Nuclear Deal Could Mean War.”
•Los Angeles Times: Israelis warn of increased risk of “horrific war.”
•Channel 7 news Israel: Israel Should ‘Seriously Consider’ Striking Iran, Expert Says
•CBN News: Egyptian Host to Israel: ‘Put Trust in God and Bomb Iran’
•New York Post: Why Obama’s Iran deal is a path to war
That said, I’m not worried. There’s reason for concern, but not fear. The negotiating process is still underway. Nothing final has been decided. And the God of the Bible remains sovereign and in control..." Full text: Putin moves to boost ties with Tehran, sell missiles to Iran.
