Iran Strike

Post by harakim »

I'm surprised no one shared this yet.
https://www.usnews.com/news/world/artic ... escalation

An oil rig and an alleged drone factory exploded around the same time in Iran. This is pretty much what everyone has expected: Iran, Taiwan and Russia all engaged around the same time. It even sounds like the prophecy that we will waste our country's resources in foreign wars and everyone will say let's divide up the US.

Brother Jones' April prediction, while mostly unfulfilled is looking more and more like it could happen in an instant.

The USA has been jiggling with Iran for nearly fifty years, if not longer.

Since about August, 2022 Iranians have been protesting in earnest…
“Iran Uprising at a Glance – Day 138
Based partially on reporting by PMOI (MEK) Network in Iran
Tuesday, January 31, 2023 – 8 PM GMT + 1

The Count:
Days: 138
Protests: 282 cities
Fatalities: 750+ estimated deaths, 637 identified by MEK
Detentions: 30,000

Latest
Iran’s nationwide uprising marked its 138th day on Tuesday as people in cities across the country continued to protest the officials’ corrupt policies and incompetence in providing the nation’s basic necessities.”

My understanding is 7 cities were hit, 5 of which were:

“*an ammunition production facility in the central city of Isfahan;
*an oil refinery in Azarshahr, East Azerbaijan Province;

*in the city of Karaj, a satellite city of Tehran;
*in the city of Khoy, West Azerbaijan Province;
*Hamadan Airbase in the northwest of the country.

Iranian media speculate that the blasts were the result of attacks by the United States or Israel, but Tehran has offered no official information on who it suspects behind the attacks.”

Coincidentally (?), around the same time (Saturday)… “An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.9 on the Richter Scale struck northwest Iran, killing at least seven and injuring 440 people so far.” https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/world/ ... -29-843022

Praying for Iranians, and everyone to do good & be guided.
