The only reason that the Islamic Republic of Iran would be interested in actively intervening in a conflict faraway from its borders from a state that poses no threat to it is because the mullahs see the destruction of Israel as their Islamic responsibility.

“Islamic Jihad says late Iranian general Soleimani gave ‘direct orders’ in Gaza,” Times of Israel, January 22, 2021:
A senior figure in the terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad said the organization received “direct orders” from the late Iranian Quds force commander Qassem Soleimani up until his assassination in a US airstrike last year, and that rockets supplied by the Iranians were used to attack Israel.
Speaking during a December interview with the Iranian al-Alam TV, the secretary-general of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Ziyad al-Nakhaleh, said “nothing happened [in Gaza] without his direct orders and supervision,” according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
This came in addition to Soleimani’s efforts to supply the PIJ with modern missiles, and weapons, including those used to attack Israel’s economic and technological hub, Tel Aviv.
“It was almost miraculous. It was very expensive in terms of technology, security, and capabilities” al-Nakhaleh said, adding “I can say that the missiles that [Soleimani] delivered to the Gaza Strip were the ones used to attack Tel Aviv. I can say that Hajj Qassem played a pivotal role in the fact that the Palestinians ventured to attack the capital of the Zionist entity.”
The PIJ chief explained that Soleimani personally supervised and managed the transport of missiles in “complex operations” from Syria, to Sudan, to the Gaza Strip, adding that he personally visited Sudan to ensure the shipments were a success….
The local manufacturing of rockets in the Gaza Strip is also attributed to Soleimani’s guidance, according to al-Nakhaleh. “This is a great and important issue, and without a doubt played a role in strengthening the Palestinian resistance.” adding that, “[Soleimani] did not train [the Palestinians] himself, obviously, but he gave instructions to the experts who supervised these matters.”…

Islam is no religion of peace, as I write this I see there have been 38,491 Deadly attacks by Muslims since 9/11. It is time the world stood up to this and called islam what it is, a doctrine of TERROR, nothing else. Until islam either reforms or the world removes it from the planet, we will see what happens first!

Soleimani was a very dangerous and vicious man .It therefore was appropriate , fitting important and necessary that he was eliminated

This article is another reminder that this terrible conflict between the Judeo Christian West , which very much includes the United States with her ally the State of Israel ,opposing the Islamic East, which very much includes thar aggressive and hostile “mullah regime” of Iran with its stooge terror entity Palestinian Islamic Jihad is an awful struggle that also involves much violence and killing, as seen in ,for example those
murderous PIJ rocket attacks in Israel .
Nevertheless the forces of Islam will fail in the end because the violent and stealth jihadists ,as PIJ Hezbollah, Hamas and so forth. along with their supporter Islamic Iran because as explained and revealed on this specfic internet site,many times before., that the whole and entire foundation of Islam is based in the religious book called the Qu ‘ran, which been revealed and expose and a hoax.
Still the ayatollahs ,mullah, and imams of Iran along with the jihadists of PIJ. Hezbollah and Hamas simply don’t realize ,see or understand that that the Qu ‘ran is a hoax.
As the Bible informs its reader “None of the wicked will understand.” Daniel 12:10. [N.I.V.]

Robert Spencer hits an important point: Iran has no legitimate security interest in the destruction of Israel. The mullahs want to destroy Israel solely because Islam is bigoted towards Jews.
Islam is intrinsically and systemically anti-Semitic. That is not a valid reason to annihilate a country.
