Iran is flexing its muscle. The regime is on a dangerous trajectory toward securing greater regional power, thanks to the Biden administration and the very determined Iranian regime, which is now calling the shots.
Last week, International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi warned that “fragile measures to monitor Iran’s nuclear activity that were established by the U.N.’s atomic energy watchdog are becoming undone.” Iran was unmanageable for the IAEA to begin with. Iran long ago admitted to violating the deal, and has proceeded with efforts to make a nuclear bomb, despite international opprobrium. To further aid Iran, in June, the Biden administration agreed to lift over a thousand sanctions on Iran. Only last week, America was still waffling, as special envoy for Iran Robert Malley stated that America “was increasingly worried Tehran would keep delaying a return to talks”; talks that are useless.
So now, Iran is in a position of regional authority, and is advising its Arab neighbors that normalized relations with Israel to reverse their “sin.” These states now find themselves in a compromising position as they adjust to the region’s ever changing dynamics. The UAE is now in the process of normalizing relations with Turkey. And only three weeks ago, the UAE president’s diplomatic adviser, Anwar Gargash, announced that it was “time to manage long rivalries with Iran and Turkey through dialogue to avoid any new confrontations in the region as the Gulf state hones in on its economy post-COVID-19.”
“Iran’s Ayatollah urges reversal of progress in Arab-Israeli relations,” Jerusalem Post, October 25, 2021:
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Sunday that the Arab nations who have improved ties with Israel have “sinned” and must reverse course.
Four nations – the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan – agreed to normalize ties in 2020, as the “Abraham Accords” led to Israel’s first treaties with Arab nations since reaching an agreement with Jordan in 1994. Jordan and Egypt were the only Arab nations to have existing diplomatic ties with Israel before the 2020 agreements.
“Some governments have unfortunately made big errors and have sinned in normalizing [their relations] with the usurping and oppressive Zionist regime,” Khamenei said. “It is an act against Islamic unity, they must return from this path and make up for this big mistake.”
Iran has positioned itself as a strong defender of the Palestinian cause since Ayatollah Khameini took power in the midst of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. “If the unity of Muslims is achieved, the Palestinian question would definitely be resolved in the best fashion,” Khamenei said.
Tensions between Iran and Israel continue to escalate as the former builds out its nuclear program, which Israel accuses of being a nuclear weapons program designed to inflict as much harm as possible…
Walter Sieruk says
What Khamemi is pushing for is ,somewhat, of a reflection of vicious spite and hateful malice of the ancient enemies of Israel with their demonic goal of uniting together her for her destruction found in Psalm 83:15 of the Bible . Which reads” Do not keep silent, O God!
“Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!
2 For behold, Your enemies make a [a]tumult;
And those who hate You have [b]lifted up their head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
5 For they have consulted together with one [c]consent;
They [d]form a confederacy against You:” [N.K.J.V.]
Nevertheless, back then and also now ,God is for Israel and will not let her be destroyed. As Psalm 135:4 informs its reader “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure.”
As for that ,hoped for Islamic alliance against her or any other type of uniting against Israel, the Bible reads “Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished.” Proverbs 11:21.
Infidel says
Speaking of which, since there has been a coup in Sudan this week overthrowing the government that was the third country to sign an agreement w/ Israel, is there any indication that this new regime is gonna reverse course on that one?

Thanks for that information, Infidel. Sudan had vowed to not just sign an agreement with Israel, but also to treat Infidels better. This may be why the military launched a coup. I had hoped that things were getting a tiny bit better in one Muslim country–I should have known better.
Walter Sieruk says
This is a very appropriate time to reiterate the fact that according to the Bible all that land and even more belongs to the Jewish people by Divine Right, Including all o the West Bank, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 134:4.
In addition, the Jews also have historic rights to that land.First Kings 4:20,21,24,25. 8:55,56.
Futhermore , Psalm 135:4 reads “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure.” [N.K.J.V.]
No wonder so many Muslims have been known to burn Bibles .They don’t like the information that the Bible contains.

Iran: Khamenei pushes for Muslim Arab nations who normalized relations with Israel to reverse their ‘sin’
………..
Iran has always wanted to be the leader of the Muslim world–this emphasizing hatred of Jews is another bid for that.

Mr. Khamenei,
You’re running an Islamic apartheid regime, don’t you think about the day that will likely to come that your brutal apartheid completely destroyed and condemned forever? That day will come no matter how you try to delay it. You have no respect for humanity and free-will: your authorities horribly oppresses women on a daily basis, as recently seen in this Jihad Watch article:
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2021/10/iran-morality-police-use-dog-catching-pole-to-haul-unveiled-woman-into-van
This kind of brutal opression of women will not be accepted by whole humanity, and will denounce your government for this.
Hopefully your government will turn away from this kind of offensive ways -instead of constantly blaming Israel, which women have freedom and are free to dress- before it’s too late.
Sincerely
Shaman
