Apocalypse? It’s a Good Thing!

You say you don’t want a war with Iran? Well, you are too late! Iran has been at war with us since 1979.

A simple Google search reveals the following:

In 1979, Iranian students seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, holding 52 Americans hostage for 444 days.

In the 1980s, Iran began using proxies like Hezbollah to target Americans abroad. Notable attacks include:

April 1983: Suicide car bombing at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut killed 17 Americans.

October 1983: Truck bomb at the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut killed 241 U.S. service members, the deadliest attack on Marines since WWII.

1984–1985: Kidnappings and assassinations, including CIA station chief William Buckley, and the hijackings of U.S. citizens .

1990s: Iran-backed groups continued targeting Americans:

1996 Khobar Towers bombing: Truck bomb killed 19 U.S. Air Force personnel in Saudi Arabia; Iran was found directly responsible.

Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad attacks in Israel killed multiple Americans, including bus bombings in Jerusalem.

During the Iraq War (2003–2011), Iran armed and trained militias responsible for at least 603 U.S. troop deaths. In Afghanistan, Iran supplied weapons and safe havens to select Taliban factions, contributing to attacks on U.S. and NATO forces.

2020–Present: Iran attacked U.S. bases in Iraq, causing over 100 traumatic brain injuries.

2023–2025: Iranian-backed militias launched over 180 attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan, killing, and wounding multiple Americans.

So, here we are in 2026. Why did we finally fight back? Despite all these deaths and injuries, Trump, with Israel’s help, finally attacked Iran because it was about to become a nuclear power. Why was that the tipping point?

Iran was not interested in obtaining the status of empire to obtain domination, but rather damnation, as it pertains to the rest of the world!

A brief history and explanation are in order here. All the major wars we have been involved in had to do with aspirations by foreign powers for empire. That would include Japan and Germany in World War II. Russia and the Soviet empire that created the Iron Curtain and a decades long “Cold War”, the very same empire that Putin is trying to recreate via his attacks on Ukraine. And of course, China has a goal of world domination by the year 2049 and they are well on their way by virtue of their so called “belts and roads” initiative that has already laid the groundwork for their hegemonic aspirations.

So, what about Iran? Well, the mullahs in Iran are of the Shiite faith. Their radicalized interpretation of their religion aims at destroying all non-believers via a divine mandate to usher in a day of apocalypse.

Apocalypse?
