Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
Iranian media was bragging about their nation’s fielding of a “massive” number of new long-range missile launchers. The weapons systems would be able to reach inside Israel and U.S. bases in the Middle East.
Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi told the state media that the new weapons would allow Iran to “crush the enemy” but did not name any particular country as their enemy.
The announcement comes after the United States Navy led drills in the Persian Gulf similar to exercises a year ago when Iran threatened to cut off oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Also, the U.S. has been working with European leaders to develop a “missile defense system” in the event of a rogue attack.
Israel is also asking the U.N. to ramp up pressure on Iran because of their nuclear program.
