The Crisis is Deepening

The crisis triggered off by Iran’s nuclear programme is deepening, shortly before the UN ultimatum demanding Iran halt uranium enrichment expires. On April 28, UN nuclear watchdog head Mohamed ElBaradei will submit his report on Tehran’s nuclear programme before the permanent members of the UN Security Council. However, Tehran remains firm on its stance, defying the warnings issued by the international community. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei added Wednesday insult to injury anew, vowing that US interests worldwide will be struck if Iran is attacked.

"The Iranian nation will respond to any blow with double the intensity," argued Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Earlier, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had stated that his county would not give up on its legitimate and sacrosanct rights.

Only if the international bodies respect Iran’s rights and do not strip us of our rights, will we respect their resolution, the Iranian President has said.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had also stated that Tehran was ready to offer its nuclear know-how to all parties interested. The White House blasted Iran for pursuing the escalation of the crisis, underlining that it is about time the UN Security Council stepped in.


Washington is in favour of adopting a proposal that would increase US sanctions against Iran.

Washington wishes sanctions to be imposed under article 7 of the UN charter, which also foresees military action.

However, China and Russia keep opposing any military action against Iran and opt for a diplomatic solution.

And as tension is running high, Israel is to launch a spying satellite, aiming to record anything happening on Iran’s nuclear plants.

Well while that all may be true guys it is the hearald that the end is in fact near. Constant crisis in the middle East is the sign of the end times, so in effect whether or not they have nuclear power or not, the end is near. The signs have become more clear since the day my daughter was born 26- almost 27 years ago. The middle east was never as much of a hot spot. So the only thing one can do is make sure that when He does return, one is ready. Other than that there will be no peace, because we can never have peace. It is just the way of the world. I realize that we have awaited Christ's return since He ascended into heaven, but the delay has been for a reason. And so I don't live in fear, because I know where I'm going, and death is not punishment but moving on. But this comes from someone very sick. If you had to take care of someone with dementia for a while believe me, you would nuke anyone!!!!
