Iran Ramps Up Nuclear Program, Threatens Israel!

clipped from bible-prophecy-today.blogspot.com On the same day that Iran announced it would begin enriching its uranium stockpile, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei declared that not even the might of the West can save Israel now. Iranian media cited Khamenei as telling the head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement on Sunday that Israel's destruction is imminent according to the will of Allah, and that the support of America and certain European nations could do nothing to thwart the Jewish state's downfall. Also Sunday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ordered Iran's Atomic Energy Organization to begin enriching the nation's uranium stockpile to a level of 20 percent and to build an additional 10 uranium enrichment facilities. The looming threat is escalating the likelihood that Israel will be forced to intervene militarily to at least set back Iran's nuclear program, lest it face a very real existential threat.
