- The head of the Iranian regime is not the president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but rather the Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
- The Iranian regime, according to its 1989 constitution, is dedicated to jihad to spread the Ayatollah Khomeini’s revolution, to re-establish the Caliphate, and impose Islamic law (sharia) globally. These are precisely the same objectives pursued by terrorist groups like al-Qaeda, HAMAS, and Hezbollah—which may explain why they have all been linked together with Iran in operational relationships for so many decades.
- The primary mission of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) is to keep the regime in power. In an especially visible way since the popular uprising after the fraudulent 2009 presidential elections, the IRGC and its subordinate Bassij units have used sheer brutality and terror to suppress the democratic aspirations of the Iranian people.
- The Ayatollah Khomeini ordered the IRGC to acquire deliverable nuclear weapons in the mid-1980s. Every Iranian president—including those touted as ‘moderate’—has supported the acquisition of nuclear weapons, but the program has accelerated markedly under the last two presidents: Khatami and Ahmadinejad.
- By sheer numbers, Iran is the number two state killer of its own citizens in the world, second only to China, a country with 20 times the size of its population. Per capita, Iran may be the biggest killer.
- The Iranian regime has supported the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in a vocal way ever since the uprising began there in early 2011. The Muslim Brotherhood, a worldwide jihadist organization with a pervasive presence in the U.S. government, intelligence community, and society as a whole, has reached out to the Iranian regime in return and openly expressed interest in forging close ties with it. The Obama administration recently announced that it is expanding its long-standing ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
- Current president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad believes that the Shi’a messianic figure (the Mahdi, or Twelfth Imam), who allegedly disappeared down a well 1,000 years ago—is helping guide his government and manage world affairs. He has publicly expressed his belief that apocalyptic violence can hasten the return of this figure.
- In spite of sanctions, Iran is far from isolated. It is actively involved with many countries, diplomatically and economically, buying influence at a growing pace. This includes the viscerally anti-American regime of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and a growing list of other countries in America’s backyard of South and Central America. Iran also has been developing relations with countries like Eritrea, Sudan, Algeria, Afghanistan, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Qatar, and recently Israel’s neighbor Jordan.
- “Iran has methodically cultivated a network of sponsored terrorist surrogates capable of conducting effective plausibly deniable attacks against Israel and the United States.” This includes a network of terror proxies, such as Hezbollah, which has an extensive presence across Latin America, especially in Venezuela, and also in Mexico. Hezbollah operates at least a dozen cells within the U.S. as well.
- The Havlish case (Havlish et al vs Osama bin Laden, Iran, et al.), filed in New York in May 2011, presented compelling evidence that the Iranian regime provided direct and material assistance to al-Qaeda for the 9/11 attacks.

I think that you're very right with this article and also there are many other things that we don't know about this country and their religion. Cazare Poiana Brasov
There are many things different between this 2 religions and also between people's thinking and I think this is a bad thing. Cazare Praid
"Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing"? (Psalm 2;1) Egypt..Yemen..Tunisia..Libya..Qatar..Bahrain..Jordan..Lebanon..etc; are all in a rage...they plan "days of rage"..they are always in a rage..they wake up in a rage..WHY ??
"The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord, and against His anointed". (Israel and Jesus).(Psalm 2;2). WHY ?? What do they attempt to achieve??
"Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us".(laws of morality and justice). (Psalm 3;1)
What more can one possibly add to the Scriptures that describe in detail the why and how of their purpose. Islam demands total subjugation of the planet, and Israel (the small satan) has been blocking their way for 60 years. America (the big satan), has been helping them and also stand in their way. So far as wars go, it is Israel (+ God) 5- Arabs 0.
And no, they have not and will not learn (as a nation) because their god, allah, is satan himself. (Do you have a better explanation for a people who blow up their children and treat their women like dogs ?) He can be traced back to the Egyptian sun god Ra and from there back to the Babylonian god B'aal. Witness their 1,300 hundred year history of murder, mayhem and massacres.
The Good News is that many thousands of Arabs/Muslims are having visions and dreams and are accepting Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and praise God for that. But until Christ returns, the great majority will continue to follow their satanic god to their eternal doom.
As satan is the "father of lies", this "Religion of Peace", Islam, needs to be exposed for the fraud that it is. It isn't even a religion but more of a socio-economic, political mind-controlling cult/system and Iran's Mullah's are experts at deceiving just enough of the people to hold on to power.
But God has His answer well prepared and announced some 4,000 years ago..."From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs and mocks their feeble plans. Then he warns them in anger and terrifies them with his fury."On Zion, my sacred hill," he says, "I have installed my king." "I will announce," says the king, "what the Lord has declared. He said to me: "You are my son; today I have become your father. Ask, and I will give you all the nations; the whole earth will be yours. You will break them with an iron rod; you will shatter them in pieces like a clay pot.' " Now listen to this warning, you kings; learn this lesson, you rulers of the world: Serve the Lord with fear; tremble and bow down to him; or else his anger will be quickly aroused, and you will suddenly die. Happy are all who go to him for protection." (Psalm 4)
And now you know "the end of the story". Make sure that you are on the right side as all these things come down. Ask Jesus to make Himself real to you while there is time.
