Most of us don’t even know that its old name was Persia. Ask the name of its capital city and 80% would not have a clue.

It was for centuries the ruling power.

Most of us would not be able to name its leader.

We have however come to realise that it has been attacked by Israel, which has been threatened for years to be wiped of the face of the earth by Iran.

If Israel with or without the USA think they can defeat a country that has existed for thousands of years they need their head examined.

Just look at the countries it’s borders run up against.

It is the focal point of Shia Muslin. The fifth richest country in the world both in minerals, gas, oil, designated an enemy of Israel in 1979.

Iran is a nation with a deeper than deep sense of self. Shia Muslims emphasise martyrdom. Iran has a sense of purpose that goes beyond materialism. It has evolved without loosing its core cultural essence, providing a shelter against any outside capitalist influences.

This is not just a shield it’s an active force that enlists proxy forces, such as Hamas, and the Houthi’s

Iran will fight a war with cyber weapons, drones, and missiles. Its maritime borders alone control a vast amount of trade through the strait of Hormuz.

Unlike the Palestinians Iranians will not be starved into summisoon.

Through the years of sanctions it has learned to do without western support.

Israel thinks by destroying Irans nuclear program it will be safer in the future.

You only have to looks at the Ayatollah to see that this is a folly.

This war is going on define the century to come.

All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
