Unraveling Israel-Iran Enigma
States may come and go but nations endure. In the Middle East, nations cling to the Abrahamic religions for survival. Turks, however, believe in a "state" as much as they believe in God.
Unraveling Israel-Iran enigma is not possible to discern. Jews and Persians are Abrahamic brethren. They have been at each other’s throat since God knows when.
However, in the last four hundred year, until WWI, they all lived in peace. The Ottoman Turks set them straight. Ever since, they are again bickering and fighting.
ABRAHAMIC BRETHREN
Abrahamic brethren are composed of people following Abrahamic religions. They are Christians, Jews, and Muslims. They all began the journey in the Middle East. Jerusalem is equally precious for all three.
Abrahamic nations reigned in the Middle East until the Turks arrived. In the Middle Ages, Ottoman Turks, effectively put an end to the Persian aspirations in the Middle East. By 1516, most Arabs were subjects to the Ottoman Sultans.
At the same time, Jews were being persecuted under Spanish Inquisition. The Ottomans ended their misery. They saved them. After that, they gave them prosperity. Like the rest of the Abrahamic nations, Jews also back-stabbed Turks by WWI.
In all, 50 of the 193 states that are members of the United Nations today made up the Ottoman Empire. 20 of them are Arab states. Remaining 28 are mostly from Europe and Africa, including southern Russia, Ukraine, entire Israel and Palestine.
Iran was the only exception. It was defeated, subjugated but not invaded by the Ottoman Empire.
Unraveling Israel-Iran Enigma
Israel recently killed a nemesis or two in the Middle East with strategic air strikes. Simultaneously, the president of Iran also got killed in a mysterious helicopter flight.
Iran, as a response to the strategic air strikes, fired long-range missiles, avenging murdered leaders. Each set of the two strikes came with about two hundred missiles.
Israel did not report any direct hit from these missiles.
Yet, satellites from third party sources showed a few days later that those missiles had exploded in Israel. What exactly is going on: What is this deception?
