Israeli Strike On Iran More Likely After Elections Than Now:
Iran’s currency plunging due to sanctions
Posted: October 1, 2012
Could Israel soon launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear
facilities despite intense White House pressure not to? The scenario
portrayed in my novel,
The Tehran Initiative, could still happen soon. But in light of
Netanyahu’s speech to the U.N., it now seems the likelihood is very
low this month. That’s a significant change from a few weeks ago.
Israeli leaders now seem prepared to wait in part to see if Mr. Obama or
Mr. Romney wins on November 6th. Also, Jerusalem is watching Iran’s
crumbling economy.
The Jerusalem Post reports: “The Iranian rial plunged more than 13
percent in open-market trade on Monday to a new all-time low of about
33,500 per US dollar, traders and currency-tracking websites said,
meaning the currency has lost about a quarter of its value in the past
week.” Could international sanctions force political change in Tehran?
Unlikely, but possible. Let’s keep praying for peace, but preparing for
war. www.joshuafund.net
