The Middle East Is Cranking Up! Part 2 :: By Keith Black

Published on: by RR10 Category:General Articles

The Mideast has been in a continued state of War since October 7, 2023. The Gaza war is basically still ongoing, and now the Iran War has started. It began on February 28 when Israel and the US bombed Iran’s leaders, including Ayatollah (Shia Muslim Pope) Ali Khamenei.

Trump turned the key to start the Mideast Engine of war.

Israel is the sparkplug, sparked by Iran’s refusal to stop its nuclear weapons program.

Iran is the crankshaft that turned the pistons.

Iran’s proxy terrorist groups are the moving pistons: Hezbollah in Lebanon attacks Israel, and Houthis in Yemen attack international shipping. (Also, Iran’s sleeper cell terrorist groups around the world will soon be activated to attack, especially in Western countries.  So now the Mideast Engine of War is up and running and threatens to go full blast. Arab nations are the gasoline.

Iran has launched drone and missile attacks on multiple Gulf countries, those that have US bases or are friendly to the US. It even attacked a British base in Cyprus, which is a European Union member country.

Iran has attacked refineries, too: the world’s largest oil refinery in Saudi Arabia, and the refinery in Qatar – “gas capital of the world.” Iran has attacked several ships in the Strait of Hormuz and threatened any that try to pass through, “effectively” closing the Strait. If refineries get destroyed, and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed for a long time, look for oil prices to go much higher. Could oil go to $500 or euros a barrel?

Israel has an alliance with two other countries, Greece and Cyprus, and in December, they strengthened their commitment and talked about the Turkish threat due to Erdogan. But Iran’s longest-range missiles can reach Israel, Egypt, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Serbia, Romania, Hungary, Poland, Chechnya, Slovakia, Ukraine, and some other Eastern European countries.

Now, the European countries of Britain, Germany, and France could be sucked into this war.

Russia is on the side of Iran, and many people around the world are worried about this turning into World War 3. I saw some articles about that online. One of the articles was titled “The Department of War Has Plunged the Entire Middle East into Turmoil, and Now Russia has Entered the Fray.”

So far, Russia has not actually entered the war but has harshly condemned the actions of the US and Israel, calling the attacks unprovoked.

Trump has made repeated good-faith efforts to negotiate with Iran to get it to end its nuclear weapons program, but Iran’s leaders hardened their hearts like Pharaoh of Egypt in the time of Moses. So Trump, the Lion of New York, finally lost patience with Iran’s leaders and roared, along with Israel and its Operation Roaring Lion. God is angry at Iran, and His judgment has started.

Another Hot Spot is Mexico. The Mexican Government’s killing of a major Drug Cartel Leader has threatened to plunge Mexico into a civil war. It has gotten so violent that international airlines cancelled flights to Mexico, leaving tourists stranded there.

The article I wrote after the Gaza War started needed a part two. The Gaza War was pretty much limited, but the Iran War is much bigger. It looks like this could lead to Ezekiel’s 38 & 39 War.

Behind America’s New Industrial Revolution
The U.S. economy grew faster than many predicted over the past year, outpacing other advanced economies, especially in Europe, where growth has nearly stalled. Analysts say President Donald Trump’s pro-growth policies, combined with a surge in investment in artificial intelligence, have further strengthened the country’s economic momentum. The United States is “at the doorstep of a new industrial revolution,” said Stoyan Panayotov, a financial adviser and founder of Babylon Wealth Management.

‘WATERSHED MOMENT’: Supreme Court Blocks Gender Secrecy Policies
“This is a watershed moment for parental rights in America,” Paul Jonna, special counsel at the Thomas More Society, said in a statement responding to the decision Monday. “The Supreme Court has told California and every state in the nation in no uncertain terms: you cannot secretly transition a child behind a parent’s back.”

Islamization of Texas: Dhimmi Houston Mayor Whitmire’s Iftar Grovel – Praises ‘Rich Islamic Culture’ Hours Before Jihadi Slaughters Infidels in Austin
While dhimmi Mayor John Whitmire groveled at Houston’s mega-Ramadan iftar, envying the ‘rich Islamic culture’ he’d missed in school, boasting of funneling city contracts to Muslim-only groups, and fantasizing about America living daily by Ramadan’s principles to replace hospitals and police, a ‘Property of Allah’-clad jihadi just hours later slaughtered infidels at an Austin bar during the same holy month, proving once again that submission invites supremacy, not unity.

Democrats’ Disgraceful Moral Equivalence on Iran 
Democrats have reached a new low in their reactionary opposition to President Donald Trump. Disagreeing with the ongoing American military operation against Iran is one thing – but drawing moral equivalence between the United States and the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism while lamenting the death of an evil dictator reveals a dangerous confusion about who our enemies are and what they represent.

Iran says it has not yet used its most advanced weaponry
Iran is ready for a long war against the United States and Israel and has so far not used its most advanced weapons, its defence ministry said Tuesday. The Israeli military also said it struck Iranian industrial sites used to produce ballistic missiles, while Iran retaliated by hitting industrial and diplomatic targets across the Middle East.

The crack is growing in the special relationship between the US and the UK
This is not Winston Churchill we are dealing with. The words are Donald Trump’s, about Keir Starmer, and were made during a press conference at the White House on Tuesday. The US President’s great dissatisfaction with the British Prime Minister comes after Starmer’s initial refusal to allow the US to use British air bases during the attacks on Iran. …It’s very sad that the relationship is clearly not what it was.

Update on Iranian Missile and Drone Attacks
Iran’s Missile Capability is Significantly Degraded. The US and Israel are focusing on destroying Iranian launchers (typically mobile TELs or Transporter, Erector, Launchers). I would expect much more attrition of launchers in the coming few days. On March 2, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Dan Caine announced that local air superiority had been established over Western Iran and Tehran. The IDF reported on March 2 that it has successfully targeted and neutralized over 200 Iranian air defense systems … the U.S. has begun utilizing B-1 Lancer heavy bombers for strikes. This indicates a high level of confidence that Iran’s long-range Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) systems are no longer a primary threat to non-stealth aircraft in certain corridors.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., is warning Democrats not to play politics with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) funding, particularly as the country is on high alert for any fallout from the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran. “Put the safety and security of the American people first and stop playing political games to appease the far-left base, especially at a time like this,” Scalise said in an interview with Fox News Digital.

From Haman to Tehran: the Purim pattern repeats
Over these two years, we have witnessed the collapse of every hostile state and every terrorist group surrounding the Jewish state. The Book of Esther is the only book in the Hebrew Bible in which God is never named. … Two thousand years later, it is impossible to ignore God’s hand once again in the fall of an evil Persian regime. The surprise air strikes by U.S. and Israeli forces that succeeded in killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei happened on the eve of Purim—the holiday celebrating Esther and Mordecai’s success in rescuing the Jewish people from a genocidal plot. The headlines acknowledging the death of the primary leaders in the Islamic Republic may not have mentioned God, but the timing has divine fingerprints all over it.

IAF strike enables hundreds of political prisoners to escape Iranian prison
On March 2, 2026, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) conducted targeted airstrikes on a prison facility in Iran holding political opponents, an action that reportedly resulted in the release of hundreds of detainees amid the escalating U.S.-Israeli military campaign against the Iranian regime. The strike occurred in the border region near Marivan, in Iran’s Kurdistan province, where Israeli and U.S. jets hit military and intelligence centers operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Following the attacks, prison authorities lost control, leading to the escape of all detainees as security collapsed and staff fled the area.

US-Israel War Effort Bolstered by Growing Support in Middle East, Europe as Iran Left Isolated
As Iran’s missile and drone attacks widen and prompt outrage, a loose coalition is forming of Middle Eastern and Western powers to act against Tehran, leaving the regime increasingly isolated as the US and Israel continue their military campaign. On Monday, several Israeli media outlets reported that Qatar launched strikes against Iran over the last 24 hours, following what officials described as a series of Iranian attacks targeting the country and the broader region.

Iran Loses Contact With Palestinian Terror Proxies Amid US-Israel Strikes
The Israeli-American offensive targeting Iran’s military and security apparatus has led to a loss of communications between the Iranian regime and its Palestinian terrorist proxies, according to a new report.

New Russian Air-Launched Cruise Missile Appears In Ukraine
Russia is using a new kind of air-launched cruise missile in its war in Ukraine, the Izdeliye 30, based on analysis of recovered wreckage. The new development further underscores the fact that Russia is running low on its stocks of ‘legacy’ air-launched cruise missiles and new production cannot meet its wartime demand. As a result, it is seeking to field weapons in this class that are cheaper to produce and better suited to the nature of the conflict.

Israel Says It Just Destroyed a Secret Nuclear Weapons Development Compound In Iran
The Shiite radicals that have been imposing tyranny on Iranian people for decades believe their version of Islam will rule the world, and they’ll do anything in pursuit of that goal.

Is Iran Bluffing About Using More Advanced Weapons and Opening “The Gates of Hell,” Or Are They Actually Telling the Truth?
If Iran is not bluffing, this war could be about to take a very apocalyptic turn.
