The Messiah is a weapon - overview

Iran,  or at least the Iranian government, had aspirations of again building a  Persian Empire. Those plans included the destruction of Israel and the  control or annexation of every country in Southwest Asia. As soon as  Iran had an atomic bomb, every country in the Middle East would be  subject to its wishes.

Once  again, Israel faced the possibility of annihilation. And, like in the  past, it stood alone against an unpredictable adversary. While the  United Nations and the superpowers of the world ignored the Iranian  threat, Iran continued to build its nuclear capabilities. Although it  insisted that its nuclear program was peaceful, Iran now had more than  300 nuclear-related facilities spread across the country. Some, like the  light water reactor in Bushehr, were in plain sight and served a  peaceful purpose. Others, such as the uranium enrichment plants, the  heavy water plant, and the heavy water reactor, hidden in the mountains  or deep beneath the desert or in caves, could only serve one purpose: to  develop nuclear weapons. Iran was making plans to conquer and, perhaps,  no one could stop them.
