Why Did Iran Start Attacking Arab Countries? - Jeremy Gimpel | Land of Israel Fellowship

What I didn't expect, and what I didn't have on my bingo card for 2026, is that Iran would launch attacks against so many other Arab countries surrounding Iran. I mean, the list is overwhelming. It's Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Azerbaijan. I mean, they've shot more missiles and drones onto the Arab countries than they've shot onto Israel. I mean, just to put things into perspective, to get the statistics, they fired at Israel 200 to 300 missiles and fewer than 100 drones. Iran has fired more than 500 missiles and 2,000 drones targeting the other countries around them. And it's like every country in the region. It's like unbelievable. And I'm pretty sure now most countries in the world are thanking their lucky stars that Iran doesn't have a nuclear bomb, because now everyone can see that they're a threat to the entire world. They're shooting everyone right now. And, you know, if they would have played the sympathy card, like Hamas does, "Oh, we wanted negotiations. We're victims. We only wanted nuclear power for electricity. You didn't understand us. We don't want war. America is oppressing us. Israel is occupying." I mean, I'm sure they would have received a lot of support, but instead, they attacked all of the countries around them, and now no one supports Iran. And Attila told me the funniest joke she heard. She heard like, you know, someone's in a bar fight and two people gang up on one guy. The last thing that that one guy should do is go around the bar and slap everyone else in the face having a drink. But, for some mysterious reason, that's exactly what Iran is doing. And what's kind of marvelous is you can actually see how the prophecy of the final war could potentially unfold. I mean, for this war, it's clearly a shadow, a prelude, a part of a process toward redemption, and the war of Gog and Magog is the most mysterious of all the prophecies in the Bible. But, it says that the enemies of Israel will turn on themselves and the armies that would attack Israel are somehow turned on themselves and we literally are seeing that happening right now. In Ezekiel chapter 38 verse 21, "And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains said the Lord God. Every man's sword shall be against his brother." And now we can see Qatar and Azerbaijan, who were allies with Iran against Israel, are now attacking each other in real time. I never understood how that could actually happen in today's world and we're watching a shadow of that prophecy happen right before our eyes.
