Iran Cannot Blame This Catastrophe on Israel

Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Iran is facing widespread protests from Tehran to Shiraz amid public dissatisfaction with the government’s focus on opposing the West over addressing domestic civic needs. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei blames the unrest on external interference by the US and Israel, but international law under the UN Charter and customary norms prohibits coercive intervention in another state’s internal affairs. Discussions around the Cyrus Accord, a proposed Israel-Iran agreement contingent on regime change, focus on mutual economic assistance without threatening Iran’s sovereign powers or involving military force. The Accord aims to address Iran’s water crisis, infrastructure, and technology needs in exchange for Iran ending its threats to Israel, decommissioning its nuclear program, and recognizing Israel diplomatically, a move Khamenei may oppose ideologically but cannot legally contest as coercive intervention.

Scripture: Proverbs 21:30-31
"There is no wisdom and no understanding and no counsel against the LORD. The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory belongs to the LORD."
Commentary:
People on the ground in Iran are frustrated by unmet needs while their leaders focus outward. Policy and protest feel tangled. Scripture points to a reality above human counsel: God alone ultimately determines the outcome of nations’ plans, no matter how carefully governments or protestors prepare. It’s not surprising to see accusations and shifting alliances, as Scripture describes such turbulence leading up to prophetic fulfillment. Events touching Israel, even indirectly, carry notable significance because Israel’s existence is tied to God’s revealed promises.
Prophetic Trend:
Regional unrest and shifting alignments reveal a pattern of instability that matches the prophetic contours Scripture describes for the nations around Israel.

Photo: Office of the Iranian Supreme Leader/WANA (West Asia News Agency)/Handout via REUTERS Iran spent decades waging a “full-scale war” on the West at the expense of the country’s most fundamental civic needs. Now public riots from Tehran to Shiraz are pushing the failed government to the brink of collapse. In response to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whose parliamentary minions chant “Death to America, death to Israel,” protesters shout “Death to the dictator.” Khamenei blames the civil rebellion on the US and Israel. But legally speaking, the Ayatollah cannot make that case. UN Charter Article 2, the international Friendly Relations Declaration of 1970, and customary international law instruct that a state may not “coercively intervene” in the affairs of another state. Scholars debate the precise meaning of coercive intervention. However, there is widespread agreement that a state may not threaten to use military force against another state without justification for such force or otherwise try to frustrate a state’s exercise of its legitimate sovereign powers. There are ...
