The nation of Iran is making friendly overtures to America as if the past 30 years of barracks bombings, embassy seizures and proxy wars against coalition forces have just gone away.
Apparently both proxy wars against Israel in Lebanon and Gaza respectfully have distracted the world from Iran’s nuclear program supposedly minimizing or eliminating the threat.
Of course, Saudi Arabia is looking closely at any positive exchanges between our nation and Iran since Iraq is a threat to the Bedouin Kingdom and will affect how the Saudis in turn treat the U.S.
The longer America’s soft approach to negotiation with the rogue nation the more likely Iran can seize control of Iran bringing about a direct confrontation between Iran and Israel which will draw other nations into the frenzy.
How ironic that 70 years after the failed attempts of Britain’s Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to pacify Adolph Hitler through appeasement, it is being attempted again but expecting different results.
The Scriptures have a multiplicity of warnings from the prophets to kings that make covenants with evil nations only to end in tragedy and disaster. Isaiah 28:15 states, Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.
Oh for our leaders to follow G-d when it comes to making alliances with other nations.
