The War in Iran

America attacking Iran with Israel is something a lot of people in America are not happy about, including myself. I think it’s reckless. Are America and Israel going to destroy Iran like Israel has destroyed Gaza?

Trump lied when he said no new wars, prices would come down, and he would bring people together when he was campaigning for president. None of those things happened. He refuses to help Ukraine, and I am not sure why. Trump decided to attack Iran, and I still don’t know why. First, he said Iran would have a nuclear weapon in two weeks, then he said it was for regime change, and then he said it was because he wanted to bring peace to the Middle East. I really don’t think he understands what he is doing.

From what I have heard, the US military is trying to make things really bad in order to make Jesus come back in the ” rapture.” They are trying to bring on Armageddon. And that is exactly what Evangelical extremists want. They want the rapture to happen. They think Jesus is going to come back three times not twice. They think he will come back and take all Christian’s up to heaven for three and a half years and let all other the people (including a lot of Christian’s) suffer. I used to believe that while I was an evangelical. While growing up catholic, being a practicing Catholic in my twenties and later on in life, the priests didn’t talk about it. And Lutheran church doesn’t talk about the rapture either. Jesus does not come to earth three times, only twice. First at birth, and then at the final judgement, but not in-between. That rapture wasn’t even thought up until the late 1800s by a woman in a protestant Christian cult in Scotland who had been in an insane asylum once. Charles Darby took the idea from her and was made famous from because of it.

I know Iran has done a lot of terrible things over the years, I am well aware of that. I just don’t want this war to turn into World War 3 or some never-ending war. It has had a ripple effect on neighboring countries of Iran and Iran is bombing them now and that is not good.

I just wish all the bombing would stop. People could die from hunger and thirst if this war doesn’t end. 100 million people who live near Iran are fed from the food that comes through the Strait of Hormuz. Israel bombed a desalination plant in Iran. Desalination is the process which turns salt in sea or ocean water into drinking water by taking the salt out of the water. And now trump is threatening to bomb more of those plants. The tankers that carry oil and natural gas are not getting through the strait of Hormuz. The strait of Hormuz supplies oil and natural gas to countries in Asia, and the people that live there are already starting to suffer.

Americans will suffer too. India is the world’s largest producer of generic drugs and India’s natural gas, and oil come from the strait of Hormuz. Which means that a fuel shortage would affect the electricity that is used to make generic drugs, which will affect Americans if there are generic drug shortages.

I want this war to stop.
