christmas surprise? New moon this weekend - will Israel or the U.S. / coalition strike Iran ?

This weekend is the new moon - the last before winter settles in over the middle east and prohibits aircraft strikes.  New moons are important for tactical reasons - no light so the aircraft are harder to see.

It looks like the U.S. is now agreement that there needs to be strikes in Iran to cripple its nuclear weapon production.  This weekend may be the very last opportunity due to weather and moon phase.

If you have not accepted Yeshua (Jesus) as your Messiah, time is running out before the tribulation begins. 

You can be sure if Iran is attacked, both Russia and China will take action and Damascus may end up being destroyed in the commotion (Isaiah 17:1)

Iran starts building a nuclear weapon: US and Israel tighten cooperation

Iran has embarked on "activities related to possible weaponization," said American sources Thursday, Dec. 22, thereby accounting for the dramatic reversal of the Obama administration's wait-and-see attitude on attacking Iran. The change  was articulated this week by US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint US Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey.

debkafile's Washington sources report that the Islamic Republic crossed the red line President Barack Obama had set for the United States, i.e., when Tehran begins using the technologies and fissile materials (enriched uranium) it has amassed for assembling a bomb or missile warheads.  This marks the moment that Iran goes nuclear and only a short time remains before it has an operational nuclear weapon.

Our military sources report that all these developments were covered in the short and epic conversation between President Barack Obama and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak at the Gaylord Hotel in Maryland on Dec. 16. It ended with accord on the US and Israeli responses to the new situation arising in Iran.

The White House has since accepted the Israeli assessment of Iran's nuclear bomb time table and endorses the conviction that unless Iran retreats from its decision to build a nuclear bomb and steps back from the process it set in train this month, the only option remaining will be a military strike to disable its nuclear program.
