Iran’s “Armageddon” Interpretation of the Arab Revolts

Iran’s “Armageddon” Interpretation of the Arab Revolts: "An Iranian website is soliciting militants for war, Al Arabiya has reported. The site, which is registered under the regime-licenced “ir” domain, urges recruits to carry out immediate suicide attacks on members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a multilateral military alliance led by Saudi Arabia and currently deployed to the US-allied state of Bahrain.

The website, which features numerous verses from the Quran calling for Jihad, or holy war, as well as photos and video of alleged GCC troops in combat, was approaching 2000 volunteers Thursday. The page claims those who sign–up will be notified by email of their assignments, which will include “martyrdom” attacks on foreign troops.

But the site also makes a number of ominous references to a “redeemer” whose hand, it declares, is responsible for the unprecedented revolts sweeping the Islamic world."
