The ancient empire of Babylon covered and area from present day Israel in the West, to Iran in the East. “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”-from Revelation 18 (supposedly King James Bible)
Here is the strange U.S. Department of State ‘press conference’ video from 01NOV2023, in which Blinken refuses to make any statement, or take questions from reporters:
Also today, Secretary of State Blinken left for Jordan and Israel for emergency meetings to discuss allowing hundreds of U.S. citizens in Gaza to leave (Israel controls the border crossings and has not been allowing foreigners to leave Gaza), a “humanitarian pause” (the new official phrase for cease fire) and peace deal, and the creation of a Palestinian State (among other things), in an effort to stop the war from spreading to other countries!
02NOV2023, Hamas militia Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (aka Qassam Brigades) units operating in Lebanon launches 12 rockets, hitting the northern Israeli Kiryat Shmona settlement! Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system failed to identify the rockets launched from Lebanon! An Israeli military barracks was bombed by drones! Israeli officials in the Kiryat Shmona settlement report they are under drone attack, residents ordered to remain in bomb shelters! Lebanon’s Hezbollah reports they have also begun attacks on Israeli military positions!
Israeli settlers in The West Bank are now rampaging, burning down Palestinian homes and business, and killing Palestinians! United Nations says at least 1-thousand West Bank Palestinians have been displaced, this is legally known as Ethnic Cleansing!

Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ air defense system is only 10% to 15% effective, according to Russian military analyst Yuri Knutov, the director of Museum of Air Defense Forces explained that “When there is an intense raid, the system chokes and does not have time to digest the number of rockets in the air.”

The Islamic Republic of Iran; predominantly Indo European/Aryan (Arya) ethnic groups.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; predominantly Semitic/Arab ethnic groups.
Iraq;predominantly Semitic/Arab ethnic groups, but also influential Indo European/Aryan (Arya) ethnic groups.
Al Jazeera (an Arab news outlet) reported that it was the Iranians who first went public with the China brokered peace deal:
Just over a week ago the main-stream ‘woke’ U.S. and Western news media almost ignored the peace deal between mortal enemies Iran and The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Was it because it was brokered by communist China, and actually challenges the influence of the West’s NATO in the Middle East? The Western main-stream-woke-news media glanced over the deal, and now is trying to downplay the deal by literally saying it doesn’t mean anything, as if it was a Chinese Paper Tiger.
Image via NATO, 20MAR2023.
If that is the case then why, just a few days ago, did NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg go out of his way to host the Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister/Minister of Foreign Affairs, at NATO headquarters in Belgium?
On 20MAR2023, ten days after the Iran-Saudi peace deal, NATO officials met with Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister/Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein. In the official NATO video you can hear that the meeting is totally about reinforcing, and “how we can further”, the Western-NATO presence in Iraq, under the guise of ‘fighting terrorism’, but also hear the Iraqi official state that he wants NATO to “expand” operations in Iraq:
You have to understand that Iraq views both Iran and KSA as mortal enemies, so this seems to me to be a direct reaction of both NATO and Iraq against the China brokered peace deal between Iran and KSA.
Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).
In the early 1970s Imperial Iran placed big orders for two tanks; the British Chieftain Marks 3 & 5, and the U.S. M60A1. In the mid-1970s Iran decided to buy an upgraded Mark 5 Chieftain, which became known as FV4030/2 Shir (Lion). By 1978, Iran had almost 1-thousand types of Chieftain tanks, but wanted even more improved versions.

As luck would have it, the British had been developing a new type of armor in a place called Chobham on Surrey Health, in Surrey, England. The new armor would be called Chobham.
Chobham armored ‘Chieftain’ prototype, June 1976.
In June 1976, the United Kingdom’s Secretary of Defence ordered the Royal Ordinance Factory (ROF) to upgrade the current production of Chieftains for Iran (becoming known as Mark-1-Shir/Shir-1) to the new Chobham armored Mark-2-Shir/Shir-2. The U.K.’s The British Army (known officially since 1707, after the supposed union of Scotland and England) was not concerned about their own Chieftains’ lack of armor protection, because they were focused on a new tank project called MBT-80. The Iranians placed an order for 1-thousand-225 Shir-2s!

The new ‘Chieftain’ was created, FV4030/3, given the Farsi name Shir-2 (Lion-2).
Shir 2, 1978. U.K. Ministry of Defence-Crown photo.
Production of Shir-2 was to commence in 1979/80, however, something called The ’79 Revolution took place in Iran, and as a result the new Iranian government cancelled the order for Shir-2, and anyway, both the United States and United Kingdom halted weapons sales to Iran. It should be noted that during the 1980’s Iran-Iraq War, Iran discovered that the Chieftains and Lion-1s could not handle prolonged combat in desert environments.

CHALLENGER:
What was ROF to do with all those Lion-2s it was building for Iran? Luckily, the U.K. government was aware that the old Chieftain was far behind other new NATO tanks such as the U.S. M1 Abrams and German Leo-2, the MBT-80 project was having too many problems and was canceled, so they decided to spend the taxpayer’s pounds (at a cost in USD of 1.5-million in 1987 money) on the already in production Lion-2, but changed the name to FV4030/4 Challenger (keeping in the British tradition of naming their battle tanks with words that start with the letter C). With some internal changes from the Shir-2, the Challenger entered service in 1983.

CHALLENGER-2:
Already in 1986, Vickers Defence Systems (eventually taken over by BAE Systems) began work on a better Challenger, due to its lack of performance against the M1 Abrams and Leo-2. Production began in 1993. In 1994, the first production Challenger-2 failed to pass the acceptance trials, changes had to be made on the production, but the tank finally entered service in 1998. FV4034 Challenger-2 is an improved version of Challenger, with a newly designed turret and the 120mm L30A1 rifled-bore main-gun. 97% of the tank is new and almost none of the parts can interchange with the old Challenger.
