This is likely true, and many in the West would love to see it happen.
“The most obstinate enemy of the believers are the Jews and the polytheists.” That’s Qur’an 5:82.
Aali says that Khomeini “knew that Israel has to be annihilated for [the Hidden Imam] to appear.” The Hidden Imam, the savior figure in Shi’ite eschatology, will appear at a time of unprecedented persecution of the Muslims. Some have suggested that nuking Israel could hasten his return, as the retaliatory strike will constitute that unprecedented persecution.
“Iranian Religious Scholar Masoud Aali: If We Conquer Israel, We Will Be Able To Conquer The West,” MEMRI, October 24, 2024:
On October 24, 2024, Iranian religious scholar Masoud Aali stated in a speech aired on IRINN TV (Iran) that the Jews and the polytheists are the “most obstinate enemies” of the believers. He claimed that they view only Jews as humans, regarding others as slaves. Aali argued that Zionism has exported this Jewish philosophy worldwide and that conquering Israel is key to overcoming the West, and this is the reason for Western support of Israel. He said that Khomeini viewed the destruction of Israel as a religious idea and strategy. This speech was delivered at a memorial for martyrs of the resistance in Semnan.
Masoud Aali: “The most obstinate enemy of the believers are the Jews and the polytheists. [The Quran] mentions the Jews first. The racist Jewish nation considers only themselves to be humans, and see everybody else their slaves.
[…]
“Today, the racist Jews have exported their philosophy via Zionism to the world.
[…]
“Israel is not an ordinary country or government. It is the fortress of Khaybar for the West. If you manage to conquer it, you can conquer the West. Israel is the executive arm of Western hegemony. If you cut off this arm, Western hegemony will collapse. This is why [the Westerners] are standing behind [Israel] with tooth and nail.
[…]
“From the beginning of the Revolution, our Imam [Khomeini] presented the destruction of Israel as a religious idea and strategy, and not as a political idea.
[…]
“He knew that Israel has to be annihilated for [the Hidden Imam] to appear. He knew that the Western hegemony was meant to collapse. He knew that the West is the backbone of Israel. If this arm [Israel] is cut off, the West will be shaken.”
JS says
What would be better is to cut these bigots from all Western nations. That’s a plan!
Mike says
That’s an excellent plan! And moreover, find a lawful way to prosecute, massively fine and imprison the “useful idiot” politicians who promote open-door policies to bring them in!
JimJFox says
Iran has zero chance of defeating Israel as recent events have shown. The average Jewish intellect is vastly superior to the average Islamic one which struggles to reach double figures in my opinion.
Richard Dawkins made the humorous comment that Western scholars were required to read more than ONE book to be taken seriously…
Yes, belief in the Koran is useful in stunting intellectual development and Iranian leadership is indeed stunted!
Mike says
Jim: the average IQ of Muslim-majority nations is in theclow 80 point range (that is, between 80 to 84 points).
Turkey has a 90 pointvacerage, but it may have decreased due to Erdogan and his policies.
Malaysia has a 92-point average, but it also has a non-Muslim community of some 35 percent, made up of various religious and ethnic groups.
On average, Jews score between 103 and 106 points, and Ashkenazi Jews have average scores of 115 points, with some even going much higher than that.
I understand that the average in Israel is 97 points or so, but Israel also has a non-Jewish population of nearly 23 percent.
Mostly Arab Muslim, but also Arab Christian, Druze, Samaritan and other non-Jewish groups.

True, Jim and Mike.

Islamic scholar on Israel: ‘If you manage to conquer it, you can conquer the West’
…………………………………………………………
With the exception of the “Hidden Imam”–which is purely a Shia thing–most pious Muslims basically think like this. But Israel–the only democratic nation in the Middle East–has been handing Hamas, Hezb’allah, and Iran their *sses.
Walter Sieruk says
Those words of that Muslim scholar of Islam does fit in with the Islamic prophecy when he mentioned the “Hidden Imam” who would be who they call “the right gulded one” meaning the Mahdi who would, according to the Muslim scheme would first lead to armies of Islam to conquer and destroy Israel and then take over the Southern held of Spain , because both those lands ,for a time, had been been “owned ” b Islamic governments . After all this is done those lands and other Muslims lands would be a base for the Muslim conquest for and of the entire West.
Nevertheless, God will not allow this to go that far ,as to allow Israel to be conquered and destroyed by military forces of Islam. For this will then be the final war known as “The Battle of Armageddon” in which Jesus will come ,just in time to save Israel and destroy the agressive and hostile jihad war armies of Islam, the all of that demonic religion of Islam will also be no more in existence.
Walter Sieruk says
That future coalition of Jihadist armies in the Islamic goal of uniting together to attack and destroy the Jewish State of Israel , heading by the Mahdi, is flatted to be doomed in the worst possible way.
About that future major jihad attack, it was explained, “All of this is aimed at annihilating Israel once and for all. Bur God intervene and spares Israel while slaughtering their Muslim enemies on the mountains of Israel. God does in a flash what the nations of the world had been unable to do. Islam is destroyed!” [1]

I think that jihadists will conquer the West – namely Europe – before they can conquer either Israel or the US. Not too sure about Canada
Bob says
Trudeau would welcome them as saviors and encourage his people to submit to satan, I mean allah.
Vivienne Leijonhufvud says
Simply can’t take Muhammadism seriously apart from the fact that Europe is stupid enough to take in boat loads of young fighting men to destroy Europe from within. When on earth is the world going to wake up. To end China deals with Islamic nutters in my opinion the right way – devrainwash them of the mumbo jumbo made up by a seriously disturbed man intoxicated by volcanic gases!!!Sure most of us are familiar with the Oracle of Delphi?!
Skeptiker says
Hätten die Muslime eine Aufklärung durchgemacht und somit den Anschluss an eine fortschrittliche, zivilisierte Welt gefunden, würden solche muslimischen Prediger mit ihren Wahnvorstellungen in der Psychiatrie behandelt werden.
Warum toleriert der Westen solche gefährlichen Sektenführer und ihre Anhänger auf seinem Territorium?
OLD GUY says
If American WOMEN want to keep their freedom in the future they better vote for closed borders and anti sharia candidates.
Walter Sieruk says
The jihadists who belong to the different terror Islamic terror /murder organizations may well be scheming for the conquering Israel and destroying her, and then all nations for a worldwide dominance of Islam with its Sharia.
Such an military Islamic alliance to destroy the Jewish State of Israel would be completely unsuccessful.
As the Bible in Proverbs, 10:28 reads, “The hope of the righteous will be gladness, but the expectation of the wicked will perish.” [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, all the Muslims who are jihadists of all those Islamic terror entities joining the forces to take over the world for Islam will not only fail in that Islamic goal but they not get away with their united actions and schemes with impunity.
For the Bible informs its reader “Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished.” Proverbs 11:21.
Walter Sieruk says
Iran is so very hostile and vicious that it always supplies it’s proxy jihad entities Hamas , Hezbollah , and the Houthis with deadly weapons so that those tools of Iran, those jihad terror/murder groups to engage in Muslims terrorists attacks in the State of Israel , murdering her citizens.
Those jihadists of those Islamic terror /murder organizations are useful idiots and deadly stooges of that “mullah regime” of Iran.
Furthermore, as for Iran having nuclear capabilities, those despots of that Islamic tyranny of Iran with their irrational and far-fetched doctrine of Islam in a coming “hidden imam” or “grand Imam” and leader who they call the “Mahdi,” they believe that he will conquer the entire world for Islam. This, they believe, he will do with superior strength .in which nuclear weapons and other death inflecting may play a part , those Muslim tyrants of Iran believe , in the Mahdi’s aspiration to conquer the whole world for Islam. Therefore the desire of those Muslims dictators of Iran to obtain nuclear capabilities fits in with their belief in a coming Mahdi who will annihilate all “disbelievers” , people who aren’t Muslims from the world and then have the entire earth under the power and control of Islam with it’s Sharia.
This is all just outright evil.
Walter Sieruk says
To give some Bible based information with authorized Islamic literature also taken into account and yet not to go into detail and that state that this is a theory of Bible prophecy and not a complete prophecy fact.
This is what might happen. This awful and terrible conflict in the twenty -first century is part of the war between the Judo- Christian West and the Islamic East. The “Hidden Imam,” the Mahdi will arise in the Middle East he will appear a wonderful man to many people, in reality he will be wicked man and will be so very deceitful and lying to he will seem, very much, like a good righteous and rightly guided man who will make a short and false “peace” in the Middle East. The Mahdi with have a partner who will be the false “jesus” of Islam. This Islamic ”jesus” will give Christian’s a choice , which is convert to Islam or die by beheading, this is the Koranic way to killing non-Muslims, as in 47:4. Those vicious murders of Christians in the future are predicted in the Bible. As seen in Revelation 20:4.
Furthermore in Israel the Mahdi “shall divide the land” Daniel 11:39. [K.J.V.] between the Jews and Muslims and the Mahdi will also by many deceiving lying signs and wonders, will unify Shite and Sunni Islam together common goal destroying the State of Israel ,once and for all. The Mahdi will then take the all the military force of Islam with Satanic intention of totally destroying the Jewish State, one and for all. The when the Second Coming of real Jesus will occur .This is at the Battle of Armageddon where the final and complete defeat of the Mahdi, along with false ”jesus,” and his Islamic military forces. After the great Victory there will be then the total destruction of Islam. As found in the Bible in, for example, Ezekiel chapter 37 and 38. Zechariah Chapter 12 and then 14:9-21 well as in Revelation 19:11-21.
There is an Christian Arab pastor ,Michael Youssef who had written two well researched and informative books about the Islamic messiah called the Mahdi the are END TIMES AND THE SECRET OF THE MAHDI also the book entitled JESUS , JIHAD AND PEACE Furthermore, another Christian author on the topic of the Mahdi and prophecy is other than pastor Youssef is Joel Richardson who wrote THE ISLAMIC ANTICHRIST :THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE BEAST and the other book entitled THE MIDEAST BEAST : THE SCRIPTURAL CASE FOR THE ISLAMIC ANTICHRIST.
