| Hoveyzeh LACM |
16 September 2016: This is the essential follow-up to Global SITREP C10-19.
Eschatology Today assesses the cruise missiles used in the attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities to be an improved version of the Soumar Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) noted previously. It is known as the Hoveyzeh LACM and has major improvements over the older Soviet-based Kh-55 Granat version known as the Soumar. The Hoveyzeh was first identified earlier this year as incorporating state-of-the-art advancements making it a stealthy, extremely accurate, terrain or sea-surface skimming cruise missile. The example apparently shot down or crashed in the Saudi desert appear to cnfirm this assessment, even though offical word ffrom the Saudi's of a shoot-down of at least one of the Hoveyzeh has not been forthcoming.
The most important news update comes in the Trump Administration decision to announce publicly the U. S. Intelligence Community's assessment that a dozen of these cruise missiles and nearly twice as many drones were launched by the IRGC-QF from Iranian territory and not from Iraqi territory as noted yesterday. President Trump has also strongly hinted that U.S. military counter-strikes ("locked and loaded") or coalition military counter-strikes on Iranian targets may be imminent. The potential for massive regional escalation cannot be over emphazied.
Updates as they are made available.
Wondering if everyone heard that pin drop? It feels like the calm before a major storm.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sean for taking the edge off my anxiousness.
My expectation is that the response Iran receives will be as mysterious as what happened in Saudi... at least at first.
ReplyDeleteA strike on Iran looking more likely, so I'll speculate our target will be Kharg Island, Iran's primary oil export terminal.
ReplyDeleteThe oil terminal infrastructure was built by Amoco but expropriared by the Khomeini regime after the 1979 revolution. Seems to me to be the perfect place to strike.
Kachol Lavan (Blue & White) leads Likud by 1 seat, 32-32 with 91% of the vote counted, as of 09:30 EDT.

Ken B,
DeleteSee the update on SITREP D1!
Sean,
ReplyDeleteCould you please confirm isaiah 21 prophecy literal fulfilment is soon to take place?
Will Iran attack (Nuke) saudi Arabia according to This prophecy?
Nick,
DeleteIsaiah 21:13-17 appears to be fulfilled in ancient times when the Assyrian king Sennacherib went against Egypt and these Arabians were caught unprepared as his army passed thru their region of western Arabia either coming or going. I'll take a closer look to be sure.
Thanks Sean, looking forward to hear from you, if you get some updates on this passage...
ReplyDeleteNick,
DeleteThe passage may be a dual prophecy with the first fulfillment in Jeremiah 49's oracle against western Arabia and the second remaining to occur in an attack by Iraqi Shi'a PMU militia. Going to have to watch this one; probably part of the coming flood of fulfillments.
