Iran's Nuclear Threat Exposes West's Failed Strategy After October 7

A Jerusalem Post opinion piece warns that the West's belief in moderating jihadist regimes through economic incentives was shattered by Hamas's October 7 massacre, and Iran's advancing nuclear program may deliver the next catastrophic lesson. This mirrors the biblical pattern of nations underestimating threats against Israel to their own peril, as Scripture warns of a time when surrounding powers will seek Israel's destruction. Ezekiel 38 foretells a coalition of hostile nations rising against a restored Israel, a scenario made increasingly plausible as Iran positions itself as the region's dominant jihadist nuclear power.
