EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I (GOD) will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13  Sheba, and Dedan,(SAUDI-ARABIA) and the merchants of Tarshish,(SPAIN) with all the young lions thereof,(ENGLAND,AND ALL ITS ASSOCIATES-CANADA,AUSTRALIA-NEW ZEALAND, USA, AND WESTERN ENGLISH SPEAKING NATIONS) shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14  Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15  And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16  And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18  And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19  For in my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

Netanyahu vows to ‘monitor Iran,’ says it hasn’t abandoned quest for nukes-As Iran and world powers announce implementation of nuclear deal and removal of sanctions, PM vows to warn of any violation-By Times of Israel staff and AFP January 16, 2016, 11:37 pm

As the UN, Iran and world powers triumphantly announced the implementation of the nuclear accord with Tehran and the removal of sanctions from the Islamic republic on Saturday, the mood in Jerusalem was far from celebratory.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a statement issued immediately after the announcement was made, vowed that Israel “will monitor the implementation of the deal and will notify of any violation.”He added that Tehran “has not abandoned its aspirations to acquire nuclear weapons, and continues to act to destabilize the Middle East and spread terrorism throughout the world.”The premier, who has been perhaps the most vocal opponent to the deal on the global stage, called on world powers and on the International Atomic Energy Agency to “closely follow activities in Iran’s nuclear installations and at other sites to ensure that it does not continue to develop nuclear weapons covertly.”He warned that “without an appropriate response to every violation, Iran will surmise that it can continue to develop nuclear weapons, to destabilize the region and to spread terrorism.”Israel, he said, “will do everything it takes to maintain its security and defend itself.”Earlier Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan warned that the implementation of the landmark nuclear deal between world powers and Iran would endanger the Middle East and fail to curb Tehran’s atomic program.“The ‘implementation day’ of the nuclear agreement ushers us into a new and dangerous era, in which Iran is freed from most of its economic sanctions, without having to quit its nuclear program or provide explanations for its military activities,” Erdan said in a statement.Erdan, who is also public security minister, said Iran continued to “supply arms to terror groups like Hezbollah and Hamas” while interfering in the internal affairs of Gulf States and violating a UN Security Council prohibition on “developing ballistic missiles.”“This is a difficult day for all the states in the region that hoped Iran wouldn’t be able to obtain nuclear arms and would cease to meddle in the region,” said Erdan, who is close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.Israel tried to prevent the accord, arguing it would not stop Tehran from developing an atomic weapon if it wished. Iran has always denied seeking a nuclear bomb.Netanyahu has called the deal a “historic mistake,” warning that it entrenches the Islamist regime in power, gives Iran tens of billions of dollars in sanctions relief to fund terrorism and promote regional instability, and paves Iran’s path to a nuclear arsenal.An Israeli official said earlier Saturday that Iran’s first priority once the deal is implemented would be to spend its newly freed-up funds on military acquisitions, and not on civilian investments, Army Radio reported. Furthermore, the unnamed source said, the implementation of the agreement would have a direct impact on the region, as terror groups Hezbollah and Hamas — both recipients of Iranian largesse — would find themselves in possession of new and modern weaponry.“The world powers are mistaken if they see Iran as a solution to regional stability, and not the source of the problem,” a second unnamed official said, according to the radio.

Iran nuclear deal: Main points-In exchange for relief from economic sanctions, the accord seeks to put nuclear bomb out of Tehran’s reach-By AFP January 17, 2016, 12:30 am-the times of israel

VIENNA — The UN atomic watchdog said on Saturday that Iran has fulfilled its commitments under the nuclear deal reached in Vienna on July 14, 2015 by Tehran and six world powers.In exchange for relief from painful sanctions, the accord dramatically scales down Iran’s nuclear program in order to make any secret drive to make nuclear weapons all but impossible.Following are the main points in the deal:Nuclear downsizing— Cutting the number of uranium centrifuges, which can enrich uranium for nuclear fuel as well as for nuclear weapons, from more than 19,000 to 5,060 and maintaining this level for 10 years.All enrichment is to take place at the Natanz facility. The Fordo site, containing an additional 1,044 centrifuges, will no longer enrich uranium.— Reducing Iran’s pre-deal stockpile of 12 tons of low-enriched uranium — enough for several nuclear weapons if further enriched — to 300 kilograms (660 pounds), a ceiling that will last for 15 years.Only enrichment to low purities is allowed, and for 15 years.— Limiting specific research and development (R&D) activities. These activities cannot lead to the accumulation of enriched uranium.— Redesigning Iran’s Arak reactor so that it does not produce weapons-grade plutonium, the alternative to highly-enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon.— Applying the Additional Protocol, allowing for closer inspections, including potentially of military bases.The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will also employ high-tech surveillance equipment and have access to facilities such as uranium mines and centrifuge workshops for periods of up to 25 years.The IAEA drew a line under a long-running probe into allegations of past efforts to develop a nuclear weapon in mid-December, removing an important obstacle to implementing the deal.-Sanctions-A UN Security Council resolution endorsing the deal has terminated all provisions of previous resolutions on the Iranian nuclear issue simultaneous with the IAEA verifying Iran has implemented the above.The same applies to US and EU nuclear-related sanctions imposed on oil exports, Iran’s financial system and other areas. Restrictions on arms sales can be lifted after five years or once the IAEA gives a “broad conclusion” that all Iranian nuclear activities are peaceful.For ballistic missiles the period is eight years.A Joint Commission is to be created comprising the six powers, the European Union and Iran to handle any problems, with a majority vote needed to decide whether there has been a violation.

Which US sanctions on Iran are canceled?-From shipbuilding to pistachios to insurance, US prohibitions that throttled trade with the Islamic Republic are lifted-By AFP January 17, 2016, 1:08 am-the times of israel

WASHINGTON – With Saturday’s formal implementation of the Iran nuclear deal, the United States lifted it economic sanctions imposed to dissuade Tehran from building a bomb.Other, separate sanctions designed to punish Iran’s alleged sponsorship of foreign militant groups and its ballistic missile program will remain.But the nuclear sanctions — matched by similar European Union action — were the most serious brakes on the Iranian economy and their cancellation will be a boost to Iran’s reformist government.Secondary sanctions-With the adoption of the deal, the United States automatically drops its “secondary sanctions” banning non-Americans from certain trade and investment with Iran.These include:Finance and banking-related sanctions, including on dealings with the Iranian central bank-Sanctions on underwriting services, insurance and re-insurance-Sanctions on Iran’s oil, gas and petrochemical sectors-Sanctions on doing business with Iranian shippers, shipbuilders and port operators-Sanctions on Iran’s trade in gold and other precious metals-Sanctions on trade in graphite, raw or semi-finished metals such as aluminum and steel, coal and software for integrating industrial processes — where such items are not used in nuclear research banned under the deal-Sanctions on Iran’s automotive sector-Sanctions on associated services for each of the categories above-Blocked persons-The United States has removed 400 names of individuals, companies and entities from lists of sanctions evaders and those connected to the Iran nuclear program. Planes and pistachios-While US companies will still be barred in many cases from directly doing business with Iran themselves, the deal allows trade in three specific areas:US companies will be allowed to export commercial aircraft and spare parts to Iran’s creaking fleet, as long as they are not used for military transport or activities banned under the nuclear pact.US-owned or managed companies based abroad will be given a general permission to trade with Iran.Iranian producers will be permitted to export to the United States carpets and food — including pistachios and caviar. Cash windfall-With the dropping of the sanctions, Iran will be able to access tens of billions of dollars in its oil revenues blocked in foreign banks.US officials estimate that after Iran has settled outstanding debts and bills, notably to China, they may be able to get their hands on $50 billion.

Sat Jan 16, 2016 5:41-UPDATES:URGENT: Jason Rezaian and 3 Other US Inmates Freed by Iran-FARSE NEWS

TEHRAN (FNA)- 4 Iranian-American nationals who were held for various charges in Iran have been freed under a prisoners swap deal, Tehran's prosecutor announced Saturday afternoon."Based on an approval of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) and the general interests of the Islamic Republic, four Iranian prisoners with dual-nationality were freed today within the framework of a prisoner swap deal," the office of Tehran prosecutor said.The four Iranian-Americans, Jason Rezaian, Amir Hekmat, Saeed Abedini and Nosratollah Khosrawi who were jailed in Iran on various charges in recent years, have all been released. According o the swap deal, the US has also freed 6 Iranian-Americans who were held for sanctions-related charges.A senior Iranian legislator citing an IRGC report on Rezaian's case said in October that he has been imprisoned for his attempts to help the US Senate to advance its regime change plots in Iran.In late July 2014, Iran confirmed that four journalists, including Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian, had been arrested and were being held for questioning.Rezaian's wife Yeganeh Salehi, a correspondent for the United Arab Emirates-based newspaper, the National, was also arrested at that time, but she and two others were released later.According to the Constitution, the Judiciary is independent from the government in Iran.Some reports earlier this year had spoken of a potential prisoner swap between Iran and US following the Vienna nuclear deal in July.

Iran hints prisoner swap may be way to free jailed American journalist-The speaker of Iran’s parliament said in an interview that a prisoner swap was ‘one way’ Washington Post bureau chief Jason Rezaian might be liberated-Jason Rezaian-Lauren Gambino in New York-Friday 4 September 2015 21.38 BST-Last modified on Wednesday 2 December 2015 16.44 GMT

The speaker of Iran’s parliament has hinted that a prisoner swap is one possible way to free jailed American journalist Jason Rezaian, who has been tried on espionage charges in a closed Tehran court.During an interview with NPR published on Thursday, Ali Larijani was asked if he could foresee a “practical way” to liberate both Rezaian, who is awaiting sentencing after more than a year spent in prison, and the other Americans held in Iran.“There are practical ways of course,” Larijani said. “For example, there is a number of Iranians in prison here. Definitely for matters of this sort, one can come up with solutions. I think your politicians know about those ways.”Pressed on whether he was suggesting a prisoner swap, Larijani replied: “That’s one way. There are other ways that the judiciary systems of the two countries can come up with. It is the judiciary that has to decide about it.”Though the Iranian politician does not have direct authority over Rezaian, his brother, Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani, is the head of Iran’s judiciary system.Larijani suggestion’s that Iran may be open to a prisoner swap came in sharp contrast to recent comments made by Iran’s deputy foreign minister Hassan Qashqavi, who suggested that no such plan was under consideration. According to the Associated Press, Qashqavi told Iran’s Tasnim and Fars news agencies: “An exchange of Jason Rezaian is not on the agenda. Each of the issues has their own separate case.” Qashqavi’s comments were first time a high-level official has alluded to the possibility of such a trade, the AP reported.US officials have said they raise the issue of the detained Americans on each occasion they meet with their Iranian counterparts.Rezaian’s closed-door trial, which began in May, played out during a crucial moment in the ongoing nuclear negotiations between Iran and the west. His lawyer was recently quoted in early August as saying a verdict was expected imminently though relatives of his are still waiting for it to be issued.Rezaian has been held in Iran since July 2014, when he was arrested along with his wife, Yeganeh Salehi, and another couple. Rezaian is the only one who remains in prison. The couple were released shortly after their arrest, and Salehi, also a journalist, was released on bail in October and faces a separate trial. Some have suggested Rezian’s captivity was tied to political tensions around the nuclear negotiations, though US officials have said they deliberately kept the negotiations separate from the release of the American prisoners, in case the talks faltered. Others have speculated that Rezaian was caught in the crossfire of political infighting among competing factions within the government.Two other Americans are being held by Iran, Amir Hekmati, a US marine veteran who just marked four years in captivity, and Saeed Abedini, a Christian pastor whose been held since 2012. Robert Levinson, another American, disappeared in Iran while on CIA mission eight years ago.

Top US, Iranian envoys eye end of sanctions against Iran-Associated Press By GEORGE JAHN and BRADLEY KLAPPER-JAN 16,16-YAHOONEWS

VIENNA (AP) — The end of Western sanctions against Iran loomed Saturday as Iran's foreign minister suggested the U.N. atomic agency is close to certifying that his country has met all commitments under its landmark nuclear deal with six world powers.Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif held a series of meetings in Vienna with his European Union and U.S. counterparts — including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry — on implementing the accord."All oppressive sanctions imposed against Iran will be annulled today," Zarif said on Iranian state TV — a reference to the start of the process that will end financial and other penalties imposed on his country once the U.N. agency says Tehran has fulfilled its obligations to restrict its nuclear programs in the deal reached last summer.Certification by the International Atomic Energy Agency would allow Iran to immediately recoup some $100 billion in assets frozen overseas. The benefits of new oil, trade and financial opportunities from suspended sanctions could prove far more valuable for Tehran in the long run.Kerry and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini were in Vienna, headquarters to the IAEA, for separate meetings with Zarif.Despite Zarif's optimistic comments about the approaching end to sanctions, both he and Kerry deflected a question about whether their deal would be implemented later in the day." We're trying," said Zarif."We're working on it," added Kerry, seated across the table from Zarif in an ornate room at a luxury Vienna hotel.In his earlier comments to Iranian television, Zarif said the deal between his country and the six world powers would hold, telling Iranian media that all parties would "not allow the outcome of these talks to be wasted."The agreement, struck after decades of hostility, defused the likelihood of U.S. or Israeli military action against Iran, something Zarif alluded to."Our region has been freed from shadow of an unnecessary conflict that could have caused concerns for the region," he said. "Today is also a good day for the world. Today will prove that we can solve important problems through diplomacy."Iran insists all of its nuclear activities are peaceful. But under the July 14 deal, Iran agreed to crimp programs which could be used to make nuclear weapons in return for an end to sanctions. The agreement puts Iran's various nuclear activities under IAEA watch for up to 15 years, with an option to re-impose sanctions should Tehran break its commitments.
