Qatar is home to the largest US army base in the Gulf, and is now the location of a new missile defence radar for the region.

America have been massively increasing their operations in the Gulf in recent months in response to the increasing hostilities with Iran.

The latest efforts to curb the Iranian nuclear program is the implementation of an oil embargo on the country. The American and European embargo began July 1st. Iran had previously said it would close the Straits of Hormuz if the embargo went ahead.

The Straits of Hormuz is a narrow shipping lane in the Gulf. Around 20% of the world’s oil supply is transported through this route.

The missile radar will enable the US Navy to take out Iranian missiles.

Also in the Gulf, the US Navy have been conducting a massive minesweeping exercise. Another strategy the Iranians could use would be the planting of mines along the Strait of Hormuz. In the past Iran have used small fishing vessels to drop mines covertly into the water.

Prophet TV have been teaching about how strategic these events are. What the liberal politicians of the West have failed to grasp about Iran is their determination to create nuclear weapons, whatever the cost. This is fuelled by their hatred for Israel and the West, who they see as the Great Satan. The Iranian leadership believe they have been divinely called to destroy Israel.
