Iran: War, fear and Biblical wisdom

Last weekend, the US and Israel launched military strikes on Iran that killed the country’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and other senior leaders.

The British RAF base in Cyprus was also targeted. In Lebanon, Hezbollah – funded by Iran – have also attacked Israel.
