A Message about Elam
Jeremiah 49.34 This message concerning Elam came to the prophet Jeremiah from the LORD at the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah. 35 This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies says:
“I will destroy the archers of Elam—
the best of their forces.
36 I will bring enemies from all directions,
and I will scatter the people of Elam to the four winds.
They will be exiled to countries around the world.
37 I myself will go with Elam’s enemies to shatter it.
In my fierce anger, I will bring great disaster
upon the people of Elam,” says the LORD.
“Their enemies will chase them with the sword
until I have destroyed them completely.
38 I will set my throne in Elam,” says the LORD,
“and I will destroy its king and officials.
39 But I will restore the fortunes of Elam
in days to come.
I, the LORD, have spoken!”

The provocation, of course, is Iran will have a nuclear weapon soon if they don't have it already. This is unacceptable to the nations of the world because of the erratic and volatile nature of its leaders and proclamation to destroy Israel to send it into the Mediterranean never to be seen again. Iran plans on committed the next holocaust against the Jews.

Iran needs to be invaded and prevented from having a nuclear power plant or nuclear weapons. They have more than enough oil; they certainly don't need a nuclear power plant.
