TOM BATCHELOR for the Express reports, IRAN has launched another round of ballistic missile tests which it said were designed to hit Israel, in defiance of the West.

The rogue state, which was welcomed in from the cold after a string of sanctions were lifted earlier this year, released fresh pictures showing a long-range Qadr rocket being fired into the sky.
 

 

 

Iran ‘risks EU sanctions over missile tests’ – France

 

France says Iran could face European sanctions over its recent launch of ballistic missiles. (But does Iran even care?)

Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said sanctions would be taken “if necessary”, following talks in Paris with US and European counterparts.

Iran drew strong criticism earlier this month when it launched several missiles as part of a military exercise.

In January, the US imposed sanctions on Iranian companies and individuals in response to a previous round of tests.

That move came a day after international nuclear sanctions on Iran were lifted as part of a deal designed to prevent it developing nuclear arms.

As part of the deal – agreed with world powers – a UN resolution that barred Iran from undertaking any work on ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads was terminated.

However, a new resolution then came into force that “calls upon” Iran not to undertake such activity.

Speaking alongside Mr Ayrault on Sunday, US Secretary of State John Kerry described the recent Iranian missile tests as a breach of UN resolutions.

The US has asked the UN Security Council to discuss the matter on Monday.

Iran says its missiles are for use solely as a conventional deterrent. It says it has ballistic missiles with a range of 2,000km (1,250 miles), which means they would be capable of reaching Israel and US military bases in the Middle East.

In another development, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called on the world powers that backed the Iran nuclear deal to punish Tehran for its recent missile tests.

He told a cabinet meeting on Sunday it would be “important as a test of the powers’ determination to enforce the nuclear deal with Iran, and we of course expect their responses”. SOURCE

  ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED? 

  IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT PREP YOU CAN DO!   

  The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.

   

  Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?

  ​​

  God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.

   

  You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.

   

  Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins.  Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.
