Fourth Seal (Prelude to WW3) - 3
Dan 11:30 For ships from Chittim shall come against him; therefore he (king of the North) shall be grieved, and return in rage against the holy covenant, and do damage. So he shall return and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant.
King of the North
In 2025, the king of the North then was the late 86 years old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He was Iran's spiritual leader and highest authority - he had the final say over all government matters in the country.
Shia Muslims set up a formal clergy system, with religious leaders called 'imams', who were descendants of Muhammad and whom the Shia consider to be the sole interpreters of Islamic theology. The head imam is given the title of Ayatollah.
The Shia Twelvers believe that after Iran has been wiped out by its enemies, the twelfth and final Imam (Mahdi) will appear and conquer the world for Islam in the last days.
he shall be grieved
Ayatollah Ali grieved that both his aerial attacks of Israel in 2024 were ineffective, but:-
1. The 1st Israeli Retaliation on 19 April 2024 was the limited airstrike in central Iran killing most of Iran's nuclear scientists and top military and political leaders
2. The 2nd Israeli Retaliation on 26 October 2024, wiped out most of the Iranian air defense.
Ayatollah Ali grieved that all their most advanced missiles and drones are not matched to the superior arsenal of Israel and the West.
12 Day War 2025 (13 June – 24 June 2025)
On June 22, 2025, the United States B2 bombers attacked and obliterated three nuclear facilities in Iran under the code name Operation Midnight Hammer.
The Grieving Ayatollah
Ayatollah Ali constantly warned the US that if they attacked any of its nuclear sites, he would send his full arsenal to wipe out Israel and all US military bases in the Middle East. On June 22, US had obliterated all its three nuclear facilities.
In complete hopelessness, Ayatollah Ali then set his faith for the Mahdi to appear soon. He sent his limited, outdated and inferior arsenal of weapons to attack the military bases of the West knowing very well that it would be suicidal to attack the invincible US fleets.
Since 2026 Feb. 28, combined U.S.-Israeli airstrikes began, with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei killed alongside dozens of senior political and military leaders in strikes on his office in Tehran. The fear of the US bombs, resulted in the burial of Ayatollah Ali (Kong of the North) only in July, where a temporary peace agreement was made.
therefore he (king of the North) shall be grieved, and return in rage against the holy covenant, and do damage.
New Supreme Leader Mojtaba
In March 2026, Mojtaba Khamenei (the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) was elected the new Supreme Leader, and he is grieving for the Iranian navy and defences were annihilated by US. Even the Straits of Hormuz is now under US control.
He has not been seen on TV since his election because he is hiding from the bombs of the West. He is really grieving because he cannot rule the chaotic Iran, which is in complete shamble. His only hope is the appearance of the Mahdi to save Iran for annihilation by its enemies.
Who then is this new King of the North ?
