Fourth Seal
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.
Iran Supreme Leader
The present king of the North is the 84 year old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He is Iran's spiritual leader and highest authority - he has the final say over all government matters in the country.
Shi'ite Muslims set up a formal clergy system, with religious leaders called 'imams', who were descendants of Muhammad and whom the Shi'ites consider to be the sole interpreters of Islamic theology. The head imam is given the title of Ayatollah.
The twelfth and final Imam (Mahdi) is believed by the Twelvers to be currently alive and hidden in the Major Occultation until he returns to bring justice to the world.
Ayatollah's Warnings
Ayatollah Ali is constantly warning the US that if they or Israel attacks any of its nuclear site, he will send his full arsenal to wipe out Israel and all US military bases in the Middle East.
With his strong faith that the Mahdi would appear soon, Ayatollah Ali sends his limited, outdated and inferior arsenal of weaponary to attack the invincible US fleets knowing very well that it will be suicidal. He was hoping that he could witness Mahdi's amazing power in annihilating the invincible US forces.
he shall be grieved
Unfortunately, his timing was off. Without the Mahdi, the Iranian arsenal were completely nullified and destroyed by the powerful US carrier fleets. The Iranians were powerless to face the onslaught of the enemies, so the only thing left is for them to pray for the Mahdi's appearance.
US will then take this opportunity to annihilate this 'axis of evil' by completely destroying all Iran's nuclear and military sites.
It grieves Ayatollah and his imam leadership of their fate in having to witness the innocent Iranian civilians bombed and killed by the Southern Alliance's missiles, bombs and artilleries and their country in complete ruin.
To further US' objective of regime change, Ayatollah and Iran's leadership will be hunted down. And as each imam who are the descendants of Muhammad are caught and killed, the hatred of Muslims worldwide for the West will keep escalating. Finally, Ayatollah Ali is apprehended and killed, but before the US could change the regime an imam will rise up and declare himself the new Ayatollah of Iran (new king of the North)
The New Ayatollah
According to the Shi'ite beliefs, the 12th imam will be "a young man of medium stature with a handsome face, with black hair and beard. A divine cry will call the people of the world to his aid, after which the angels, jinns, and humans will flock to the Mahdi."
The Mahdi is likely not a human for even the angels will submit and assist him at the call of jihad.
