Winston, Freeman Center Middle East Analyst & Commentator The nations who spilled the blood of Jews, now and over the centuries, are also cursed and their suffering will get worse. It took 10 Plagues to convince Pharaoh to recognize a Greater Power, leaving the land of Egypt devastated through today. I wonder how long the retribution will continue? And what will cause us to break off America’s alliances with the murderous nations of Ishmael? I have prayed that the cities and land of Iran be devastated by massive earthquakes where not one brick stands on another. Let the sweet oil wells be sheared off by the shifting of the earth. Coincidentally, a 4.9 earthquake was reported today, November 5, 2009 at 2:56 AM on Iran’s border in the port city of Bandar Abbas. So far, at least 700 people have been injured. Iran is located on some of the world’s most active seismic fault lines and is prone to earthquakes. The historic Iranian city of Bam was destroyed by a 6.7 magnitude earthquake which killed some 31,000 people in 2003. (1)Iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, being crossed by several major fault lines that cover at least 90% of the country. As a result, earthquakes in Iran occur often and are destructive. The Iranian plateau is subjective to most types of tectonic activity, including active folding and faulting, and volcanic eruptions. It is also well known for its long history of disastrous earthquake activity. Not only have these earthquakes killed thousands but they have also lead to waste of valuable natural resources. Since 1900, at least 126,000 fatalities have resulted from Iranian earthquakes. (2) Remember, all of Iran’s Nuclear Research and Development facilities are standing on or near tectonic fault lines. Imagine the level of disaster that the world would experience if an Iranian earthquake split or burst a Nuclear Facility. 1. “Hundreds Injured In Iran Earthquake” News.com.au (Australia) & Tehran Agence France-Presse November 5, 2009 12:01 AM 2. “List of Earthquakes in Iran” Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earthquakes_in_Iran Geology and history The Iranian plateau is subject to most types of tectonic activity, including active folding, faulting and volcanic eruptions.

WINSTON ### Danger: Third Quake in Six Weeks in Nuclear Iran by Hillel Fendel Elul 19, 5770, 29 August 10 01:36 (Israelnationalnews.com) A third earthquake in less than six weeks has hit Iran, killing at least three people and injuring 21. The 5.9-magnitude quake hit the city of Damghan in northern Iran, 175 miles east of Tehran, late Friday night. Fifteen villages were reportedly damaged. Earthquake-prone Iran suffered a 5.7-quake on July 30. Some 300 people in northeastern Iran were injured at the time. Ten days earlier, a 5.8-earthquake hit the south of the country, killing at least one and injuring 32. Hundreds of homes were damaged in both. Experts have warned that Iran’s propensity for earthquakes, its non-strict building codes, and the fact that several of its nuclear facilities are situated near densely-populated urban areas could have catastrophic consequences for Iran, its neighbors, and world oil prices. Experts estimate that an average of one serious tremor hits the country every day. Seven years ago, 26,000 people were killed by a 6.6-magnitude quake in the historic city of Bam in southeastern Iran.
