...Iranian leaders say the return of their Islamic
messiah -- known as the Mahdi, or Twelfth Imam -- is drawing near. In
their view, using nuclear weapons against Israel or the West could
hasten his appearance.
"He will come back and save them. So an attack and a conflagration is an incentive," Says Harold Rhode, a senior adviser to the Hudson Institute, and former foreign affairs specialist at the Pentagon.
Iran expert Dr. Michael Ledeen, a freedom scholar with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said when Iranian leaders threaten to destroy America and Israel, we should take them at their word.
"Obviously, their nuclear program is closely related to their messianic vision," he said.
