Prophetically, first a step back for Iran. They will have to lick their wounds, but Iran will unfortunately still be Iran, wounded but nevertheless become more closely tied to the leader Gog from Russia, agreement-wise.

Russia will eventually reluctantly agree to an attack on Israel. God will draw the Russian leader with “hooks into your jaws” toward Israel (Ezekiel 38:4). Accompanying him are at least nine other partners, including “Persia” (Iran) (Ezekiel 38:5). Thus, Iran is still to be reckoned as a country capable of waging war! These people will move towards Israel and attack from multiple directions. Then, God's fire and brimstone from heaven will strike Gog and his entire great army and smash it on the “mountains of Israel” (Ezekiel 39:4). The USA's attack on Iran will lead Iran to form a closer relationship with Russia and several Arab countries. Turkey will leave NATO (see the name “the people of Togarmah”, Ezekiel 38:5–6), for this country will align with Russia (“the king of the North”, Joel 2:20), “from the far North”, Ezekiel 39:2, and Iran—in a future war against Israel. Several other countries will join in an attack on Israel. Russia will attack Israel twice in the end times. The first is described in Ezekiel 38 and 39 and Joel 2:20. The next will occur in connection with the war on the plains of Armageddon towards
