The End of The World
Iranian State media is predicting the Apocalypse, possibly as soon as Spring! "Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance) will appear all of a sudden on the world scene with a voice from the skies announcing his reappearance at the holy Ka'ba in Mecca."
Imam Mahdi, also known as The Twelfth Imam, is supposed to return to Mecca when the world is in a state of total chaos. His return will mark the beginning of a massive global jihad, resulting in a perfect Muslim state covering the entire globe.
Now this poses two problems. The first being that the world is not in chaos. Sure, there are some "hot spots", but chaos would be a massive overstatement.
This makes one wonder what Ahmadinejad and Khamenei know that the rest of us aren't privy to. Could Iran be planning a Spring attack on Israel? Or possibly a large attack on Israel via their Lebanese proxy Hezbollah? Maybe they've made greater technological breakthroughs in their nuke technology than the West actaully knows.
Ahmadinejad has stated publicly in the past that he believes the main reason for the Islamic Revolution is to pave the way for Imam Mahdi. In fact, Mahmoud also said in 2004 that he believed the Twelfth Imam was due to return in 2007.
Now, problem number two makes things REALLY interesting. It seems Imam Mahdi will be bringing backup with him:
Was the whole mild-mannered peace-mongering carpenter persona just a cover? Were Jesus and his desciples really just a Sleeper Cell? Will Jesus be firing RPG's at Iraqi troops in four months time? And the biggest question of all: would George W. Bush sell American nukes to Jesus, even if he was in cahoots with Mohamed?
If Iran is right, you'd better prepare yourself for a long nuclear winter.

We read in the book Tazkarat ol-Olia, 'the Mahdi will come with Jesus son of Mary accompanying him.' ... Imam Mahdi will be the leader while Prophet Jesus will act as his lieutenant in the struggle against oppression and establishment of justice in the world. Jesus had himself given the tidings of the coming of God's last messenger and will see Mohammad's ideals materialize in the time of the Mahdi.Thats right, Jesus will be the #2 man in the New Global Jihad, according to Iranian television.
