Credit to Comic Strip Blogger Tomorrow's Show This week’s news is centered around the Trump-Iran deal that is supposed to be signed Friday with the involvement of Qatar and Pakistan. The Straight is supposed to open, and everything will return to normal for at least 60 days when the whole thing could fall apart. The real and seldom discussed issue has to with the nuclear program and a superstitious sub cult of certain Shiite Muslims called “Twelver Shiism.” Here is the backgrounder: In Twelver Shiism, the 12th Imam is the final Imam and is identified with the Mahdi, a messianic figure expected to reappear after a period of hiddenness. Britannica notes that this expectation is one of the two core pillars of Iranian Shiism, alongside reverence for the martyrdom of earlier Imams. The idea developed from the death of the 11th Imam and the disappearance of his young son in the 9th century. Shiites who follow this doctrine believe the Imam remains alive in concealment and continues to guide believers spiritually until Allah allows his return. In modern Iran, this belief has had political consequences because the Shiite clergy became the country’s dominant moral and political force after the 1979 revolution. Some hardline or apocalyptic voices inside and around the regime have insisted that Iran should help “prepare” the world for the Mahdi’s return by confronting Israel and worsening global conflict. This would be accomplished by bombing Israel with a nuke and creating the chaos to beckon the 12th Imam. This sort of thinking is alien to all but the nuttiest of Western influencers. And it is why Iran’s nuclear program is so important to Iran. Few podcasts or news shows, except No Agenda, do this sort of analysis and your support will help this continue.
