Iran became a theocracy in 1979, when the Iranian Revolution resulted in the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi and establishment of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei as the first Supreme Leader of Iran. knowledge and, essentially, a new religion. This is evidence enough to prove Imam Mehdi’ s purpose of coming into the world is completely contrary to what Iran projects.
What Iran is posing as a threat is unreal. Their apocalyptic messianic figure will never come, because their version of Imam Mehdi simply does not exist. They will never be able to destroy either Israel or the United States of America.

After the 1979 revolution, tenets of Shi’ ite Islam were given great importance by the government. Iran has made Shi’ ite Islam’ s eschatology a part of their foreign policy, which is extremely dangerous given that Iran has nuclear weapons.
Shi’ ites of the Twelver Shi’ ite Islam sect believe that Imam Mehdi is the son of Imam Hasan Al-Askari, who was born in 869, disappeared, and is destined to return.
Iranian officials see the United States of America as‘ The Great Satan’ and Israel as‘ The Little Satan,’ who their Imam Mehdi will destroy.
Their warped concept of Imam Mehdi as a political leader who will lead Iran to world domination has caused the West to see Imam Mehdi as a threat to world peace.
