The war that the United States and Israel are waging against Iran since February 28, 2026, under Operation Epic Fury (“Epstein Fury”), is not a conflict over resources or regional balance. It is an eschatological war: a frontal clash between two irreconcilable visions of the end times. Aleksandr Dugin defines it bluntly as “war of eschatologies.” Both sides operate under religious prophecies that are no longer symbols but concrete plans of action. Iran resists as the spiritual shield of the multipolar world; the West advances toward its own messianic ruin, convinced that collapse accelerates divine fulfillment.
For the radical Zionists who control Israel and Washington, destroying Iran is the indispensable step to rebuild the Third Temple in Jerusalem. Prime Minister and criminal Netanyahu and his henchmen, Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, act publicly under the promise of eradicating Amalek (“the evil,” interpreted by Zionism as the Muslim world) and preparing the arrival of the Messiah. But if that Messiah does not appear, the entire Zionist project collapses. This is not conventional geopolitics: it is theology turned into missiles and strategic bombings, executed with the certainty that prophetic time is running out.
On the American side, the dispensationalist evangelicals who sustain Trump’s base interpret every attack as the trigger for the “Rapture” (the taking up, death, and resurrection of Christians) and the Second Coming of Christ. Their foreign policy obeys a biblical script, not national interests. Billions in military aid flow under the conviction that events in Israel accelerate the end announced in the annotated Scofield Bible (or Protestant Bible). This hallucination has real force: strategic decisions that can sink empires are made under that eschatological faith.
Iran, for its part, fights directly against the Dajjal, the Islamic Antichrist embodied in the United States-Israel alliance. The Shia do not wait for a distant future; they act here and now as defenders of the sacred order against the evil that seeks to rule the world. For Tehran, this war is the final battle against the usurper, and every blow received only strengthens their prophetic determination.
Iran does not only fight: it restrains. This can be identified as the Katechon, the spiritual force that halts the reign of the Antichrist and the total triumph of liberal globalism. While Iran resists, the rest of the Global South remains protected. But if Iran falls, it would expose Russia and China to the final attack of Western civilization, turning this conflict into the first act of an irreversible world war.
The Iranian mentality transforms possible military defeat into spiritual victory. Iran will never surrender, nor negotiate. This martyrial disposition turns every bomb into a redemptive act and marks the end of the Atlantic unipolar order, the modern “Baal” in agony. It is the Endkampf that paves the way for the multipolar world, where sacred Tradition regains its place.
Both sides know exactly what they are doing. Netanyahu prepares the coming of the Messiah; the Shia resist the Dajjal; the evangelicals await the Rapture. Iran is only the first trench of the great confrontation.
At bottom, the war is spiritual. It pits sacred Tradition—represented by Iran and Russian Orthodoxy—against the “Epstein class,” the global pedophile, thieving, genocidal, and technological elite that Dugin describes as the vanguard of the Antichrist. This is not nations against nations. It is the final combat between the sacred and the profane. And in that combat, Iran is winning.
