This 4th of July, 2025 may be the ideal date for Iran to take its revenge on America. The “Great Satan” (America) and the “Little Satan” (Israel) humiliated Iran’s government and armed forces, and destroyed its nuclear ambitions all in a “twelve day war”, as President Trump called it. The Iranian leaders’ (at least the ones still alive) lust for revenge must be irresistible.
Islamic radicals have a fixation on significant dates. September 11th and October 7th are two celebratory dates on their calendar. Independence Day on July 4th, having great significance to Americans, is a tempting target.
There are over half a million Iranians living in our country that have been identified. Thousands of Iranians have been caught by our Border Patrol trying to get into the country. Many thousands more have likely crossed our borders illegally. The Biden administration has negligently released several hundred Islamists with ISIS terrorist ties into America’s heartland.
The temptation of huge crowds gathered at night amidst the snap, crackle, and pop of fireworks acting as cover for a terrorist attack may be too hard to pass up.
In Kurt Schlichter’s fictional (so far) novel, The Attack, over a thousand cells of four to five Islamic terrorists each were activated simultaneously over a three day period to kill, rape, and torture as many people as possible in the cities, suburbs, and infrastructure until they were killed themselves.
In real life, on Friday the 13th, November 2015, Paris was attacked by three suicide bombers at a stadium soccer match attended by French President Francois Hollande. Simultaneously, a team of gunmen and a suicide bomber attacked multiple restaurants and bars in downtown Paris, mowing down dozens of nighttime diners. This was followed by an attack on the Bataclan concert hall, which was filled with 1500 concert-goers. 89 were killed and 99 seriously wounded by a team of three terrorists with Kalashnikov-type assault rifles.
The attacks were conducted by “three co-ordinated teams”, according to the Paris chief prosecutor. These Islamic terrorists were activated allegedly as revenge in response to blaming the French president for intervening in Syria.
If you are legally authorized to carry, concealed or otherwise, I would advise doing it on July 4th, with your situational awareness on overdrive. Please use the appropriate caution with a firearm in a crowded location.
I sincerely hope this will be a joyous, terrorist event-free holiday, and that I’ll feel like a fool for writing this blog piece. Hopefully.
