The Future of Iran

Century V, Quartain 25

Le prince Arabe, Mars, Sol, Venus, Lyon
Regne d'Eglise par mer succombera
Devers la Perse bien pres d'un million
Bisance, Egypte, ver. serp. invadera

Translation

The Arab Prince Mars, Sun, Venus, Leo,

The rule of the Church will succumb by sea:

Towards Persia very nearly a million men,

The verbose serpent will invade Byzantium and Egypt.

Interpretation

When the Iranian leaders make venomous speeches against Turkey and Egypt, they will join in a coalition with the Arab monarchies, the super power and its allies to attack Iran. The navies of the Christian powers in the Persian Gulf will fall back and a land invasion by an army of nearly a million will be planned.

Question

Will there be a war or will sanity prevail?
