As has been reported, the United States has engaged in an aggressive military attack on multiple Iranian nuclear targets with the objective of destroying Iran’s ability to manufacture nuclear weapons. This happened in the early hours of June 22nd, Iranian time––about 3:00AM. This is a direct result of President Trump’s “policy” to prevent Iran from attaining any kind of nuclear armaments.
True to the President’s [DJT] tactics, there were no “Intel leaks” as to when these attacks actually would take place. He originally claimed it might be within the next 2 weeks. However, the media reported it took place early on June 22nd, Iranian time, some two, or three days later. This being a typical tactic of DJT’s, who has been influenced by Sun Tzu, The Art of War, which is a Chinese military treatise dating back to the 5th century––“never tell the enemy what you’re going to do.”
The precision of which this mission was conducted, by all reports, is nothing short of excellent. The Iranians did not know their air space had been violated, so not one shot was fired in defense of the nuclear targets. No lives were lost on either side and the US B-2 bombers were already flying home after dropping about 14 bunker buster ordinances on three nuclear facilities––and the Iranian military didn’t have a clue as to what just hit them.
However, as perfectly executed as the mission was, there are concerns that perhaps about 800 LBS of refined uranium was moved to another location by the Iranians; knowing they were under DJT’s threat of an attack within a two week period. There were satellite pictures of about 16 semi-trucks parked around some of the nuclear facilities some days before the attack.
But, the MSM has gone on to report that as per the DJT White House press releases, all of the “targeted” Iranian nuclear facilities have been completely destroyed and the estimate is, Iran’s nuclear development program has experienced an enormous set-back––some estimating it could be years for them to recover from this US military action, if at all!!
Strangely enough, what appears to be a “cease-fire agreement” has been agreed upon between both Israel and Iran. Almost within a 24 hour period both countries have come to a realization a cease-fire agreement would be best for their mutual interests. However, both countries had some hours before the agreement went into effect. And it would appear both Iran and Israel have already violated the “good faith” toward this cease-fire agreement by dropping additional missiles on each other as one last effort to pose more destruction.
DJT expressed his frustration at both countries by dropping the “f” bomb to the press as he left for the NATO meeting, with regard to this immature selfish violation of the agreement! However, the tenuous agreement has been re-imposed and is currently in place as we go to print.
But, as mentioned, it would appear Iran has been severely set back by this attack in a few ways, and of which; what is most disturbing to them? The reality check of this military operation––that of how superior this military action was. The Iranians didn’t even know the B-2’s were in their air space. They did not fire one shot at the B-2’s because they came into Iran’s air space undetected; and left undetected!! This is a most humiliating situation for the Iranian military to have experienced. They had no defense against this nightly attack, which devastated their nuclear manufacturing facilities! It plainly revealed Iran’s military preparedness was no match for the superior military weaponry the United States has at it’s disposal. The Iranian nation was completely vulnerable and without any defensive action in response !!
And yet strangely, since the United States initiated this military offensive with kinetic bombings, targeting Iran’s multiple nuclear manufacturing facilities; Iran’s allies, China and Russia, stand stationary––exercising no indication of coming to Iran’s aid––why do you think that is? World War one and two were started with less, or just as much reason. Attacking Iran, is equivalent to China invading Taiwan! So, what do you think is going on here? Why would these allies stand down rather than come to Iran’s aid? Could it be they know they have more to loose than gain at this present time? What are we missing? Are we witnessing God’s intervention in real time, holding back conditions and circumstances as He “strategically steers” His plan?
These are strange times indeed! But, keep in mind, China depends on Iran for much of their oil (China purchases approx 90% of Iran’s shipped oil—2.0+million barrels / day) and it comes through the Strait of Hormuz. So, this presents a problem for Iran, when considering to arm it with mines, or try to shut down this maritime route. They know that would hurt China’s needs and Russia has it’s plate full with the Ukrainian war. So, both of these allies are in no shape to counter with, or support Iran militarily except perhaps, with supplying them weapons.
But regardless, there appears to be some hesitancy to engage in a military reaction; especially, in light of the “Peace Agreement” so quickly agreed to with Israel, at President Trump’s request. Additionally, it appears there may be “back-channel” communications going on with Russia and China. It’s been confirmed President Putin did call DJT offering help with Iran.
However, on another point of interest, this forces P.M. Netanyahu of Israel to be very open about his reasons for aggressively pursuing Iran’s destruction. Though there appears to be good reason for his aggression since Iran is on record to destroy Israel––the fact is, this suspicion of Iran refining weapon grade uranium has been “Bibi’s” leverage to extract foreign aid from the United States for about 40 years, over multiple US administrations.
Isaiah 11:13 mentions how a time would come when Ephraim (U.K.. & USA) would no longer be the envy of other nations and Judah (Israel of Palestine) would no longer “vex” Ephraim. Ever since the USA has assumed the responsibility to be the “big brother” to Israel they have given prodigious amounts of money, equipment and spent time on them. The Jewish state could not exist today without the provisions and protective shadow of the United States, standing by, as a deterrent to its enemies!! But, the time is coming, when Christ will rule the world and this will no longer be the situation. Geopolitical conditions will be completely different and peace will finally come to Earth!!
But, until then we are going to have “problematic issues” with the Middle-east. This will last up and until almost the first resurrection and Christ’s return. Notice: “He [king of the north] shall enter also into the glorious land [Palestine], and many countries shall be overthrown:”(Dan. 11:41). This occurs right before the resurrection and Christ’s return. Notice: “And at that time shall Michael stand up… and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time [the Tribulation]: …And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake” (Dan. 12:1-2).
As much as the United States and others try to broker peace in this region of the world, prophecy would indicate peace “will not” be achieved over the long term. Instead, more unrest will continue. There may be be a reprieve here and there along the way, in the short term; but in actuality, there will be more unrest, disruption, and devastation!!
But, for now it would appear there may be some temporary peace. But, keep in mind, “the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” (1 Thess. 5:2-3)! ….Yes, God will not be mocked!!
