Update (Day 953) Swords of Iron “Dangerous Stuff”

With every new day we wonder: is this the day America and Israel will team up to finish the job—defeat the head of the octopus of terror in Iran and bring security back to our people?

We are paying the ultimate price here. Captain Maor Yisrael Recanati fell in battle in southern Lebanon, fighting to bring security back to the Galilee and to this land. He was only 24 years old—just one month away from his wedding. Absolutely heartbreaking. May his memory be a blessing.

And while our heroes are falling, it is painful to see people in America, Canada, and around the world waving Hezbollah and Hamas flags. I know these are extremists, but this is dangerous. Gaza was not always like this. Look what happens when evil takes root and is allowed to grow.

That’s why Israel has done a service to humanity by eliminating Ali Hadad, one of the orchestrators of the October 7 massacre. If he was connected to holding Emily Damari captive, then I remember meeting her mother, Mandy, not long after the massacre. I promised her I would do everything in my power—life and limb—to help bring her daughter home. She told me to search the tunnels, call out Emily’s nickname, and let her know it was safe. That mother-daughter love was so powerful. Thank God Emily made it home.

Trump is signaling that it’s time for “cleanup work” against Iran and its terror network. He may also be open to a 20-year halt on Iran’s nuclear activity, but can they be trusted? Iran says it is ready to talk, but also ready for war. They even reportedly offered a major reward for anyone who kills President Trump. That does not sound like a regime ready for peace.

After Trump’s trip to China and discussions around Ukraine, NATO, and the regional situation, it feels like Iran is approaching a decision point: come to the table seriously, or face the consequences.

Meanwhile, Gulf states have tried to form coalitions, but those efforts have not held strong. Once again, it seems America and Israel must stand firm together. Oil prices, Iran’s collapsing economy, and global security are all tied into this moment.

Israel is also moving toward producing more of its own weapons, reducing dependence on others. Some will like that, some will criticize it—but Israel gets blamed no matter what. That’s just the reality we’ve learned.

People shout “genocide” at Israel, but that accusation collapses under the facts. Israel warns civilians, feeds enemy territory, allows surrender, and targets terrorists—not an ethnicity. The deception is horrible.

So choose where you stand: with truth, or with lies.

Psalm 110:1 says: “The Lord says to my Lord: Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”

That day is coming.
