Update (Day 868) Swords of Iron – “Final Warning”

Everyone’s upping the stakes and issuing warnings.

Iran is warning the United Nations that if it is attacked, all foreign bases in the region will be considered hostile, and the USA is to blame for what happens.

Israel is issuing warnings as well. Our PM Benjamin Netanyahu says, “If you dare attack Israel, the IDF and the air force will strike in ways you could never imagine. Israel is stronger than ever. We’ve already dealt with Iran in a limited measure, but you’re going to experience something you’ve never experienced.”

Iran had better listen up. Trump is also considering a limited initial strike to push them to the negotiation table and make a deal; “Art of the Deal”, that’s what he does. The Wall Street Journal says if Iran refuses to stop enriching uranium, which they say they will continue to do—America will engage in a large-scale operation. How long? I don’t know.

Until Americans are ordered to evacuate, some argue it isn’t yet critical. Trump recently suggested a 10–15 day window before major decisions. Yet the U.S. Embassy has already moved up flights, and American-Israeli exchange students were sent home. That signals rising concern. These developments aren’t secret; every movement—ships, aircraft, deployments—is unfolding in full public view. This could grow quickly.

Still, we’ve seen what determination can accomplish. Of the 251 hostages taken, 168 returned alive and 83 were brought home for burial. That required resolve from the IDF and support from the United States. It was monumental.

Now there is discussion of a $10 billion “Board of Peace,” a possible 5,000-person U.S. military base in southern Gaza spanning more than 350 acres, and an international stabilization force. Plans reportedly include hardened bunkers, weapons storage, reinforced perimeter security, and advanced geophysical sensors to detect tunnels. Contractors are already preparing. This is really cool.

You can see we’re still finding tunnels underneath Gaza. Our guys in Yahalom found another Hamas tunnel—boom—under Beit Hanoun. And guess what? It’s going bye-bye.

Shabbat is here, and I’m thankful for the good guys who stand together and stay strong—for standing up, for once, and not being wimps. That’s what’s happening right now, and I’m thankful.

In the Book of Jeremiah, chapter 51, verses 19 through 21, it says: “Jacob is not like them, for he is the former of all things. Israel is the rod of His inheritance; the Lord of hosts is His name. You are My battle axe and weapons of war; for with You I will break in pieces the nations. With You I will destroy kingdoms—[kingdoms of evil, of course]. With You I will break in pieces the horse and its rider. With You I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider.”

That, my friends, is what’s going to happen to the ballistic missile system of Iran, of the IRGC—and it will free the people of Iran. Yeah.
