TRENDING:

As The US And Israel Continue To Deliver Crushing Blows, Iran’s Mullahs Remain Locked In Full Denial

The Iranian regime spent the weekend reminding everyone why Operation Epic Fury was necessary. Intentionally targeting civilians, attacking holy sites in Jerusalem, firing long-range missiles at a US base, and taking aim at Israel’s Dimona nuclear reactor, Iran’s regime once again showed its true evil face.

Could you imagine this radical Islamic death cult with nuclear weapons? That is why President Trump felt he had to take action. The US military, along with Israel, has spent the past three plus weeks obliterating the imminentโ€”yes, imminentโ€”Iran threat, and now we could be on the verge of a cease-fire.

On Saturday, President Trump promised to bomb Iran’s power plants if the regime did not open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. Then this morning, the President posted: “I am pleased to report that the United States of America and the country of Iran have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.”

“Based on the tenor and tone of these in-depth, detailed, and constructive conversations,” he wrote, “which will continue throughout the week, I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.”

President Trump told reporters on Monday, “Tomorrow morning sometime, their time, we were expected to blow up their largest electric generating plants that cost over $10 billion to build. It’s a very good one. There was no dearth of money. One shot, it’s gone. It collapses. Why would they want that? So they called, I didn’t call. They called. They want to make a deal, and we are very willing to make a deal. It’s got to be a good deal, and it’s got to be no more wars, no more nuclear weapons. They’re not going to have nuclear weapons anymore. They’re agreeing to that; any of that stuff is no deal.”

Now, Iran’s regime denies that any such talks have taken place, but they’re not exactly a trustworthy bunch.

The President told CNBC today that he feels we essentially have regime change already in Iran, with most of the country’s top leaders eliminated over the past 24 days, and its military capabilities severely crippled by the massive US and Israeli onslaught.

If the regime, as we know it, is on its last legs, it attempted this weekend to go out with a bang. On Friday, missile fragments from an Iranian launch landed near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City. That same day, Iran fired two ballistic missiles that traveled some 2,500 miles, targeting the joint US-UK Diego Garcia military base in the Indian Ocean. Iran had previously denied having missiles with that kind of range. Now we know that they do have them, which means they can hit practically all of Europe. Again, imminent threat.

The US and Israel are taking down the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism. This regime is a demonic death cult. These are modern-day Nazis.

Don’t misunderstand what they are all about. This is a regime that has attacked across the Middle East and killed thousands upon thousands. They have killed many Americans, in particular US soldiers in Iraq. They have plotted to assassinate President Trump. And let’s not forget, they were developing nuclear weapons that no doubt they would have loved to use against Israel and the nation they refer to as the “great satan,” the United States.

This operation between Israel and the United States is long overdue. It reminds me of Psalm 6:10: “All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.” I can’t think of a better description of what is happening to Iran’s regime.

Obviously, that did not work, not because of the best efforts of the United States or the Trump administration, but because we are dealing with an apocalyptic jihadist death cult.

Political Division, Persecution, And War: How Bible Prophecy Changes Our Perspective On World Affairs

As history hurtles toward the Last Days, we find ourselves trying to navigate through an increasingly hostile world. Politics are dividing our country and even our churches.
