Iran

A Baffling Deal With The Most Untrustworthy Regime On The Planet

It's not hard to imagine what Iran's regime will do with a financial windfall of hundreds of billions of dollars. Again, they will lie low as much as they can until Trump leaves office, and then they will resume pouring those newfound billions into rebuilding their nuclear and missile programs and funding the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah. President Trump is no dummy. He knows what Iran's regime is all about, but it seems the economic factor loomed large here. He warned yesterday of a “global depression” if the Iran issue was not resolved soon.

Capitulating To The Enemy?: The Good, The Bad, And The Unknown In The Memorandum of Understanding

Have you ever had a person in your life that you greatly admire and respect do something that completely shocks you, and not in a good way? Your heart breaks; you wonder what’s happened. How could this person do these things? It makes no sense! That is how I have felt these past few weeks as I’ve watched the actions taken by President Donald Trump. I love the man. He has done so much for my country, especially when it comes to how we’ve dealt with Gaza. But his recent decisions regarding Iran have left me baffled.

Iran

The Iran Deal Leaves A Regime Standing That Fired Ballistic Missiles On My Children… Forgive Me If I Don’t Stand Up And Clap

My family spent weeks, like everyone else in Israel, listening for rocket alerts that went off day and night. I had to learn the geography of my own neighborhood in a brand new way. I know where the bomb shelters are. I know if my kids want to go to the park, to ensure that there is a fortified concrete shelter within a 90-second radius. Can you imagine that? The deal that's being celebrated may buy everyone in America 25 cents cheaper gas, but it's going to leave a regime standing that fired ballistic missiles on my children at two o'clock in the morning.

If America Empowers A Regime That Openly Calls For Israel’s Destruction, There Will Be Significant Consequences

There is also a biblical dimension that many Christians will immediately recognize. Genesis 12:3 records God’s promise to Abraham: ” I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you.” That principle has never been revoked. God’s covenant relationship with Israel remains intact. Any policy that strengthens Israel’s enemies while weakening Israel’s security should concern Christians who take Scripture seriously. This is not simply a matter of foreign policy. It is also a matter of biblical recompense for foolish actions that jeopardize Israel and the West.

Trump, Iran, And Israel’s Place In Future Bible Prophecy

I do not know what will happen in the coming days, weeks, and months in the war between Israel and Iran. But with history as our guide, we know that Iran will not give up on its desire to acquire nuclear weapons nor its desire to destroy Israel. With Scripture as our guide, we know the Persian state’s desire to inflict as much terror as possible on the Jewish state will not end until the Lord destroys it.

The Bottom Line: You Cannot Make Any Sort Of Credible Deal With A Modern-day Nazi Death Cult

President Trump seems to have had enough. Over the past two months, he has shown extraordinary patience in negotiating with Iran and trying to close a deal that would end the war. Even though Iran's regime violated the ceasefire time after time, attacking U.S. bases and our allies in the region, the president maintained that Iran wanted a deal and that progress was being made. Yet, something seemed to shift earlier this week when Iran shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz.

The Iranian Regime Is Not Interested In Making Peace; And That Doesn’t Shock Students Of God’s Word

The Iranian regime is not interested in making peace. That doesn't surprise most people, especially students of God's Word. They are master negotiators, deceivers, stallers, manipulators, and they are never going to give up their ambitions to destroy Israel, the “little Satan,” and the United States, the “great Satan.” As I've said many times, this is a spiritual battle. This is about good versus evil. Satan is alive and well, working in the sons of disobedience—as working overtime within the Iranian regime.

A Time To Act: Is Now The Moment For Netanyahu To Declare A New ‘Independence Day’ For Israel

President Trump says that Prime Minister Netanyahu will accept whatever deal his administration makes. Maybe, maybe not. Netanyahu could see the approaching November midterm elections in America and even Israeli elections in October, and declare that this is the moment for a new Israeli Independence Day. Netanyahu knows that there is a growing number of congressmembers who want to reduce Israel's dependence on the United States. Both the Prime Minister and Israel as a whole agree. In 1948, independence meant Israel would become a country—a new Independence Day means Israel gets to hit, and hit back hard, against any threat that thinks Israel shouldn't be one.

Iran’s Unprovoked Ballistic Missile Attack On Israel Is A Big Development, But Is Anyone Truly Surprised?

It is absolutely intolerable to have missiles raining down on your country. Would Americans just sit back and absorb ballistic missiles bombarding the U.S. mainland? Of course we wouldn't! Which is why it was so confusing when President Trump tried to restrain Israel, urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to respond to Iran's unprovoked missile attack. The president wants a deal with Iran—a deal which will not be worth the paper it's written on.

Western Civilization Depends On Ensuring That The Monsters Who Seek Our Destruction Never Prevail

As a practitioner, I can say confidently: America does not go looking for or create monsters to destroy, nor should it. During my time as Secretary of State, we didn’t start a single war and instead deterred many through American strength. Sometimes when we fight monsters, we do so ineffectively, or half-heartedly, or do not use the correct strategy or tools necessary to defeat them. But the nature of the world and our place in it has made our willingness to fight monsters when they rear their ugly heads an essential guarantor of our security and freedom.

Counting The Cost Of War: The Challenge Is Not Securing Peace, But Permanently Removing Iran’s Nuclear Pathway

President Trump has repeatedly stated that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. Yet the ongoing negotiations have produced no indication that Tehran is willing to abandon its nuclear ambitions. In fact, Iranian officials have repeatedly declared that retaining the ability to enrich uranium — and to possess enriched uranium — remains a non-negotiable red line. The opposite side of Iran’s red line must remain a red line for the United States, as history suggests that when red lines become negotiable, they become greenlights for aggression by adversaries.

I Believe The President Has Earned The Benefit Of The Doubt When It Comes To Iran

For all the commentary and hot takes over the long holiday weekend about a potential Iran deal, here's the bottom line: We still don't know what exactly an agreement will contain. But here's what we do know up front. During his first term, President Trump pulled out of the disastrous Iran nuclear deal that was negotiated by former President Barack Obama. It seems very unlikely that he would sign on to a new agreement that repeats Obama's mistakes. I believe the President has earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Iran. Over his two terms in office, he's made all the right moves against the regime.

In Mind-Boggling Move, Pope Leo Awards Top Iranian Regime Official With The Vatican’s Highest Diplomatic Honor

When I read it, I thought there was no way that such a lack of moral clarity—outright insanity—could be possible. Then I did some research, digging into multiple sources confirming that this top official from one of the world's most bloodthirsty regimes, that's fresh off slaughtering 43,000 of its own people in January alone (according to President Trump’s latest figures) is getting top honors at the Vatican.

Biblical Insight: No Matter The Iran War’s Outcome, It Will Not Result In A Lasting Peace

As Christians who believe in God’s prophetic Word in Scripture, we have a key piece of insight. Even if a deal of some fashion is reached, or better yet, regime change that embraces Israel and the West, lasting peace will not be the outcome. Ezekiel 38 and 39 tell us that Persia—modern-day Iran—will once again come against Israel in a future war, in another attempt to destroy Israel.

After 47 Years Of Iranian Games, Trump Makes Clear: The US Will Not Blink In The Face Of The Mullahs’ Antics

The Iran ceasefire is on “life support.” Those are President Trump's words after Iran's regime sent back a response to his proposed deal to end the war. Trump called the response “totally unacceptable” and made clear that he is not going to blink in the face of the mullahs' antics. This regime has been playing games for 47 years and has strung along seven U.S. presidents before Trump. But the time of reckoning is now at hand. The U.S. and Israeli militaries are on high alert to resume striking Iran.

Netanyahu Says Israel, U.S. In ‘Full Coordination’ As Iran Nuclear Talks Intensify

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel remains in constant coordination with the United States regarding Iran, emphasizing that there are “no surprises” between Jerusalem and Washington as reports swirl about a possible U.S.-Iran agreement aimed at ending the war before fully dismantling Tehran’s nuclear program.

Ideology And Miscalculation: What Trump Doesn’t Understand About Iran And Bible Prophecy

This is not just another war in the Middle East. What we are watching right now is not simply a military campaign but something much larger unfolding, something that at the very least raises the question of the Lord’s providence moving in real time. How this moment ends will determine what comes next, not just regionally but globally. Right now, Israel and the United States, under Donald Trump, have inflicted serious damage on Iran’s military capabilities and its proxy network.

Unexpected Opening For Gospel Outreach: Underground Church Thrives In Iran Amid War

Despite the devastation and uncertainty brought by the ongoing conflict in Iran, a remarkable spiritual movement is quietly accelerating beneath the surface. Christian leaders report that the nation’s underground Church is not only enduring—but growing stronger—amid the chaos.

Rubio Rejects Iran’s Extortion Scheme Over Strait of Hormuz

Speaking on Fox News, Rubio laid bare the true nature of Iran’s so-called “offer” to reopen the strait: “What they mean by opening the straits is, yes, the straits are open — as long as you coordinate with Iran, get our permission, or we’ll blow you up, and you pay us.”

Iran’s ‘Internet Pro’ Rollout Seen as Tool of Control, Not Freedom

Iran’s evolving internet policy underscores a broader trend among authoritarian regimes: leveraging technology not just to block dissent, but to shape narratives. By selectively amplifying regime-aligned voices while silencing others, Tehran appears to be constructing a digital ecosystem designed to project stability while suppressing unrest.

Teens Detained After Arson Attack On London Synagogue Possibly Linked To Iran

British police on Monday confirmed the detention of two teenagers over an arson attack on a synagogue in London, the latest in a series of incidents targeting the Jewish community, as investigators examine possible links to Iran.

Iran Is Learning The Hard Way… Nothing Can Thwart God’s Promises To The Nation Of Israel

It’s difficult to grasp how dramatically everything has changed since Hamas crossed the border into Israel on October 7, 2023. Hamas still exists and might rise again, but, for now, it is a shell of its former self. Hezbollah keeps finding and firing remnants of its old missile arsenal, but it has nothing like the stockpile it had just 2½ years ago. The new regime in Syria is wicked and dangerous, but it is not linked to Iran as the old Assad regime had been. The Houthis, the Shiite militias in Iraq, and other enemies of Israel still exist. But the Iranian regime that once fed and directed them has been shattered.

Warped Islamic Eschatology: Iranian Regime Hardliners Declare Trump To Be An Evil Apocalyptic Figure

The Iranian regime is viewing this conflict through their own eschatological lens—one which they truly believe they will be supernaturally rescued from. Islamic hardliners who hold to a view that Donald Trump is Dajjal are concentrated in large numbers in Iran and because of this, they will fiercely resist him, believing that the Mahdi and Isa will eventually sweep in and deal with the US/Israel coalition. If the regime falls, it may go some way to shattering their faith in this false apocalyptic vision. If the regime holds against the might of the US and Israel, unfortunately it will mean the narrative strengthens and the resistance grows.

US Navy Blockade Successfully Takes Control Of Iranian Ports In Another Effective Blow To Tehran’s Crumbling Regime

This move hits the remnants of the regime right where it hurts. The economic damage is estimated at approximately $435 million per day. Due to Trump’s reinvigorated sanctions, Iran is already broke. The government’s own internet blackout is harming the economy. And Iranian state media estimate it will take $270 billion to rebuild after the damage caused by American and Israeli bombing. The U.S. Navy now effectively controls the gates of Iran — or at least its ports — yet the Iranian regime refuses to acknowledge defeat.

A Hostile Iran, A Threatened Israel, And A World On Edge

For years, Iran has openly expressed its desire to wipe Israel off the map. And Israel’s greatest concern? That Iran might acquire nuclear weapons to turn that threat into reality. That concern isn’t irrational. While most nations view nuclear arms as a deterrent, Iran’s objective appears to be much more sinister. It aims to eradicate Israel, echoing the genocidal ambitions of Hitler. The world is watching. Oil prices have skyrocketed. Global markets are shaken. For students of the Bible, these events resonate with prophetic familiarity.

Instilling Fear And Suppressing Dissent: Iran Executions Surge To Highest Level In Decades

Iran executed at least 1,639 people in 2025, marking the highest number of executions since 1989, according to a joint report by the Norway-based organization Iran Human Rights.

In Under 40 Days, The World’s Number One State Sponsor Of Terrorism Has Been Brought To Its Knees

As part of the ceasefire, Iran has agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz and allow ships to travel through that vital waterway freely. Will they actually stick to that over the next two weeks? That remains to be seen. But clearly, the regime is a shell of what it was on February 28th. A nation of 93 million people with a massive arsenal of ballistic missiles and powerful friends in the form of Russia, China, and North Korea is now teetering on the brink.

Why the West Must Fight: Iranian Regime Lowers Military Recruitment Age To 12-Years-Old

In case you needed another reminder of the evil that the United States and Israel are up against, an IRGC terror organization official just announced that the regime has officially lowered its minimum recruitment age to twelve. Boys who should be kicking a soccer ball and running around a school playground are instead playing with weapons like RPG launchers.

Remarkable Resilience: A Brief History Of Christian Persecution In Iran

Christianity has existed in modern Iran for nearly 2,000 years. Long before the rise of Islam, Christian communities were already flourishing in the Persian Empire. Over centuries, these believers endured waves of suspicion, discrimination, and persecution. Yet despite political upheaval and government repression, Christianity has survived in Iran and continues today through both historic communities and a growing underground church.

The Art Of No Deal: Iran, Trump, And The Price Of Negotiating With Terrorists

Ecclesiastes says that there's a time for all things. There's a time for peace and a time for war. The Biden error was believing that you could have one without the credible threat of the other—and we saw what that produced. We saw what it did in Kabul. We saw what it did in Kyiv. We saw it in the Kibbutzim in southern Israel. Iran has been a clear and present danger for 47 years. We can't neutralize evil by signing an agreement.

A World In Dire Straits: Iran Clings To Its Last Vestige Of Power

The Strait of Hormuz has remained at the center of escalating tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran for decades. Right now, the Strait remains Iran's most potent non-nuclear weapon. A desperate, weakened Iran, with fewer strategic options, sees the Strait as its last remaining leverage, a geographical choke point where it holds a strategic advantage.

Courtesy Of The US And Israel, A Collection Of Butchers, Jihadists, And Modern-Day Nazis, Are Now Facing Judgment

The regime's leadership is being taken out one by one. In just 19 days since Operation Epic Fury began, Iran's Air Force, Navy, and missile defenses have all been destroyed. Its ballistic missile and drone launches have also plummeted. The US and Israel, working side by side, are completely obliterating Iran's entire military and terror infrastructure in stunning fashion. President Trump posted on Wednesday that "the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism" is being put "out of business."

Russia Deepens Military Support To Iran Amid Escalating Conflict — Report

Officials say Russia has also supplied Iran with detailed intelligence on U.S. and allied military positions, including sensitive radar installations in countries such as Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman. This intelligence support is believed to have contributed to more precise Iranian strikes in recent weeks, particularly against early-warning defense systems.
