Countdown: We Are In The ‘Final Moments’ To Thwart A Nuclear Iran, Trump Warns

Robert Gottselig

As Iran nears the finish line to obtain nuclear weapons, US President Trump is warning that the world is down to its “final moments” to intervene. While expressing his preference for a peace deal over military action, Trump maintained that significant developments are imminent.

“U.S. President Donald Trump hinted [earlier this month] that the United States could take military action against the Iranian nuclear program ‘very soon’ if the Islamic Republic does not strike a deal with the United States,” The Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) reported. “Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said that there would be ‘interesting days ahead’ with respect to Iran.”

President Trump went on to tell reporters: “We’re down to final strokes with Iran. We’re down to the final moments. We’re at the final moments. Can’t let them have a nuclear weapon. We have a situation with Iran that something’s going to happen very soonโ€”very, very soon. Hopefully, we could have a peace deal. I’m not speaking out of strength or weakness. I’m just saying, I’d rather see a peace deal than the other, but the other will solve the problem.”

Iran is the main reason for what’s happened in Gaza, Lebanon, and throughout the Middle East. Tehran is the number one state sponsor of terror, which issues an ongoing call for the death of America and the death of Israel.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, in a speech last November, insisted: “The enemy did not win in Gaza. The enemy did not win in Lebanon. The enemy will not win in Gaza and Lebanon. What they have done is no victory. It is a war crime. They issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu. This is not enough. [He deserves] the death sentence. A death sentence should be issued for these criminal leaders. As wide as the resistance axis is today, it will expand several times more tomorrow.”

The crowd, which included top Iranian Generals, enthusiastically responded to Khamenei’s statements, repetitively chanting: “Allah Akbar! Khamenei is the Leader! Death to those who oppose the rule of the Jurisprudent! Death to America! Death to England! Death to the hypocrites and the infidels! Death to Israel!”

This is the mindset of this demonic regime. To make matters worse, they are hellbent on their desire to build a nuclear bomb. According to reports, Iran already has enough 60% enriched uranium, which can very quickly be converted to a weapons-grade 90%. They also reportedly have enough of that material to build six nuclear warheads. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump have vowed that that will never happen. It seems the world is witnessing a countdownโ€”to either a peace deal with Iran, which is not likely, or a military strike on their nuclear program.

Israel, with the backing of the United States, can, at the very least, set Iran back decades through military action. Even if Israel doesn’t destroy everything, it can certainly destroy the ability of Iran to access their nuclear facilities, which are all hidden deep underground.

Everything is in order to carry out these military actionsโ€”from the bunker-busting bombs that Israel has received from the United States to the planes with refueling capabilities. Most importantly, Israel now has the backing and maybe even the assistance of the United States. The only question remaining is: when?

As Trump has said, “We’re down to the final Strokes with Iran.” When your enemies are developing weapons of mass destruction to use against you, suddenly, their constant threats can no longer be considered hollow.

What does God have to say about all of this?

Jeremiah 31:35-36 reads, “Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.”

Iran is not only putting itself on a collision course with Israel and the United States, they’re putting themselves on a collision course with the God of this universe: the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The Bible says they are going to lose. That’s what we read in Ezekiel 38-39, which describes a yet future war where Russia, Iran, Turkey, and others come against Israel. This prophecy also has broader implications for the current nuclear tension. In the event that Israel and the United States take out Iran’s nuclear program, or even the regime itself, according to Bible prophecy, Iran will still live to fight another day. The fight will only cease when Iran is ultimately destroyed by God Himself at the end of the Ezekiel 38-39 war.

A strike against the regime’s nuclear program will undoubtedly fuel Iran’s appetite for revenge and destruction, as we read in Ezekiel 38-39. The things we are witnessing today are setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.


High Time For A History Lesson: Who Is The Greatest Obstacle To Peace Between Israelis And Arabs?

On Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back against former President Barack Obama, who accused Israel of taking Palestinian land during a visit to Northern Ireland. The Israeli PM declared that โ€œthe Jewish people are not foreign occupiers,โ€ but have ancestral connections to this Biblical land stretching back โ€œthousands of years.โ€ The greatest obstacle to peace, Netanyahu said, is not Israel, but the refusal of its enemies to recognize the Jewish people's right to a sovereign state. Last time I checked, Israel not only agreed to and crafted agreements to develop Palestinian self-determination, but it has shown up to every negotiation.

Devaluing Life To Gain Votes?: Victorian Premier Promises Free Abortions If Re-Elected

Anybody who understands the social pulse of Australia knows that the State of Victoria is the most socially progressive of Australiaโ€™s states and territories. Although many Victorians see that as positive, when it means the introduction of laws that directly oppose Godโ€™s principles governing life, believers see it as wicked. In a 15 October 2026 X post, Mr Carroll succinctly stated: โ€œAbortion is healthcare. Your bank account and your postcode shouldnโ€™t be a barrier. Weโ€™ll fix that.โ€ To avoid appearing one-sided in my criticism of Labor policies, I will point out that the opposition party (who have traditionally been fiscally and socially conservative) have indicated they will also pledge free abortions, much to the disappointment of supporters who have traditionally turned to them in order to act as a counterweight to the anti-God agenda of the Labor Party.

Franklin Graham: Jesus Is Coming Backโ€ฆ And Itโ€™s Not Going To Be Far Down The Roadย 

During a lengthy sit-down interview with Fox News Sean Hannity, evangelist Franklin Graham boldly detailed to a largely secular podcast audience the list of extraordinary evidence showcasing that our world is living in the season of Jesusโ€™ return. โ€œJesus is coming back,โ€ Graham declared. โ€œHe is going to come back, and He is going to establish His throne here. There's gonna be a new Jerusalem. He is coming down, and He is going to reign. That is going to take place. When that's gonna take place, I don't knowโ€ฆ but it's not gonna be that far down the road. Jesus told us to look for signs. In Matthew chapter 24, He gives us great examples of what's coming and what we ought to be looking for. If you look today, [you can see] the signs.โ€
