Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Conducts Large-Scale Missile Drill in Show of Force

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) carried out a massive, multi-day missile test in show of military force amid tensions with the Gulf, Israel, and the United States.


The IRGC conducted a very large military drill this week that involved both ballistic missiles and drones. The drill took place in the central region of Iran, and is considered to be a show of force amid the Islamic Republic’s ever-growing tension with Israel, several Gulf States, and the United States. One source even suggested that kamikaze drones were involved as footage revealed drones seemingly dive-bombing their targets.

Iran’s drill was called the Great Prophet 15, and according to leaders of the IRGC, was for the purpose of revealing the IRGC’s capabilities of neutralizing enemy threats on land and sea, though the regime insists it has no intentions of going on the offensive despite numerous threats to destroy the nation of Israel.

Some of the artificial targets included those located in the Indian Ocean, which required the projectiles to travel over 1,100 miles.

Surface-to-surface ballistic missiles targeted artificial enemy assets. And one of the ballistic missiles involved in the drill, the Dezful, is reported to have a surface-to-surface range of 700 kilometers (430 miles) and explosive content weighing in at 450 kilograms, or nearly 1,000 pounds. However, this isn’t the IRGC’s longest-range missile, as it obtains at least one projectile allowing it to target enemies up to 2,000 kilometers (over 1,200 miles) away.

With the exit of the Trump administration, along with its ‘maximum-pressure campaign,’ and soon arrival of the Biden administration, the Islamic Republic has become even more emboldened in recent weeks.

‘They Want Us To Shut Our Mouths’: Large Banks Debanked, Discriminated Against Customers For Christian Views

Nine of the nation’s largest banks relied on subjective decision-making and the opinions of advocacy organizations to terminate customer accounts or deny service to potential customers—often because of Biblical beliefs on key moral issues—between 2020 and September 2025. The findings, released Wednesday, were part of a report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury that charters, regulates, and supervises banks and federal savings associations.

No More Excuses Or Theological Gymnastics: Christians Are Called To Love The Jewish People

I love all my brothers and sisters in Christ, but I’m wounded when I hear fellow believers dismiss or attack Israel and the Jewish people. The laundry list of excuses for this behavior includes many acrobatic contortions of Scripture that distance Christians from Jewish people. Antisemitic tropes also play a part in these condemnations. So does misinformation about the Jewish nation, as many Christians understand little of the State of Israel’s history of fighting for its life in defensive wars. They look at the nation’s activity in Gaza and Iran as an unforgivable sin because of the negative optics of military conflict, and they refuse to honor Scripture’s call to bless His Chosen People—even those who have never set foot in Israeli land.

In A Culture Of Trendy Lies, It Is Time To Speak Up More Clearly In Support Of Israel And The Jewish People

We must remember our friends and our allies around the world—particularly Israel and the Jewish people, the one distinct ethnic group of people about which God tells us in His Word to bless and to support. In Genesis 12:3, what did God say to Abraham? “I will bless those who bless you.” Yet many people these days, including a lot of Christians, think that it is trendy, intellectual-sounding, or will garner clicks to oppose things all related to the Jews. Anti-Semitism is on the rise around the world. 2025 was designated by the Anti-Defamation League as the deadliest year of anti-Semitism. Three months after October 7th in 2023, anti-Semitism had risen 360%.
