State Dept. Official Claims Hezbollah is Storing Ammonium Nitrate Throughout Europe

Nathan Sales, a senior US Counter-Terrorism State Department official, has accused the Iranian-sponsored terror regime of storing ammonium nitrate throughout Europe; Sales: Hezbollah is one organization. It is a terrorist organization.


Accusing the Iranian-backed terror regime of Hezbollah, senior counter-terrorism official Nathan Sales made claims that theyโ€™re storing ammonium nitrate in a significant number of places throughout Europe. Ammonium nitrate can be and has been used to numerous times to create explosives. And most recently, the substance was involved in the massive explosion in the Port of Beirut, Lebanon.

According to Sales, the terror group is stashing the nitrate in Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and perhaps even other places โ€“ and has been for some time. And following their pattern in the Middle East, Sales said, โ€œWhy would Hezbollah stockpile ammonium nitrate on European soil? The answer is clear: Hezbollah put these weapons in place so it could conduct major terrorist attacks whenever it or its masters in Tehran deem necessary.โ€

Several countries have banned Hezbollah after designating the group as a terrorist entity while many others have failed to do so. Furthermore, some countries have only designated Hezbollahโ€™s military wing as a terrorist group, but not the political. And concerning such a decision, Sales added that Hezbollah is a โ€œunitary organization that cannot be subdivided into a military and so-called political wingโ€ฆ Hezbollah is one organization. It is a terrorist organization.โ€

Most recently, France failed to label the entity as a terrorist organization.


HD Editors Note: What Does This Have To Do With Bible Prophecy?

In Matthew 24, the disciples ask Jesus, โ€œWhat shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world?โ€

Jesusโ€™s response is a detailed description of the condition of the world and what it will look like in the last days. Wars and rumours of wars, nation rising against nation, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, these being the beginning of sorrows. He depicts persecution and an abounding iniquity that would cause the love of many to wax cold and divisions that would cause loved ones to betray one another.

In Luke 21:25, Jesus says,ย โ€œThere will be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earthย Distress of Nations with Perplexity, the seas and the wave roaring.โ€

With the current global state of turmoil amongst the nations, and we canโ€™t help but recognize the distress of nations Jesus describes in Luke 21 and Matthew 24, matching what we see today.

Just as the psalmist tells us to lift our eyes, so does Jesus instruct his believers in the face of the times we are living in โ€œWhen these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.โ€ (Luke 21:28)

Confronting Modern-Day Battles With Eternal Truth

The greatest thing that you can do right now is to say, โ€œLord, here I am. Send me.โ€ When you do that, expect Him to work in and through your life. From the moment you pray that prayer, be looking for an open door to speak up, to show up or to stand up. Most often in my own life, when I have prayed that prayer, God has not failed to present an opportunity that gets my attention. And when it does, I know He will fill my mouth with His truth to speak to that issue. It could be among my family, within the city council, a school board, our state capitol or even our nation. God has raised each of us to serve a particular purpose that will glorify Him, and I encourage you today to determine to be a person who seeks to fulfill that purpose.

A Vital Promise Ignored: Most Churches Effectively Silence Our Biblical Hope In Jesusโ€™ Appearing

An expression dating back to 1512 is: โ€œThrowing out the baby with bath water.โ€ The idea is that if you think part of something is bad, donโ€™t throw it all away. Is that not what many pastors do today? Because they fear the negative results of mentioning the dreaded word โ€œRaptureโ€ from the pulpit, they refuse to talk about what happens when Jesus appears: our bodily transformation. The essence of our โ€œblessed hopeโ€ goes out the window along with any mention of Jesusโ€™ appearing. Most churches effectively silence our biblical hope in Jesusโ€™ appearing.

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 worldโ€”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? โ€œI will bless those who bless you.โ€ 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%.
