I thought you were a born-again Christian. As a follower of Christ, it's contradictory to rejoice over the death of innocent people. Did you know there are many Christians in Iran? Perhaps we should reflect on scriptures below.

It's concerning to see you rejoice over Israel's actions in Gaza, particularly harming women and children. Have you considered that not everything Israel does aligns with God's will? You might be celebrating actions that grieve God.

Let's revisit the scriptures and explore the relationship between God and Israel, especially in light of Jesus Christ's teachings. You seem to be idolizing Israel ; let's prioritize empathy, compassion, and understanding. DO YOU EVEN KNOW GOD IS LOVE AND HE LIVES IN US. You have a lot of work to do in yourself. Remove pride and think about this.

See scriptures to help you understand who the Jews are.

Galatians 3:7
Galatians 3:16
Galatians 3:26-29
Philippians 3:3
Ephesians 2:11-13
Ephesians 3:6
Hebrews 8:8-10
John 1:12:-13
Isaiah 10:22-23

The lives of the innocent Jews and Iran are all precious is God's eyes.
He is far from being a true Christian. He is just another religious fanatic who thinks he is doing God a service by unconditionally and blindly supporting IDF crimes against hapless Gazans.

By their fruits, you know them.

🇮🇷⚡- Several Iranian Navy vessels have been deployed into the Persian Gulf.
That's moving to phase two: Iranian closure of the Strait or a mapped out strike against US forces in the region.

I think it would be in Iran's best interest to play the waiting game with regard to responding to the US attack. Meanwhile, focus should be on attacking its primary troublemaker. That way, Trump and his war planners would lose their wit and look even more confused.

SITREP

The US struck Iran's nuclear sites.
It was inevitable.
A combination of MOPs and Tomahawk cruise missiles were used to strike 3 sites.
Fordow. Isfahan. Natanz.
There are more nuclear sites in Iran.

Trump claims all sites were completely destroyed.
Iranian sources claimed Fordow sustained minor damage.
Both are prelim statements.
Best to wait for proper reportage and damage assessments.

Iran has promptly wrecked Israel this morning.
They were going to do that regardless of the US bombing.
Do not interpret that as a response.

It appears that Iran is attempting to separate the Iran-Israel war from an Iran-US war.
Houthis have been activated.
And may fire the first salvo in an Iranian retaliation in the Iran-US war.

I anticipated a regime change operation.
That did not happen.
The US is saving that as a subsequent response.
That is a strategic mistake on their part.

Iran can now calibrate both wars on a tempo of its choosing.
Even without the express entry of Russia (😤) and China.
It is remarkable how their fortunes have changed.

-Lord
Trump have succeeded in giving the Iranians a nuclear weapon, and that's assuming if they don't have one already.

He fell for the trap. The worst thing that can ever happen to a country is to elect a leader that responds to geopolitical issues of grave consequence on the basics of emotions. Trump has failed in that regard.

Intel has it that US forces will eventually strike tomorrow Sunday. Well, let's see how it goes.

It seems Trump have eventually sucker up to the warhawks, the same people that almost killed him. Pathetic. I hope it's not true though.

Meanwhile, Iron Dome seem to be on vacation as Iranian missiles rain down hell across Israel. No wander they banned coverage of the strikes. This video is scary.

God will surely punish Netanyahoo for this destructions.

Prophetic Message for Israel 🔥

May God of Israel strengthen wherever they are weak in this fight against Iran .


Exodus 15:2 - The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.
There will be no one to help them. The LORD is a just God. He hates these seven things: eyes that show pride, tongues that tell lies, hands that kill innocent people, hearts that plan evil things to do, feet that run to do evil. Netanyahu!!!.

The trouble he causes recoils on himself; his violence comes down on his own head. Psalm 7:16

That was when I was much younger. Not anymore. Going forward, I'm all for the economic prosperity of the Black race. Anything else no too concern me. Historically, the West hasn't been fair to Africans cum Black people, and this continues to date. If not tell me why the US is warning Nigeria against Chinese investments in the mines sector whereas NO AMERICAN FIRM (the only Western firm operating a mine is Canadian in Osun state - gold mining) is operating any mine or building any processing facility. Go to the Middle Belt (Nasarawa, Kogi and Niger), Chinese firms are operating mines, erecting factories and training people. One of such facilities pays minimum of 500K per month to graduates. These are investments and jobs. Yet the US is against such. Okay na, invest since you don't want China to play a role, mbanu! It's demonic!

Come September, AGOA will end and have to be renegotiated. I'm sure many African countries will lose eligibility because of one thing, one thing. Meanwhile, China has waived off import tarrifs on all goods exported from Africa. Tomorrow, they will say China is enslaving Africans. It's so annoying. I'm glad all their hypocrisies are aired live on social media. It wasn't like this during the '000s and 2010s.
I love your honesty and courage to say the truth.

What happened to the iron dome system? No body is even talking about it anymore, it's obvious some of the Iranian missiles are outmaneuvering the most reliable Israeli air defense systems?
This tells you no AD system is infallible. This is the age of missile and drone technology perfected in all ramifications.

What can an AD like Iron Dome do against a missile like the Russian KH-101 that fires flares when close to the target to deceive enemy's interceptors and hit the target with pinpoint accuracy? Or how do you cope with an Iskander M that maneuvers at different stages of its flight path. leaves it's enemy's AD chasing shadows? You can call the Oreshnik subzero.

Same applies to Iran's missiles and Israeli Iron Dome. Netanyahoo brought this pain upon Israel. He was too full of himself, a born liar, warmonger who exploit and escalate crisis to message and save his political career.

When Obama said Netanyahoo lies a lot, people thought he was being mean. Well, Biden came and said the same thing, and now people in Trump's inner circle have said the exact thing. He is been saying Iran is months away from a nuke since two decades ago, and is still saying the same today. He is the type of ruler that takes pleasure in destruction of lives and properties.

If after this war his political career doesn't end, then I don't know what else should save Israel from his trouble-driven politics.

So long as Netanyahoo is around, the Jews are in for a long ride.

JUST IN: Haifa Mayor after inspecting destruction from Iranian missile attack:

"I hope that the outcome of European negotiations with Iran will be peace. Trump said we should wait two weeks. But two weeks is too long, and in that time Israel could suffer even more destruction. All we see now is chaos and instability. It is time for real negotiations. Stability must be restored."


No be me talk am ohh The mayor knows the truth 2 weeks of this type of continuous missiles will be devastated for Israel.
When I told you that they would sue for peace, you think say na mouth?

They are trying hard to goad Trump into declaring s a war on Iran, but I thank God for forces like Gabbard and Rubio and Vance on his team, they're vehemently fighting back the pressure on the president. The AIPAC and the neocons ain't done though. They will stop at nothing to force the US into a fresh war. The coming weeks shall tell.

The military is advising Taco to use a tactical nuke according to Fox News . They’ve seen the precision of the Iranian missiles and realised they can’t win a conventional war. They know all their bases, embassies and ships are massive targets, now they want to use nuke. What happened to being the best military, do they know Isreal will be gone if they use nuke. Don’t they care about the promise land and gods chosen living there. No wonder taco invited the Pakistan army chief. Even if Iran doesn’t have nukes they can make a dirty bomb, put it in a couple of hypersonic missiles and the promise land is gone. Iranian Officials have said repeatedly they can make a nuke in weeks. Once taco goes nuclear what’s stopping china and Russia threatening Taiwan and Ukraine with nukes. The world will change and everyone will want a nuke. Dumb ass taco.
That recent MIRV strike Iran did has reset their brain. If the enemy is capable of a missile that carries multiple warheads, it only means one thing: that enemy has ICBM, and potentially weapons of mass destruction that can inflict equal or even greater damages in proportion to what they themselves can ditch out on it. Hence, their talk of using tactical nukes, which, in itself, is stupid because the possibility of a reprisal attacks from Iran is 80/100 percent chance of occuring considering that Iran has a large terrain and probably have several underground missiles bases spread across locations unknown to western intelligence networks like the CIA and Mossad.

Moreover, the recent massive strikes and bombardments Israel has received so far, coupled with the busting and clamping down of its sleeper cells within Iran shows that Mossad is not infallible in their assessments and overall operations with regards to Iran's missile capability. So, they would be left guessing and hitting their fists on the tables while Iran continues to pummel them from afar.

And the frustration gets bitter seeing that they are no longer able to take down majority of the recent Iranian missiles into Israel, not even with the backing of the western coalition.

Netanyahoo have succeeded in buying a market he can no longer bring to a close nor trade successfully.

In the end, they will cowardly settle for a negotiated ceasefire.

Iran is doing a very good job with whittling down on those guys. I am very surprised that they can be this effective at catching spies. Their only mistake is not doing this early enough. They should have started clamping down on them long before now. The number of Mossad spies in that country is just too much.
The Mossad infiltration level is alarming. It shows that Iran has a long way to go in counterintelligence operations. More need to be done to stem the infiltration and improve their own inner circle security and recruitment methods .

Netayanhu is powerful than Trump!
Trump is just dragging his feet and want a deal so tbe war can just end, but his Jewish Sponsors are hell bent on war and there is nothing he can do about it.
He is just so confused at the moment, praying Iran just surrender to save his ass.
He recently got a Huge Gift from the Qataris and a promise of Billions of USD in investments same as SAUDI.
These Arab Leaders are now scared of the Fallout because they know Iran will attack US bases in their Country and also their Oil Facilities.
So Trump is stuck in the Middle his Jewish Handlers are rooting for War and His Aza Men in the Gulf are advising him not to
I think that’s what making Trump drag his feet
You're spot on.

Many people did not even realize that, should the US enter the fray and Iran starts attacking those Muslim countries housing US bases in the ME, majority of the governments in those places would lose their powers. Their people will rise up against them for taking sides with what they all termed BIG SATAN (the USA) in support of SMALL SATAN (Israel), thus bringing destruction upon them. The region is very fragile politically and most of these ME governments knows this fact. Hence, they would do all that they can to avoid the war escalating to their home turf because if it does, sectarian violence driven by ideological hatred will be triggered and some governments will collapse. This is why Iran is very confident of its threat.

Who else noticed that Israel's airstrikes have reduced as Iran discovers more of these vehicles?
I thought I was the only one who noticed it.

The attack from within by these Mossad sleeper cells was the main reason why Israel was scoring points in attacks against Iran within Iran, after which they claim it's direct attacks from IDF fighter jets and cruise missiles. Of course, they do attack directly from the air, but with very little success to show for it, compared to when the Iranians attacked directly. Now that these cells are being busted, they are calling for the US to enter the fray. They wouldn't be calling big daddy if things are truly going their way.

shoodboi2:
Even the multiple shots are a wastage, particularly against Iran's hypersonic and maneuverable missiles like the Fattah-1. Israel fired 12 interceptors at a Fattah-1 missile and every single one missed.

In a normal scenario, it's usually 2 or 3 interceptors per missile, or at most, four. But firing a dozen and still missing is something else.

I'm sure they israel only fired 12 because they needed to reload. If not, they would've fired more than 12.

https://m.youtube.com/shorts/L_S7McyN4hI

The problem was that they underestimated Iranian missile capabilities, thinking it was a fluke. They took Iranian restraint last time they attacked each as weakness, and now, they're suddenly realizing that Iran is bigger than they imagine.


Fact is, only Russia currently have the capability to down hypersonic missiles. Israel is good at weaponry but what they have now is not enough to curtail missiles flying at hypersonic speed.


Netanyahoo and his war cult criminals miscalculated badly, bringing needless harm and destruction upon Israel. They were banking so much on their sleeper cells spread across Iran to counter and dismantle Iranian missile threat from within, as they launch the first attack. But, with the way their Mossad cells are being busted all over the place, things aren't going as planned. Hence, they resorted to drag in the US to finish what they started.

That is why the Russians can't be trusted.
Iran supported them alot during this ukraine conflict all just for them to stay idle and be watching.
Whatever deal US made with them against iran, they should know they will break it when they are through with iran and wants to deal with russia.
US is an unstable country to rely on. They have torn so many agreements against russia since 1991, they won't hesitate to do it again.
If iran goes down, russia will go down too sooner or later.
So, if someone tells you that Russia would abadone Iran to please America, you would believe it without thinking for yourself. Sometimes. I wonder how some of you can confidently jump to conclusions without critical assessment of the situation.

Russia is currently facing a war that same west brings upon it. Now, one of its own allies who helped in the course of the war is now facing similar threat from the US-led west, and you think Russia is like those Arab nations that would gladly abandoned them to die by themselves? I'm really disappointed.


Haven't you heard of psyops and disinformation? That's exactly what that Iranian ambassador to Russia is doing. Make it look like Russia isn't helping at all. The russians are doing the same thing by saying the Iranians have not asked for any help.

Think, man think. cool


This is how it is done so that the enemy would not preempt or put in place modalities that could mitigate whatever element of surprise the Iranians have up their sleeves. cool

I pray the US goes all in, the disgrace they would take home would be too callous to wit. grin

What are they hiding? I thought they said Iran was hitting civilian homes? Why don't they want to show it? Or is Iran hitting something else? 😂
Truth be told, the death toll fr Iranian strikes is huge. So huge that they're actively forbidden foreign journalists from filming them. The Shin Bet head that resigned recently has to throw in the trowel because a lot of his colleagues were killed in that strike on the ministry of defence. A THAAD and David Sling AD systems that were deployed there to save the people inside the building were altogether destroyed, which tells you the devastating outcome of the Iranian strikes so far.

When the head of such an important agency resigned in a time like this, you know a lot of negative things are happening to the country.
