A testimony we received from a friend in Iran describes a difficult situation during the days when the protests peaked: repression forces, many of them in civilian clothes, shot anyone who appeared on the street – including in side alleys and through house windows. A neighbor of his family was injured by a bullet that entered his home. According to him, an unknown gas was used that caused vomiting and prolonged dizziness, and it was even thrown into houses. Security forces broke into homes with vehicles and batons, arrested fugitives and also those who helped them. In hospitals, anyone who arrives with gunshot wounds or gas suffocation is arrested – even if injured at home – so many avoid seeking medical treatment. One case known to his family: a young man who was killed by gunfire minutes after leaving for a protest. His body was brought to a hospital, where it was not treated or returned to the family. The regime held it for six days, and in the end it was released only for a sum of money, stitched up – and the family suspects organs were taken. They were forbidden to hold a ceremony and were required to bury immediately. According to him, a de facto military regime prevails in the cities. In the evenings, the streets are empty, businesses are closed, and warnings were broadcast over loudspeakers that anyone who goes out will be shot. Shortages are increasing, food prices are rising, and there is difficulty finding oil. The public buys only basic products. He describes a general atmosphere of mourning: many families lost relatives, continuous gunfire was heard at night, and state television showed corpses – which increased fear. According to him, the regime is not impressed by Trump’s threats and is carrying out secret executions. From their impression, none of the protesters in Tehran were armed. All footage of “armed protesters” – they claim – are regime agents in civilian clothes. Many believe that a large part of the repression forces are not even Iranian, and the cruelty reminded them of ISIS. Currently, there are no widespread protests – only calls from homes. The public is desperate: “There is no hope, only fear and sadness.” They did not really rely on Trump’s promises either, but were surprised by the scale of the massacre. There is even concern that the regime is listening to calls abroad. (Iran news) |

World Economic Forum: “The Iranian Foreign Minister will not be attending Davos. Although he was invited last fall, the tragic loss of lives of civilians in Iran over the past few weeks means that it is not right for the Iranian government to be represented at Davos this year.” 1 Like

Russia is experiencing one of the harshest and most extreme winters in recent memory - especially on the Kamchatka Peninsula. What began as a winter storm has turned into an apocalyptic reality, as entire neighborhoods are being buried under massive mountains of snow, in some places reaching the height of the fourth and even fifth floors. It seems as though all of Russia’s snow decided to fall on this remote peninsula, turning daily life for residents into a constant struggle for survival.

Trump's watery promise of help has led to the death of thousands of Iranian protesters. One thing I hate about that man is that he talks too much...like he has a leak somewhere in his mouth. If the Israeli PM had 50% of America's weapons he'd have reduced the Iranian regime to rubbles by now. And he'd have done it without too much blabs. |

Thousands of ISIS members are fleeing from the Al-Hol prison camp in Syria after being released by the new jihadist regime. ISIS is once again being empowered by Turkey inside Syria, rapidly seizing territory. They already have Raqqa, and large parts of the country are at risk of falling under their control.

THE NEXT WAR? In light of Europe’s reaction to American interest in Greenland, is it possible that NATO may cease to exist in the near future? And if so, could this free the Turkish leader to align with a Russian-led coalition against ISRAEL? BIBLE PROPHECY PLAYING OUT LIVE IN OUR EYES |

During a visit to the Home Front Command today, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says the military is prepared for defense against "multi-front threats," in an apparent reference to Iran amid the ongoing tensions. "In the face of the scope of the multi-front threats to the State of Israel, the Home Front Command stands on defense, is competent, trained, and on high alert. The command is prepared at all times to employ a wide range of capabilities to contend with an attack on the civilian home front and to save lives," Zamir says, according to remarks provided by the IDF. "At the same time, the IDF is prepared to employ an offensive capability unprecedented in its power against any attempt to harm the State of Israel," he continues. "We are prepared with full defense for any scenario," Zamir says, adding that the lessons from the 12-day war against Iran in June have been implemented, "and as part of this, the IDF is also preparing for the possibility of a surprise war." 1 Like

The Kurds in Syria are being pushed back into a shrinking enclave – mainly the Kobani area, where the heroic and decisive battle against ISIS took place a decade ago – as well as the regions of Al-Qamishli and Al-Hasakah. The United States has abandoned the Kurds and allowed a former Al-Qaeda commander – now presented as the new president of Syria – to move into their territory and release some of the most brutal ISIS terrorists, who had been held in maximum-security prisons. What happened to the Kurds should be a clear warning to Israel – the day is coming when we must not count on anyone else to stand with us. That day is approaching. And when it does – GOD will show up in a STRONG and MIGHTY way. Amir T 1 Like

Meanwhile, Syrian President al-Sharaa held a phone call today with U.S. President Donald Trump in which they agreed on the importance of a united Syria and the rights of the Kurds (according to the announcement). It is not unlikely that al-Sharaa received a warning not to allow a bloodbath among the Kurds. As is known, American forces are still present in Syria. But just like with Iran - jihadists can say one thing and do another! 1 Like

The Kurds, the Alawites, the Druze, and the Christians were all massacred by the Islamist gangs of al-Julani – Trump’s new best friend. Israel borders the Syrian Druze community and has its own Druze citizens with strong family ties to those in southern Syria. Unfortunately, we neither border the Kurds nor have the green light from Washington to intervene in their situation. Turkey and Saudi Arabia are actively promoting the current Syrian regime – while a disastrous U.S. envoy serves as the liaison to the American administration. The entire Middle East is watching in shock and disbelief – as the U.S. administration betrays its closest allies in Syria. 1 Like |

U.S. President Donald Trump: "I had a very good telephone call with Mark Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO, concerning Greenland. I agreed to a meeting of the various parties in Davos, Switzerland. As I expressed to everyone, very plainly, Greenland is imperative for National and World Security. There can be no going back - On that, everyone agrees! The United States of America is the most powerful Country anywhere on the Globe, by far. Much of the reason for this is a rebuilding of our Military during my First Term, which rebuilding continues at even more expedited pace. We are the only POWER that can ensure PEACE throughout the World - And it is done, quite simply, through STRENGTH! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP." 1 Like
