Missiles, Warnings, and a Countdown to Conflict

U.S. Repositions Amid Looming Iran-Israel Clash

By Tania Curado-Koenig | June 2025

Washington, D.C. — The United States’ decision to redirect 20,000 anti-drone missiles from Ukraine to the Middle East has sent shockwaves through diplomatic and military circles, triggering concerns of an imminent regional war. While the Pentagon has yet to confirm the final destination of the munitions, multiple Israeli officials have acknowledged that the bulk of the shipment is being integrated into Israel’s air defense system — a sign that the threat from Iran and its regional proxies is now considered immediate.

The missiles, designed to intercept Shahed-type drones, had been previously allocated to Ukraine. Their sudden diversion, confirmed on national television by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, marks a rare public acknowledgment of shifting U.S. priorities. “This morning, my Defense Minister informed me that the United States had redirected 20,000 missiles to the Middle East,” Zelenskyy told ABC’s This Week on June 8.

Israel Moves to High Alert

According to The New York Times, Israel has formally notified U.S. officials that its military has completed operational planning to strike Iranian nuclear sites, particularly the underground facilities at Fordow and Natanz. Defense analysts in both Washington and Tel Aviv confirm that Israel has repositioned key assets across its northern and southern fronts, reinforcing air defense systems and elevating surveillance across hostile borders.

In an unusual move, the U.S. Embassy in Israel issued a travel restriction advisory to its personnel on Wednesday, prohibiting non-essential movement outside of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Beersheba. The alert follows a series of escalatory warnings from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its affiliated militias across Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen.

Trump Responds to Evacuations

While the Trump administration has maintained a tight lid on active operations, President Donald Trump made headlines Wednesday night when questioned during a red carpet appearance about the rapid evacuation of American citizens from the Middle East.

“This can be a dangerous place,” Trump said. “We’ve received warnings. You’ll have to wait and see.”

The comment came just hours before classified briefings were delivered to congressional defense committees regarding Israel’s military readiness and Iran’s nuclear acceleration.

Iran Escalates Rhetoric and Enrichment

An Iranian official responded Thursday, calling Israel’s posture “bluster” and accusing Washington of leveraging military threats to gain concessions at the negotiating table. “They want us to fold on our demands,” he said. “But we won’t.”

At the same time, Iran has announced that it will replace all first-generation centrifuges at its Fordow nuclear site with sixth-generation models — a move likely to provoke formal condemnation by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), whose Board of Governors remains in emergency session in Vienna.

Strategic Implications

The Biden administration, in its final year, had authorized the now-diverted missile shipment to Ukraine. That shipment never arrived in full, and under President Trump’s current national security calculus, those resources have been repurposed to the Middle East — indicating a major reassessment of risk.

What this shift confirms is that Israel is now the central front in the eyes of U.S. defense planners. With growing threats from Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iranian-backed militias, the decision to preemptively strengthen Israel’s defense grid appears aimed at preventing a worst-case scenario: a surprise, multi-front missile and drone assault.

A Remarkable Strategic Feat

Though it has drawn relatively little media attention, the speed and scale of this transfer were extraordinary. According to multiple U.S. and Ukrainian sources, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the redirection of the 20,000 anti-drone missiles on June 4, 2025. Just four days later, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy confirmed the diversion publicly on June 8. Moving tens of thousands of guided munitions — including advanced APKWS systems — within such a narrow timeframe reflects not only high-level coordination but urgent strategic readiness. For many military analysts, it stands as a rare example of American logistical and political clarity in a moment of rising global tension.

A Rapidly Narrowing Window

U.S. and Israeli military officials remain tight-lipped about possible timelines, but multiple diplomatic sources suggest that the window for diplomacy is closing fast. Should the IAEA issue a formal ruling of non-compliance — expected within days — the Trump administration may use it as legal and political cover to announce the end of nuclear negotiations with Tehran.

Such a move would likely be followed by either a unilateral Israeli strike or a joint allied operation against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

A Call to the Church: Pray for President Trump

As the situation intensifies, the role of President Donald Trump in repositioning U.S. support toward Israel must not go unnoticed. After the failure of Steve Witkoff’s backchannel diplomacy — which left Israel isolated and vulnerable — the Trump administration’s recent actions mark a return to clarity, urgency, and covenant-based alignment.

For the Church, this is a critical moment. While political leaders calculate strategy, God’s people must engage in intercession. President Trump is carrying the weight of volatile decisions that could reshape the region — and history.

He needs wisdom. He needs protection. He needs prayer.

And Israel does too. As tensions rise and a multi-front war looms, we must pray not only for President Trump but for Israel’s national leadership, its citizens, and especially the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Their readiness, courage, and protection are essential in the days ahead. The Church must stand in the gap, interceding boldly for Israel’s safety and for the clarity of God’s purposes to prevail in the land He calls His own.

Fight, Fight, Fight For The Soul Of America

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

To Moral Conservatives everywhere.  Let me just say this to you. We’re all the same as conservatives, myself included. We win a small skirmish and we declare victory. It’s not a victory. We just won a skirmish. We didn’t even win a battle, and we certainly didn’t win the war.

Now is the time to continue to fight just as hard or harder than we did before because if there’s one thing I know, the radical leftist will continue to fight, just like their father, the devil.  They will fight, even though the public opinion is against them.  They know we as conservatives really just want to get along with all people, especially Christians. We must learn to be on the offensive and fight, and stand ready to fight again.  

We must mobilize the greatest army we have at our disposal.  The Church! Just because President Trump was elected does not mean things are going to get better. They may even get worse. Look at what’s going on with California, the Jihad that is already within our borders. But I will tell you this. Prayer and intercession will lead us to fight this spiritual battle. We will not win this with the government alone.  We will win with moral engagement by our Pastors and churches.  We will win with prayer and intercession in the Spirit. That does not mean we do not need to be engaged in the political arena. We must!  It is our sacred duty!  Pastors must lead their flock to keep them informed and equipped to fight this battle. Moral issues demand a moral answer and the answer is Jesus Christ. If your church, your pastor is not involved in  this fight, they are missing out on a glorious opportunity to win a victory for our children. Lead or get out of the way.  If you don’t, someone will, and they will receive your anointing and your victory.

God established good government.  How can it be good if we have ceded it over to Lucifer?  What we are fighting today are all moral issues.  That is right in the wheelhouse of Ekklesia. This is the church’s mandate  (Ephesians 3:10 to the intent now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.  Let’s do this.

  • Inform
  • Equip
  • Alert
  • Mobilize

Stand up, speak out, and make a difference.  With love and compassion.

Worldviews & Politics

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

By definition, a worldview must involve the “world.” A Christian worldview must therefore involve a Christian view of the world.

Politics is dirty. Politics involves power, and power corrupts. Thus Christians should steer clear of politics to avoid corruption. But by following this principle, Christians leave this power in the hands of corrupted men-corrupted men who often seek to suppress the Christian faith in culture.

Since many Pastors refuse to get involved, Christians don’t get involved. Let me say this plain, We have the government we deserve, because we have allowed corrupt and evil politicians to make evil laws. So often we wait till a crisis to get involved. Too little, too late? I think not! It’s time to…..

  • Get informed
  • Be equipped
  • Stay alert
  • Mobilize- make a difference

If you need help contact me, I have already walked this road. God is sovereign, but He wants us to partner to make a difference.

The War of Tariffs: How Far Can Ego Go?

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

By Tania Koenig

This is an excellent look at the turbulent times we live in and the uncertainty of our times. It truly is a war of the heavenlies. We must learn to fight the spiritual war. Rh

Donald Trump began his second term not just with political momentum, but with global reverence. At the 2024 reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, world leaders, kings, and queens stood to honor him—a gesture not born of ceremony, but of deep respect for his resilience. He had survived two assassination attempts, led a bold campaign against immense odds, and returned to the world stage carrying both gravitas and a defiant spirit.

Yet somewhere between honor and hubris, something shifted.

President Trump’s initial diplomacy toward Vladimir Putin gave way to frustration. After weeks of behind-the-scenes talks, he told NBC News he was now “very angry” with Putin, threatening a 50% tariff on countries purchasing Russian oil unless a ceasefire in Ukraine is reached. Curiously, however, Russia and Belarus—central actors in the conflict—were not included in the retaliatory tariffs announced earlier this month.

Markets took note. So did the nations.

The American dollar tumbled. The euro surged to $1.30, shaking investor confidence. U.S. consumers are bearing the brunt of rising costs. The tariffs, intended as leverage, are beginning to resemble self-inflicted wounds.

This is no longer just a war of policy—it’s a war of pride. And ego is proving to be the most expensive currency of all.

Trump famously declared, “This war should have never happened—and it wouldn’t have happened if I were President.” But today, with no ceasefire in Ukraine, no progress in Gaza, no clarity with Iran, and no breakthrough with Putin, those words ring hollow.

Let’s be clear: Iran is not a place for simplistic posturing. The Iranians are masterful negotiators, many holding PhDs in international relations, law, and economic strategy. But beyond academic credentials lies a deeper reality: they are heirs of the Persian Empire, one of the most sophisticated civilizations in history.

From the days of Cyrus the Great to the intricate diplomacy of the Safavid and Qajar dynasties, Persians have wielded power not just with might—but with strategy, patience, and psychological brilliance. They understand time as an ally, not an enemy. They see the West’s rush for resolution as a weakness, not a virtue. In every negotiation, they think in centuries, not election cycles.

You don’t outtalk Iran. You outlast them—if you can.

And China? Xi Jinping isn’t reading The Art of the Deal. He’s studying The Art of War by Sun Tzu—a manual on subtlety, misdirection, and calculated control. Xi doesn’t shout; he waits. He lets the West play a loud, short game while he plays a quiet, long one.

This is not just a political reckoning—it’s a spiritual one.

The Bible warns us: “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” — Proverbs 16:18

This is the moment the Church must rise—not to take political sides, but to take spiritual position. We must step into the role of watchmen, discerning the times, praying with authority, and calling leaders back to humility and wisdom.

Because this war—whether in Gaza, Ukraine, or global markets—will not be won in press rooms or tariff threats.

It will only be turned by divine intervention.

When diplomacy becomes theater, when world leaders are moved more by ego than wisdom, it is the Church that must return to the wall in prayer.

Because if the course ahead is left to ego, the world will fracture.

But if it is turned over to the Lord, we may yet see the kind of breakthrough that only Heaven can orchestrate.

Report Reveals How Ruthlessly The Biden Administration Persecuted Christian Education – Harbinger’s Daily

The numbers are shocking but hard to deny. According to new data obtained by APP, almost 70 percent of the Biden education bureaucracy’s “enforcement actions” targeted faith-based and career schools. For perspective, those categories represent less than 10 percent of students across the country.

Goodbye 2024

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Well at least we won an election! 2024 will be a watershed moment in time. Lots of horrible things have happened this year, and some very promising events as well. As Christian I am excited for the new direction of the country. The rise of immortality needs to be stopped if we have any hope of continuing as a country. God will never honor evil or the forced celebration of abominations. Being a Moral Conservative I abhor the direction our country is heading. Can it be changed?? Yes. Will it? I fear not, even though I realize and am encouraged over the move of God in some of our college campuses in 2024. At least 11 colleges have experienced a revival. Thousands have either accepted Christ, and or been baptized in water. Praise God!

Now for the hard part, America is not on the mend and no amount of hope can ever change our direction without a corresponding revival among churches. Our government is evil at the core. Ripe with greed and anti-christ motives. We must understand that NO politician is the answer, only God. I am elated that Trump won the election, however some of his policies and his stance on them have moved way too far to the middle. With that said our prayers need to be offered up for Trump and his cabinet. Pray for much better decisions and a backbone to stand for morality, and that he will govern as a true conservative.

2025 should be much better, and we can stop the decline of our country. But it will be a hard fight! We as Christians must learn spiritual warfare. It is a must. Here’s to a better America.

May the new year bring health and prosperity to all that follow and read my blog. Look for some new changes to my blog in the coming weeks. Rh

Teamsters Boss Blasts Kamala in Interview: ‘Who Does This Lady Think She Is?’

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Teamsters President Sean O’Brien told conservative host Tucker Carlson that Vice President Kamala Harris was arrogant and took support from organized labor for granted before her eventual loss in the November election to former President Donald Trump.

During an interview on Carlon’s show, O’Brien, who addressed the Republican National Convention in August, told Carlson that Harris said his union better “get on board” and that she was going to win the election with or without the Teamsters.

O’Brien told Carlson he was floored by the moment, saying, “Who does this f******lady think she is?”

First, O’Brien told Carlson that his union had asked Senator Joe Biden and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to answer questions about issues that were important to Teamsters members before they dropped their presidential bids.

There were sixteen questions. Trump and Kennedy answered all of them, while Biden only answered five, O’Brien said. O’Brien told a story about the vice president after Harris was chosen as her party’s candidate.

The boss of the Teamsters said he sent a female vice president of the union to meet her at an event.

O’Brien said when the union representative identified herself, Harris responded, “Teamsters? You better get on board, you’d better get on board. Get on board soon.”

“Says that to my vice president, to her face. So she comes back, we have a meeting the next and she tells me this. So I call up Marty Walsh, who was the secretary of labor but he was pushing hard for us to make the endorsement. I’m like, ‘Let me ask you a question, Marty.’ Excuse my French. “Who does this f*cking lady think she is?” Like, if I want support from any organization I am not going to point my finger in someone’s face and say “you’d better get on board or else.” But that’s the attitude of this whole party,” O’Brien added.

Look no further than this to see the attitude of the ruling class socialist who think they are entitled to governor. They got what they deserve, here’s hoping we can put an end to this idiotic attitude! Continue to pray for Trump’s success and safety. We have a long fight among us. Spiritual warfare must be done!!
