War Update: Inside Israel 3/13/26

The American Perspective

Jesse Watters: “US intelligence believe the Iranians squirreled away what’s left of their uranium into what’s known as Pickaxe Mountain, a nearly impenetrable bunker buried deep in granite where evil scientists have been working around the clock, cobbling back together a program that was obliterated during Operation Midnight Hammer. The bunker busters might not be able to do the trick. Reports say special forces might have to be inserted to physically shut it down on the ground…Both sides waiting to see who blinks first. So far, the President says in a way, we’ve already won.” IMO This is where it gets tricky, troops on the ground operating in a hostile environment. The one thing Trump does not want, nor do the American people. But….it appears the options are not great outside physically getting the material by boots on the ground. Hopefully it can be done in a controlled situation. The situation must be monitored, and with a new regime it could be done relatively safely. Rh

President Trump:

We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily economically, and otherwise, yet, if you read the Failing New York Times, you would incorrectly think that we are not winning. Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth. We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time – Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today. They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Israeli Perspective

“The idea of the war works like this,” says a senior security official: with one hand we grip the regime’s throat with force. With the other hand we shake it unexpectedly, again and again and again, until its neck breaks.

The first hand is the structured military effort: first the air-defense systems, then the ballistic missiles, then the remnants of the nuclear project, and then the regime’s repression headquarters.

The second hand was the surprise Israel had planned.

The assessment in Israel is that even the military chokehold itself, if it continues as planned, will lead to irreversible damage to the regime. It is fascinating to see a boutique workshop and an industrial factory operating together, as they describe it in Israel. Our air force meticulously plans attacks that are enormous by Israeli standards, yet still rely on ingenuity – always squeezing 150% of the potential from equipment and munitions.

The Americans arrive and simply grind the targets into dust with disproportionate firepower. They have never heard of “munitions economy” (and they also do not tend to consult on everything with the military advocate general).

“War is not a program you can order according to your wishes,” Netanyahu said this week. Only state investigative commissions demand a detailed plan in advance that is fully realized. Of course there was planning. The prime minister despises PowerPoint presentations almost as much as he despises Khamenei, and for years he has been fighting a war against them in meetings, with limited success.

And yet, for his meeting with Trump at the White House exactly one month ago, he personally arrived with a seven-slide presentation detailing the full principles of the joint war effort.

“How are you holding up?” Trump asked, referring to two and a half years of war with another round still ahead.

“You are an ancient tiger with sharp teeth,” Netanyahu replied, “but we are the honey badger – a small animal, tough, but wild and relentless.”

The way the wounded Iranian beast fights the badger and the tiger is surprisingly similar to Hamas’s strategy. Sinwar counted on exploiting Israeli society’s sensitivity to its hostages and the Western public’s sensitivity to the killing of civilians.

The Revolutionary Guards, on the other hand, rely on Western sensitivity to rising energy prices and on dragging the conflict out over time.

In Israel, the new rule is to focus on accomplishing the missions rather than on the calendar:

not dates – processes.

(Amit Segal)

“The Americans didn’t believe we would succeed in the decapitation strike.  

We destroyed between 160–190 launchers, disabled another 200, and around 150 remain active. The missile crews are afraid to go out; there are desertions and refusals to follow orders. Every day we hunt down several launchers.  

We’ve entered a perhaps unheroic and monotonic stage of systematic destruction of command and control headquarters, military industry, and nuclear infrastructure. The Iranians have over 10,000 dead and wounded among their security forces.  

What is likely to follow after the war is a weakened regime, an economic blockade, diplomatic isolation, and eventually a revolution. The situation matches what we anticipated.”

Who is the Iranian Islamic Republic’s ayatollah, Mojtaba Khamenei? 

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Mojtaba is the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was eliminated in an Israeli strike at the start of Operation Roaring Lion; He is considered more extreme than his father

Well that’s not good news, someone more extreme than Khamenei.  It seems he might be responsible for the crackdown when protests began in January. Doesn’t bode well for regime change which is the priority, IMO.  But  you will get what you get in an Islamist republic. Rh

Mojtaba Khamenei was officially chosen Sunday evening as the Supreme Leader of Iran, according to state media. Mojtaba is the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an Israeli strike at the start of Operation “Lion’s Roar.”

A decision on the matter was supposed to be published last week, but was apparently postponed due to concerns he would be assassinated. Those responsible for the decision to choose Mojtaba are the Assembly of Experts, which Israel attempted to strike last week — 88 clerics who have the authority to determine the identity of the next leader.

Nevertheless, among the current leadership in Iran there are also opponents. The most prominent of them is Ali Larijani, the Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

In 2004, Mojtaba married Zahra, and in 2007 their first child was born. According to reports, he was forced to seek fertility treatment abroad, and earlier this week it was reported in Iran that his son and wife were killed in an attack alongside the former Supreme Leader and his wife.

He studied in religious institutions in the city of Qom and received approval as a cleric. He is close to the Revolutionary Guards and established his connections with those who would later become high-ranking members of the organization during the Iran-Iraq War. His wife and one of his children were killed in the opening strike of Operation Roaring Lion.

In recent weeks, claims have been made in Iran that Mojtaba played a significant role in suppressing the protests in January, coordinating actions with the Revolutionary Guards. If the regime maintains its current hierarchy, it is expected to make the country even more conservative, and is also likely to promote the election of conservative allies to key positions in the country, just as he promoted former Iranian President Ahmadinejad to his role.  I 24 Israeli News

Latest Update: Mojtaba has a broken leg and some type of eye injury and is the hospital. Maybe he is just scared about elimination. Hospital is a good place to hide. Rh

Prophetic Times: Elam??

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

As a prophecy buff and one who has spent hundreds of hours looking into prophecy, I’m not an expert but a student, these are exciting times. Some prophecy has clear signs to predict, however much of what I hear today is based upon people who have come late to the party. Disagreements are fine between prophecy experts on certain issues. I take to heart the saying “unity on the essentials, freedom on the non-essentials.

The subject of Elam which takes in a part of Iran has a prophecy which is confusing, or should I say has two different interpretations. One is that this prophecy has been fulfilled, another interpretation is that that it could be in the process of fulfillment in this war of today. Below is an excellent article that gives both sides. It’s a good read. I’ll not tell which side I take, you decide. Rh

Trump Being Trump 🤣🇺🇸🇮🇱🤣

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

A potpourri of Trump and his hilarious comments in his news conference news conference. He starts off on a serious note.  Latest that I heard was that he is right, it wasn’t ours. Enjoy. Rh

I haven’t seen it, and I will say that the Tomahawk—one of the most powerful weapons around—is used by, you know, sold to and used by other countries.

And whether it’s Iran, which also has some Tomahawks—I wish they had more—or whether it’s Iran or somebody else, the fact is that a Tomahawk is very generic. 

It’s sold to other countries. But that’s being investigated right now.

The hardest thing is to go to Dover because Dover is where, for the most part, a lot of the fallen—the warriors, the great young people who have died in war—seem to mostly go.

Trump on Iran:

Together with our Israeli partners, we’re crushing the enemy in an overwhelming display of technical skill and military force.

Iran’s drone and missile capability is being utterly demolished. Their navy is gone. It’s all lying at the bottom of the ocean—46 ships. Can you believe it?

In fact, I got a little upset with our people. I said, “What quality ship was that? Was it top of the line?” I asked, “Why did we not just capture the ship? We’re going to use it. Why did we sink it?”

He said it’s more fun to sink it. That’s what they said. They like sinking them better. They say it’s safer to sink them. I guess it’s probably true.

Their terrorist leaders are gone, or they’re counting down the minutes until they are gone. Think of it—we had leaders, and now they’re gone.

We had new leaders in their place. And now nobody has any idea who the people are who are going to be the head of the country. 

We will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated.

We’ve already won in many ways, but we haven’t won enough.

We go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory that will end this long-running danger once and for all.

If we didn’t do that B-2 attack, Israel would have been wiped out.

Trump on America

The United States of America is the greatest and most exceptional nation in human history, and we will not be threatened by evil terrorists and lunatics any longer.

Trump randomly decides to mock Macron again:

I called the countries up. I called up France. I said, “Emmanuel, you have to cut your… your good friends from America a reasonable deal. What’s happening is you are paying a tiny fraction for drugs as we…” “No, no, Donald, I cannot do anything about that.” I said, “Yes, you can. You can.” He said, “No, no, I will not do it. I will not do it.”

Because he’d have to raise his pill from 10 dollars to 20, and maybe even 30. Ours would come down from 130 dollars down to 20 dollars. Think of that—from 130, that’s what you’re gonna get—from 130 to 20. But he has to double his price from 10 dollars. And they were the boss. I said, “No, no, you will.” “No, Donald, Donald, I cannot do that.”

And I heard this from all the other countries, too. Very elegant people. And they were saying, “No, no, no, we cannot do this. We will not do this.” I said, “Yes, you will, 100%.” “No, no, we will not.” Because, you know, they have to double up their price.

And I said, “Well, here’s the story. If you don’t do it, I’m going to put, in the case of Emmanuel,” I said, “a 100% tariff on all wines and champagnes coming into the United States.” “No, no, Donald! You cannot do that!” I said, “I’ve already got the legislation, it’s right in front of my desk, I’m gonna sign it!”

“Emmanuel,” he said, “Donald, I will agree to this.” So he agreed. Everybody agreed.

How Ali Khamenei was eliminated:

Israel invested years in penetrating Tehran’s traffic cameras and tracking Khamenei’s bodyguards in preparation for his assassination.

According to two sources familiar with the details, nearly all traffic cameras in Tehran were hacked over a period of years, and the footage was encrypted and transmitted to servers in Tel Aviv and southern Israel. One particular camera provided an especially useful angle, making it possible to understand where the bodyguards routinely parked their vehicles and to study the operational routine inside the secured compound.

Complex algorithms helped gather intelligence on security personnel, including addresses, shift hours, commuting routes, and especially the identities of the senior officials they were assigned to protect. This enabled the construction of what the intelligence community calls a “pattern of life.”

These capabilities were part of a multi-year intelligence operation that paved the way for the elimination. An Israeli intelligence source said: “We knew Tehran the way we know Jerusalem.”

In addition, Israel reportedly disrupted components in approximately ten cellular towers near Pasteur Street, causing phones to display as busy and preventing alerts from being received.

According to the report, the CIA also provided a source who confirmed the timing of the meeting. Israeli fighter jets, which flew for hours to arrive at the precise time and location, launched approximately 30 precision-guided munitions.

Another striking detail is that the strike was carried out in the morning rather than at night, in order to achieve additional tactical surprise.

(Iran News)

IMO  What amazing times we live in.  Goes to show how we are all being surveilled .  It is good, but also bad, many would say it is an invasion of privacy.  I agree, but good does come from it.  It’s here to stay.  On a personal note I was one who hated wearing seat belts and didn’t.  If I remember correctly my statement was, quote “the dadgum government has no authority to demand us to do something we don’t want to do!”  Still believe that however, they do have ways to make it happen. Unfortunately. Rh

UPDATE:

Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the Supreme Leader, is ten times more dangerous than his father.

   •   He is the guardian who never leaves his father’s shadow.

   •   He runs his father’s office.

   •   He is the one who tweets from his father’s account.

   •   He is very close to the leaders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Quds Force, and the Basij.

   •   He is the one who orders the execution of protesters.

   •   He is the one who shut down the internet, against Pezeshkian’s wishes.

   •   He is the most influential figure in Iran.

   •   He is the man before whom Qassem Soleimani used to bow.

   •   He is the most dangerous man in Iran.

In the midst of war, we must look ahead to peace.  Hopefully this conflict will end with a new era in the Middle East.  Can a relative calm be on the horizon?  Interesting how the nations of the world are in agreement on this move against Iran, even if it is behind the scenes and in diplomatic language.  Let’s pray for that outcome.  Rh

UPDATES:

First the positive, from Amir Tsafati:  Great things are unfolding on the ground in and around Iran – things I cannot yet speak about. Most Iranians aren’t even aware of them. Those who are aware are part of them. 

Reportedly Iran has expressed displeasure over the utter failure of the Chinese air defense system in the ongoing war. 3 HQ-9B air defence systems supplied by China to Iran were destroyed by the U.S. & Israel in Iran during the initial hour of the strikes. IMO Maybe the Chinese are not the overcoming force we all think they are, after they are communist.  Lots of propaganda and hopefully no bite. It was always strange to me that with the feckless Biden and dress wearing Generals in our Army they never moved on Taiwan.  

Fox News Reporting

Special envoy Steve Witkoff:

Let me say this, because I forgot this small little detail.

In that first meeting, both the Iranian negotiators said to us directly, with no shame, that they controlled 460 kilograms of 60% and they’re aware that that could make 11 nuclear bombs, and that was the beginning of their negotiating stance. 

So that’s – they were proud of it. 

They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs.  IMO  Pride goes before a fall, and Iran forgot who they were dealing with!  This proves my point that Iran was only there at the negotiation table to stall and delay, with the outside hope of some sort of deal. (Maybe in 6 months). Satellite photos show clearly they were building more underground test and launching facilities. 

Cyprus:   Report from Cyprus: Authorities are expected to approach the European Union – as Cyprus holds the rotating presidency – to seek activation of NATO’s collective defense clause. The issue will reportedly be discussed during today’s visit by Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias.

“Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, the time came for the king’s command and his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them.”

‭‭Esther‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Purim is a celebration of the miraculous salvation of the Jewish people from a plot by Haman in ancient Persia (modern Iran) to destroy them, as told in the blood of Ester.  It honors courage, deliverance, and the survival of the Jews.  The modern day Haman (Khomeini) has assumed room temperature, just as the Biblical character of Haman, who was hung on the same gallows he had built to hang Mordecai.

Iran: Head Of the Snake Has Been Cut Off

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

An old story about a man who found a snake on the top of a mountain range cold and about to die.  The man took the snake into his home and warmed him, after the snake was active he bit the man.  The man was incredulous, why did you do that?  I saved your life.  The snake replied, I am a snake, that’s what I do, you knew what I was when you took me home and warmed me.

The moral of the story is that American Presidents and diplomats have treated Iran and its proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah the same way. We infuse life while we forget the danger they permeate.  From Bush to Obama we have given cash and agreed to bad one sided deals with a country that lives off lies and subterfuge. That kind of  behavior only feeds a deadly snake whose head needs to be cut off. Remember the pallets of cash sent to Iran from Obama?  I do.  So all you democrats sit this one out, we are only having to clean up your mess.  

Iran is defenseless, air superiority is with the US and Israeli military.  Missiles and drones fired are being intercepted at an amazing success rate.  However the regional partners and some allies of Iran are feeling the rabid dog approach of indiscriminately firing at their country and hoping to cause damage. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and even Cyprus are on high alerts.  Greece is sending air support.  The rabid dog is cornered, and they are still most dangerous when wounded and fighting for their life.

Much more needs to be done, but I feel confident between Trump and Netanyahu it will be finished in Iran and a new government will eventually take over, and hopefully more friendly than what we have seen since 1979.  I remember the debacle  of the Carter administration, another democrat that enabled the radicals.  Only time will tell, but this action had to happen.  A world of Iranian terror networks becoming nuclear could never happen.  

All of you so-called American first numbskulls that think America should isolate itself, you aren’t living in the real world.  Evil people exist, and they need a deterrent, and rightly or wrongly that is 🇺🇸 America.

Continued prayer for safety for the military and civilians caught up in this terror of war.  Wisdom for those in charge and a quick end to this operation.  Kudos to those in charge of planning this operation on both sides, Israel and the US.  Awesome job, let’s just make sure we finished it this time.  IMO

News and Updates On Iran

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Below are excerpts from Amir Tsarfati Telegram page. Most reliable information I have found. When Iran begins to attack even their neighbors, one can understand the evil they were. The world will be a safer place because of the strength of the U.S. and Israeli military and their intelligence. Prayers for safety and wisdom to the coalition. Rh

An important clarification:

President Trump decided to join Israel’s already planned preemptive strike. In early October 2025, Prime Minister Netanyahu received indications that Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs were being restored and moved underground. The IDF and Mossad were immediately ordered to prepare for another strike.

In late December, Netanyahu arrived at Mar-a-Lago to inform President Trump of these developments and received the green light to proceed. Then came early January, when the regime massacred tens of thousands of unarmed young Iranians. President Trump concluded that intervention was necessary to bring an end to the current regime. He promised that help was on the way and immediately ordered the U.S. military to join the IDF’s efforts to gather intelligence and amass forces.

The Iranians began positioning their missiles toward Israel and U.S. bases and were about to decide on launching a strike. That very meeting of Iran’s top military and political leadership became the golden moment. The Israeli Air Force launched its largest-ever sortie, deploying over 250 fighter jets in a massive opening blow that eliminated the supreme leader, members of his family, and his top advisors.

About 30 senior officials were eliminated in just 30 seconds in yesterday’s Israeli opening strike

IDF Spokesperson: We eliminated 40 commanders and senior officials of the regime in the opening strike – within one minute.

The Iranian Regime’s Plan for the Destruction of Israel: A Sharp Acceleration in the Regime’s Missile Production Capabilities

Currently, the regime produces dozens of ballistic missiles per month with a clear acceleration in its recovery pace—an attempt to produce ~8,000 missiles by 2027.

In addition, the regime is investing significant efforts in fortifying its underground production infrastructure.

The possession of missiles by a regime that has declared its intent to destroy Israel constitutes an existential threat.

It Has Begun: The Lion’s Roar

~ Randy Harris ~ 1 Comment

What has been planned, discussed and worried about over the past two months or more, hopefully will finally finish off the radical and dangerous regime in Iran.  The only weapon that Iran has is delay and lie to give themselves more time.  

How does this fit into Bible prophecy, especially Ezekiel 28-39?  The Middle East has changed since October 7th when Hamas attempted to destroy Israel with a sneak attack.  This is not that war.  However the changes brought about with this action could possibly allow Israel to be more secure and safe in their homeland.  Israel has made new alliances, with India especially, more interaction with once old enemies, new co-operation with the U.S.  Israel’s economy is thriving, bless God, even in a time of war.  This is Prophetic, God promised to bring the Jews home to their ancestral homeland and He did. (1948). He also promised to bless them, and that the desert would blossom as a rose, (it has), only God could fulfill these promises.  

No one likes war and death, but…it is time to stop the insanity of this radical death cult of Khamenei.  Much more later. Below is a list of info from Amir Tsarfati, a former officer in the IDF.  Always has in depth behind the scenes info.  Follow him on Telegram.  Rh

Targets attacked in Tehran according to Iranian media:

– Iranian Intelligence Ministry

– Iranian Defense Ministry

– The Office of Leader Khamenei

– Iranian Atomic Energy Agency

According to the New York Times Israel is dealing with the ballistic missiles sites and America with the nuclear and regime sites

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

“My brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel, just an hour ago Israel and the USA launched an operation to remove the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran.

I thank our great friend President Donald Trump for his historic leadership.

For 47 years, the Ayatollah regime has been shouting ‘Death to Israel,’ ‘Death to America.’ It has spilled our blood, murdered many Americans, and massacred its own people.

This murderous terrorist regime must not be armed with nuclear weapons that would allow it to threaten all humanity.

Our joint action will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their fate into their own hands.

The time has come for all parts of the Iranian people – Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Balochs, and Ahwazis – to cast off the yoke of tyranny and bring about a free and peace-loving Iran.

I call on you, citizens of Israel, to heed the Home Front Command’s instructions. In the coming days, during Operation ‘Roar of the Lion,’ we will all be required to show patience and strength of spirit.

Together we will stand, together we will fight, and together we will ensure the eternity of Israel.”

The US named the operation “Operation Epic Fury”.

Israel has been targeted with multiple missiles especially Northern Israel.  Israeli citizens in bomb shelters as I write this.  Psalms 122:6 “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem”.  Rh more later.

Unicorns and Fairies (Real Estate Agent Attempts to Broker Deal With Iran): 

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Witkoff on Iran: The president is curious as to why — I don’t want to use the word capitulated but why they haven’t capitulated. Why under this pressure with the amount of naval power over there, why they haven’t come to us and said we profess we don’t want a weapon…

C’mon Trump, sending what amounts to a used car salesman to broker peace with the most devious and strategic outlaw country in the Middle East?  What ya thinking man.  Please explain how anyone can expect anything good to come from this so called “negotiations”.  When you go into talks with Iran telling everyone who will listen that they will not stop nuclear enrichment and will not do away with their missiles, then we can expect no deal.  At least not one that Trump himself has said must include both.  

Iranians are master negotiators, they understand the gullibility of the western diplomats and politicians.  Iran always plays the delay and waiting game.  They are content to live to fight another day, whereas the western mindset is to accomplish today for their campaign sound bite.  

It has been somewhere around 9 weeks since Trump made his famous, “help is on the way,” declaration.  Sad to say we need to either make the regime change, which is the only way to bring some stability to the region, or make a bad deal and walk away.  Note to America First disciples, who want a hands off approach to all things outside our borders, if we do that I can almost guarantee a regional war in the next few months.  Bad deals can’t be enforced and we have tried that scenario many times.  Over and over again!

Iran has struck a deal with Russia to purchase thousands of shoulder-launched air defense missiles in exchange for half a billion euros. (Per Financial Times) 

Speaking of hard to enforce deals, Gaza is a good example, and brokered by Witkoff.

“Our position on international forces is clear: we want peacekeeping forces that monitor the ceasefire, ensure its implementation, and act as a buffer between the occupation army and our people in the Gaza Strip, without interfering in Gaza’s internal affairs,” Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem told AFP.

Hamas and Israel have continued to trade attacks along the Strip despite the tenuous cease-fire, with the terror group committing daily violations of the truce…

“We see them test our troops. We see them carrying out attacks every week … [Hamas] has injured and killed soldiers since the ceasefire began,” IDF Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani told The Post. New York Post

A Message from Amir Tsarfati: my humble opinion, Special Envoy Witkoff caused significant damage to the war effort by telling Fox News that the President is kind of frustrated and even surprised that the Iranians are not capitulating.

Those words echoed loudly across the Middle East – and they were received as a signal of weakness and ignorance.

Weakness – because a massive military buildup impresses no one if there is no clear willingness to use it.

Ignorance – because this regime will never surrender its “insurance policy” – namely its nuclear program, its ballistic missile arsenal, and its regional proxies – if it believes the ultimate objective is to topple it anyway.

Right now, many in the region view President Trump as someone who may have miscalculated the situation – projecting a “Maduro effect” onto Iran as though the two cases are comparable. They are not.

In my opinion, the President must now be firm – and if a strike is required, it must be decisive and unmistakable.

It must be carried out in such a way that every enemy of the United States understands clearly – America does not posture – it acts.

Deterrence in this region is not built on rhetoric – it is built on demonstrated resolve.

If the objective is to prevent a wider war and restore credibility, then the message must be unmistakable – do not test the United States.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto those who call evil good, and good evil.

Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness,

Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.

Such are the days we live in. Maranatha!
