Strait of Hormuz

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The balance of power in the Strait of Hormuz is shifting dramatically. Iran, which once believed it controlled this vital waterway with its fast boats, now faces a shocking reality.

The arrival of the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli at the head of a Marine Expeditionary Unit, including the 31st Reconnaissance Battalion, represents an unprecedented nightmare for the Iranian regime. This elite force of approximately 2,500 troops is moving at maximum speed toward the region, signaling Washington’s shift from airstrikes to a potential “boots on the ground” option.

Known as “Force 911,” these units are not ordinary reinforcements—they are self-contained, integrated forces combining ground combat elements with artillery, amphibious vehicles, fighter jets like F-35s, and attack helicopters, effectively turning the ship into a miniature aircraft carrier operating in the heart of the Strait.

Primary objective: regain control over the Strait of Hormuz from the Revolutionary Guard, which has disrupted global shipping. The number of transiting ships dropped to just 77 in early March, compared to over 1,000 in the previous year.

With this deployment, all military options are on the table: from rapid raids on islands used by the Guard as missile and drone launch points, to full control of strategic sites like Kharg Island, Iran’s economic lifeline and source of roughly 90% of its oil exports.

Missions may also include highly sensitive tasks, such as securing enriched uranium stocks to prevent any “dirty bomb” scenario, or collaborating with the CIA and Mossad to engage opposition groups and build an internal resistance movement to overthrow the regime.

This marks a new phase that goes beyond traditional deterrence, putting Tehran’s influence and the regime’s existence at stake. These special forces could fundamentally shift the balance of power internally and potentially end the regime’s dominance forever.

Update:

American retaliation – strategic shift

Financial Times reports a major U.S. pivot:

• Air-defense systems and ammunition redirected from Europe to the Middle East

• Focus shifting fully toward confrontation with Iran

On the ground

• Deliveries to Europe – especially Patriot interceptors – expected to be delayed

• Systems already moved from Europe to protect U.S. forces and allies in the region

• U.S. deprioritizing Russia–Ukraine track – signaling full attention on Iran

Europe reacts

• Anger and concern – described as a “disaster”

• Accelerating independence from U.S. arms supply

• France taking its own path – deploying forces to the region

Middle East implications

• Stronger U.S. deterrence posture

• Shortages creating competition for air-defense systems

• Rising risk of escalation with Iran

• Gulf states reassessing alliances

Bottom line

• The Middle East is now Washington’s top priority

• Europe is sidelined

• The global balance is shifting

News Update On Iran Conflict

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

President Trump says he’s hearing that Iran Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is DEAD, and that Iran desperately wants a ceasefire deal.  “I’m hearing he’s not alive, and if he is, he should do something very smart for his country, and that’s surrender!”

“Iran wants to make a deal, and I don’t want to make it because the terms aren’t good enough yet,” Trump told NBC

On the Strait of Hormuz: “We’re going to be sweeping the strait very strongly, and we believe we’ll be joined by other countries who are somewhat impeded, and in some cases impeded from getting the oil.” (More on this in a later post).  IMO  Marines are on the way to the Middle East, could Kharg Island just 30-40 miles from the Strait Of Hormuz be a logical landing place to protect oil production facilities in an effort to stabilize world oil prices?? Rh

On Khamenei: “I don’t know if he’s even alive. So far, nobody’s been able to show him.”

American nuclear bombers are carrying out a devastating and extremely heavy bombardment of Isfahan, Iran, and the entire city is shaking from the impact of the heavy bombs.

Heavy airstrikes targeted the terrorist positions of the Islamic Republic in the area of Golestan-e Shohada and the Army Aviation Corps Isfahan.  This is the area where it is thought some high grade nuclear material was taken for later use.  The US & Israel will need to do something about getting that material.  It will most likely be a boots on the ground scenario.  That may be why it is still intact.  Rh

The air superiority of America and Israel in the skies of Iran has reached such a level that fighter/bomber aircraft are operating at low altitude and right above the target.

Tonight: Maximum security preparations are underway for the Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has threatened to target the event with terrorist attacks or sabotage. IMO Probably a good majority of those attending are Pro Palestinian, and are against the military action against Iran. Of course it’s Trump’s fault, he should stand down to let Iran have their nuclear capabilities.  Important point, you may stand with them, but they will still kill you for that is who they are.  Wise up libs! Rh

President Trump warned:

“Any harm to U.S. citizens will result in the immediate elimination of the remaining Iranian leadership.” 

IDF: The IDF completed a wave of strikes targeting Iranian regime headquarters in Hamedan, western Iran

Earlier today (Sunday), the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, completed a wave of strikes targeting the Iranian terror regime’s infrastructure in the area of Hamedan, western Iran.

The IDF struck several key headquarters belonging to the IRGC and the Basij Forces.These headquarters served the regime’s bodies to manage the ongoing activities and to advance terror attacks against the State of Israel and additional countries across the Middle East.

The IDF is currently expanding the scope of its strikes against the infrastructure of the Iranian regime in additional areas in western and central Iran, with the aim of broadly and systematically degrading the regime’s command-and-control capabilities.

The completed strikes are part of an ongoing effort focused on deepening the damage to the core operational systems and foundations of the Iranian regime.

David Brody on X:

Attention Tucker Carlson: this week Senator Ted Cruz told me he thinks you should be investigated for ties to foreign countries. Good luck. Looks like you’re gonna need it.

Following is from Amir Tsarfati telegram page. I trust him and his sources.

Here’s what appears to be happening:

1. Tucker Carlson has allegedly been conducting his own foreign policy with Iran on behalf of the United States.

2. At some point, the CIA got wind of this and informed President Trump, who may then have used Tucker as an unwitting counterintelligence asset to feed faulty information to Iran. (BASED.)

3. Following the launch of Epic Fury, Tucker’s traitorous behavior may have finally caught up with him, as DOJ reportedly prepares a criminal complaint against him based on CIA intelligence.

🇮🇷 Bonus Round: An Example of Tucker Likely Parroting Iranian Regime Propaganda 🇮🇷

4. After the operation began, Iran sent IRGC agents to carry out attacks in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, but those plots were foiled.

5. Iran then told Tucker these were actually Mossad plots — a claim he pushed online and that spread like wildfire.

6. Saudi and Qatar had to publicly deny Tucker’s fake news about the Mossad.

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

News Update. Iran

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Things are changing so fast during this war.  This is going to be interesting to see how the regional alliances handle the defeat of Iran, especially while old friends, or at least friends that hated Israel, are now expelling old friends from their country.  Trump and Netanyahu have certainly turned the Middle East on its ear.  Even Turkey is telling Iran to be careful in targeting their country.  With victory in sight, if not already there, old cautious allies of Iran are turning like rats running off a sinking ship.  Good to see. Rh

The Qataris have reportedly delivered an eviction warning to the Hamas leadership in Doha. After Iran struck their former ally, Qatar asked their guests to condemn the attack. In a serious violation of guest etiquette, Hamas refused.

Before we get too excited, let me remind everyone that Qatar has threatened to do this before. Multiple reports said Hamas leaders left for Turkey after a Qatari directive in April 2024, and there were rumors of Doha “reconsidering” Hamas’s presence in November 2023; March, May and October of 2024; and a few times in 2025 as well.

Hamas doesn’t seem to have many options for relocation. They require certain qualities in a host: friendly to terror, immune to Israeli strikes and willing to accept the stigma of their presence. There is no shortage of countries in the region with an agnostic view of terrorism; far fewer that Israel wouldn’t strike. But that last factor seems to be the trickiest to find. Even Turkey—which has no problem discreetly supporting Hamas and is the most immune to Israeli strikes in the region—is hesitant to take the American heat that would come with allowing Hamas leaders to walk in through the front door.

The truth is, it’s a great deal for Qatar. For the price of a few hotel rooms, they get to be a key player in one of the world’s most important negotiations. They are America’s go-to terror mediators, so hosting Hamas is more expected than scandalous. Then again, now that all the hostages have returned, Hamas’s value has depreciated somewhat. Still, I put the odds at 60-40 that they stay.

Qatar may keep them around, but that doesn’t mean it will advocate on their behalf or give them money. Hamas leaders are reportedly terrified that, with Iran looking unreliable, the loss of Qatari support would be a devastating blow to the organization.

Israel’s perspective has always been that among the terror groups on its borders, Hezbollah was the one most likely to collapse with the loss of Iranian support. Hamas existed long before Iran’s patronage, and it was widely believed it would survive after the Islamic Republic’s fall. But the panic among its leaders indicates it might be easier to dismantle an independent Hamas than previously thought.

It would be remiss not to mention that Iran seems to be more effective than Israel at disposing of Hamas leaders. When Israel struck Doha last September, Hamas had to change hotels. When Iran struck Qatar, Hamas suddenly found itself homeless.

Deep beneath the ground near the Iranian city of Isfahan lies the ayatollahs’ treasure chest. Lead-lined, it contains Iran’s most valuable asset: more than 400 kilograms of 60 percent enriched uranium.

The world’s most radioactive buried treasure was entombed by the U.S. and Israel during the June war and is thought to be inaccessible without a large excavation effort. But according to a recent U.S. intelligence report, there remains a “very narrow access point” through which the Iranians—or the U.S.—could potentially retrieve the prize.

I’m not being playful when I say this is the treasure of the regime. It cost them hundreds of billions to create, and it is their most powerful weapon—though more in negotiations than in destructive potential. That makes it valuable to the U.S. and Israel as well: Take away the uranium and you remove a load-bearing beam in the regime’s infrastructure.

Fortunately, pulling up IRGC-branded moving trucks is not an option. The site is watched from above by the U.S. and Israel; any Iranian attempt at extraction would be met with an excessive amount of munitions.

An allied operation faces similar challenges. Four hundred kilograms of uranium doesn’t fit easily into a backpack. Any operation would require significant forces around the “very narrow access point” to repel what would likely be a substantial Iranian counterattack.

But Trump hasn’t ruled out sending in special forces, and rumors from both Israel and the U.S. indicate that such an operation is being considered.

Short of Trump walking into the presidential palace in Tehran, victory is a hard thing to photograph. But Netanyahu and Trump shaking hands in front of Iran’s enriched uranium would come pretty close.

Important clarification regarding the strikes in Iran

It is very important to emphasize something that many people outside the region may not fully understand.

Israel is not targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure – the refineries, the production facilities, or the systems that would be needed for the country’s future recovery.

Instead, the strikes are focused primarily on oil storage reservoirs that the regime uses to finance its war machine and sustain its military operations.

Why does this matter?

Because the goal is not to destroy Iran’s ability to function as a nation in the future. The goal is to deny the regime the financial lifeline it uses to fund terror, missiles, and regional aggression.

By targeting the regime’s accessible oil reserves – rather than the infrastructure itself – the pressure is placed directly on the ruling system, not on the long-term future of the Iranian people.

This distinction is extremely important.

One day, when the current regime is gone, Iran will still have the infrastructure it needs to rebuild and prosper. The prospect for a better future for the Iranian people must remain intact.

This war is not against the people of Iran.

It is against a regime that has brought suffering to its own people and instability to the entire region.  Amit Segal

I hope Amit is right, I think he is.  He has contacts inside Israel’s government and military.  There has to be some sort of prosperity going forward for the new regime.  The US and Israel can’t fund a new government, and neither will the Arabs.  At least I don’t think so, although Turkey just might be a help to try and get into the region closer to Israel.  But nevertheless that is a decision for a future date.  War is expected to last another 2-3 weeks.  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.

A Warning Believers Should Not Ignore

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

We know the destruction of America is the main theme of all Globalist. With a strong America their goals of a one world government, or regions of rule, will not happen. We must stand tall and reject the growing socialism here in the US. I am calling for intercession prayer to combat and stop this destruction of borders and sovereignty of nations. It’s always the usual suspects that hate America, Carlson and Owens. Rh

There is a Russian ideologue most people in the West have never heard of – yet his ideas are spreading in ways that should concern anyone who cares about the future of the West, and about Israel.

His name is Alexander Dugin.

Dugin is the chief promoter of a geopolitical concept called “multipolarity.” His vision is to dismantle the Western-led global order and replace it with several competing civilizational blocs.

In his worldview the world should be divided into spheres such as:

• Russia leading a Eurasian empire

• China as its own civilizational pole

• A unified Islamic world

• Other regional blocs balancing each other

For this system to emerge, the Western alliance must weaken first – particularly the United States.

And here is the troubling part.

In a recent video, Dugin openly pointed to several American influencers whom he believes help advance that process by challenging the Western order from within.

Among the voices he mentioned were:

• Tucker Carlson

• Alex Jones

• Candace Owens

To be clear: mentioning these names does not necessarily mean coordination. But the fact that a leading geopolitical strategist for Russia sees internal American voices as helping advance his agenda should give believers pause.

Why should evangelical Christians care?

Because historically God has used America in a unique way to bless and protect Israel. A weakening of the United States and of the Western alliance would dramatically change the strategic environment for Israel.

Scripture reminds us that the nations will ultimately turn against Israel (Zechariah 12–14). Watching ideological movements that seek to weaken the Western world should therefore make us more alert – not less.

This is not about politics.

It is about discernment.

As believers we must be careful not to unknowingly amplify narratives that could ultimately undermine the very alliance that has helped protect Israel for decades.

Pass The Save Act

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Sen. Thune, it’s time to clean out your office! Trump call him and tell him “you’re fired!!”

Following the unprecedented election in 2016 of Trump, the deep state pulled out all the stops. Outgoing President Obama decided to push the intelligence networks to dig up dirt on Trump. It didn’t matter if it was true or not. It wasn’t. Manufactured evidence almost took Trump down along with several of his friends and appointees who were slandered. Evidence is now out and there should be arrests. Don’t hold your breath, but Obama should be the first perp walked.

In 2020, with a vigorous and popular Trump running against a feeble Biden the Deep State had to do something to ensure Trump lost. That was all solved with the covid scam and mail in ballots that were not verified and dropped off days and weeks later. The fix was in, voting stopped as Trump lead in several toss up states. Later we find that the Dominion voting systems helped change votes, and added votes for Biden. The election was stolen. Again evidence has been found, and our elections will never be the same.

However now we have the opportunity to fix at least a part of the problem with the SAVE ACT. The house has passed, but the Senate lead by worthless John Thune and aided by the octogenarian and Biden lookalike Mitch (China) McConnell, it hasn’t even been brought to the floor for a vote. Thune is bought and paid for. He is dirty. Case closed, and all the other so-called Republicans who will not vote in favor of election integrity. Millions must be flowing to these dirty politicians from somewhere. But where? The DOJ must get to the bottom of the election issue here in America, without free and fair election, our country is lost.

Call the wayward Senators, especially Thrune’s office and demand action. Won’t do any good, but it will make you feel better to yell at someone. It did me. Maybe not yell, but forceable language is the order of the day.

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.
