There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "…truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity–it is simply true and that is the end of it" – Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” – Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
Most people don’t realize this, but an apocalyptic war with Iran would be a major turning point in the history of the world. Once the missiles start flying, nothing will ever be the same again. As you will see below, AI models are telling us when they think that moment will arrive. The only way that war can be averted is if a diplomatic solution can be found. That is why the negotiations that will be held in Geneva on Thursday are so important…
The mood in Tehran on the eve of the third round of talks with Washington appears to be a mix of guarded hope and tightening anxiety.
Negotiators are set to meet in Geneva on Thursday in discussions that could prove decisive, particularly if reports are accurate that Washington has set informal deadlines for progress.
Public messaging inside Iran reflects both anticipation and unease as officials brace for what could be a pivotal round.
Many experts believe that if this round of talks does not produce results, it will be the last round of talks.
In other words, the deadline for Iran to make significant concessions has arrived.
During the State of the Union address, President Trump made it abundantly clear that he will never permit Iran to have nuclear weapons…
“My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy. But one thing is certain, I will never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon,” he said, to loud applause from both Republicans and Democrats in a rare moment of unity.
In a deeply divided Congress, Iran’s nuclear program remains one of the few issues capable of producing bipartisan agreement. Lawmakers across the political spectrum have long argued that a nuclear-armed Iran would destabilize the Middle East and threaten U.S. allies.
“We can’t let the craziest and worst regime in the world have nuclear weapons. That’s what the president has set as our goal. He is going to try and accomplish that diplomatically, but he has a number of other tools at his disposal to ensure this doesn’t happen. He has shown willingness to use them and I hope the Iranians take it seriously in the negotiations tomorrow,” Vice President Vance told Fox News on Wednesday.
Of course that isn’t the only thing that the Trump administration wants.
The Iranians must also agree to limits on their ballistic missile program and they must stop supporting terrorist proxies throughout the Middle East. Unfortunately, the Iranians have already categorically rejected those terms…
Washington wants Iran to stop enriching uranium, reduce its stockpiles of highly enriched material and address concerns about missiles and regional activity. Tehran rejects those terms, saying it has the right to peaceful nuclear energy and that other issues should not be part of the talks.
However, recent satellite imagery, published last week by Reuters, show that Iran has been quietly repairing and fortifying key facilities, suggesting Tehran is preparing for conflict even as diplomacy continues.
Analysts reviewing commercial satellite imagery from Planet Labs and other providers say Iran has been rebuilding and reinforcing key nuclear sites, including Natanz and Isfahan. New roofs and cover structures appear to shield damaged facilities, possibly to hide activity and protect surviving equipment or enriched uranium from further strikes. Some tunnel entrances have been strengthened, and missile bases hit in previous attacks show signs of repair.
I don’t see how a deal is possible.
I really don’t.
So war is coming.
The Jerusalem Post asked four different AI models when an attack on Iran would begin, and the answers that the AI models produced were very interesting.
Its most likely scenario, carrying roughly 40% to 45% odds, was a limited strike on Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure followed by a pause and renewed diplomatic pressure. It flagged early-to-mid March 2026 as the highest-risk window.
After another prompt, it narrowed further: Saturday, March 7 or Sunday, March 8, 2026.
In my personal opinion, this would make sense because in the past we have seen other military operations begin on a weekend when less people are paying attention.
In a later deep-research run, it got considerably more specific: Gemini shifted from triggers to timing and said that after weighing tactical, diplomatic, historical, and logistical factors, the “exact window” for the start of a US attack would fall between the evening of March 4, 2026, and the evening of March 6, 2026.
Grok seems to believe that a military operation could commence even sooner.
When asked, it predicted a date of February 28th…
Grok gave the clearest date in our original run. It predicted a limited US strike on February 28, 2026, tied to the outcome of the Geneva talks.
A later check using Grok’s 4.20 beta mode, described by the user as running four agents simultaneously, changed the tone but kept the same answer.
This would make sense if President Trump loses all patience with Iran after the upcoming talks in Geneva.
In such a scenario, I don’t think that a military operation would begin on Thursday, February 26th.
But the window of time from the evening of Friday, February 27th to the evening of Sunday, March 1st could be a period of time that war planners in Washington find very appealing.
Of course it all depends on Trump.
He is the one that is going to have the final say on pulling the trigger.
In the earlier run, ChatGPT worked through an extended reasoning process and landed on Sunday, March 1, 2026 (Israel time), with a danger window running through March 6.
After a much longer deep-research pass, it changed the date. Its updated answer was Tuesday, March 3, 2026 (US time), noting that in Israel time this could show up as late Tuesday night or early Wednesday, March 4.
The 12 Day War was not about regime change, and so the Iranians held back to a very large degree.
But if the U.S. conducts a major military operation this time round, the Iranians clearly understand that regime change will be the goal, and they will hit us with everything in their arsenal.
Total lunar eclipse on March 3, 2026, fully visible from eastern Asia to western Americas A total lunar eclipse will occur at 11:33 UTC on March 3, 2026, with totality lasting 58 minutes and 19 seconds and full visibility across East Asia, Australia, the Pacific region, and western North America.

At least 30 dead and 39 missing after extreme rainfall causes severe flooding and landslides in Minas Gerais, Brazil Severe flooding and landslides struck the southeastern Brazilian state of Minas Gerais between February 23 and 24, following extreme rainfall that exceeded three times the monthly average. At least 30 people died, 39 remain missing, and more than 3,000 were displaced as torrential downpours caused the Paraibuna River to overflow in Juiz de Fora and inundate parts of Ubá.
“Regime Must Be Relegated to Dustbin of History”: Florida Congressman Erupts After Cuba Attacks U.S. Speedboat Florida Republican Rep. Gimenez blasted the Cuban regime shortly after news that Cuban border guards fired on and killed 4 people and injured 6 on a U.S.-linked speedboat off Cuba’s north coast. “The dictatorship in Cuba just attacked a boat from Florida & murdered those on board,” Gimenez wrote, adding, “This regime must be relegated to the dust bin of history!”
Trump Claims Iran Developing Missiles to Hit US, Contradicting Intel Reports With nuclear talks hanging in the balance, and the potential for yet another US war of choice in the Middle East, President Trump escalated the rhetoric, warning that Iran is moving beyond just regional missile capabilities and setting its sights farther west by developing missiles capable of hitting the United States.
The Deadline Has Arrived, and AI Models Are Giving Their Predictions for When the U.S. Will Attack Iran An apocalyptic war with Iran would be a major turning point in the history of the world. Once missiles start flying, nothing will ever be the same. AI models are telling us when they think that moment will arrive. The only way war can be averted is if a diplomatic solution can be found. That’s why negotiations that will be held in Geneva on Thursday are so important.
Horrific New Data Reveals Thousands of Children Mutilated Under Biden Regime New revelations from Stop the Harm Database expose: between 2019-2023, thousands of US children were subjected to life-altering surgeries, hormone treatments, & puberty blockers in the name of transgender ideology. In total, 13,994 minors endured some form of sex change treatment, while a shocking 62,682 prescriptions for these interventions were written for kids.
UK’s Reddit Fine Forces Users Into Mass Biometric Surveillance The Information Commissioner’s Office fined Reddit £14.47 ($19.56) million for failing to properly verify ages of children using the platform…. The UK’s data protection regulator says it’s protecting children. What it’s actually building is a mandatory identity verification system that turns anonymous internet use into a surveillance exercise for every adult in the country.
Iran hasn’t stopped pursuing nuclear weapons, Trump says at State of the Union The president told the assembled members of Congress, the Supreme Court, the U.S. military, and his administration that the United States warned Iran not to attempt to rebuild its weapons programs after Operation Midnight Hammer in June. “We wiped it out, and they want to start all over again, and are at this moment again, pursuing their sinister ambitions,” Trump said.
Peak tensions in Middle East: US stations advanced stealth aircraft in Israel As part of a broad deployment by the United States military in the Middle East, advanced fighter jets have been stationed in Israel. According to the information provided, the US has deployed a squadron of approximately 12 F-22 Raptor aircraft to Israel as part of preparations for a potential strike on Iran.
Yes, It is Snowing in New York A “Blizzard” Gives Mayor Mamdani Pretext for “Climate Lockdown.” In spite of the fact that receiving up to 2 feet of snow in winter in New York City is entirely normal, headlines drumming up hysteria have prepared the way for what’s unfolding now via City Hall, and via still-new-on-the-job Marxist-Islamist Mayor Mamdani. A pure Marxist-Islamist rights takeover; a trial run.
Canada is Killing People in Assisted Suicide the Same Day They Request It Canadians are having their lives ended by assisted dying the same day requests are made, adding to fears that wrongful deaths may be occurring. This should serve as warnings of what may happen in England and Wales if the assisted suicide Bill is made law and starts down the path towards a progressively more expansive assisted suicide regime. It cannot be allowed.
More Christians Killed in Nigeria as Media and Democrats Deny Genocide If mainstream media and American Democrats and liberals are correct that the mass killing of Christians in Nigeria is merely a conflict over grazing land rather than a genocide, then why are so many Christians not only being killed but also abducted? Abduction has never been a defining feature of disputes between herders and farmers in other countries.
It is often said that timing is everything, and that is certainly true when it comes to war with Iran. By October 27th, national elections will have been held in Israel to determine the 120 members of the twenty-sixth Knesset. The polls do not look good for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at all, and so he is probably going to be out of a job. Solving the “Iran problem” is the number one thing that Netanyahu wants to accomplish before he leaves, and so the clock is ticking. Even if there was some sort of a dramatic development that prevented the U.S. from attacking Iran, top Israeli officials have already warned that they would just go in anyway.
Of course it isn’t just the Israelis that are facing time pressure. Mid-term elections in the United States are scheduled for November 3rd, and history has shown us that they are often not kind to whichever party controls the White House. President Trump knows that if the Democrats end up taking control of the House and Senate his hands would really be tied at that point. He doesn’t want to leave the “Iran problem” to future administrations, and so he is highly motivated to act now.
If a war is going to be politically beneficial, it should be over by the time an election arrives.
Voters like victories.
Voters do not like wars that drag on indefinitely with no end in sight.
So ideally Netanyahu and Trump would like to see this crisis with Iran wrapped up by the middle of the year.
But if Netanyahu and Trump wait too long, the window of opportunity that they currently have may close completely.
This is likely one of the reasons why the Iranians have been working so hard to delay matters.
If negotiations can be stretched out long enough, Netanyahu will be voted out of office and President Trump will be saddled with a highly hostile Congress which would not be eager to fight Iran.
So the Iranians keep talking about how much they are eager to talk, but meanwhile they are refusing to agree to any of President Trump’s demands.
Unfortunately for the Iranians, it appears that time is running out on their little game.
Marco Rubio will deliver a rare briefing to top US lawmakers on Iran at the White House on Tuesday as Washington deploys its largest force of aircraft and warships to the Middle East since the 2003 buildup to the Iraq war.
The audience for the secretary of state’s briefing is reported to include the so-called “gang of eight”, which includes the senior lawmakers from both parties in the House and Senate, as well as the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate intelligence committees.
The select group is briefed by the White House on classified intelligence matters, which can include preparations for significant military action. Rubio last publicly briefed the group on 5 January, the day after the US launched its successful operation to capture Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro.
Normally, this sort of a briefing doesn’t happen unless something really big has just occurred or something really big is about to occur.
Many are suggesting that this is a sign that military action against Iran is imminent.
Others believe that we won’t see anything happen until the weekend at the earliest.
On Monday, President Trump suggested that a war with Iran is something that could be “easily won”…
Since the Iranians are not inclined to give him what he wants, Trump is reportedly envisioning a series of limited strikes that will force Iran to make major concessions.
But if the limited strikes do not accomplish that goal, Trump would be ready to initiate a broader campaign…
President Donald Trump warned his aides that if diplomacy or targeted strikes do not convince Iran to give up its nuclear weapons program, he will consider larger actions, according to a report.
While negotiators from the U.S. and Iran will meet Thursday in Geneva to try and find a solution that would avoid military conflict, Trump has been considering other options should the talks fail, according to The New York Times.
Both sides have ramped up military preparations in the region in recent days as Trump has been leaning toward carrying out a strike to show Iran that it must give up its ability to make nuclear weapons, Trump advisors told the Times.
This is a huge gamble, because once the missiles start flying a conflict with Iran could spiral out of control very rapidly.
On Monday, the Iranians warned that they will respond “ferociously” even to a series of limited strikes…
Iran vowed on Monday to retaliate “ferociously” against any attack by the United States and reiterated warnings of a regional conflagration in response to President Donald Trump’s threat of limited strikes.
The bellicose rhetoric from Tehran and Washington came as both sides were set to hold indirect talks in Geneva on a potential deal regarding Iran’s contentious nuclear programme, with a US official confirming discussions would resume on Thursday without offering further details.
As Iran faces US pressure backed by a build-up of military force in the Middle East, university students have started the new semester with anti-government protests, reviving slogans from nationwide demonstrations that peaked in January and were met with a deadly crackdown.
And the head of Iran’s military is telling us that his forces will “inflict heavy casualties” on us if we attack…
Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces Abdolrahim Mousavi warned the United States against any military action against Iran, saying it would suffer heavy losses in the event of aggression.
“We have not initiated any war, and in the past our approach was to prevent the expansion of conflict and reduce casualties. However, the actions of the United States have caused us to change our approach, and this time, if they make a mistake, we will inflict heavy casualties on the enemy,” Mousavi said.
“Our nation and armed forces are determined to stand to the end against the hegemonic system.”
The Iranians keep hinting that they have some big surprises up their sleeves.
Do the Iranians possess weapons that we do not know about?
If the Iranians actually decided to use unconventional weapons against Israel, the Israelis would respond with overwhelming force.
And then the entire world would descend into a state of chaos.
Speaking of unconventional weapons, the Russians are alleging that the UK and France actually intended to equip Ukraine with nuclear weapons…
Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) alleged London and Paris were engaged in a clandestine operation to arm Kyiv with more muscle against Moscow by supplying it with a ‘wonder weapon’.
‘Britain and France realise that the developments in Ukraine leave no chance of achieving their much-desired victory over Russia at the hands of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,’ said a statement today from the spy agency.
‘However, the British and French elites are not prepared to accept defeat. It is believed that Ukraine needs to be equipped with “wunderwaffe”.
‘Kyiv would be able to claim more favourable terms for ending the hostilities if it possessed a nuclear bomb, or at least a so-called “dirty bomb”.’
Let us hope that this report is not accurate.
Let us hope that the Russians simply got a hold of some bad information.
Because giving nukes to Ukraine would be absolutely insane.
Unfortunately, we live at a time when the entire world seems to be going nuts.
The kinetic phase of World War III is nearly upon us, and we are going to witness so much death and destruction in the months ahead.
So enjoy the last remaining moments of relative peace and quiet while you still can, because everything is about to change.
An Attack On Iran Appears To Be Very Close, And This Is Why It Must Happen Soon By Oct 27, national elections will have been held in Israel. The polls don’t look good for Netanyahu, so he’ll probably be out of a job. Solving the “Iran problem” is the number one thing Netanyahu wants to accomplish before he leaves, so the clock is ticking. Even if something prevented the US from attacking Iran, top Israeli officials warned they’d go in anyway.
New York Legalizes Physician Assisted Suicide The nation has come a long way since the controversy and trials of Dr. Jack Kevorkian and the time in which we live. It’s ironic to recognize he was convicted of murder in the 1990s, and today, there are now 13 states (plus DC) that allow physician-assisted suicide, with New York being the most recent on February 9.
In 2026, It Has Become Trendy for Americans to Identify As “Chinese” Just when you think social media can’t get weirder, something proves you wrong. In the past few months, it’s become trendy for social media users to identify as “Chinese.” I understand appreciating the positive elements of another culture, but people are taking this too far. Sadly, we live at a time when many people think they’ll be happy if they can become someone else.
Mamdani Attends Iranian Front Al-Khoei Islamic Center Where Imam Prays for The Mahdi to Kill the Infidels by His Sword As the US makes final preparations to hammer Iranian mullahs out of existence, New York City’s Islamo-communist Mayor Mamdani made a point of saying Friday prayers at a mosque that the Dept of Justice considers to be a front for the Iranian gov’t. The cherry on top is that during those prayers, the imam prayed for the Mahdi to kill the infidels (non-believers) by the sword.

EXPOSED: Iranian Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami’s Chilling Fatwa – ‘We Will Kill You and Kill You Good’ for Daring to Leave Islam In a brazen display of Sharia’s iron-fisted tyranny, Iranian hardliner Ayatollah Khatami delivered a venomous sermon during Tehran’s Friday prayers, threatening execution for anyone who publicly renounces Islam. It’s straight from the heart of Iran’s theocratic regime, where apostasy isn’t just a sin; it’s a death sentence designed to crush dissent and enforce total obedience.

Texas will continue to utilize every tool and strategy to protect our state and our nation.
Iran stalls for interim deal as US-Iran play ‘game of chicken’ with war The Islamic regime has been pushing for an interim deal, seeking to drag out talks with the US to achieve a deal that would allow it to keep its ballistic missile program, legitimize its nuclear program, and get some degree of relief from US sanctions, according to former British Army intelligence officer Lynette Nusbacher.
Chinese CM-302 supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles could be a game changer in a U.S.-Iran conflict. Photo of Ayatollah Khamenei courtesy of Wikipedia and CM-302 missile courtesy of Chinese state media.
Reuters reports that Iran is close to finalizing a deal with Beijing to purchase CM-302 supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, according to six sources familiar with the negotiations. Talks began at least two years ago but accelerated after last June’s 12-day Israel-Iran war.
Senior Iranian military and government officials were involved, including Deputy Defense Minister Massoud Oraei. It remains unclear how many missiles are included, the price of the deal, or whether China will complete the transfer amid rising regional tensions.
The CM-302 is widely considered one of the most capable anti-ship missiles currently available. Supersonic and designed to fly at low altitude to evade naval radar, it has a range of approximately 290 kilometers. Military analysts have described the system as a potential “game-changer,” significantly increasing Iran’s ability to threaten U.S. aircraft carriers and destroyers operating in the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean.
Marketed by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, the missile can be launched from ships, aircraft, or mobile ground platforms and can strike both maritime and land targets.
Sources say Iran is also discussing additional purchases from China, including surface-to-air missile systems, anti-ballistic weapons, and anti-satellite capabilities. The transfer would represent one of the most advanced Chinese weapons sales to Iran in decades and could violate reimposed U.N. sanctions.
Analysts say the acquisition would help replenish Iran’s arsenal after last year’s war and reflect deepening China-Iran military ties. Without the missiles, Iran faces weakened conventional capacity and remains outmatched militarily. Its regional proxy network has also been degraded by sustained Israeli operations, limiting its ability to quickly reconstitute power.
Lebanon’s government has urged Hezbollah not to become involved if fighting breaks out between the United States and Iran, warning that escalation could trigger severe Israeli retaliation. Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji said Lebanese officials have received indications that Israel would strike civilian infrastructure, including possibly Beirut’s airport, in any renewed conflict. During the 2024 Israel-Hezbollah war, Israel killed much of Hezbollah’s leadership and launched a ground invasion before a U.S.-brokered ceasefire halted major fighting.
The White House did not directly address the reported negotiations but reiterated President Trump’s warning that Iran must reach a nuclear agreement or face serious consequences.
President Trump is reportedly growing frustrated as he weighs whether to order airstrikes after being advised that any military action would not deliver a single decisive blow and could draw the United States into a prolonged Middle East war. His decision is expected to depend in part on the assessment of special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner regarding whether Tehran is stalling in negotiations over relinquishing its nuclear weapons capability.
Trump has asked advisers for strike options strong enough to pressure Iran into negotiating from a weaker position, but military planners have cautioned there are no guarantees such action would achieve that objective. He has not made a final decision as the administration awaits Iran’s latest proposal ahead of scheduled negotiations in Geneva.
In addition to the reported Chinese missile deal, Iran may have already received advanced Russian shoulder-fired rockets. Reports from February 22–24, 2026 state that Tehran signed a secret $589 million arms agreement with Moscow for thousands of 9K333 Verba man-portable air-defense systems. According to leaked documents first reported by the Financial Times, the agreement was signed in Moscow in December 2025. Russia has reportedly committed to delivering 500 Verba launch units and 2,500 9M336 missiles.
The Verba is Russia’s most modern shoulder-fired air defense system. It uses a three-channel multispectral optical seeker operating in ultraviolet, near-infrared, and mid-infrared bands, making it highly resistant to countermeasures such as flares and laser dazzling systems used by Western aircraft. It is designed to target cruise missiles, drones, helicopters, and low-flying strike aircraft operating below traditional radar coverage.
Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War say the purchase reflects a shift in Iranian military doctrine following the June 2025 Twelve-Day War. After large, fixed radar systems such as the S-300 and S-400 were destroyed in U.S. and Israeli strikes, Iran appears to be moving toward a distributed air defense model using small, mobile teams. Unlike larger radar-based systems, the Verba can operate without emitting a detectable radar signature, allowing concealed units to engage aircraft with little warning.
The sale is also viewed as a means for Moscow to repair ties with Tehran after Russia did not intervene directly on Iran’s behalf during the 2025 conflict. Although official delivery schedules reportedly run from 2027 to 2029, intelligence reports indicate that some emergency units may already have arrived via Russian Il-76TD cargo aircraft observed landing in Karaj earlier this month. Leaked pricing suggests the missiles are being sold for approximately $200,000 per unit and launchers for about $47,000 each.
Both China and Russia risk additional sanctions if these transfers proceed. Russia is already heavily sanctioned, and the United States imports very little from Russia, limiting Washington’s remaining economic leverage. China, however, would be far more exposed to secondary sanctions and tariff penalties given the scale of its trade relationship with the United States.
On February 6, 2026, President Trump signed an executive order designed to penalize countries that materially support Iran. The order authorizes targeted tariffs of up to 25 percent on any country that “directly or indirectly” acquires goods or services from Iran and expands secondary sanctions aimed at foreign entities, including state-owned firms such as the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation.
President Trump confirmed that he discussed Iran during a February 4 phone call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. According to reports, Trump warned that Chinese military support for Iran, particularly the transfer of advanced weapons systems, would jeopardize the relationship between the two leaders and could affect ongoing trade discussions ahead of his planned visit to Beijing in April.
The United States has positioned itself for what former senior Pentagon official Dana Stroul described as a “highly kinetic” campaign against Iran, following one of the largest recent U.S. military buildups in the Middle East. She said the U.S. military is prepared for sustained offensive operations if ordered by President Trump and can rapidly reposition assets globally to deploy overwhelming force in a single theater.
The buildup includes expanded naval and air capabilities beyond those used in the June 2025 strikes on Iranian-linked nuclear targets. Two aircraft carriers, USS Gerald R. Ford and USS Abraham Lincoln, are operating in or moving toward the CENTCOM theater, potentially positioned between the eastern Mediterranean and the Arabian Gulf.
Additional guided-missile destroyers, fighter aircraft, refueling planes, and air defense systems have been deployed. The presence of the Ford enhances U.S. offensive capability and signals deterrence, reflecting broader and more sustained readiness than prior limited strikes.
2 Feet of Now In at Least 5 States & Hurricane-Force Winds: Northeast Hit By One of Worst Blizzards Ever The blizzard that hit the Northeast Monday turned out much worse than experts projected.

Did A Civil War in Mexico Just Begin? Selling illegal drugs to the US is one of the central pillars of Mexico’s economy. Cartels controlling the drug flow are powerful. They essentially run much of the country, and probably have more firepower than the Mexican gov’t. The good news is they aren’t united. They’ve always fought, but if something occurred to change it, it would be a very ominous development.

President Trump ‘Curious’ Why Iran Hasn’t ‘Capitulated’ US envoy Steve Witkoff said President Trump was “curious” that Iran hasn’t “capitulated” to US demands due to the major US military buildup in the Middle East and threats of war. “I don’t want to use the word frustrated because [Trump] understands he has plenty of alternatives, but he’s curious, he’s curious as to why they haven’t capitulated.”

Report: Trump mulling targeted Iran strike, then a larger attack US President Donald Trump has signaled to his advisers that if diplomatic negotiations or an initial US attack do not compel Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions, he may contemplate a larger military assault aimed at removing the country’s leadership, The New York Times reported Sunday,
Saudi Arabia, Qatar to pay off Syria’s debts to World Bank Group Saudi Arabia and Qatar are to settle Syria’s outstanding arrears of around $15 million to the World Bank Group, a joint statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency said on Sunday. The move paves the way for the approval of millions of dollars in grants for reconstruction and to support the country’s paralysed public sector. Syria has around $15 million in arrears to the World Bank which must be paid off before the international financial institution can approve grants and provide other forms of assistance.
Mexican president appeals for calm after death of cartel leader El Mencho Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is appealing for calm after unrest that has arisen in parts of the country since the military killed cartel leader “El Mencho”. Mexican authorities have confirmed that the country’s military has killed the leader of the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel. Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho”, was shot during a clash with government soldiers in Tapalpa, Jalisco, and died while being flown to the capital, Mexico City, the military said in a statement. The operation was reportedly carried out with help from intelligence provided by the United States. It reportedly killed six other cartel members and injured three government soldiers.
Man who tried to break into Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home shot dead The man was reported by the Secret Service’s bodyguard force to have been armed with a rifle and a gasoline can when he tried to enter the heavily guarded area. When the man was discovered, he was asked to drop the rifle and the gasoline can he was allegedly carrying. When he instead pointed the rifle at two members of the security force guarding the area, they shot him. No one else was injured in the incident.
France and the US in dispute after death of right-wing activist Quentin Deranque A dispute has flared up between Paris and Washington after the United States commented on the fatal beating of a French right-wing extremist. Charles Kushner, the US ambassador to Paris and father of Trump advisor Jared Kushner, is now being summoned by the French Foreign Ministry. The summons follows statements from the US Embassy in France and the US State Department’s Counterterrorism Office. Both have warned of “violent radical left-wing extremism” on the rise in France following the fatal beating of French right-wing extremist Quentin Deranque in Lyon last weekend.
Turn off the TV – Neuro-linguistic programming has been used against populations in many countries and the UK could be in the driver’s seat As a technology, NLP has an amazing track record for instigating fast and efficient change in individuals and groups. If you ask 10 people, you’ll get 10 different answers but when you get to the crux: NLP is a covert form of direct hypnosis. As with all things, NLP can be used for good or it can be used for bad. It depends on the intent of those using it. The nefarious use of NLP techniques, the dark side of NLP, can in all probability be used both for mind-control and brainwashing. Hypnotherapists have been noticing blatant hypnosis and NLP techniques being used by the UK government and state-controlled / legacy media during the “pandemic”.
Israeli President threatens to sue Tucker Carlson after false allegations that Herzog visited Jeffrey Epstein’s island of sexual debauchery Tucker Carlson on Sunday found himself scrambling to apologize to Israeli President Isaac Herzog, hoping to head off a possible major lawsuit over libel and defamation of character. Tucker also said he edited those allegations out of his podcast posted on YouTube. But will this be enough? The Israeli president’s office is actively considering suing Tucker and directly warned the right-wing podcaster of this in writing.
Trump’s Board of Peace scraps United Nations two-state solution President Trump’s Board of Peace at its first meeting in Washington this week scrapped the United Nations (UN) Security Council proposal for the creation of a new Palestinian Arab State in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem (two-state solution).
Time of peace? Growing Messianic expectations in Judaism at the threshold of a new era The Middle East is vibrating with tension. Less than two weeks separate us from the festival of Purim – that biblical moment when the Jewish people celebrate their deliverance from the destructive scheme of Haman, the antisemitic tyrant of ancient Persia, modern-day Iran. The parallel between the story described in the Book of Esther and present-day realities is unmistakable. The Iranian threat and the intensifying antisemitism at the global level understandably stir concern within Jewish communities.
Top Brain Surgeon Told an Ivy League Audience: The Soul Is Real, and Science Proves It “The human brain is incredible, mysterious, and powerful. But it’s not what makes us who we are. The soul does that.” Those words were spoken not from a synagogue pulpit or a church lectern, but inside one of America’s most prestigious secular universities. On January 28, Dr. Michael Egnor, a professor of neurosurgery and pediatrics at Stony Brook University’s Renaissance School of Medicine — an award-winning brain surgeon named one of New York’s best doctors by New York Magazine — stood before an audience at Cornell University and made the case that the soul is not a matter of faith alone. It is, he argued, a matter of evidence.
Tehran resident told KAN Iranians prefer ‘focused’ Israeli strikes to US campaign Ali said Iranians are living in constant anticipation of a possible US strike against the Islamic Regime, describing the mood as one of waiting “every minute and second.” He said, however, that there is a belief among many Iranians that Israeli military action would be more restrained. Ali pointed to Israeli Air Force strikes carried out in June, which he said were seen as precise and narrowly focused, while US strikes are widely expected to “bring terrible destruction, like in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
Protests in Iran continue amid ongoing crackdowns For a second straight day, Iranian university students have taken to the streets to challenge the regime, with Basij and security forces moving in to break up demonstrations. Large anti-government demonstrations are taking place this morning at the Iran University of Science and Technology in Tehran, as well as several other colleges and universities across Iran, with clashes taking place with local security forces and elements under the Basij.
Anti-Israel group plans ‘Keffiyehs for Buchenwald’ protest on anniversary of camp’s liberation German authorities and Jewish organizations are condemning a planned demonstration by radical groups at the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial on April 11, the anniversary of the camp’s liberation, after organizers accused the memorial of disseminating what they called Israeli propaganda. The protest, announced under the slogan “Keffiyehs in Buchenwald,” is being organized by a coalition of pro-Palestinian and far-left groups that describe themselves as part of an international anti-fascist movement.
Iran’s Regime Hanging By A Thread President Trump would do well to end the nightmare. He may not win a Nobel Prize, but more importantly, he will save the world. Iran is an Evil Empire. It is completely and utterly conniving and untrustworthy. I applaud President Trump’s attempts to make Peace. Unfortunately, one cannot make a deal with the Devil. The Iranian Regime, as Senator John Fetterman stated, is a “cancer”. “You can’t negotiate with cancer. You have to attack it”,
Solution to Iran crisis is regime change, ousting Khamenei, Saudi royal family source tells N12 The solution for Iran is no longer a limited military move, but a large, fundamental change, including the ousting of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a Saudi royal family source told N12 News on Sunday. Khamenei and the regime “must be eliminated one by one,” and “the only solution is to change the regime in Iran in one way or another,” the source said.
AI Surveillance Should Scare Both Democrats and Republicans In a country desperate for unifying issues, there is a growing consensus on one: surveillance of American citizens. From progressives who want to hold ICE accountable to conservatives who fear Big Government, an ever-expanding federal government has put many Americans on high alert, and artificial intelligence is only making matters worse.
As The Threat of War Looms, a Very Rare “Planetary Parade” Involving 6 Planets Will Appear In the Night Sky This Week We are about to witness a very rare sight in the heavens. A “planetary parade” involving at least 6 planets is quite rare. In fact, normally, there are at least a couple of decades between such events. But as the threat of a major war in the Middle East looms, we will get to see a “planetary parade” that includes Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune this week.
Another Brussels Shooting Exposes Wider Security Crisis in Europe Friday afternoon in the Molenbeek district of Brussels, gunfire rang out. Police launched an investigation, though no injuries were reported. This incident adds to a growing pattern of violence in what’s known as the capital of Europe, which officials repeatedly downplay even as shootings, gang-related crime, drugs, and unrest escalate in ordinary neighborhoods.
Winter Storm Hernando Strengthening, Bringing ‘Potentially Historic Blizzard’ To Northeast Snow, gusty winds, and coastal flooding are ongoing for the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Wind gusts from 40 – 70 mph are increasingly likely from coastal Virginia to eastern Massachusetts. Flight delays and cancellations are already extensive. Traveling by road won’t be much better. After the storm ends, roads could see partial snowmelt and refreezing, which leads to black ice.
Nuke Talks Between Iran and the US planned for Early March The session would be a continuation of Oman-mediated meetings held earlier this month in Muscat and Geneva. The talks are taking place amid a massive U.S. military buildup in the Middle East and rising tensions. Iran and the United States remain divided over how far and how fast to lift sanctions on Iran in exchange for nuclear constraints.
Witkoff: Trump deal will usher in ‘renaissance’ for Gaza President Trump’s peace plan for the Gaza Strip will get it “ready for a renaissance,” US MidEast envoy Steve Witkoff said. He added that the $17 billion raised by Board of Peace members for Gaza’s reconstruction “is going to jumpstart us. We’re going to have housing, mass transportation, and be able to clear/demolish areas there and get it ready for a renaissance.
‘Attack organized by Russia’; Suspected terrorist strike in Lviv kills police officer, injures 25 The explosions took place after officers arrived at the scene responding to a reported store intrusion, Ukraine’s National Police said in a statement. A second explosion took place after another police crew arrived at the scene, Lviv Oblast’s Prosecutor’s Office added. Ukraine’s President Zelensky said it was a terrorist attack planned by Russia.
Iran says will not ‘bow’ to pressure amid US nuclear talks as anti-govt protests reported in Tehran Masoud Pezeshkian said on Saturday that Iran “will not bow” to pressure from world powers amid nuclear talks with the US. Meanwhile, Iranian students chanted anti-government slogans at rallies for the thousands killed during last month’s demonstrations, local and diaspora media reported. “World powers are lining up to force us to bow our heads… but we will not bow our heads despite all the problems that they are creating for us,” Pezeshkian said in a speech carried live by state TV.
Hezbollah preparing for war with Israel The report follows assessments that Iran is pressuring the terror group to join the fighting if the US strikes Iran. Sources who spoke with the Al-Arabiya claimed that the Friday airstrikes carried out in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley were a “prelude” to an Israeli military operation – one that appears likely to be conducted in parallel with strikes on Iran.
Sen. John Kennedy says ‘grizzly’ Trump secured trade wins despite SCOTUS tariff blow “My Democratic peeps better be careful what they ask for, because if he gives back $300 billion worth of tariff money to the business community in America, this economy’s [going to] roar, man, and the midterms are only a few months off,” Kennedy added.
In a new Cold War, Japan-U.S. ties grow in importance For years, Japanese strategists have quietly feared a United States distracted by Eastern Europe and internally divided by culture wars. But the message delivered by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U.S. Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby at the Munich Security Conference (MSC) last week, should be welcomed not only as reassurance, but as vindication. As Rubio made clear in his address, “We can no longer place the so-called global order above the vital interests of our people and our nations.
Weaponizing Wikipedia: Hamas-linked group trains young Palestinians in Gaza to edit pages Twelve young men and women from Gaza are reportedly being trained to edit Wikipedia pages and disseminate the facts about the conflict with Israel from their perspective. The Geneva-based NGO, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor (Euro-Med), which has been linked with Hamas … announced the launch of the third round of their “WikiRights” project in the Gaza Strip, which trains cohorts of young Gazan residents to shape what appears on the pages of the crowd-sourced encyclopedia.
Israeli, US, European and Gulf officials agree military conflict between US and Iran may be inevitable Iran and the United States are moving closer to possible military confrontation as diplomatic efforts over Tehran’s nuclear program stall and Washington expands its military presence in the Middle East, according to officials and diplomats cited by Reuters. Officials from Iran, the United States, Gulf countries, Europe and Israel told Reuters that expectations for a negotiated settlement are fading, with regional actors now viewing conflict as more likely than compromise.
Hezbollah now managed by IRGC officers as it prepares for US, Israeli strike Hezbollah is currently being overseen by officers from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), rather than its traditional Lebanese leadership, according to Saturday reports from Arab media outlets. In anticipation of a possible Israeli or American strike, Hezbollah has significantly intensified its military and security preparations under the close supervision of IRGC personnel who have recently arrived in Lebanon, sources close to the group told Al Arabiya and Al Hadath.
Gazans call for force independent of political factions, claim it ‘won’t succeed without Israel’ Interest is running high among young people in Gaza as the National Committee for the Administration of the Gaza Strip (NCAG) has begun recruiting members for a new police force. The force is expected to consist of thousands of Palestinian officers who will be trained in Egypt and Jordan before being deployed in the Gaza Strip, with the task of maintaining order. One Palestinian told The Jerusalem Post that both his sons applied for positions in the new force, describing their excitement.
Houthi mobilize troops in Yemen with unclear target, as possible strike on Iran looms in The Houthis may be mobilizing forces for an offensive, a report at Al-Ain media in the UAE said on February 21. The Houthis’ objectives are unclear. However, the report of mobilization is important because it comes amid heightened tensions with Iran. What does the Al-Ain report say? According to the report, the Houthis have mobilized on various fronts within Yemen. It may be an attempt to “ignite a new round of war.”
Tucker’s Ideas About Jews Come from Darkest Corners of the Internet, Says Huckabee After Combative Interview In a combative interview with US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, right-wing firebrand Tucker Carlson made a host of contentious and often demonstrably false claims that quickly went viral online. Huckabee, who repeatedly challenged the former Fox News star during the interview, subsequently made a long post on X, identifying a pattern of bad-faith arguments, distortions and conspiracies in Carlson’s rhetorical style.
Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Kill at Least 10, Including Senior Hezbollah Official At least 10 people were killed and 50 wounded in Israeli strikes in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, … after the Israeli military said it had targeted Hezbollah sites in the Baalbek area. Hezbollah said on Saturday that eight of its fighters, including a commander, Hussein Mohammad Yaghi, were killed in Friday’s strikes in the Bekaa area.
Bennett: 70% of Palestinians in Gaza, PA want to murder all Israelis Bennett asserted that seven out of 10 Palestinian Arabs in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority want to murder all Israelis. He based that figure on the latest opinion polls in those areas, which showed 70% of the public support the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre. He noted that in the only democratic elections which took place in the P.A., in 2006, Hamas won 76 out of 132 parliamentary seats.
Winter storm warning in 8 states as 15 inches of snow to hit Several states have been issued winter weather-related alerts from the National Weather Service as of early Saturday. Among the states with either winter storm warnings or winter weather advisories are New York, Vermont, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maine, New Hampshire, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kansas, Oregon, Washington, California, and Alaska.
UK Puberty Blocker Trial Finally Halted Over Significant Safety Concerns A shocking NHS-supported trial has now been suspended following officials’ warnings of “significant” long-term harms to young people. The controversial plans aimed to give puberty blockers to children as young as eight-years-old, but the UK’s medicines regulator has finally stepped in to stop it, citing major safety fears.
Islamization of NYC: The Dark Truth Behind the ‘Largest Dawah Event’ That Shut Down Times Square A radical influencer used the so-called “largest Dawah event in the world” to transform Times Square into a platform for Islamic supremacy messaging. Sohail, known as WAYOFLIFESQ, has millions of YouTube subscribers and over 700 thousand Instagram followers. His real game is spreading hostility toward the West, using young kids as props for his propaganda.
Mosque Mass-Converts Families & Teens –Videos Reveal Sharia Takeover in San Antonio Sharia Creep Accelerates in Texas Heartland — San Antonio’s Islamic Center is mass-converting entire families and vulnerable teens at up to 3 per week, with their own public videos showing Shahada recitations, school tours pressuring girls into hijabs under “diversity” cover, and the relentless drive to expand Islamic influence in the Lone Star State.
Israeli officials believe US & Iran are at an unbridgeable impasse as they near open conflict Israel and Iran’s Gulf neighbors now consider a conflict to be more likely than a settlement, with Washington building up one of its biggest military deployments in the region since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, though no decision has been made yet on whether to carry out such an operation, said a source familiar with the planning.
Is It Time To Reopen The Franklin Child Prostitution Case After Epstein Revelations? Revelations of “Lolita Express” and flights to Little St. James Island are nothing compared to what we now find in millions of documents released: Hints of rape, torture, possible murder, even cannibalism in coded (and not so coded) language of Epstein’s emails. If revelations of “Pizzagate” & the John Podesta emails are correct, then many of the horrors committed on Epstein’s Island involved young children.
OpenAI Knew About Transgender Mass Shooter, Didn’t Report It Ahead of Time A report from the Wall Street Journal reveals that OpenAI knew about the transgender who opened fire at a residence and Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia. The transgender shooter, while using ChatGBT in June, “described scenarios involving gun violence over the course of several days, according to people familiar with the matter.”
Iran once again insists it seeks only peaceful nuclear energy while pledging it will never pursue a bomb. That line has echoed through multiple administrations, multiple agreements, and multiple crises. Each time the world is told the issue is settled, and each time inspectors later raise concerns about access, enrichment levels, or undeclared activity. The story does not move forward; it circles back.
The real question is no longer whether Iran knows the right words. The question is whether history has taught us how to listen.
Diplomatic language has remained steady for decades, yet measurable activity has shifted whenever pressure relaxed. What appears new in headlines often proves to be repetition in practice.
Iran’s nuclear effort stretches back more than a quarter century in its modern form. The country signed international agreements promising non-weaponization while building nuclear facilities later revealed only after outside discovery.
Investigations repeatedly ran into incomplete disclosures, disputed inspections, and technical findings that could not verify a purely civilian program.
Agreements temporarily slowed enrichment but never fully resolved the trust deficit. When restrictions loosened or pressure eased, enrichment levels rose again. Each cycle reinforced the same dynamic: negotiation followed by expansion. The pattern became predictable enough that diplomats learned talks were rarely the end of the matter, only a pause in escalation while capability quietly improved.
Policy responses eventually hardened because verification never reached certainty. Energy programs do not normally require enrichment approaching weapons-grade levels, nor do they benefit from limiting inspector access.
The credibility gap widened year after year. Leaders reached a point where intent mattered more than declarations, and deterrence replaced patience. The debate today asks whether renewed assurances should reset expectations. Yet history shows promises alone never stabilized the situation for long. Pressure, inspections, and consequences were the only factors that slowed advancement.
Nations build trust through consistent action. Without that consistency, every agreement functions as temporary management rather than lasting resolution. Quite frankly, Iran has proven it cannot be trusted.
Scripture also reminds readers that patterns among nations develop over time. Ezekiel 38:5 warned of Persia (Iran) aligning with Turkey against Israel, “Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet.”
The point is awareness rather than date-setting.
Motives reveal themselves through repeated behavior. Words may calm headlines for a season, but actions form reality. Wisdom remembers prior evidence before embracing fresh guarantees. Peace remains the desired outcome, yet discernment guards against misplaced confidence.
History teaches that hope and caution must travel together, especially when the same assurances return generation after generation. Pray we are not fooled again.
On Feb. 6, 2026, an article by Bible prophecy expert Jim Fletcher was posted on Koenig’s Eye View that said:
Iranian researcher Hamid Reza Bigdelo claimed on the Iranian television program “Toward the Horizon of Palestine” that Israel’s fate is “destruction.”
Relying on religious sources, Bigdelo said that Islamic texts mention the end of the Jewish state prior to the reappearance of the Twelfth Shiite Imam (the Mahdi).
According to him, the elimination of the Jewish political structure is described in religious sources as an event to be led by the Iranian people.
He added that with the Mahdi’s reappearance, Judaism would remain solely as a religious faith and not as a political entity.
What that last sentence means is that a lethal Iran, aiming to establish a global caliphate, will “allow” the Jews to remain as “dhimmis,” subjects forced to bow to Islam, but can remain a religious entity.
What these ghouls don’t understand, of course, is that it is the religious dimension that keeps Israel.
And will force the permanent downfall of Islam.
As I understand it,
The Iranian Mullahs believe Iran will get into a great war, and the Twelfth Shiite Imam (called the Mahdi, a man they believe is hiding in a well or a cave at this time) will suddenly come out of his hiding place and lead Iran to a great victory over the nation of Israel and eventually the remainder of the world.
Iran’s nuclear reactors, uranium enrichment facilities, ballistic missiles, and proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, etc.) are a central part of Iran’s belief that the Mahdi will help Iran establish an Islamic world government and religion.
No other nations will be allowed to exist, but people of other religions will be allowed to exist if they agree to live as second-class citizens under Islam.
This means that Pres. Trump’s demands that Iran stop trying to produce nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, etc., is in essence a demand that Iran give up its religious beliefs about the Mahdi.
The Mullahs are saying, “No way, it’s like a snowball’s chance in Hell.”
It’s my opinion that Iran will never accept Trump’s demands.
Asking the Mullahs to abandon their Koran-based religious beliefs would be like asking conservative Christians and Jews to abandon their Bible-based religious beliefs.
The Mullahs giving up their belief that the Mahdi will come back would be like conservative Christians giving up their belief that Jesus will come back.
Trump needs to face the fact that there is no way that this will happen.
(More: On Feb. 11, 2026, a senior Hamas (an Iranian proxy) official said Hamas will not lay down its weapons until Israel is eliminated.)
(More: On Feb. 11, 2026, an adviser to the Ayatollah Khomeini warned that Iran’s missile capabilities are non-negotiable.)
(More: On Feb. 19, 2026, Pres. Trump told the board of peace that Iran cannot have a nuke. Iran says its nuclear program is for peace. World leaders must remember that Islam’s idea of peace is a global Islamic caliphate and religion. The purpose of Iran’s nuclear program is for Iran to establish an Islamic world government and religion: destroy the Little Satan – Israel – and then destroy the Great Satan – the U.S. – and then take over the world.)
Here are some recent current events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is close:
One, on Feb. 12, 2026, “End of The American Dream” author Michael Snyder wrote:
President Trump has just said that Iran will have about a “month” to make a deal.
If you look at the calendar, about a month from now, we will be very close to the end of Ramadan.
I think that President Trump is hoping that the military preparations that the U.S. is making in the Middle East will convince Iran to make significant concessions.
But the Iranians have repeatedly told us that they must be allowed to continue to enrich uranium and that there will be absolutely no negotiations regarding their ballistic missile program or their support for proxies in the region.
So, there is no way that a deal is going to happen.
(My opinion: Trump can’t keep pushing back the date of his response. Talk will not solve this. God will not let Iran destroy Israel. Crunch time is coming. But there are some big questions: When? How bad? Will this fulfill the prophecy of Elam? Is this leading to the Battle of Gog of Magog, etc.? We wait.)
(More: Amir Tsarfati’s opinion – posted on Feb. 12, 2026 – Everyone here in the Middle East continues in our hold pattern as the United States and Iran decide what they’re going to do about each other. Other countries, such as Turkey, Qatar, and Russia, are throwing in their two shekels of advice and warnings. This world continues to rapidly move toward the great war promised in Ezekiel 38-39.)
(Update: On Feb. 16, 2026, it was reported that the U.S. has signed a contract with Boeing to immediately replenish its supply of Bunker Buster bombs. How long this will take was not revealed.)
(Update: On Feb. 16, 2026, Iran practiced a live and targeted naval exercise in anticipation of future U.S. involvement in an attack on Iran.)
(Update: On Feb. 17, 2026, it was reported that the U.S. has moved more than 50 fighter jets to the Middle East in the past 24 hours.)
(Update: On Feb. 18, 2026, The Hal Turner Radio Show reported that the U.S. gave Iran until the end of February to present a concrete plan to end its nuclear program. Israel’s Home Front Command received orders to prepare for war. The hospitals in Israel have received directives to prepare for a transition to emergency mode.)
Two, concerning Islam and the Iranians killing protesters in Iran: on Feb. 12, 2026, Amir Tsarfati said:
When one looks at the life of Muhammad, the man’s actions became more violent and legalistic as he gained power.
Muhammad killed infidels; therefore, it is right to kill infidels and wrong not to kill infidels.
Muhammad subjugated women; therefore, it is right to subjugate women and wrong not to subjugate women.
Muhammad required unquestioned obedience to his orders; therefore, Muslims must unquestioningly obey the orders they are given by their religious leaders.
To the Islamist mind, killing the 40,000 was not wrong, and the killers should not feel bad about it.
In fact, the exact opposite is true.
It should be celebrated as an act of righteous obedience.
(My opinion: Satan is a murderer. The idea that it is wrong not to kill people that disagree with you is Satanic. Allowing these killers to have nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles should be totally out of the question.)
(Also, my opinion: Not removing Muslims that are illegally in the U.S. and/or calling for Islam to take over the U.S. should be totally out of the question.)
Three, concerning the Palestinian Authority’s agreement several months ago to stop paying terrorists (called the pay-for-slay program or the Martyr’s Fund) to kill Jews: on Feb. 8, 2026, a watch-dog group reported that the payments are still going out.
Four, concerning my opinion that Iran will refuse to give up its quest for nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles, and the possibility of a great war with Iran: on Feb. 13, 2026, it was reported that:
Trump said it has been difficult to make a deal with Iran.
The U.S. is sending an additional aircraft carrier to the Middle East, adding thousands more troops, fighter aircraft, guided-missile destroyers, and other firepower capable of conducting attacks and defending against them.
Five, concerning Islam’s desire to destroy Israel: on Feb. 16, 2026, Gatestone Institute posted an article by Con Coughlin that said:
As commendable as it may be that US President Donald J. Trump is apparently hoping that he can turn “swords into ploughshares,” the inclusion of avowedly pro-Islamist, pro-terrorist countries such as Turkey, Qatar and Pakistan in his so-called “Board of Peace” has all the potential to thoroughly undermine the American leader’s peace initiative in Gaza.
The presence of so many Islamist and terror-supporting countries on Trump’s Gaza Board has prompted concerns that they will attempt to stymie the Trump administration’s disarmament demand and seek to find a compromise agreement whereby Hamas terrorists are allowed to continue holding weapons to be used later to continue attacking Israel, especially after Trump is a lame duck after the US midterm elections this year or no longer holds office.
(A Rapture Reader’s Comment: He has allowed a fox to get into the hen house.)
Six, concerning God’s promise to re-establish the nation of Israel at the end of the age and transform it into a great army that cannot be defeated (Ezek. 37): on Feb. 15, 2026, Tania Koenig (theologian, minister, prophecy teacher, lawyer, and more) wrote the following:
I was in Israel when those three hundred projectiles were launched.
I saw not only Iron Dome interceptors; I saw a nation that refused psychological collapse and the God of Israel fighting for them in a natural way.
There is something preserving that land that cannot be reduced to technology alone.
Koenig then moved down to a speech by Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu at the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations following Netanyahu’s recent visit with Pres. Trump at the White House.
According to Koenig, Netanyahu spoke about:
Israel’s economic endurance.
Israel’s declining inflation and stabilizing interest rates during wartime.
The fact that strong investments are flowing into Israel.
Israel’s cyber dominance.
Israel’s decision to phase out American military aid over a decade and transition from dependency to partnership.
Israel’s belief that it will have a trillion-dollar economy within ten years.
Israel will build its own arms industry.
Israel will fight its own wars without U.S. help.
Koenig added:
Some call Trump the Antichrist.
I do not accept that.
Scripture shows that God has used rulers before—Nebuchadnezzar in exile, Cyrus in restoration—not because they were saints but because they played a role in a larger arc.
God can use unexpected leaders to move history to fulfill prophecies.
The question is not personality; it is function.
Trump is being used to set up a new order in the world that makes the return of Jesus quicker.
He has broken paradigms and old orders.
And perhaps he will put the old American dream of a tech map into action.
Europe has woken up and is changing because of Trump.
Even NATO is changing.
This new anointed of the Lord is changing the world order, and Israel is taking the biggest part of the pie.
(My opinion: I think Koenig is right – prophecy is being fulfilled – and I don’t think there can be any doubt about it. Look at what is happening in Israel despite the fact that many nations have tried – and are trying – to destroy her.)
(FYI: Israel’s great army has about 5,000 female combat soldiers. They are great and powerful because they are fulfilling prophecies of Israel’s great and powerful God.)
Seven, China just showcased the future of humanoid robotics on the world’s biggest stage — the Spring Festival Gala, watched by over 1 billion people.
Humanoid robots from Unitree Robotics delivered a jaw-dropping live performance… and just days later, released shocking footage of the same robots working inside a real manufacturing factory.
This is not a concept.
This is not CGI.
This is real-world humanoid robotics — happening right now.
(FYI: Here is a link to an amazing 5 min. 35 sec. video. I encourage you to watch it.)
Eight, concerning the Islamic effort to destroy Israel with possible implications for the Battle of Gog of Magog (Russia, Turkey, Iran, and others attacking Israel in the latter days and latter years) and the destruction of Damascus, Syria, in one night: on Feb. 7, 2026, former Israeli Prime Min. Naftali Bennett warned that Turkey is becoming a central strategic challenge for Israel.
Bennett said:
Turkey and Qatar are jointly backing Islamist movements across the region.
The two states are nourishing an Islamic Brotherhood monster that eventually might be as dangerous as the one created by Iran.
Their growing influence in Syria, Gaza, and other areas is steadily tightening pressure on Israel, creating what he characterized as a strategic encirclement.
Nine, concerning the rebuilding of Babylon: here is a link that might interest some readers (go to the 6 min. mark).
FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).
Finally, are you Rapture Ready?
If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
ECHOES OF EXCEPTIONALISM: General Washington’s Valley Forge Prayer The story begins in December 1777, after British forces seized Philadelphia. Following a string of demoralizing defeats, Washington led 12,000 Continental soldiers to the wooded hills of Valley Forge, 20 miles northwest of the city. The winter that followed tested whether a nation conceived in liberty could survive. Supply lines collapsed. Local farmers hoarded food for British gold. Rations dwindled to fire-cakes of flour and water. Disease – typhus, dysentery, pneumonia – swept the crude log huts. Between 1,700 and 2,500 perished. Others left bloody footprints in the snow, marching without shoes. On February 16, 1778, Washington wrote bluntly: “Naked and starving as they are, we cannot enough admire the incomparable patience and fidelity of the soldiery…”
Trump’s tariff revenues hit record highs as Supreme Court deals major blow Tariff collections surged to historic highs under President Donald Trump, advancing his trade agenda before the Supreme Court stepped in on Friday to limit the power behind many of the levies. Tariffs have been a defining feature of Trump’s economic agenda since his return to office, and revenue from the duties has risen roughly 300%. In January alone, duties brought in $30.4 billion — up 275% from a year earlier. For the fiscal year to date, collections have reached $124 billion, an increase of about 300% over the same period last year.
Trump gives Iran 10-day ultimatum, but experts signal talks may be buying time for strike On Thursday, he gave Tehran another clock, saying the Islamic Republic has 10 to 15 days to come to the negotiating table or face consequences. The compressed timeline now sits at the center of a new round of high-stakes nuclear diplomacy. But with Trump, deadlines can serve as both warning and weapon.
Pete Hegseth delivers powerful pro-life, anti-woke, ‘Christ is King’ speech ‘I commit to you that I and we should never allow any group, no matter how large or small, to silence us from speaking the capital-T Truth: Christ is King,’ declared Hegseth. Hegesth offered his remarks at the National Religious Broadcasters’ “International Christian Media Convention.” “Under the leadership of President Trump, the military once again supports and trains our troops and tends to their spiritual health,” explained Hegseth. “We train our troops—we no longer trans our troops.”
War Secretary Pete Hegseth electrifies 3,000 Evangelicals at NRB – but makes no mention of possible imminent war with Iran As the keynote speaker at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Convention, the U.S. Secretary of War received so many standing ovations that I lost count. A devout and unabashed Christian and former Fox News broadcaster, Hegseth brought his 3,000 fellow Christian media professionals, journalists, podcasters, and influencers to their feet time and time again by recounting the Christian history of America’s founding 250 years ago. Never comments on biggest U.S. military buildup in Middle East since 2003
Current situation with Iran: Where is it placed in the book of Revelation? Current events regarding Iran have prompted the question, where is this situation placed in the book of Revelation? Bible prophecy is important because it is practical to us today; it should be viewed as a practical guide. Indeed, that’s what the Bible is, and much of the Bible, the word of God, is prophecy. If we are to be good stewards of God’s word, then we must be good stewards of its prophetic content. When it comes to prophecy and current events, many people are oblivious.
A Pre-Purim Earthquake in Iran Bears a Powerful Biblical Message A magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck southern Iran on February 19, 2026, at 7:13 a.m. local time, with its epicenter 35 kilometers southwest of Mohr in Fars province. The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers, sending strong shakes through rural villages and key natural gas fields like Tabnak, Homa, Shanol, and Varavi that fuel Iran’s economy and its support for terrorist groups. Seismologists from the German Research Centre for Geosciences and the U.S. Geological Survey confirmed the details, noting no immediate casualties or widespread destruction, though the event disrupted operations at the nearby Parsian Gas Refinery. This tremor erupted from the ancient core of Persia, the very region where Cyrus the Great launched his empire in 559 BCE,
Pope Leo Snubs Trump’s Board of Peace, Citing UN Concerns — But Vatican’s Anti-Israel Record Speaks for Itself The Vatican has a long memory when it comes to blocking American-led peace initiatives — and a short one when it comes to recognizing Jewish rights in the Land of Israel. When Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary of State, announced Tuesday that Pope Leo would not be joining U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly formed Board of Peace, he framed the decision in procedural language about the United Nations. But for anyone who has watched the Holy See’s decades-long pattern of hostility toward Israeli sovereignty, the refusal carries a familiar echo. Parolin made the announcement on the sidelines of a bilateral meeting with the Italian government in Rome, at the Palazzo Borromeo — the seat of the Italian Embassy to the Holy See — on the anniversary of the signing of the Lateran Pacts. “The Holy See will not participate in the Board of Peace because of its particular nature,
High Court orders gov’t to upgrade Western Wall egalitarian prayer plaza The Israeli Supreme Court, sitting as the High Court of Justice, on Thursday instructed the government to move forward with plans to upgrade an egalitarian prayer section at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, setting deadlines for state authorities to complete long-delayed bureaucratic procedures. The justices ordered the state and the Jerusalem Municipality to provide a status update within 90 days, saying that no additional approvals were required to proceed.
WATCH: Iranian crown prince warns Europe — Follow Iran’s fate if you don’t act Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi warned that unless radical Islam and unchecked immigration are curbed, they will ultimately take over Europe — just as they took over Iran, enslaved its people, and exported terrorism across the globe.
IDF kills three Hezbollah commanders in Baalbek, Lebanon, after strike on command center The IDF killed three Hezbollah commanders in its latest attack in Baalbek, Lebanon, on Friday, according to a report by Saudi media outlet al-Hadath. The commanders killed in the Baalbek strike were Ali Zeid al-Moussawi, Muhammad Ibrahim al-Moussawi, and Hussein Yaghi, according to the Arab language newspaper. The report also mentioned that the strike targeted a commander meeting, while initial reports said that there was a possibility that an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander was targeted in the strike.
As Trump escalates threats, Pentagon prepares for prolonged Iran conflict Trump continues to issue threats as reports say US forces are being evacuated from bases in Qatar and Bahrain; the Pentagon is preparing for a possible conflict, weighing options from targeted killings to regime change, while US officials warn Trump’s ambiguity could provoke a harsh retaliation
Enormous Firepower: Trump Is Establishing Deterrence By Demonstration Of Force Over the past week, the US has transported an enormous amount of firepower to the Middle East. The Air Force has sent AWACS, mid-air refueling tankers, B-52 Stratofortress bombers, and more than 50 fighter jets from all up and down the classification list. Naval assets include two carrier groups, between 7-9 Arleigh-Burke class destroyers, a whole list of support ships, and, if the rumor is accurate, the USS Georgia, a nuclear submarine armed with 154 Tomahawk missiles.
Israel Reviews Wartime Hospital Readiness As Iran Retaliation Fears Mount Iran has warned that if it gets attacked again, it will consider both the United States and Israel to be aggressors, since the two allies work in concert to undermine the Islamic Republic. One major hospital, for example, already suffered damage during the 12-day June conflict, and wants to take no chances amid reports of looming new war: Soroka Medical Center has begun preparing for conflict with Iran, with hospital management and emergency teams updating procedures, checking readiness, and running simulations for wartime scenarios.
Steven Spielberg Flees California Amid Raging Wealth Tax Battle In today’s episode of modern hypocrisy, Steven Spielberg, director of blockbuster hits like Jaws, E.T., Poltergeist and Saving Private Ryan, has moved to Manhattan, according to the Los Angeles Times. A spokesperson for one of Hollywood’s most reliable Democrat Party donors was quick to insist the relocation has nothing to do with California’s highly controversial wealth tax proposal. California is now seriously considering a new wealth tax targeting billionaires, including a levy on unrealized gains. The idea has already spooked investors and contributed to several high-profile tech figures running for the exits. It’s a familiar pattern when progressive policies finally start to bite, a surprising number of billionaires discover a sudden deep affection for Florida, Texas, or even New York.
“Hubris Generally Precedes Cluster …. Does It Smell Like Victory? The Islamic Republic suddenly looks like Rock-and-Hard-Place-Land. Everybody and his uncle are trying to figure out the calculus in play, World War Three or a happy ending? You’re seeing the most significant US military build-up over there in memory. Smells a little bit like first Gulf War, 1991 . Mr. Trump (via Marco Rubio) has read Euroland out on this one. We are in a cold war with those birds, in case you haven’t noticed. The UK, France, Germany & Co.? They are as crazy as the ladies of The View and their millions of Cluster-B followers. Euroland is yet in thrall to the climate nutters, the farm-and-industry-destroyers, the one-worlders, the Jihad-migrationists, the floundering banksters, and the Klaus Schwab wannabes.
Florida Lawmakers Approve Renaming Palm Beach Airport After Trump The measure, now awaiting Gov. Ron DeSantis’s signature, comes at the same time as the Trump family’s recent federal trademark filings for airport names incorporating the president’s identity. The Trump Organization says it will see no financial gain from the Palm Beach site. The Florida Senate passed SB 706 in a 25–11 vote. The legislation is sponsored by state Sen. Debbie Mayfield, a Republican from Melbourne. The vote came days after the House approved a companion bill, HB 919, 81–30. “President Trump is the first president that Florida has had in our history, and I think it’s very appropriate for us to be naming one of the other icons in Palm Beach after him,” Mayfield told Politico in January.
‘There is a plan, but challenges are immense,’ Tony Blair speaks to i24NEWS on Gaza at the first Board of Peace summit in Washington, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair outlines the challenges and opportunities for Gaza stabilization. Blair, who was originally considered to lead the Board of Peace before procedural complications led to a different appointment, offered a measured assessment of the summit and its challenges. According to Blair, the “big thing right now is the disarmament of Hamas,” emphasizing that the success of any plan depends on dismantling militant capabilities and ensuring governance authority through a technocratic committee. “There is a plan. It depends crucially on demilitarization of Gaza and ensuring that this new technocratic committee can govern with authority. And we just have to try and make it work,” Blair said.
Ted Cruz says it is ‘Entirely possible’ that Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba regimes will fall in next 6 months U.S. politics may be intersecting with prophetic tremors on the global stage in ways that command attention from those watching end-times dynamics. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) recently stated that it’s “entirely possible” the existing regimes in Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba could fall within the next six months — potentially replaced by governments more aligned with the United States — in what he described as one of the most consequential geopolitical shifts since the end of the Cold War.
Earth’s natural ‘humming’ vibration experiences a series of unusual spikes in recent weeks leaving experts baffled A striking report from the Daily Mail recently highlighted a series of unusual, sharp spikes in Earth’s natural electromagnetic rhythm — often described in science and New Age circles as the planet’s “heartbeat” — coupled with claims that these anomalies are affecting human cognition, perception, and even brain activity. monitors tracking these resonances recently recorded an exceptionally large spike, one that cut vertically through spectral plots in a way believers characterize as an unprecedented “anomaly” in the Earth’s electromagnetic signature. The idea that Earth’s electromagnetic rhythms could influence human physiology tends to gain traction in circles that emphasize heart-brain connections, circadian rhythms, and energetic resonance between living beings and planetary systems. the cosmic signs in Joel and Revelation lead many believers to consider whether changes in Earth’s behavior — regardless of the mechanism — are part of the “birth pains” that Jesus said would characterize the last days.
NYC’s Socialist Mayor Mamdani Dumps Millions on DEI Grifters While Axing 5,000 Cops Brian Kilmeade and former NYPD Chief John Chell raised concerns about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s budget allocations, questioning whether diversity and equity programs are being prioritized over public safety as the city debates spending levels and potential property tax increases.
Supreme Court blocks Trump tariffs in major test of executive branch powers The Supreme Court on Friday blocked President Trump’s use of an emergency law to unilaterally impose sweeping tariffs on most U.S. trading partners, delivering a blow to the president in a case centered on one of his signature economic policies — one he characterized as “life or death” for the U.S. economy.
Trump considering limited strikes to force Iran to make nuclear deal – report President Trump is considering launching limited strikes on Iran to force it to accept his demands for a nuclear agreement. Citing people familiar with the matter, the Journal said preliminary US strikes on Iran could begin within days, targeting some military or government sites but stopping short of a full-scale assault that could trigger a major Iranian response.
Trump gets billions in pledges from nine countries at ‘Board of Peace’ meeting They pledged $7 billion toward a Gaza relief package, and five countries agreed to deploy troops as part of an international stabilization force. The dollars promised represent a small fraction of the estimated $70 billion needed to rebuild the territory decimated after two years of war between Israel and Hamas. And Trump faces the unresolved challenge of disarming Hamas.
Democrats’ Absurd Objections to the SAVE Act The SAVE Act would require proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections; a valid photo ID before casting a ballot; and instead of states automatically sending vote-by-mail ballots to every voter, a registered voter must request one. It would require states to purge voter rolls every 30 days, keeping them up to date. Dems oppose these requirements.
Police statement in full as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested Prince Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Thames Valley Police confirmed the arrest on Thursday following allegations made against the former prince after the release of millions of pages of files related to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew is the first senior royal in modern history to be arrested.
The Evolving Battle Over Vaccine Mandates and Informed Consent in America Florida’s Surgeon Gen. Dr. Ladapo announced the state’s intention to eliminate all vaccine mandates. This policy shift, initially proposed in Sept 2025 by Gov. DeSantis (R) and Ladapo, aims to dismantle mandates for schools, nursing homes, etc. If enacted by the Legislature, it could start a ripple effect, as more people are waking up to the truth about vaccines.
U.S., June 2025: President Donald Trump discloses that American B-2 bombers conducted airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities. Image courtesy of the Islamic Republic News Agency.
The Trump administration has given Iran 10 to 15 days to agree to U.S. terms in the ongoing nuclear talks, warning that Tehran would be “very wise” to make a deal. Unlike previous U.S. administrations that put a band-aid on the cancer, President Trump is making demands that would eliminate the Iranian threat almost completely.
He is calling for a full halt to all uranium enrichment, the dismantling of Iran’s proxy network by ending funding and arms transfers to proxy groups such as Hezbollah, the Houthis, and militias in Iraq and Syria, and limits on Iran’s long-range ballistic missile program, which was excluded from Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal.
Following the violent suppression of nationwide protests in late 2025 and early 2026, Trump has also tied negotiations to the regime’s treatment of its own citizens, warning of strikes if executions of protesters continue.
The remarks came during the second round of nuclear talks in Geneva, where U.S. officials say Iran has not met core demands. Vice President JD Vance accused Tehran of avoiding key issues, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed progress, citing agreement on “guiding principles.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said there were “many reasons and arguments that one could make for a strike against Iran” but emphasized that diplomacy remains President Trump’s first option. She referenced last June’s Operation Midnight Hammer, when coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes targeted Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan using B-2 stealth bombers and bunker-buster munitions.
Although claims that Iran’s nuclear program was “completely obliterated” were overstated, the operation significantly degraded key infrastructure. Iran had moved enriched uranium in advance, and while facilities were damaged rather than destroyed, the program did not return to pre-strike operational levels.
Despite the foreign minister’s claims of progress, the phrase “guiding principles” signals only an agreement to continue negotiating rather than resolution of any core issue. The parties committed to exchanging draft proposals and maintaining dialogue, but no narrowing of disputes was announced on enrichment levels, sanctions relief, verification mechanisms, or the scope of talks.
Iran wants negotiations confined strictly to its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief and has declared its missile program non-negotiable, with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei setting clear red lines on deterrent capabilities. Jason Brodsky of United Against Nuclear Iran told Fox News there is deep skepticism within the administration that talks will produce an acceptable outcome, arguing the diplomatic process may be buying time to position additional U.S. military assets in the region. He said Tehran continues to reject zero enrichment, dismantlement of nuclear infrastructure, missile restrictions, and an end to support for proxy groups.
Behnam Taleblu of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies warned that Iran could propose an agreement that simply formalizes the current reality, securing sanctions relief without major concessions. He said Tehran’s objectives are to deter a strike, stabilize its economy through financial relief, and blunt internal dissent, while showing potential flexibility only on enrichment parameters if sanctions relief is substantial.
Speaking at Fort Bragg, Trump criticized Tehran’s leadership and argued that greater pressure is needed in nuclear negotiations, describing Iran as “difficult” to deal with. He added that regime change would be the “best thing that could happen” in Iran.
The United States has expanded its military presence in the Middle East, deploying two aircraft carriers near Iranian waters, the USS Gerald R. Ford and the USS Abraham Lincoln, supported by dozens of advanced aircraft and more than 50 additional fighter jets at regional bases.
Iran responded with war games in the Strait of Hormuz, joint naval exercises with Russia in the Sea of Oman, temporary maritime restrictions described as security precautions, and renewed emphasis on its anti-ship missile capabilities.
Without naming names, President Trump said, “There are people” who could replace the current regime.
Analysts say the military buildup signals readiness for possible action, even as ambiguity remains over the scope and objective of any strike. Jacob Olidort of the America First Policy Institute said Trump prefers to give diplomacy a chance but would likely turn to military options if talks fail.
Energy markets are watching closely. Iran partially closed the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil chokepoints between Oman and Iran. In 2025, about 13 million barrels per day of crude oil flowed through the waterway, accounting for roughly 31% of global seaborne crude flows. Oil prices rose amid heightened tensions, with Brent climbing to $71.41 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate reaching $66.27.

Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad unloaded on the UN for granting the nation, ruled by a brutal regime that regularly commits violence against its own people, a role on the UN Human Rights Council.
Alinejad shared, “Thank you so much, everyone. I am supposed to talk only in three minutes, but in my country, in 24 hours, they killed 40,000 people in Iran.”
“And I am here at the United Nations while the killers are walking here. I saw them with expensive Gucci bags. I saw them with expensive brands walking here at the United Nations. And this is the right time. UN Watch invited me. I’m very thankful, but I am going to talk the truth. United Nations is a sad joke.”
“Ironically, I was invited by the US government recently to testify at the Security Council at the United Nations. And I said that the Secretary General of United Nations stand with dictators. Here I’m going to ask you three steps that they took and I will ask you whether they stand with dictators or with the victims. As Hilal mentioned, this is should be the United Nations stand with the victims. Three steps.”
“First, The Secretary General of United Nations sent a congratulation letter to Islamic Republic for the anniversary of this murderous regime. You tell me, do they stand with dictators or the victims? The victims are here, these two women. One of them lost her eye because the revolutionary guard shot her in her eye, Kosar. One of them carried a bullet on her arm, Sima, do they stand with them?”
“No, we have only three minutes. But the killers have everything here. Second step, Afsaneh Nadipour…how ironic. Now she’s in charge. The woman who was in charge to oppress women in my country now is in charge to monitor women’s rights globally.”
“This is not an insult to Iranian. This is an insult to all of you living in democratic countries. This is a slap on your face because they are being now in charge to make sure that your human rights, your basic rights, is being respected by your government. A representative from a murderous regime is in charge to take care of you all in Europe.”
“And third, they invited Arafat, thanks to the UN, thanks to the, can I show the signature? Thanks to 300,000 signature, ordinary people, they canceled Arafat, but instead they invite this person, who actually in the negotiation table with the United States of America, in the West stole the pen. This is the character, low class killers. And now, seven days. In seven days, he is going to give a talk at the United Nations.”
“I want Geneva to hear the voice of Iranians. Right now, after killing 40,000 people, they are storming to hospitals, they’re finishing off the injured ones, they’re arresting doctors and nurses, they put the political prisoners on the death row, they’re executing them. I want to ask Geneva to host a peace conference, invite the opposition from Iran, invite the leaders of Europe, invite the leaders from European country and free world here to talk about an Iran without Islamic Republic. I know my time is over, three minutes, but I’m going to show you something. This, okay, the West waited too long.”
“That doesn’t call you Islamophobic if you treat ISIS the way that they deserve to be.”
“Yes. And the West waited too long. Too long. When I was fighting against compulsory a job, they were like, ‘oh, this is Islamophobic. Oh, no, we have to respect others’ culture.’ All the female politicians from West, they went to my country, they bowed compulsory a job from Sweden, Netherlands, Germany, France from everywhere, high representative of Europe. They waited too long until Marseilles, you know, I mean, he got killed. Suddenly they realized, oh, this is not their culture. They started to cut their hair to show their solidarity with us.”
“Stop cutting your hair. Cut your ties with our killers.”
“And second, they waited too long to designate Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization. After seven years after America did that, Suddenly, seven years later, they decided to designate Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization. Shame. Seven years waited, and now 40,000 people have been killed. Now the time has come to understand. Don’t wait that long. They call this reformist.”
“That’s why they keep the doors of diplomacy open when it comes to Rouhani. He killed 1,500 people. You call them reformists, we call them chiller. He is now ‘reformist.’ Under his regime. 40,000 people have been killed. When I see my sister standing here, my sister with bullets in their body, being blinded, standing here, I feel ashamed that I am alive. I don’t carry the bullet.”
“How come Europeans do not feel ashamed by calling these people reformists?”
“They are ISIS, kick them out from your country and stand with the victims, not dictators. I know I had only three minutes. I’m gonna leave Geneva forever. You can kick me out forever, but I couldn’t keep silent because I feel the guilt on my shoulder. I don’t know how to save my people with empty hand. I cannot sometimes sleep. I cannot breathe. I cannot even eat because I feel guilty. I cannot believe how come the leaders of European countries do not feel guilty by shaking the hand of those Islamic Republic officials full of blood, shame on you.”
“And thank you so much, UN Watch.”
Alinejad shared her video comments on X writing, “At the United Nations, I confronted a disturbing reality: the Islamic Republic has been granted an advisory role at the UN Human Rights Council.”
“Yes, the same regime that massacres protesters and shoots them in the eyes is now positioned to lecture the world on human rights.”
“Europe’s hesitation to designate the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization has cost lives. Please listen to my message to Europeans.”
“The time for excuse is over.”
Watch:

One of the biggest events in this era of human history is about to kick off, and I don’t know if anyone is truly ready for what is about to happen next. A full-blown war with Iran won’t be anything like any of the other wars that we have fought in the Middle East. The Iranians are quite capable of fighting back. Since the middle of last year, the Iranians have been feverishly developing new weapons systems and have been importing vast amounts of military equipment from Russia and China. They feel like they are far better prepared this time around, and I would agree with that assessment. But the U.S. and Israel are also very well prepared too. Once the missiles start flying, there will be no holding back, and I think that the whole world will be deeply shocked by what takes place.
On Wednesday, multiple mainstream outlets were reporting that U.S. strikes on Iran could begin as soon as this weekend…
Top national security officials have told President Trump the military is ready for potential strikes on Iran as soon as Saturday, but the timeline for any action is likely to extend beyond this weekend, sources familiar with the discussions told CBS News.
Mr. Trump has not yet made a final decision about whether to strike, said the officials, who spoke under condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national matters.
The conversations have been described as fluid and ongoing, as the White House weighs the risks of escalation and the political and military consequences of restraint.
But then on Thursday, President Trump seemed to suggest that Iran may still have about 10 days to agree to his demands…
That blaring warning came at the president’s first-ever Board of Peace meeting in Washington on Thursday where he complained about the high cost of war.
He bragged about bringing ‘peace to the Middle East,’ but then subsequently threatened minutes later that if Iran doesn’t make a meaningful peace deal ‘bad things [will] happen.’
‘We may have to take it a step further, or we may not. Maybe we’re going to make a deal..,’ Trump said of breakdowns in nuclear talks.
‘You’re going to be finding out over the next probably 10 days,’ he added.
But whether it is this weekend or next weekend or even next month, war is coming, because the Iranians were never going to give Trump what he wants.
So preparations for war continue.
According to NBC News, “a slew of additional weaponry” is being deployed to the Middle East on top of everything that is already there…
The Pentagon is sending a slew of additional weaponry to the Middle East, including more warships, air defenses and submarines, in preparation for a possible military strike on Iran if President Donald Trump makes that decision, according to U.S. officials and information from public tracking.
It has been a long time since we have witnessed a naval buildup of this magnitude.
Once the USS Gerald R. Ford is in position in the Mediterranean Sea in a few days, the Iranians will be facing naval threats from multiple directions…
Meanwhile, the USS Gerald R. Ford, the second aircraft carrier that Trump is sending to the Middle East, and its accompanying ships are steaming across the Atlantic Ocean into the Mediterranean Sea, according to U.S. officials. It is expected there in coming days, and a nuclear submarine remains in the Mediterranean.
When it does it will join the USS Abraham Lincoln and the attendant ships which form its carrier strike group in the Persian Gulf, according to U.S. officials.
A number of other ships are also in the region, including at least three littoral combat ships, a guided missile destroyer in the Red Sea and two guided missile destroyers in the Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz, according to the ship tracker at the U.S. Naval Institute.
Over just eight hours on Wednesday, CBS News Confirmed was able to identify more than 50 U.S. Air Force and Navy aircraft flying east from military airfields on both U.S. coasts to the United Kingdom, continental Europe and on to the Middle East, where some then disappeared from radar around the Jordan-Saudi Arabia border.
The aircraft seen in transit were mostly refueling, transport and surveillance planes. In addition to the public tracking information, photographs have shown U.S. Air Force F-15, F-22, and F-35 fighter jets landing at U.K. bases and taking off again this week.
The images, captured by civilian plane spotters who upload them to social media, indicate that in addition to the logistics aircraft revealed by tracking data, American strike power has also been moving into the region.
The flights tracked by CBS News on Wednesday represented only a fraction of the hundreds of aircraft movements visible in recent days.
The amount of firepower that the U.S. has accumulated in the Middle East is absolutely staggering. The following image which was originally created by @IANELLISJONES and is being widely shared all over social media shows just how extensive the buildup of air and naval assets has been…
I don’t think that there will be any turning back now.
Israel apparently believes that something could happen quite soon, because the Home Front Command has been ordered to prepare for war, and “a state of maximum alert has been declared across various Israeli security agencies”…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the Israeli Home Front Command to prepare for a potential war with Iran, Israeli media reported Wednesday evening.
Netanyahu issued directives to “various rescue agencies and the Home Front Command to prepare for war,” according to the daily Yedioth Ahronoth.
The newspaper added that “a state of maximum alert has been declared across various Israeli security agencies.”
Why are they declaring a state of “maximum alert” so soon?
Do they know something that we do not?
In anticipation of what is coming, the Israelis have also been conducting airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon…
A wave of overnight Israeli airstrikes in several areas of southern Lebanon targeted Hezbollah weapon depots, rocket launchers, and other military sites, the IDF says.
The military says the presence of the Hezbollah sites were a violation of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon.
Today’s episode of The Patriot Perspective examined a question that has been quietly building for months: Is the United States on the brink of direct confrontation with Iran?
For weeks, speculation has surrounded the stability of the Iranian regime, the trajectory of U.S.–Iran negotiations, and the role of Israel in any potential escalation. What once felt like a distant geopolitical conspiracy theory now appears increasingly operational.
Military movements across the Middle East have intensified, with reports of additional U.S. aircraft and assets repositioned throughout the region. While routine deployments are common, the scale and consistency of recent activity suggest preparation rather than symbolism.
Diplomatic talks, meanwhile, appear stalled. There has been no publicly celebrated breakthrough from the Trump administration, no announced concessions from Tehran, and no clear path toward de-escalation. That absence of progress formed the backbone of our discussion.
When diplomacy stalls and military positioning accelerates, strategic planners begin operating on contingency timelines.
President Donald Trump has framed Iran as a central national security threat since his first term, withdrawing from the 2015 JCPOA, widely known as the nuclear deal, and reinstating sanctions under a “maximum pressure” doctrine. That approach aimed to weaken the regime economically and force renegotiation on more restrictive nuclear terms.
The open question today is whether pressure alone remains the strategy, or whether deterrence is about to shift into enforcement.
On the podcast, we explored the binary facing the administration. One option is restraint: de-escalate rhetorically, allow sanctions to continue squeezing Iran’s economy, and avoid direct military engagement.
The alternative is to follow through on repeated warnings that Iran cannot advance its nuclear capabilities without consequence.
Historically, Trump’s foreign policy style has leaned heavily on unpredictability combined with clear red lines.
In other words, Trump does not bluff.
Israel’s role also looms large. Tehran’s funding of proxy groups across the region, combined with its nuclear ambitions, places Israel at the center of any strategic calculation.
Any U.S. decision will be weighed not only against American interests but against the security posture of regional allies.
The broader strategic environment complicates matters further. Iran’s internal instability, marked by recurring protests and economic distress, raises questions about whether the regime could weaken from within.
Some believe external military pressure could accelerate the collapse. Others argue that direct confrontation would unify domestic factions around the regime.
The central theme of the episode was timing. If an operation is coming, when does it happen? Within weeks? Months? Or does the military buildup function primarily as leverage in negotiations that have not yet concluded?
What is clear is that the situation has moved beyond abstract debate. The confluence of stalled diplomacy, visible military preparation, and a president known for executing on threats creates a volatile equation.
Whether Iran has miscalculated the resolve of the current administration remains to be seen, but strategic signals from Washington suggest that passivity is no longer the default.
As discussed on The Patriot Perspective, the coming days will likely clarify whether this moment represents a warning for Iran—or the prelude to a decisive shift in U.S. Middle East policy.

A senior advisor to President Donald Trump has warned of a 90% chance of military action against Iran in the coming weeks, stating that “the boss is getting fed up.”
The unnamed advisor told Axios that while some around Trump have warned against war with Iran, kinetic action is likely soon.
“The sources noted it would likely be a joint U.S.-Israeli campaign that’s much broader in scope — and more existential for the regime — than the Israeli-led 12-day war last June, which the U.S. eventually joined to take out Iran’s underground nuclear facilities,” the report explains.
The report adds:
The timeline: The Israeli government — which is pushing for a maximalist scenario targeting regime change as well as Iran’s nuclear and missile programs — is preparing for a scenario of war within days, according to two Israeli officials.
Some U.S. sources tell Axios that the U.S. might need more time. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said strikes could still be weeks away. But others say the timeline could be shorter.
“The boss is getting fed up. Some people around him warn him against going to war with Iran, but I think there is 90% chance we see kinetic action in the next few weeks,” one Trump adviser said.
This warning follows three-hour talks in Geneva on February 18 between Trump advisers Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Both sides described the discussions as making progress, but U.S. officials indicated that wide gaps remain.
Vice President JD Vance stated that the negotiations went well in some aspects but that Trump has set red lines the Iranians are not yet willing to acknowledge. He added that diplomacy could reach its natural end soon.
The U.S. has accelerated military deployments in the Middle East, including two aircraft carriers, dozens of warships, hundreds of fighter jets, and more than 150 cargo flights carrying weapons and ammunition.
In the past 24 hours, an additional 50 fighter jets, including F-35s, F-22s, and F-16s, have been sent to the region.
On Tuesday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened to sink US warships.
“The Americans constantly say that they’ve sent a warship toward Iran,” Khamenei wrote in a post on X. “Of course, a warship is a dangerous piece of military hardware.”
The Americans constantly say that they’ve sent a warship toward Iran. Of course, a warship is a dangerous piece of military hardware. However, more dangerous than that warship is the weapon that can send that warship to the bottom of the sea.
Researchers in Top U.S. Labs Have Ties to Chinese Communist Party A new report has identified at least 21 Chinese nationals working in U.S. universities and federally funded labs whose backgrounds make them “a likely asset to the Chinese Communist Party.” The shocking development raises immediate national security concerns as evidence mounts that Beijing is using access to U.S. taxpayer-funded research to advance its military capabilities and erode America’s economic edge.

US urges Iran to accept Trump’s proposal in nuclear talks It would be “very wise” for Iran to agree to Donald Trump’s proposal in negotiations with the United States. That is the message from the White House. Diplomacy is “always President Trump’s first option,” says White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, adding that “it would be very wise for Iran” to reach an agreement. Otherwise, the message is that the US may attack Iran. “There are many arguments to be made for an attack,” Leavitt says.
Pope will not participate in Trump’s peace council The Holy See is refusing due to the “special nature” of the council, which is clearly not based on the participation of states, Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin said, according to Vatican News.

While VP Vance touts progress in Iran talks, US and Israel prepare for military option U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that while the negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland went well, Iran is apparently unwilling to acknowledge certain “red lines” of U.S. President Donald Trump. “The United States has certain red lines,” Vance told Fox News. “Our primary interest here is we don’t want Iran to get a nuclear weapon. We don’t want nuclear proliferation.” Vance indicated that the United States is still interested in pursuing diplomatic means for a deal, even while building up a significant military presence in the Middle East.
Trump attack on Iran appears imminent — Evangelical Johnnie Moore expects Trump to utterly vanquish Iran’s offensive capabilities There is growing evidence — and lots of speculation by Mideast experts, military analysts, and journalists — that an attack could happen in the coming hours or days. Sources for ALL ISRAEL NEWS keep using the word “imminently.”The Israel Defense Forces are on the highest possible alert.

The Lost Tribes are coming home, but first, they must leave Egypt behind have been blessed to get to know hundreds of Christians who read my articles because they feel spiritually drawn to Israel. This may seem counterintuitive. Yes, Jesus was Jewish, an undeniable fact that many Christians have difficulty coming to terms with. Replacement theology, one of the pillars of Catholicism and Protestantism, tries to erase the nation of Israel from the Bible and replace elements of Judaism. But suddenly, the fulfillment of God’s promise to return His people to the land of Israel posed an existential threat to the theological basis of Christianity as the replacement of the Jewish people in the covenant.
Satellite images show Iran reinforcing military and nuclear sites hit in Israeli and U.S. strikes Satellite images show Iran has moved to reinforce a range of military and nuclear-related facilities damaged in Israeli and U.S. strikes, undertaking construction and repair projects that analysts say are intended to shield key infrastructure as diplomatic engagement with Washington continues. At the Parchin military complex, imagery indicates that a structure reportedly hit by Israel in October 2024 has been sealed beneath a concrete layer and covered with soil, effectively masking it from aerial observation.

US Energy Secretary: We will stop Iran’s nuclear march one way or the other The United States will prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons “one way or the other,” US Energy Secretary Chris Wright warned on Wednesday. Speaking at an International Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting in Paris and quoted by AFP, Wright underscored the administration’s unwavering stance against Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. US President Donald Trump “believes firmly we cannot have a nuclear-armed Iran,” Wright stated. “They’ve been very clear about what they would do with nuclear weapons. It’s entirely unacceptable.”
F-22s in the sky, Tomahawks at sea: How a US strike on Iran could begin Trump has sent a ‘beautiful armada’ of fighter jets, warships, submarines and aircraft carriers to the Middle East; officials warn it could soon act, with carriers able to launch thousands of sorties and Tomahawk strikes deep into Iran
Iran urges Hezbollah to enter potential war, Israel sends clear message Unlike during the 12-day war, Tehran now wants the Shiite terrorist group to take part in any future confrontation with Israel, and Israeli officials have warned Hezbollah that if it intervenes the blow will be very painful, while also preparing for possible involvement by the Houthis and other Iranian proxies
GOP Demands Investigation, Arrest After Soros-Backed Philly DA Vows To ‘Hunt Down’ ICE Agents Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is under fire after saying he would “hunt down” federal immigration agents, remarks that have prompted a Republican congressman to call for a criminal investigation. Krasner made the comments during a public appearance at Penn Square last week, where he described ICE agents as “a small bunch of wannabe Nazis.” He added, “if we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities.”

The European Parliament adopted the resolution by an overwhelming margin (502 votes in favor and 2 against) signaling broad cross-party concern over what lawmakers described as the misuse of national security frameworks to restrict fundamental rights, including freedom of religion.

Now They Are Actually Admitting There Is A Massive “Gravity Hole” Underneath Antarctica? For decades, we were told to ignore strange reports about Antarctica. Experts said nothing unusual was going on, nothing to be concerned about. We couldn’t go investigate for ourselves, because there are 72 areas of Antarctica only those with a special permit are allowed to enter. And if you try to fly to Antarctica without authorization, you will get into all sorts of trouble.
US Withdrawing All Forces from Syria, Over a Year After Regime Change By Proxy War US forces, after many years, has withdrawn from the Al-Tanf Garrison base in southern Syria near the border of Iraq and Jordan.

Mamdani Taps ‘Abolish ICE’ Activist/Former CAIR Employee Faiza Ali as NYC’s New Chief Immigration Officer He put a chicken hawk in charge of the hen house. Islamo-communist NYC Mayor Mamdani has done just that once again by tapping Faiza Ali as commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs. She’s a rabid “Abolish ICE” activist with a long history of cop hatred. She also used to work for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a front for Muslim terrorists.
US Pentagon Moves to Blacklist Anthropic AI for Refusing to Spy on Americans The US Dept of Defense is considering blacklisting one of America’s leading AI companies after it refused to let military use its technology without ethical limits.

The Pentagon is reportedly considering designating the company a “supply chain risk” and severing ties.
Final Pieces Moving Into Place for Potential Attack on Iran A large wave of American airpower is heading toward the Middle East to bolster forces already there as President Trump considers an attack against Iran. Online flight trackers show Raptors, Fighting Falcons, Sentry radar planes, and a spy plane in transit across the Atlantic or newly arrived in Europe. In addition, a guided missile destroyer.
Satellite images reportedly show Iran repairing and fortifying sites amid US tensions Iran recently built a concrete shield over a new facility at a sensitive military site and covered it in soil, advancing work at a location bombed by Israel in 2024 amid tensions with the US.

Surprising Revival: Gen Z Men & Highly Educated Lead Return to Religion For the first time in decades, Pew Research notes, in the U.S. at least, Christianity has stopped its nosedive as more people begin to see the efficacy and the rewards of religious faith and practice. One startling finding in America and abroad is that, contrary to past assertions, today the faithful are not poor and ignorant but increasingly from the educated upper middle class.
Rubio Declares ‘New Western Century’ In World Speech, Says America Won’t Oversee ‘Managed Decline’ In a twenty-minute speech, Rubio harkened back to the golden age of the West and revealed how it can come about again. Secretary of State Marco Rubio used his first appearance at the Munich Security Conference to deliver a call for a renewed “Western century” grounded in sovereignty, industrial power, borders, and civilizational confidence. “The euphoria of this triumph led us to a dangerous delusion,” Rubio said, describing the post-Cold War belief that history had ended and that liberal democracy would inevitably spread. “That every nation would now be a liberal democracy; that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood; that the rules-based global order would replace the national interest.”“This was a foolish idea

The California Governor’s Race Has Become a Nightmare for Democrats Could it really come to pass that no Democrat appears on the November general election ballot for governor in California? Despite handwringing from liberals and excited optimism from Republicans, it’s unlikely. But the fact that such an outcome is even possible underscores the absurdity of California’s voting procedures – and casts a spotlight on rampant corruption and shadiness in the Golden State’s elections.
Rand Paul introduces bill to repeal vaccine liability shield from big pharma corporations The bill would eliminate the general immunity vaccine manufacturers have enjoyed for nearly 40 years and allow families to pursue civil lawsuits for redress due to injuries or death. While federal data show more than 1.6 million such injury or death reports from vaccines, a 2010 Harvard study reveals these figures represent only an estimated 1% of actual injuries.
Eleven killed in U.S. attacks on suspected drug boats “Intelligence confirmed that the vessels were traveling along known drug smuggling routes,” U.S. Southern Command (Southcom) wrote in a statement on X.

Iran operating secret ‘black box’ sites holding thousands in detention: Tens of thousands of Iranians are being held in “black box” detention sites with no judicial oversight, official records, and no way for families to confirm whether their loved ones are alive, according to reports. The facilities — which the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) says evoke memories of prison camps from the 1980s — have sparked alarm among human rights advocates amid unrest across the country. Trump: Regime change would be the ‘best thing’ for Iran.
The black market for Russian and Iranian oil is in trouble Oil smuggling has been so enormously profitable that no matter how many obstacles Washington and Brussels put up, the barrels kept flowing. With a daily turnover of $1 billion, the black market has been just too attractive. For the first time, however, I see cracks in the illicit business. Millions of barrels of unsold Iranian and Russian crude are accumulating in storage. The reason isn’t just more U.S. and European sanctions and political pressure. Sure, they’ve helped. But the key factor is more mundane: The buyers of sanctioned crude oil have plenty of alternative aboveboard barrels available — at reasonable prices. Playing by the rules carries a smaller cost.
Former prime minister warns ‘Turkey is the new Iran’ Bennett said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan represents a calculated and expanding danger to Israel’s security.

JD Vance: ‘Trump has shown clearly he is not Barack Obama US Vice President tells Fox News President Trump is more willing to act ‘aggressively’ to protect America’s national security, an Iranian nuke would be ‘awful for the future of our children.’ President Trump “has shown very clearly that he is not Barack Obama,” Vance stated. “He takes a much different approach to America’s national security, and he’s much more willing to act aggressively to defend America’s national security.”
Minister Nir Barkat: Emirates model can replace Palestinian Authority Minister of Economy and Industry Nir Barkat addressed the question of whether Israel has reached “the day after” the war and laid out his vision for the next stage regarding the Gaza Strip. “I believe that there’s an alternative to a two-state solution,” Barkat said. “We have to rip apart the Palestinian Authority. They have no right of existence and replace it with the model of Emirates.” Rather than creating a Palestinian state and kicking the Jews out,” he explained, “the plan envisions a set of autonomies that would coexist side by side with Israeli communities.”According to Barkat, “the model is supported by the right of center and by settlers.’ He pointed to Hebron as the first potential example, Barkat described the model as the key to coexistence in the Middle East … .
Iranian officials moving to consolidate power for a post-Khamenei era Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Iranian Defense Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani are attempting to consolidate their power to defend their positions in a post-Khamenei Iran, according to an analysis published by the think tank the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) on Monday. Attempts to consolidate power began shortly after the 12-day war between Israel and Iran in June, when the regime established the Defense Council.
Trump to be ‘indirectly’ involved in Iran nuclear negotiations The president says Tehran does not want to face the consequences of not making a deal as a second round of talks opens in Geneva amid a U.S. military buildup. “I would say they’re bad negotiators because we could have had a deal instead of sending the B-2s in to knock out their nuclear potential. I hope they’re going to be more reasonable.
US builds up forces as Iran threatens, officials say ‘Iran does not recognize red lines’ The latest round of talks in Geneva ended Tuesday, and despite optimistic signals from Tehran and comments by a U.S. official that Iran would return within two weeks with proposals, Washington continues to move forces into the Middle East. In Israel, officials are pessimistic about the chances of success. Tehran was still unwilling at this stage to accept some of President Donald Trump’s red lines. At the same time, war rhetoric has intensified in Iran, with threats from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and ongoing military drills.
China’s Unprecedented Oil Stockpiling Sparks Questions If Beijing Is Preparing For War As John Kemp of JKemp Energy notes, China has been accumulating crude oil inventories to take advantage of relatively low prices and act as an emergency reserve in any future conflict with the United States and its allies. “Energy production and stockpile buildups often precede great power industrial wars,”
Tropical Cyclone Gezani leaves at least 63 dead across Madagascar and Mozambique Tropical Cyclone Gezani has left at least 63 people dead across Madagascar and Mozambique after striking eastern Madagascar on February 10, and later passing 15 km (9 miles) offshore from Mozambique’s Inhambane coast before weakening over the Mozambique Channel.

Have You Seen What China’s New Humanoid AI-Powered Robots Are Capable of Doing? The video footage of humanoid AI-powered robots in China that I’m about to share with you truly blew me away. During the CCTV Spring Festival gala, humanoid AI-powered robots built by Unitree performed an incredibly complex martial arts routine that was simply jaw-dropping. I never thought we’d get to a point where robots could move like that.

Over 40 Years Ago, John Todd Warned About An 8-Step Plan to Take Over the World In 1978, John Todd testified to an audience about six letters he’d read, couriered from London. In one letter was an 8-year plan for step-by-step world takeover. They’re in the process of a trial-and-error right now, and they test things. This year, they’re going to see if they can’t starve you, shut all electricity off in the East Coast. The timetable in the book Atlas Shrugged ended with: ‘When the lights of New York City go out for the last time, we will have the World!’”
FRANCE’S NATIONAL SUICIDE: Assembly Moves to Give Non-EU Foreigners Municipal Voting Power – Citizenship Erased France’s National Assembly has taken another step toward a quiet but radical political transformation: shift from citizenship to residency as the basis for democratic power. On Feb 4, the Assembly’s commission adopted a constitutional proposal backed by Ecologists to grant non-EU foreign residents (anyone in the world with any legal status in France, including ‘refugee’) the right to vote and stand as candidates in municipal elections.
Islamic Prayer Is Now Broadcasting on the Streets of NEW YORK CITY – 5 Times per Day “With Mamdani as Mayor, residents hear the “Islamic Call to Prayer” in Manhattan. Five times a day! My lord, America – the conquest we’ve warned about is exploding now. The Adhan isn’t a “beautiful call to prayer”; it’s a militant declaration: “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is greater than your gods, laws, freedoms), “There is no god but Allah” (all other faiths are false).
Meta Considers Timed Face Recognition Launch to Exploit Distracted Society Meta is weighing whether to add face recognition to its camera-equipped smart glasses. Meta thinks about when to launch it: “during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups we’d expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.” Meta wants to release a mass biometric surveillance product while people most likely to fight it are too distracted to respond.
US Military Blows Up 3 Alleged Drug Boats, Killing 11, After Lull Since January The Pentagon’s whole anti-narco boat operations fell relatively silent for the past more than a month in the wake of the January 3rd US military raid on Venezuela to overthrow the Maduro government. Surely there was still drug trafficking off Latin America, but with ‘mission accomplished’ in Caracas, the public PR ‘anti-drug’ pretext was no longer needed, apparently.
Google Warns Chinese and Russian Hackers Are Targeting US Defense Companies An analysis released by Google this month showed that the U.S. defense industrial base—a network of public and private entities used to develop or maintain military weapons systems—has sustained cyberattacks from groups and criminal organizations from China, Russia, and North Korea in recent months.
Dems Demand Randy Fine’s Resignation After He Points Out NYC Muslim Activists Want to Ban Dogs Because They Are Unclean Americans should be thanking Congressman Randy Fine (R-FL) (affectionately known as the Hebrew Hammer) for standing up for man’s best friend after a Muslim activist proclaimed dogs would not be welcome in non-secular New York City because they’re unclean. Instead, Dem politicians are screeching for his resignation, calling him a bigot for telling the truth. Shocking.

Islam Unmasked: Not a Religion of Faith, But a System of Coerced Obedience and Total Governance Islam exploits the label of “religion” to infiltrate Western societies while pursuing sharia-based state control, where obedience to divine law supersedes personal belief, spiritual depth is replaced by hedonistic rewards and jihad, and power is enforced through fear, punishment, and conquest—as evidenced by historical doctrine, modern examples like Iran, and the Cairo Declaration’s subordination of human rights to Islamic principles. Islam is not what the West thinks it is. It is state control.
Ukraine makes fastest battlefield gain in 2.5 years Ukraine recaptured 201 square kilometres of territory from Russia in five days last week – its biggest gain in 2.5 years – according to AFP analysis of data from the Institute for the Study of War.

Obama backs down, says no contact with aliens Barack Obama sparked outrage when he claimed this weekend that aliens exist. Now he is backing down – partially. I saw no evidence during my presidency that aliens have contacted us. I promise!”
The Plan Trump Has Already Set in Motion Against Iran Anyone searching for the decisive American moment vis-à-vis Iran need not wait for an official announcement from the White House since that moment has already occurred. It did not take place at the Pentagon, nor in Congress, nor at the Security Council. It happened at Mar-a-Lago. There, far from the cameras, a profound conceptual shift took place: moving from discussions about nuclear weapons and missiles to a principled decision to strike at the regime itself. This point is critical to understanding what we have seen in recent days, and especially what we are likely to see soon. This is not a random escalation,
UK, German defense officials defend military buildup under Russian threats The British and German Defense chiefs contend that military buildup is necessary to protect Europe from potential Russian aggression. “Moscow’s military buildup, combined with its willingness to wage war on our continent, as painfully evidenced in Ukraine, represents an increased risk that demands our collective attention,”

Earlier this month, Nigeria’s military said it expected around 200 more U.S. troops.
Netanyahu rules out partial Hamas disarmament, says Iran must surrender uranium stockpile “I will not hide from you that I expressed my skepticism of any deal with Iran, because, frankly, Iran is reliable on one thing, they lie and they cheat,” Netanyahu said. Netanyahu added that along with strong measures to verify Iranian compliance, any nuclear deal must include the removal of all enriched uranium from Iran.
Kentucky’s Governor Isn’t Championing The Bible… He Is Ignoring It Should Christians support children destroying their bodies with cross-sex hormones and mutilating themselves because “all children are children of God”? Well, that’s the reasoning that our Kentucky governor, Andy Beshear, recently used on The View. This is an example of progressive Christians taking and championing something that sounds good and quasi-biblical while ignoring everything else the Bible says on the subject.
Will Qatar “buy” Gaza for Hamas? Qatar is considering paying the highest amount for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip as part of the effort established by U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Peace Council,” Qatar is already paying high amounts for fuel entering Gaza through Egypt, and the country aims to increase its influence in the Middle East by making a major contribution to the reconstruction of the strip. According to Qatar’s approach, “He who holds the money holds the power,” hence its desire to be the primary contributor to the project, likely in an attempt to maintain Hamas’ rule.
Sen. Lindsey Graham: ‘We’re on verge of eliminating largest state sponsor of terror’ “The Iranian Ayatollah, and his murderous regime are at their weakest point since 1979. Their economy is in shambles, their military has been degraded, there are people in the streets, Iranian people in the streets, demanding an end to oppression. All these forces are coming together,” he stated.
US Air Force orders 30,000-pound GBU-57 bunker busters as Iran tensions rise Amid high tensions between the US and Iran, the US Air Force has awarded Boeing a sole-source contract to replenish its arsenal of GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bunker buster bombs, which the US dropped over a dozen on Iranian nuclear facilities in June during Operation Midnight Hammer.
‘In The Beginning Was The Prompt’: AI Build A Religion Equiped With ‘Prophets’ And ‘Living Scripture’ What happens when you take artificially intelligent “bots,” give them the ability to take on unique “personalities,” then provide them with a space where they can communicate and socialize with each other? The answer: they create their own religion comprised of AI, designed for AI, and governed by AI. Don’t believe me? I to submit to you, the newly established “Church of Molt” also known as “Crustifarianism.” “Church of what?” you ask. That’s right, the Church of Molt, as in a lobster molting its shell.
Texas fights back: No ‘sharia city’ in the Lone Star State In a clear stand for law, sovereignty and the rule of American jurisdiction, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced a formal investigation into a potentially unlawful “sharia city” development in Kaufman County, warning that any attempt to establish a foreign-style enclave on Texas soil will not be tolerated. The Feb. 9 press release from the attorney general’s office revealed that a U.S. subsidiary of the Dubai-based developer SEE Holding, in partnership with Kaufman Solar LLC, has purchased thousands of acres of land near Kaufman, Texas, prompting concerns among local residents and state leaders about the nature and intent of the proposed project.
A ‘ring of fire’ solar eclipse will dazzle people and penguins in Antarctica The first solar eclipse of the year will grace Antarctica, and only a lucky few will get to bask — or waddle — in its glow. Tuesday’s annular solar eclipse, known as a “ ring of fire,” will only be visible in the southernmost continent, home to research stations and diverse wildlife. “The penguins down there are going to have a great show,” said astronomer Joe Llama with Lowell Observatory.
Strait Showdown: Iran Launches “Smart Control” Exercise At Oil Transit Point Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) kicked off naval drills Monday in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, according to state media. The exercise, dubbed “Smart Control of Hormuz Strait,” is being carried out by IRGC naval forces under the direct supervision of the Guards’ top command, state television reported, with semi-official Tasnim news agency describing the drills as testing combat readiness against “possible security and military threats.” Energy markets are watching closely. The timing is no coincidence, given that late last week President Trump announced he was dispatching a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East, while continuing to warn that military action against Iran remains on the table. Two weeks ago, when some of the first drills kicked off, US Central Command (CENTCOM) warned the IRGC it better be careful in the vicinity of US naval assets.
At least 9 tornadoes reported across Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi; five confirmed EF-1 Multiple tornadoes touched down across parts of Southern Plains and Southeast overnight on Feb 14.

What In The World Is Going On In Our Public Schools? The quality of education children receive in America’s public schools continues to go down. At one time, the concern was not enough students taking advanced courses. Now, a large portion of high school grads can’t read effectively, write effectively, or do basic math effectively. We’ve never faced an education crisis of this magnitude in the entire history of our nation.

Has America Reached Peak Idiocracy? Did you see the Super Bowl halftime show? The FCC ruled it didn’t violate federal decency regulations. We might as well not have decency regulations at all, because our TV shows and movies are filled with some of the raunchiest material, and nobody seems to get in trouble for it. Most of the “programming” seems designed for people of extremely low intelligence.
Islam Unmasked: Not a Religion of Faith, But a System of Coerced Obedience and Total Governance Islam exploits “religion” to infiltrate Western societies while pursuing Sharia-based control (obedience to their divine law), spiritual depth is replaced by hedonistic rewards and jihad; and power is enforced through fear, punishment, and conquest—as evidenced by historical doctrine, Iran, and the Cairo Declaration’s subordination of human rights to Islamic principles.
Toronto Sees Massive Demonstration Against Iran’s Islamic Regime On February 14, hundreds of thousands gathered in Toronto for what became the largest anti-regime demonstrations ever held by the Iranian diaspora in Canada.

It was itself an enormous protest.
Netanyahu: Iran ‘lies and cheats’ Netanyahu reiterated his doubts regarding the possibility of any deal with Iran, which he said must include dismantling of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, not just stopping uranium enrichment. His comments came ahead of a second round of U.S.-Iranian talks in Geneva, Switzerland, on Tuesday, and amid a major American military buildup in the region, which is still underway.
Lubbock: the Next Stop in the Islamization of Texas Lubbock is the next stop in the Islamization of Texas. A new Islamic center, the Unity Center, opened over the weekend at a former elementary school. Launched in just 40 days, with “global support,” the rapid financing and massive footprint in the community is quickly accelerating the Islamic takeover of Texas.
How Deep Is the Deep State? That’s a question I’ve thought and written about a lot. I had something to say about it recently at The Spectator on the occasion of Abigail Spanberger’s recent election as governor of Virginia. It saddens me to report that every time I think I’ve taken the measure of the Leviathan that is the deep state, new precincts and vistas open up beyond the boundaries I had delineated.
At Munich, Democrats demonstrate just how stupid they are Democrats followed Secretary of State Rubio to the Munich Security Conference to noisily proclaim their foreign policy chops, apparently to ‘top’ his masterly address to the European defense establishment defending Western civilization, which drew a standing ovation. But the Dems speaking- let’s just say we’re reminded of a Mark Twain quote: “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”
By the time we got to this stage, I always thought that most people would understand what was happening. But of course that isn’t true at all. Even though we are literally right on the brink of an apocalyptic war with Iran, most of the population doesn’t seem too concerned. But they should be. The Iranian regime has already shown that they are willing to gun down tens of thousands of their own people. When it comes to securing the survival of their regime, there is no limit to what Ayatollah Khamenei and his minions would be willing to do. That could potentially include firing ballistic missiles that have been armed with chemical and biological weapons at Israeli cities. That could also potentially include releasing a biological weapon on U.S. soil. Those that choose to underestimate the barbarity of the Iranian regime are making an enormous mistake.
Over the weekend, it was being reported that the U.S. military is getting ready for “sustained, weeks-long operations against Iran if President Donald Trump orders an attack”…
The US military is preparing for the possibility of sustained, weeks-long operations against Iran if President Donald Trump orders an attack, two US officials told Reuters, in what could become a far more serious conflict than previously seen between the countries.
The disclosure by the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the planning, raises the stakes for the diplomacy underway between the United States and Iran.
Anyone that thinks that a final showdown with Iran would be a nice, neat campaign that would be over in just a few weeks is not being realistic.
It certainly didn’t work out that way in Afghanistan or Iraq, did it?
The Iranians have spent the last six months feverishly preparing for the next war with the United States and Israel.
Weapons from Russia and China have been pouring in.
The Iranians are now in a far better position militarily than they were during the 12 Day War last year.
Of course U.S. preparations for the coming war also continue to ramp up.
Chinese commercial satellite imagery has confirmed a surge in U.S. Air Force deployments of KC-135 aerial refuelling tankers to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, with at least 16 of the aircraft seen at runways at the facility. The release of the images closely coincides with the exposure of the exact positions of a U.S. Army MIM-104 Patriot air defence system at the Al Udeid Air Base, and follows the publication of Chinese commercial satellite imagery from the Chinese satellite company MizarVision confirming the deployment of a U.S. Army THAAD anti-missile system at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. Unconfirmed reports have indicated that Chinese satellite intelligence and communications is being provided to significantly strengthen Iran’s ability to withstand a possible U.S.-led assault and launch retaliatory attacks, fuelling speculation that the publication of images on the positions of potential targets may be intended to send a signal that Iran’s targeting intelligence will be significantly greater in a future conflict due to Chinese support.
And CBS News is telling us that the USS Gerald R. Ford is being deployed to the Middle East…
On Thursday, CBS News reported that a second U.S. aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford and its flotilla of warships, would be dispatched to the Middle East, joining an already substantial American presence. Four U.S. officials said the carrier strike group is expected to redeploy from the Caribbean, a movement that would place formidable firepower within range of Iran at a moment of heightened strain.
When push comes to shove, the U.S. and Israel will both be hammering Iran at the same time.
Asked Friday about potential regime change in Iran, US President Donald Trump said, “it seems like that would be the best thing that could happen,” as he confirmed sending a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East “in case we don’t make a deal” with the Islamic Republic.
“For 47 years, they’ve been talking and talking and talking,” Trump told reporters after visiting with troops at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, referring to Iran’s clerical rulers. “In the meantime, we’ve lost a lot of lives while they talk. Legs blown off, arms blown off, faces blown off. We’ve been going on for a long time.”
Pressed on who he would like to take over Iran, Trump declined to answer, but he added that “there are people.”
Telegraphing what you intend to do is never a good idea.
The nuts that are running Iran fully understand that the U.S. and Israel both want regime change.
And so Iranian leaders will use whatever tools they have at their disposal to prevent that from happening.
If it comes down to it, I believe that they would be willing to use biological and chemical weapons against Israeli cities and U.S. bases in the region…
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is developing biological and chemical warheads for the country’s long-range ballistic missiles, informed military sources told Iran International on Sunday.
The IRGC Aerospace Force is working on the unconventional warheads for ballistic missiles as it transfers missile launchers to eastern regions of Iran, the sources said.
The sources, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, said these activities have accelerated in recent months and are being pursued amid rising regional tensions and Tehran’s concerns about the possibility of another direct confrontation with Israel and the United States.
If Iran uses unconventional weapons, Israel will not hesitate to strike back with overwhelming force.
The only way we are going to be able to avoid a final showdown with Iran is if a diplomatic solution can be found.
The following is what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is insisting on in any potential deal…
“The first is that all enriched material has to leave Iran. The second is that there should be no enrichment capability, not stopping the enrichment process, but dismantle the equipment and the infrastructure that allows you to enrich in the first place,” he said.
Netanyahu added that an agreement should also address Iran’s ballistic missile program, citing a 300-kilometer range limit under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).
“There’s an MTCR limitation of 300 kilometers, and Iran is supposed to adhere to it. Of course, it doesn’t,” Netanyahu said.
He added that any agreement should also address its support for Iran’s regional allied groups.
Iran will never agree to any of that.
In fact, they will never agree to any restrictions on their ballistic missile program under any circumstances.
This is what Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the BBC earlier today…
“When we were attacked by Israelis and Americans, our missiles came to our rescue so how can we accept depriving ourselves of our defensive capabilities?” Takht-Ravanchi said, referring to last year’s 12-day war with Israel, during which Iran launched hundreds of missiles at Israel, which killed nearly three dozen Israeli civilians and wounded thousands.
Over and over again, the Iranians have made it abundantly clear that they are not willing to give the U.S. and Israel what they want.
Apparently Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have told Trump that it will be “difficult to impossible” to make any sort of a deal…
President Trump’s top advisors reportedly warned him that making a deal with Iran on its nuclear program is historically “difficult to impossible.”
Trump asked special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner what the chances were of reaching an agreement with Tehran, according to a senior US official, Israel’s Channel 12’s Barak Ravid said on Telegram Saturday.
The pair told the president history shows the West has never been able to strike a positive deal with the Islamic Republic leaders, but that they would continue to “take a tough line” during negotiations, Ravid reported.
“We’re dealing with radical SHIA CLERICS, people who make geopolitical decisions on the basis of pure theology. It’s a complicated thing. NO ONE’S ever been able to do a successful deal with Iran!”
“If [negotiations] change — it’ll be obvious to EVERYONE.”
There isn’t going to be a deal.
At this point, that should be obvious to everyone.
And even if Trump changed his mind and decided not to go in, the Israelis have already told us that they would go in anyway.
So war is coming.
It is just a matter of counting down the days.
Over the weekend, massive crowds of protesters all over the world called for regime change in Iran.
In Munich, Germany approximately 250,000 protesters showed up…
Anti-Iran regime protesters gathered in major cities across the globe on Saturday calling for a leadership change in the Global Day of Action Rally.
Over 250,000 protesters rallied in Munich, Germany on Saturday on the backdrop of the Munich Security Conference.
“With the number of participants recorded, this gathering is one of the largest rallies held in Munich in recent years,” the Munich Police reported in a press release. “The peaceful atmosphere is particularly noteworthy, despite the high number of participants in the meeting.”
Lindsey Graham was at the rally in Munich, and he is making it very clear how he feels about regime change…
US Senator Lindsey Graham also spoke at the Munich rally and commented on his participation in a post on X/twitter.
“I have chosen the Iranian people over the ayatollah. I believe they could be good allies of the United States and would march the region toward the light.” Senator Graham wrote.
“I believe the ayatollah is a religious Nazi, who would keep the region and the world in turmoil. He’s a religious fanatic who wants to purify Islam, destroy the Jewish people, and come after the United States, which he refers to as the Great Satan.”
The protests in Los Angeles and Toronto were even larger than the one in Munich.
There is going to be so much pressure on President Trump to take action.
In the end, I don’t see how war is going to be avoided.
Of course the Chinese will be very upset with us when we go after Iran, because somewhere between 13 percent and 15 percent of the oil that they import comes from the Iranians.
And the Russians have very close ties with the Iranians as well.
This could be the spark that throws the entire planet into a state of turmoil.
And that would especially be true if unconventional weapons are used.
We are so close to a real life nightmare, but I don’t think that there will be any turning back now.
