Global SITREP A8-26: War

 

15 July 2026: The image above was collected as US CENTCOM "Corsair" USV's completed their strike mission on Bandar Abbas piers, one of which had an Iranian Ghadir-class submarine upon it. These naval and air strikes lasted for a total of seven continuous hours and mark the initiation of renewed full-scale warfare against the Twelver regime. The strikes have now entered a second wave and can be categorized as shaping the battlefield for far more devastating strikes to come.

17 July 2026: Trump's threat to begin striking Iranian infrastructure was not idle hot air. Three important bridges near Bandar Abbas have been disassembled by US air strikes overnight. Telecommunications towers were also taken down along with military C2 sites. A new phase of the war has clearly begun. Watching to see if the IRGC retaliation of destroying all regional infrastructure is not just typical Iranian boasting.

Scientists are concerned that the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults are at the highest tectonic stress levels in the last 1,000 years. Be prepared.

18 July 2026: For anyone to say that this is not a regional war is either deceptive, ignorant or just a deliberate bald-faced lie. 

The Iranian Twelver regime has launched missile and drone attacks on Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The 12ers also attacked merchant vessels, crude oil and chemical tankers flying the national flags of nations from around the globe. For some time now Israel has not been targeted, most likely because the 12ers want no part of joint US-Israel attacks in Iran.

On the CINC's orders, U.S. CENTCOM has thus far  launched a total of seven (7) sequential, hours-long waves of strikes across Iran during the night. Daylight strikes are rare. The objective is to have the 12ers wake up each morning following the strikes to assess the destruction being leveled on their military and national infrastructure. This a search for the Shi'a Twelvers breaking point and unconditional surrender.

To be continued...

Global SITREP A7-26: Lebanon Flashpoint

 

22 June 2026: The map above is self explanatory in that terrorist Hezbollah, a highly paid military proxy of Twelver-ruled Iran, is the flashpoint capable of blowing up the tenuous ceasefire between the U.S. and the Twelver regime in Tehran. The Twelvers claim Lebanon is integral to the MOU, to which Israel defiantly responds "NO, WE ARE NOT! Israel retains its freedom of operations against Hezbollah, period."

Just yesterday an American threat of renewed conflict caused the Twelvers to shut down Hormuz maritime traffic, a move that Trump said would result in a complete, long-term American military takeover of the Strait and a resumed bombing blitz of Iran so that Iranian negotiators in Switzerland "would not have a "☆%@&ing" country to return to. It'll be interesting to see how long the current MOU Hudna with the Shi'a regime lasts before imploding. And then, how long the IRGC lasts in ground combat IF Trump does what he would have to do in taking the entire Strait of Hormuz region.

Will the US seize the Strait?

24 June 2026: The days of Israel being a subservient wartime ally of the US are over. From this point forward there will be no American (read: Trump) dictation of what Israel must do. Any request or even a demand that the IDF withdraw from Lebanese or Syrian territory will be rejected outright if it is contrary to Israel's security requirements. This new paradigm has been a long time coming, but it's here now and will stay until the advent of the 70th Week of Years.

28 June 2026: Eschatology Today's long-running assessment that Twelver Iran prefers war over peace with the US and Israel is now an established fact based upon their actions. The assessment is based upon the now decade old interpretation of Jeremiah 49:34-39 in concert with Ezekial 38 which speaks to a militarily reduced Iran on a par with Kuwsh and Puwt.

President Trump's Truth Social post of yesterday (Saturday, 27 June)  warning of the destruction of the Islamic Republic of Iran if they were to persist in their attacks clearly fell upon deaf ears. The Twelver's IRGC launched massive attacks this morning specifically against US bases and support facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain. 

Scrap the MOU as meaningless, the war is back on and at full scale. American strikes in Iran are taking out much of what the IRGC had urgently reconstituted in the last several weeks. The US will press on the attack to "complete the mission." 

We remain mindful that the Twelvers are on record saying that renewed war would result in the IRGC-Quds Force conducting attacks around the globe. Heads on a swivel.

UPDATE 1 July 2026: The "negotiations" over the MOU are no different than previous "negotiations" with the Iranian Shi'a Twelvers - much ado about nothing. They drag on endlessly because they're merely a Twelver ploy, a tactic to buy time. The next IRGC suicide drone attack on a commercial vessel is a matter of time as is the subsequent US retaliation.

Twelver diplomats are now saying they're ready for war but will speak to (Islamic) mediators indefinitely. Face-to-Face talks with Witkoff and Kushner are out of the question for the Twelvers; remember these two American's represent the "Great Satan" as does Trump and all US citizens, so there's never going to be an honored "deal with the devil." Best assessment is that the full-scale war will resume sometime between now and mid-August.

FINAL UPDATE 15 July 2026: This is the final update for SITREP A7-26. Eschatology Today will return with SITREP A8-26 within a day or so as it appears very likely the US will commit to a far more comprehensive offensive against the Twelver regime and its IRGC forces.

Two crude oil tankers belonging to the UAE were attacked yesterday, as well as US facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain. USCENTCOM pressed forward with the imposed blockade of Iran's Arabian Gulf ports. 

A couple dozen or so 5th Fleet surface combatant ships, and hundreds of strike aircraft will prosecute what is believed to be the final 60-day offensive of the war that was the subject of a Trump situation room briefing yesterday. The offensive will cover the whole of Iranian territory, becoming more lethal and destructive in a calculated progression day by day. 

Prophetically speaking, the fulfillment of the LORD'S many "I will's" recorded in Jeremiah 49:34-39 are a Divine progression now in progress.

Marana'tha!

Global SITREP A5-26: Turning Point

 

Beaufort Castle

1 June 2026: IDF ground forces took the highly strategic heights at Beaufort Castle in Lebanon this week. From Beaufort Castle one can look to the south to view northern Israel, or look to the north to view Beirut and beyond. To the east one can see strategic Mount Hermon, also under the control of the IDF. 

The mastery of these heights marks a critical point in the war, a point not lost on the Twelver regime in Tehran or their Hezbollah proxy in Lebanon. It is the catalyst for their desperation and large-scale drone attacks since last week as well as the Twelver declaration that they will not hesitate to defend their beseiged allies. Beirut now lies defenseless before the IDF; a downhill sprint from Beaufort Castle is next.

Concurrent with the IDF capture of Beaufort it was announced that the Twelvers have regained access to the collapsed tunnel entrances which contain hundreds of long-range missiles. The excavation dust had not settled when the Twelvers made the threat to attack Israel anew with this arsenal in short order.

Also concurrent with these developments came renewed US airstrikes last night on IRGC radar, command and control (C2) sites and relay stations. Resumption of warfighting demands an electronic blinding of the IRGC forces.

5 June 2026: As of today the assessment of the conflict with the Iranian Twelvers is encapsulated in the title of this SITREP. 

The mostly likely scenario now is a return to full-scale warfare. "Negotiations" with the Twelvers have reached a dead end; only a full Trump surrender would change this fact as the Twelvers have no such word in their vocabulary. Since Trump could never surrender the return to combat ops to "finish the job" in the shortest time possible is the only option left to pursue. It will be brief and exceptionally violent. When is the only unknown remaining in this assessment.

In Trump-speak, this assessment was given as "one way or the other, this war is finished." Translation: The 12ers either submit to my terms of surrender or else my military forces will finish it. The 12ers were allotted 60 days to submit. Only a handful of those days remain.

Satellite view Strait of Hormuz (east-west)

6 June 2026: The past 36 to 48 hours has seen serious exchanges of fire between the U.S. military and the IRGC. Both Qeshm and Kharg Islands to the west of Hormuz have received major airstrikes on military targets. Strikes on the mainland east of Hormuz targeted the Bandar Abbas area. 

The Twelvers then launched ballistic missiles at U.S. bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, prompting Trump to announce the killing of U.S. troops as a red line the crossing of which would result in a return to full-scale war. Iran also sent waves of suicide drones to attack our ships. All IRGC drones were promptly shot out of the sky.

ISRAEL AND IRAN RESUME WAR -TRUMP PUT IN HIS PLACE!

8 June 2026: Yesterday Trump went overboard telling PM Netanyahu not to strike back at Twelver Iran for missile attacks aimed at Israel's cities. Without first calling Netanyahu for a 1-on-1 private conversation Trump spoke to international media saying, "Netanyahu doesn't call the shots, I call the shots. I call all the shots." 

In a stunning and direct rebuke to Trump Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu immediately ordered IDF CoS LtGen Eyal Zamir to launch punishing and powerful strikes against the Iranian regime. IRGC missile launch sites and petrochemical sites took the initial Israeli retaliation strikes which were direct hits. 

Finally, this evening Trump declared that there he will declare "total victory" over Twelver Iran within the next two weeks. However, VP Vance then projected to the media that Israel would probably not like it. This will be a deal that is one-hundred percent in line with American national interests which are not necessarily in Israel's national interests.

LTG Zamir and IAF commanders directing strikes on Iran

Therefore, Eschatology Today will project to all that will hear - Trump, Vance and the lot of Dominionists driving this agenda are most assuredly oblivious and contrary to the interests and supreme will of God Almighty regarding Israel. Only He calls the shots!

SITREP A5-26 will continue for at least the next two weeks, or 22 June by the Trump calendar.

UPDATE 9 June 2026: Now that it has become public knowledge there's a big problem at the Bushehr NPP in Iran. This location is in ancient Elam.

"The 210 tons of spent fuel in the storage pool at Bushehr contain more than 2,000 kilograms of plutonium, enough to make more than 200 nuclear weapons."

This issue has been public since at least April of this year, but not widely reported, possibly even ignored. Leave it to Israel's media to rectify that. 

Simply google: "Bushehr Plutonium" to see the articles published as recent as this morning. 

We've discussed the prophecy of Jeremiah 49:34-39 at length so no need to rehash it again. My question is if the Bushehr plutonium is integral to the Trump plan because no one in his administration or in the US Congress has so much as mentioned this issue.

Today the IRGC managed to down a US Apache helicopter in a patrol of the Strait of Hormuz. The apache crew was rescued, no loss of life. Regardless, this is on Trump because he has ignored his intelligence and combatant commanders in ignoring the threats the IRGC presents in this war zone.

Marana'tha!

Global SITREP A4-26: OPERATION HAMMER TIME?

13 May 2026: The name of the renewed war against the Twelver regime in Iran speaks volumes as to what can and cannot be expected in the coming 60 days.

16 May 2026: The U.S. military has far more kinetic firepower within the CENTCOM AOR now than at any time since 28 February, not to omit the strategic firepower at the ready stateside or in Europe. The "ceasefire" has allowed for fresh troop rotations, replenishment and the introduction of new weaponry, such as the aforementioned LRHW Dark Eagle.

The Shi'a Twelver leadership and IRGC commanders had better be ensconced in their deepest, most reinforced bunkers - or else. President Trump, both while one AF1 on the flight home from Asia and immediately when on American terra firma, has made it crystal clear in multiple interviews to the non-fake news media that the Yanks are not going home. It's time ti finish this Iran business. Iran will now be reduced to the pathetic state where it's militarily equivilent to Kuwsh and Phut (Ezekiel 38). 

By the way brothers and sisters, there is a very powerful reason why Magog has surrounded and buttressed itself with troops from its allies across the globe. That reason is it's armed forces have become completely spent from its foolish (by Divine Design?) invasion of Ukraine over the past four years. Hooks at the ready!

18 May 2026: The US and Israel are within hours of initializing a third and final attack on the Twelver regime ruling Iran. As noted for some time now this final attack will be comprehensive and on a scale far beyond anything previous. Jeremiah 49:34-39 will come to fulfillment in the coming days; the Persia of Ezekiel 38/39 is the secondary result.

24 May 2026: The final attack, which had been scheduled for Tuesday, 19 May, was postponed at the last minute because President Trump deferred to the wants of Islamic Arab leaders of the Arabian peninsula. Those leaders said critical "peace" negotiations were in progress and should not be disrupted by a new wave of US-Israeli strikes on Iran. This appears to be where the disinformation campaign began. Discernment of facts from fiction is now taking place.

25 May 2026: Many have focused their attention on the relevance of Ezekiel 38:13 to recent events in the Middle East. The Abraham Accords between Israel and several Sunni Arab states of the Arabian Gulf appears to have a direct connection to this prophetic foretelling.

What we now know about the Trump conference call that included virtually all of the penninsula states is that, aside of the UAE, they were met with an expectation from Trump that is an addendum to the attempt at peace negotiations with the Iranian Twelver regime. 

With a diplomatic negotiated end to the war being the highly preferred outcome (the carrot), and a resumption of war (the stick) being less desirable for obvious reasons, the Sunni Arab states not currently part of the Abraham Accords are expected to join, exchange ambassadors, open embassies and normalize relations with Israel upon the cessation of hostilities with the Twelver regime in Iran.

Two birds with one stone, so to speak. Bringing an end to the 47 year long Iran war via carrot or stick, and an end to the Arab-Israel confrontation of the past 78 years including a normalization of relations between the Saudis and Israelis. This is the net objective underpinning the Trump agenda to end war with the clerics in Tehran. It has high potential as a fulfillment of Ezekiel 38:13.

FINAL UPDATE 1 June 2026: This SITREP is done. Time to move on as renewed warfighting for Israel against the Iranian Twelver regime appears likely this morning.

Global SITREP A3-26: Operation Epic Fury Endgame PART III

April 22, 2026: We now know that President Trump's unilateral extension of the ceasefire with the Iranian Twelver regime is due to the fact that the regime is in a fractured and highly unstable political state. The IRGC appears to be acting since yesterday as the de facto power of the government in ordering attacks by IRCG fast attack craft on M/Vs in the Strait of Hormuz and east of it from the Iranian Port of Chabahar into the Gulf of Oman. The lack of a U.S. response thus far to the serious attacks gives weight to what Pentagon sources say will come next.

Multiple sources are reporting that officials in the Pentagon are strongly indicating that a resumption of the war is imminent. However, the resumption of combat operations will far surpass the power and violence rained down upon Iran since the initiation of hostilities on February 28. Three U.S. Navy supercarrier CSGs are now in the CENTCOM AOR (Lincoln, Ford and G.H.W. Bush) plus several thousand U.S. Marines, Airborne and Special Operations forces plus the inherent and significant increase of combat airpower. Israeli forces are also primed to resume their Operation Roaring Lion combat operations

The meaning here is that Trump's indefinite ceasefire probably does not indicate a long-term cessation but a finite extension of potentially very short duration in order to give the Twelver political echelon a chance to impose control over the IRGC.

24 April 2026: The U.S.-Iranian Twelver "negotiations" in Pakistan have taken a big hit because hardliners in the Ayatollah's inner circle and the IRGC have forced (former) lead negotiator Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf to resign. Ghalibaf was also severely reprimanded by the inner circle over inclusion of the nuclear issue in negotiations with the US. His participation is likely the reason any progress was made in previous rounds. Regime hardliners and the Ayatollah's inner circle have clearly won the internal power struggle.

With Twelver hardliners in control there's no chance for a successful outcome, which explains why Vice President Vance has cancelled his plans to travel. President Trump now has his response from Tehran. 

25 April 2026: Iranian Twelver envoy Araghchi met with his Islamic brothers in Pakistan and delivered Tehran's "comprehensive response" to Trump's demands. He has since departed for chats in Muscat and Moscow. Meanwhile, Trump's envoys Witkoff and Kushner are still hours away from landing in Islamabad. Once arrived they'll receive the Twelver response - which is, essentially, there can be no further negotiations with the U.S., there is no nuclear issue, the SoH will remain closed and the U.S. and Israel owe the Twelver regime billions in war reparations. To say at this point that Trump has not been played like a fiddle by the Twelver regime would be a massive understatement. Trump's reaction is sure to be epic.

1 May 2026: It appears to be crunch time for the current phase of Operation Epic Fury as the 60-day threshold of war powers act has arrived. 

The Trump Administration has a couple options to employ. One is to ignore the 60-day mark as previous presidencies have done. Another option is to seek a congressional declaration of war against the Twelver regime. The decision has either already been made or will be made in a matter of a few more hours. 

I believe the decision has been made as the U.S. Army made a request to deploy its Dark Eagle (Long Range Hypersonic Weapon or LRHW) system to the CENTCOM AOR.

7 May 2026: Today Iranian forces launched attacks on three U.S. Navy destroyers transiting eastbound (outbound) from the gulf. USCENTCOM released the following AAR:

“Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No US assets were struck."

FINAL UPDATE 13 May 2026: Eschatology Today closes out this SITREP in noting that both the UAE and Saudi Arabia have conducted retaliatory airstrikes on specific targets inside Iran. This news has been accompanied by reports of Israel's Mossad director making covert visits to the UAE in March and April. These visits signal the close strategic and intelligence cooperation between Jerusalem and Abu Dhabi.

There is also a newly revealed international military coalition of more than forty nations, led by the United Kingdon, who will defend maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz from Iranian attacks and operate to restore freedom of navigation in the Gulf. The Royal Navy air defense destroyer HMS Dragon looks to be this force's flagship.

Within the next day or so the previously noted return to far more destructive attacks on Iran by the US and Israel appears very likely. Operation Sledgehammer will be the subject of SITREP A4-26.

 Maranatha!

Eschatology Today - Operation Epic Fury Endgame Part II

Kharg Island

30 March 2026: Notice the position of Kharg Island relative to southern Elam.

Dozens of A-10C Warthogs are inbound!

31 March 2026: An IRGC weapons depot in Esfahan (Isfahan) was utterly destroyed by several American 2,000lb bunker buster bombs recently. This is not the nuclear-related bunker struck previously at Esfahan.

The bunker that was struck this time, to great effect I might add, was imaged by satellite just prior to June 13, 2025. Subsequent analysis of the imagery revealed a large tractor-trailer hauling numerous secure blue-colored barrels since assessed to have contained over 1,000 lbs of 60% enriched HEU. Radiation leakage has not been detected and that may be due to the depth of the now collapsed bunker.

2 April 2026: As noted in my 10AM comment yesterday, the rump Twelver regime, which is now essentially the highest ranking surviving members of the IRGC, has zero intention of surrendering to the US and Israel. Instead they have doubled down and will continue the war by any and all means available to them for the forseeable future. They insist on the surrender of the US and Israel and billions in cash reparations to end the war. Like that's gonna happen!

That means calling on their allies in Yemen, Sudan, Lebanon and IRGC-QF sleeper cells around the world to attack as terrorists will attack any and all targets of opportunity. Hence my interpretation that Jeremiah 49:34-39 will persist in a process of fulfillment until the LORD God ends it on the mountains of Israel (Ezekiel 38-39). 

This isn't a "forever war" as some like to opine, but it is a war of significant duration (47 years and counting) yet which may well be brought to closure for the Bride of Christ by the trumpet-like voice of an archangel announcing the advent of our Harpazo.

FINAL UPDATE 20 April 2026: Eschatology Today assesses that the war against Iran and Hezbollah, representing radical Shi'a Islam, will continue imminently. The primary reason for this assessment is that nothing has been achieved in the stated objectives. 

In Lebanon, which is 100% a war between Israel and Hezbollah, the same interim result as in previous and limited IDF incursions into southern Lebanon is the current status quo. The above map reflects this. Since the U.S. is not at war with Hezbollah the declaration by President Trump that the war is over is not only grossly premature, but also patently absurd. It's not Trump's war to declare an end to nor dictate to the government of the State of Israel how it is conducted. In this situation one could rightly conclude that Trump believes Israel is a vassal state to the United States and its foreign policy is subject to his dictates.

In Iran the war has morphed into a virtually unrecognizable morass. As noted here previously it is war war nominally led by the American SECWAR and his commander in the field but conducted by unqualified businessmen and personal envoys of President Trump. It is being waged unlike any previous war that America has fought; it defies the conduct of an UNDECLARED war as a tool of the foreign policy oof the United States of America. It is also war being waged on the American president's social media platform, vice official White House communications channels. 

Also, whatever happened to the American and Israeli promise to the Iranian people that they'd soon have freedom, liberty and justice from the tyranny from the Shi'a Twelver regime, truly the Nazi's of the 21st century? Gone like yesterday's wind.

Prophetically speaking, the Iran war will conclude as the prophet Jeremiah has foretold or become the age-ending conflagration which sees the rise the of Antichrist as foretold in Daniel 11 by the angel Gabriel - at the appointed time. 

Marana'tha!

He Is Risen!!!

18 April 2025: He is Risen and is VERY SOON to Come Again!!!

"And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn."  - Zechariah 12:10
