Global SITREP B8-18: Iran



UPDATE 26 June 2018: Early this morning Israel struck Iranian muntions just delivered by Iran to Damascus International Airport. There is some confusion of whether the Israeli missiles came via aircraft or were surface-to-surface missiles. In either case Israel's anti-Iran doctrine remains in full effect.

Also, the general revolt by the people against the Ayatollah's regime is once again at a nationwide fever pitch. The Jeremiah 49:34-39 prophecy continues in its process of fulfillment.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has, since President Trump pulled the US out of the JCPOA fiasco, begun to face extreme economic crisis that become more acute each passing day. Recent reports had put the exchange rate between the Rial and the U.S. Dollar at 42,000 to 1. New projections from within Iran say the exchange rate will increase to 60,000-65,000 Rials to 1 U.S. Dollar. Contrast this to the exchange rate at the time of the Iranian Shi'a Revolution in 1979 when the exhange rate was 7 Rials to  Dollar. This is the engine driving the revolt against the mullahs regime. 

In Tehran tens of thousands are marching in protest, and across the country the same is seen in major cities and smaller towns, villages. Instead of the regime's favorite protest mantra of "Death to America; Death to Israel," these protestors are chanting "Death to Palestine," "Help us, not Gaza," and "Our enemy is right here, they lie and say it is America." Therein is the rub, because the $billions Iran recieved as a bribe for agreeing to the JCPOA went straight to the IRGC-QF to fund its foreign wars in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Gaza as well as its global terrorist activities. 

What happens when the cash dies up? What happens when the regime can no longer fund the IRGC-QF which funds HAMAS and Hezbollah? The regime will fail its purpose, Iran itself will become another islamic failed state, and the Tehran street protestors chant of "Death to Palestine" will become a reality. Consider that projection in light of Bible prophecy. What becomes of HAMAS in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon when the Islamic Republic of Iran goes into total economic meltdown. What happens to Bashar al-Assad in Syria when Iran can no longer pay his army and his very expensive bills? Pretty obvious, no?

And despite all of this the regime's military leadership, truly grasping at fear-mongering straws, has recently gone public with a claim that Saudi Arabia was planning to invade Iran; that this Saudi invasion would be met in its first minute by 1,000 missiles being launched destroy the Saudi royal palaces in Riyadh. Any authortarian regime which issues such a "wag the dog" claim as this is actually staggering about on very weak legs. And yet, there's Jeremiah 49:34 telling us straight away that those Iranian missiles will never fly in a conflict.

19 June 2018: About 48 hours ago Israel sent the strongest possible message to Iran and Russia when IAF strike aircraft struck and devastated an Iraqi Shi'a militia convoy that had just crossed into Syria from Iraq at Al-Qaim. The specific location is seen in the map below on the western bank of the Euphrates River, near the town "Albu Kamal" (directly below the word "IRAQ.")


Military situation in Syria, June 2018

The Israeli airstrike on the Kata'ib Hezbollah militia, under the direct command of IRGC-QF General Qassem Soleimani, was originally attributed to the U.S.-led CJTF-OIR. Casualties are reportedly well beyond the numbers currently reported in corporate media.

The seriousness of this strike lies in the fact that the IAF flew a minimum 1,200 miles round trip to take out the Iranian-led militia convoy. Kata'ib Hezbollah has previously vowed to attack both U.S. and Israeli forces. Israel has now repeatedly struck Iranian military in Syria multiple times over several months without a serious response.

5 June 2018: Virtually all talk and attention in recent days is about U.S. President Donald Trump's scheduled summit meeting with North Korean (DPRK) dictator Kim Jong Un in Singapore six days from today. The meeting will focus on the de-nuclearization of North Korea or it will be over before it begins. So far so good according to everything coming from the White House.

However, the really important issue above and beyond North Korean de-nuclearization is the de-nuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Remember, both the USA and Israel have declared nuclear policies that Iran will not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them. Remember also what occurred as President Trump first meet with the President of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping - American cruise missiles were striking targets in Bashar al-Assad's Syria due to his regime's use of WMD against his civilian population. This is important for us to remember. It certainly made an impression upon Xi Jinping.

The threat of American military action against North Korean nuclear sites is still an option should the US-DPRK summit go south. Now imagine the effect on Kim Jong Un should the US and our allies launch preemptive strikes on Iranian nuclear infrastructure either just prior to or during the summit. The precident has been set, so it's not out of the question. The message remains the same, and that is de-nuclearization, or else. 

This is not to say this is what will happen, but there is a very strong possibility it could happen now that Iran has announced its intent to the IAEA of the United Nations to begin anew enrichment of uranium hexaflouride to levels suitable for weapons grade fuel. Remember President Trump's warning to Iran of one month ago of there being "very severe consequence" should their nuclear program processes be restarted. The American president was explicit in his warning to the mullahs: "You can mark it down. If they restart their nuclear program they will have bigger problems than they've ever had before." These are not idle words. If they were hard currency you could take them to the bank.

Iran already has very significant problems with Israel in Syria. Iran also has very significant problems in Iraq with that nation pulling itself out from under regional Iranian hegemony. Ditto for Saudi Arabia and the GCC countries, as well as Yemen where the Houthi's that Iran has supported are decidedly on the losing end of that war. And then there are the very significant problems that face the Iranian clerical regime within Iran itself. If real news were to come out of Iran it would show how the revolution against the regime is very much alive and rapidly gaining in strength and even expanding. Three weeks ago the southern city of Kazeroun looked very much like  a counterpart in Syria - a war zone in other words. The revolution in Iran is also nationwide.

If one were to take stock of all these things one would realize that they very much resemble what Jeremiah 49:34-39 has foretold. The clerical regime in Iran is being confronted by external military enemies; by extremely harsh economic sanctions, and internally by its own people all at the same time. This is a trifecta recipe of disaster for the Iranian regime. One would have to be Spiritually blind not to see what is coming; what has been foretold is now plain as day. 




Update 10 June 2018: The two fearsome-looking weapons seen above have been in the news since March of this year when they were declared combat ready in OSINT reporting. This is an Indication and Warning (I&W). It could also be an After Action Report (AAR). 

The weapon is known as the Rafael SPICE 1000. SPICE is shorthand for Smart, Precise Impact, Cost Effective. The SPICE 1000 is a satellite and/or electro-optically guided stand-off weapon that will be, or has already been, carried on Israel's newly acquired F-35I Adir strike aircaft. SPICE 1000 is also carried externally on the F-15I Ra'am and F-16I Barak/Sufa (image above) strike aircraft of the IAF. 

Carried and deployed from within the internal weapons bay of the F-35I Adir the enemy targets belonging to Iran or Syria would never know what had hit and destroyed them. Such has been the case in Syria recently when unknown aircraft and weapons created havoc in northern and central Syria primarily against Iranian targets. 

Hence, the strong potential for this SITREP update being an AAR instead of an I&W report. And yes, the enemy never saw this package of 1,000 lbs of boom coming.  Not only is the F-35I a stealth aircraft, but it could easily have flown its strike mission against Iranian targets in Syria from a position in the Eastern Mediterranean off the Lebanese or Cypriot coastlines. Surprise!

  4. Moin,

    No, absolutely not! The Great Tribulation (Greek: Megas Thlipsis) begins only after the man-made image of the beast is stood up in the Holy Place of the 3rd Temple on the Mount. This occurs at the mid-point of Israel's 70th Week. Revelation 13:11-17.

    The 70th Week will likely begin in concert with or shortly after the near-future literal fulfillment of after Ezekiel 38/39. The 70th Week begins with the confirming of a treaty among many nations and Israel by the Antichrist. Daniel 9:27.

  6. Sean,

    Had to read today about Obama and his deception that was carried out with Iran and our financial system and I for the first time, I didn't let it trigger another anger so intense that I couldn't contain it. I give all of the glory to our ABBA FATHER because I have been praying that I could overcome that sort of reaction to all of these earth shattering discoveries. I knew they were there but not the depth of his treasonist acts.

    But the whole episode is just a portion of what the Apostle Paul told Timothy would be characters of the times we are in right now. Deception, falsehoods and traitors would be the normal behavior of mankind and we know the rest of the story. The reason I mention this is your last comment "Crunch Time" for Iran, indeed! And hopefully, crumble time for the forces that have been exposed in our own nation.

    So much to pray about and I am turning it all over to the Holy Spirit to turn my tongue into a weapon for The Kingdom of God and not directed at mankind. Still praying for the reality of "Man-KIND" to materialize.

    To be clear, are you predicting that a major Mid-East war will break out in the next 2 weeks, such as Jeremiah 49:34-39?

    It feels like these major end times wars have been near fulfillment for so many years now, and there is always more delay!

  8. I'm thinking the meeting in Singapore with President Trump and dictator Kim Jong-un will lead to prophetic fulfillment. Also the pictures coming out of the G7 summit are quite interesting! The leaders of the end times 10 nation confederacy forming? President Trump appointed by God for such a time as this seems to be alone on many issues with these other world leaders. Hmmm, I wonder why? Amazing times we live in! May the Lord protect you Mr.President. Maranatha!!

  11. Mark3210,

    In my comment above, and in this SITREP and in a couple other very recent updates in other SITREPS, I've pointed at most of the ongoing I&W (Indications and Warnings) for at least two, possibly three or more imminent military confrontations with respect to Syria, Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah.

    These are the proverbial dominos that have written about on Eschatology Today for some time now; the sequential falling of each domino being rapid with one triggering the adjacent domno, and so on. A flood of falling dominos. Not sure why you think my comments have not been clear.

  12. Rhonda,

    There's nothing in Scripture regarding any meeting in Singapore. To me that strongly indicates that it is not prophetic. It is just another in a series of events which God has the handle on.

    Bible prophecy regarding these latter days is mostly about war, and every one of those wars are in the Middle East.

    A summit in Singapore tomorrow focused on the de-nuclearization of North Korea might only have a vague application to the prophetic kings of the East towards the very end of the 70th Week. I do not believe for a second North Korea will accept giving up what they've spent decades trying to achieve.

  13. Moin,

    Macron is not the prophetic "little horn." He represents France, one of the majors among the 10 horns. My eschatological view is that the rise of the coming Antichrist is empowered by Satan, not the current president of France.

  14. Brothers and Sisters in Christ;
    I know this era that we are now fully experiencing is a trying time and it is slowly wearing all of us old Warriors down to the nubbins but we have to continue the fight just as Moses did. So, calling all prayer partners to assist in keeping the Watchmen on the Wall arms lifted up to heaven and pray for the Holy Spirit's increase of our strength and durability to be renewed every second of every day. I am not seeking this petition in a flippant manner or in jest, I DO NOT JEST! The Scriptures tell us all, if we will only avail ourselves to reading HIS WORD SERIOUSLY that the enemy's motive is to wear out the saints of God and if any of you have your eyes open and your spirit attuned to God's Presence you will realize this. Take this as an admonition from your Great-Grandmother and not some snippy old woman being cranky or bossy.

    We all have to be an HOLY addition to the physical efforts that are being carried out every second of every day and it is the assignment from God's ONLY BEGOTTEN SON that His Body of Christ be that addition. It is in praying for our brothers and sisters who are carrying the load of physical labor and spiritual ministry that the battles for the Kingdom of God are achieved. No one is excused from this duty and if you don't believe that I suggest we all READ and examine exactly what Paul told the Ephesians about our assignments and how we are to be that proof of God's Power given to the Believers in Jesus Christ. That is just a good starting point and the rest of the epistles will even strengthen us more.

  16. The only kind of comments that are permitted to remain posted and be discussed here are directly related to Bible prophecy.

    Comments which include some erroneous postulations on the origin of the Antichrist (the Bible, i.e. the angel Gabriel, strongly indicates his origin is Greek) will be removed.

    Similarly, Bible prophecy is specific to the Middle East as being to origin and the end point for all of the final major wars leading up to and during the 70th Week.

    Both of these issues are unambiguously addressed within the prophecy of the Book of Daniel. I strongly suggest reading this prophetic book. Much of the Book of Daniel is repeated in The Revelation of Jesus Christ. Both come directly from the LORD God.

  17. GG5,

    Thank you for that post, I for one have become quite worn out. I grew up A of G and we were aware of the rapture and such but it never meant much to me until the Holy Spirit woke me of the fact we are at the end about 9 years ago. I have been diligently watching and praying but it has been a long 9 years.

    In my prodigal I married a catholic woman and have suffered that mistake ever since (pray for her if you have a sec). I am alone in my watching without this small family. I can't wait to finally meet all of you!

    I appreciate your time and insights, Sean.

    Maranatha Adonai Yeshua!

  19. Ken B and Ken Moore,

    I give all the credit to that post to the Holy Spirit because what I intended to say was just so much pablum and then SUDDENLY ABBA took me to another level. Sometimes it makes me confused when I know what I want to say and the words won't form. That's when our ABBA FATHER sends the Helper and all I cando is type the message. It is exhilarating at the time it is happening but then I am completely worn out; that has always been the case.

    I will gladly include your wife and you in my prayers and remember, she is covered with you in your covenant with God through Jesus Christ. No one ever taught me that when I was saved in my First Baptist Church in Missouri in 1964 but it was in a Full Gospel Church that I still claim as my true church family. My history is quite interesting and yet it is so full of God's Divine leading me to ascend to where I am today. If you all only knew what great Joy, Love and Authority Jesus has enriched each and everyone of those who are HIS, none of us would shrink back in fear or doubt at any time, non whatsoever. His Grace and Mercy are new everyday and we don't shout at him to enlist Him in our battles. Remember, Jesus cried over the unbelief over Lazarus of Bethany and look what happened when HE came on the scene of that tomb. My husband doesn't believe in Jesus Christ as the Son Of God but he knows that there is God. That is a starting point and I keep on standing in the gap for him and it is not in fear or doubt. I might not be alive when it happens but GOD will win Jim's soul and do it in his own manner.

    Take care, stop the fear, and speak to that Mountain that it be removed and be cast into the sea. Mark 11:22 thru 26.

  22. Hi everyone, I was so very blessed by this video that I just wanted to share it. It immediately took me back to the time when our sons were younger (like this family, my husband and I were blessed only with multiple sons, no daughters). As believers in Messiah Jesus, we were a conundrum to my relatives. I suppose the only connection to prophecy is to remind us of the love and peace that we walk in, no matter the hour, because "no power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck us from His hand."

  23. The Iran Nuclear Deal seems to be a very significant deal affecting the whole world.

    Could it be the Covenant with Many?

    Iran is the arch enemy of Israel threatening to wipe off Israel
    Iran signed the deal with the seven great Nations of the world
    Iran insisted that the deal must be for 7 years. ( They could have agreed to the deal on their own terms though not openly)

    If the Iran Nuclear Deal is the covenant with many then the mid Tribulation is just few months away.


    God’s calendar is based on seven year cycles and God commands release of loans in the 7th year.
    Rosh Hashanah 2015 - Rosh Hashanah 2022 is one such cycle. 2022-2029, 2029- 2036 etc
    The mention of weeks in Daniel ( 70 weeks, 62 weeks, 7 weeks ) highlights God dealing in seven year cycles
    Iran Nuclear Deal was passed in congress just two days before Rosh Hashanah 2015.
    So it could have started Daniel’s 70 the week

    1. Anonymous,

      1. Not "the Bible" per se, but specifically the angel Gabriel gave the "70 Weeks" prophecy to Daniel. This prophecy was given to Gabriel as commanded by God. Daniel 9:22-23.

      2. This prophecy, Daniel 9:24-27, deals SPECIFICALLY with the Israel of the last days, the Israel that exists today.

      3. Daniel 9:24 identifies the 70 Weeks as being specifically for the Jews, as does verse 25. Verse 26 begins with Christ's sacrifice on the cross in Jerusalem which concluded the 69th Week.

      4. The current dispensation began on Pentecost, the so-called Church Age. This is the second half of verse 26, which includes everything from the Roman sack of Jerusalem and destruction of the Temple in 70 AD to today.

      5. Verse 27 begins the 70th Week. This too directly involes Israel, the Jews, and its key mid-Week event occurs in Jerusalem, in the 3rd Temple soon to be built. These is no question that the "covenent among many" will include Israel.

      You no more remove Israel from this than you can remove the spots from a leopard or the six points from the Star of David. You're response to Ken B could not be more erroneous.

  26. If you examine that passage closely, I don't think the bible speaks of the antichrist "making a covenant." It speaks of him "confirming THE covenant." Meaning a pre-existing covenant, perhaps God's eternal covenant deeding Jerusalem and/or the land of Israel to the Jews.

  27. It appears Iran doesn't have the defensive equipment or offensive equipment that can counter Israel technology.
    After Israel flew over Iran's nuclear facilities and then broadcasts it to the world as a message to them has Iran very nervous.
    I also hope that the reports of many Iranians coming to Christ is true. It will give some an opportunity to take part in the rapture. Praise God for His longsuffering toward us.

    ReplyDelete
  28. This has been covered here so many times that even I have lost count.

    In the context of Daniel 9:24-27, the "covenant among many" is indicative of an alliance, a treaty, an agreement or a pledge between men.

    It pre-exists the Antichrist's confirmation of its details, and the instant that confirmation is made begins the 70th and final week of years leading to the establishment of Christ's Kingdom.

  29. I guess I'm gonna have to spell this one out; it appears that no one got the prophetic significance within yesterday's (19 JUN) update. In order to understand God-breathed prophecy one has to study it. Live, breathe and sleep with it. All if it.

    Prophetically, where does Scripture declare that Israel's northern border will be located?

    The Euphrates River.

    Where is the Euphrates River?

    In Syria. Northern and Eastern Syria to be precise.

    Where did Israel strike its Iranian enemy 72 hours ago?

    At a place called al Abu Kamal (or Albukamal) which is in Syria across the Euphrates River opposite Al-Qaim, Iraq.

    Israel has fully and forcefully extended its first line of defense by 600 miles, all the way to the Euphrates River, it's prophetic northern border.

    And what does Isaiah 17 tell us about Syria? That like Damascus will cease to be a city, so too will Syria cease to be a kingdom. Syria to the Euphrates River will become Israel.

  30. Hezbollah naively believes that its war preparations and related operations in Lebanon are invisible to Israel.

    Hezbollah might catch a clue if they realized that Israel knows in great detail everything that's going on from their border to several hundred miles from their border, and that reaching out and "touching" those things is well within the IDF's capabilities.

  35. Hey Sean thank you for your hard work in keeping up with this ever-changing scenario regarding Israel and her surrounding enemies. I have never seen it addressed before in your column maybe I have missed it but if you think about the Ezekiel 38-39 invasion of Israel and the Jews burning the weapons of war in the aftermath for 7 years yet they are completely fleeing for their lives at the Midway point of Daniel's 70th week don't you have to backdate potentially the Gog Magog Invasion seven years prior to the Midway point of the 70th week? It seems to me like it will be anything but business as usual once the Antichrist goes on his Rampage to kill all of the Jews after he puts his image in the temple and I cannot see them continuing to burn the weapons of war after that Midway point which means the Gog Magog Invasion Could Happen up to three and a half years prior to the start of Daniel's 70th week. I would love to get your thoughts on that and commentary thank you. Richard j.

  36. Richard J.,

    Thank you for the kind words; this blog exists for the very purpose you've noted, to keep folks up to speed on prophetic developments in current events, many of which either do not get published elsewhere, or are considerably water-down.

    The point about Israel's burning of Magog Confederation weapons has been discussed he several times, and its certainly perplexes are lots of prophecy teachers with respect to its timing. My view is that there is nothing within the text of Ezekiel 39:9-10 which states unequivocally that the burning of the weapons for 7 years occurs immediately upon the conclusion of the attempt to conquer Israel.

    My view of the described invasion of Ezekiel 38/39 is that it occurs just prior to the 70th Week. This is a very quick attempt to invade and the resulting destruction of the enemy forces by the LORD's direct intervention. It could well occur within a single 24-hour day. The burial and seven month cleansing of the land occurs promptly thereafter.

    Notice that Ezekiel 39:9 says those who dwell in the cities, the house of Israel, will come out of those cities to accomplish this sacred task. They do not set about rebuilding anything such as cities or towns in Israel; they remain intact, undamged. The people come out of the cities to bury Gog and his military hordes in the Valley of Hamon Gog (Valley of the Passengers in present-day Jordan) near the new city of Hamonah. There is no concern among the Israeli people with an Antichrist or persecution of any kind; the people just go about the task of burying the dead and cleansing the land.

    In my view the burning of the weapons occurs during the Millenium. Getting back to Ezekiel 39:9-10, it talks about not taking wood from forests or cutting any down. We know from Revelation 8:7 that a third of all tree on earth are destroyed at the First Trumpet. Tree in the Millennium would be a precious commodity, so no one would cut them down for fuel. But buring of modern weapons that are constructed of composite materials such as graphite and a few others would be an obvious alternative at that time in the land of Israel.

    Also, note what is written in Revelation 13:14 regarding the beast from the earth, the False Prophet. Who does he have build the image of the beast? Men make the image of the beast, and the power of Satan within the False Prophet annimates that monstrosity.

    1. That's a good thought that I had not considered and it sounds like a plausible scenario. As the stage setting for these long ago prophecied events continues to accelerate and the prophetic puzzle comes into sharper focus it gives me the encouragement I need to keep myself and my sinful nature on an ever shorter leash just knowing that his coming grows ever nearer. At the age of 54 I see clearly how The lord JESUS saved ME from ME 37 years ago at the age of 15 and how he has been ever faithful all those years to continue to draw me to homself in spite of my many failings.Therefore I shall mot be one of those who shrink back in fear at his coming but want to run to meet him and thank him for delivering me from this ever pervasive sinful nature that needs to be kept in check 24/7/365. The great news is that our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed and these rapid fire events we are priveledged to witness in this genetation prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that his arrival draws ever closer!Even so, come quickly lord JESUS!AMEN!

  37. I don't think any prophecy teacher has yet posited as i have here about the burning of the weapons as fuel.

    Most are still considering this in terms that were prevalent and first brought forward in the early 1970's (more than 50 years ago!) The favorite back then was "Lignostone." Lignostone as an armor material is today as archaic as Kevlar. Combat materials advancement has progressed by great leaps and bounds.

    Graphite, graphene and all the other 21st Century composite materials had not even been thought of back then. Carbon was never seen as a substitute for steel (which will only begin to melt at 2,700 degrees F or 1400 degrees C) or other metal alloys until very recently; nowadays carbon in various forms and different types of ceramics are very commonplace through the military forces of the world, both in armored forces and body armor and soldiers combat weapons.
