Ayn al-Asad Airbase |
Update 18 January 2020: President Trump, as we're all aware of now, warned the Ayatollah of Iran about 52 targets that would he struck if American military personnel were killed in retaliatory strikes by Iranian forces. President Trump noted that included within those 52 targets were Iranian "cultural sites." Most everyone, including the entire gamut of media, was aghast at the idea of American weapons destroying Iranian cultural sites.
Three years now and people still do not fully comprehend "Trump-speak." It's a fact.
When President Trump said "cultural sites" he was unambiguously informing the Ayatollah, his Twelver regime and the IRGC: WE KNOW YOU'RE USING IRANIAN CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS SITES AS COVER FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT.
Let that sink in as it has for the Iranian Twelver regime. It is language they understand implicitly as not just a threat, but a promise that remains in effect.
8 January 2020: The media, lock, stock and barrel, is rife today with not just disinformation about what took place last night in Iraq, but absolute bald-face lies. And they cite "Western sources" as the origin for the "truth" they are trying to cloud our minds with.
The claim, which actually originated from within the propaganda of the Iranian government, is that the volley of ballistic missiles were deliberately pre-programmed to miss killing American and allied troops at Ayn al-Asad Airbase. This lie is intended to deceive and convince the public that the Iranian government intended to do no harm; that they just had to save face and show their people a win against the "Great Satan" by firing harmless missiles at an American airbase.
Earlier today the image at the top was acquired. It may go viral in due course, along with others like it. Save it, enlarge it, and look closely at it. You will see white-dashes forming circles in several (five to be precise) places in the base perimeter. Those are NOT misses. They are, in fact, direct hits on facilities which had been populated by American and allied troops.
American orbital reconnaissance satellites, of many types and capabilities, had detected Iranian preparations for a ballistic missile attack many hours before the fact. The soldiers who would have been in harms way, in the very structures that were hit, were moved well in advance to safe, secure spaces. This was done hours prior to the Swiss/Iraqi communication that Iran was going to attack. It was the US intelligence which ultimately saved Iran, its people and probably the world at-large, from the devastating consequences of American strikes, many of which would have obliterated active Iranian nuclear weapons sites.
If you have not already done so, watch President Trump's statement made this morning and carefully listen to what he said. Do so with the information you have now just read in mind. Yes, American mainstream media, all the major TV and cable news networks, would rather fill your head with the abject lies concocted by the Iranian regime simply because of their all-consuming hatred of President Donald J. Trump.
P.S. Eschatology Today advised its readership to track events today on the Times of Israel website. Unbeknownst to Eschatology Today THIS was published about two hours ago. Imagine that, truth being told in Israeli media, but not in American media.
Sean,
ReplyDeleteIran has launched missiles directly from Iran against the U.S bases instead of through their proxies, this is a bad miscalculation by Iran. This opens the door for NATO, led by the U.S. to put an end to the decades of Iran's involvement in the affairs of other countries. It would appear the biblical prophecies concerning Elam are on the cusp of happening IF it is in the Lord's time.
Thanks for the updates.
Jeff
Jeff,
DeleteI'm considering we may be witnessing a subsequent fulfilling of the Ram vs Goat prophecy of Daniel.
In other words, this is not over by any means. There will be more strikes, and Iraq must behave as a sovereign nation behaves.
POTUS Trump spoke in very serious and somber tones. His words were an unambiguous warning to Iran.
ReplyDeletePOTUS Trump's first words, "As long as I am President of the United States, Iran will not possess nuclear weapons," were as ominous as any words could be.
Irans 41-year history of terrorism and aggression "are over."
Iran will end its nuclear program voluntarily (or it will be ended for them.) This is non-negotiable. Iran is on hair-trigger notice, its behavior changes now, or else.
The US is not going to endlessly endure the expense of rushing troops over to the ME every time Iran gets cranky for its al-Mahdi.
NATO will also be brought into the equation of eliminating the Twelver threat to the civilized world.
Kata'ib Hezbollah did not understand Trump's WARNORD. They just released this message:
ReplyDelete"Our calculations for response to
US have now become more urgent and complex.”
(i.e. How can we attack the US and not get Iran blown to smithereens?)
The Hashd al-Shaabi militias will continue to lob rockets at our troops and Embassy in Iraq. They are under the control of the Ayatollah and IRGC-QF MG Esmail al-Qa'Ani. When they kill and American or hit the Embassy... Trump will cry havoc and cut loose our dogs of war. They have been so notified.
ReplyDeleteSean and All
ReplyDeleteI'm reading that the reason why no Americans or Iraqi personnel were hurt or killed is that Iraqi military on those bases were most likely forewarned of missile strikes. They were all told to shelter in place and or some actually left the bases and sought shelter.
Ken,
DeleteThat is exactly what I'm talking about in the second update.
WHO forewarned the Iraqi and other CJTF-OIR troops on out joint bases all across Iraq?
Based on OUR intelligence, WE issued the alert warning hours before the Swiss relayed a warning to the Iraqi government.
To their credit, one intrepid Fox reported has cited US satellites as the source of the intel that generated the WARNORD (Warning Order) that saved many, many lives.
Again, the image above proves beyond any doubt that the Iranian missile strike intended to kill as many as possible.
P.S. had the troops run the SIP (Shelter In Place) drill, they would have been killed by the direct hits on at least the 5 circled facilities in the image.
ReplyDeleteThey were evacuated to safe places well in advance of impacts.
This is God's master plan in action brothers and sisters. So so many small pieces to His awesome end times process. Not a coincidence here as many not watching will say. Thks Sean for this incredible information.
ReplyDeletepontoon pops,
DeleteIndeed it is God's master plan and we're seeing it come to pass in macroscopic detail!
The "coalition of nations" that emerged from how the Lord led me to interpret Jeremiah 49:34-39 has been an extant and undeniable fact for over 5 years now, and will soon include the whole of NATO.
Gives me joyous chills thinking about it!
A short time ago a large IRGC-QF arms shipment was decimated if not wholly destroyed by the IAF in the Deir Ezzor border region.
ReplyDeleteAlso, a very similar air strike occurred on the Iraq-Iran border at about the same time.
DeleteSomething's up.
Update... at Deir Ezzor tonight two IAF F-35I Adir's struck an IRGC-QF ballistic missile battery being prepped to fire on northern Israel tomorrow (10JAN20).
DeleteAs a mother of a military member my heart's all a twitter waiting and watching. This is exciting to say the least. This is also the most I've posted on this blog. Lol Keep the updates coming Sean. I'm sending them to my son to keep him informed. This is such a great witnessing tool for him!!
ReplyDeleteBaptistmama,
ReplyDeleteGod bless your son; we all raise him and all of our troops up in prayer to the Lord. My prayer is also for them to quickly achieve mission complete and come home ASAP.
I'm monitoring things as closely as possible in near real-time because it's necessary, it's my mission.
I know that Sean. I've read your blog for years. God bless you, and may He grant you strength to keep up your mission. Thanks for the prayers, and thank you for your service!
ReplyDeleteAccording to OSINT, Iran resumed full uranium enrichmrnt at their Fordow plant today. Tick tock.
ReplyDeleteSimmering continues...
ReplyDeleteAbbas Ali Al-Sa'edi, the Hashd al-Sha'abi (PMF) commander, was assassinated in Karbala, Iraq today.
Now that the truth of Iran's shoot down of the Ukrainian airliner and death of all onboard is known to the Iranian people there are severe disturbances and protests all over the country, especially in Tehran.
In one protest at a university the Basij unwittingly arrested the UK Ambassador on charge of inciting a riot. They soon found out his diplomatic immunity and he was released.
Within the last hour the IRGC-QF controlled Hashd al-Shaabi (PMF) began firing rockets at the big Balad Air Base, a joint Iraqi-US base. Numerous Iraqi casualties being reported. Monitoring...
ReplyDeleteUnconfirmed reports that one or two senior officials in Iran gov't could suddenly resign. One of them could be Rouhani, the other a senior vice president.
ReplyDeleteThese may be positioning resignations... Iranian security forces are firing live ammunition at anti-regime protesters. Couriously, western media reports are portraying the protests as anti-Western.
Anti-Western... the protesters are pulling down the large Soleimani banners and stomping on them. The regime is despised by the people.
DeleteHezbollah's leader-in-hiding Hassan Nasrallah announced today that it's time for Iran's allies to take revenge for Qassem Soleimani's killing.
ReplyDeleteBack when Hezbollah and the Quds Force were initially stood up it was Imad Mughniyeh, Qassem Soleimani and Hassan Nasrallah who took the lead. Only Nasrallah survives today. Mughniyeh killed 2008, Soleimani [So-lay-mah-nee) last week.
Amazing, we have Iranian protesters avoiding stepping on the American and Israel flags and we have politicians running for President continually stomping on our flag and constitution.
ReplyDeleteThe pro-Iran Badr Organization headquarters has been torched by protesters in Karbala, Iraq.
ReplyDeleteAt Beheshti University in Tehran protesters refuse to walk on large US and Israeli flags painted on the pavement by the regime. They chant "Basij you are the enemy, Basij you kill the people."
The revolution in Iran continues.
Sean, I’m wondering your thoughts on Iran. Understanding Iran’s eschatology, their people uprising and it’s economy being decimated. Is it going to be war or capitulation to allow them the delusional time to complete there nuclear aspersions?
ReplyDeleteAlso, is Iran at this time informing all of the regional proxies to stay low? It all seems awfully calm outside of Iran lately.
As always, appreciate all the insight to this quagmire you so diligently provide the rest of us watching!
God bless
Joe,
DeleteIran will not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. This is due to the apocalyptic nature of the theology of the Twelver regime.
It now appears that armed intervention will be necessary to halt their nuclear weapons program. It nearly happened last week, and will likely occur sometime in the coming weeks when an attack by the IRGC-QF or PMF proxies on American forces takes place.
It is anything but calm in Iraq where protests against Iran continue and Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria prepare for more attacks against the US & Israel.
To follow up with my comment above... the assessment of the Israel Defense Forces is that Iran will have fully developed a nuclear strike capability by next year.
ReplyDeleteUnderstand... this means specifically nuclear warheads of at least 200kT yield. Iran already has nuclear-capable cruise missiles.
My assessment is that the US, Israel and others will have no option but to launch a massive preemptive strike in the coming months, next year would be too late.
Two Iranian 747 cargo aircraft delivered war materiel to Syria's T4 Air Base today. Israel promptly attacked and destroyed the delivery.
ReplyDeleteThank’s for your assessment, Sean. Over the many years it’s been months, weeks and now days for prophecy land marks to appear...
ReplyDeleteI sorta lost my head there when just 2 days past:-) phew
Sean, where do you see the destruction of Damascus come in if there is to be a soon massive preemptive strike by Israel or the US on Iran’s nuclear capability? Thanks, Robin.
ReplyDeleteRobin,
DeleteAs the result of a WMD retaliation strike against Israel that originates from Syria.
The video message by IDF CoS Kohavi on 25DEC19 makes it crystal clear that cities will no longer be immune in Gaza, Lebanon or Syria; that the "human shield" tactic is no longer valid for enemy forces who launch rocket attacks from those cities. The people will be warned to leave immediately, then ka-boom.
Sean,
ReplyDeleteI am wrestling with one issue. Knowing the apocalyptic nature of the twelvers, and understanding that they need anarchy and chaos to bring about their 12th Iman, why (?) did they seemingly back off when they could have easily engaged the US...and probably Israel in a massive confrontation? I realize it is ALL in God's prophetic timing, and that is how I have settled the question myself. However, it seems perhaps that Iran is "planning" a big strike (perhaps with those nuke tipped cruise missiles) and just isn't ready to implement that big plan as of yet. Maybe the leaders prefer to have their people sacrifice their lives and personally are not fans of death. I know this is far from done, and the prophecy has not yet come to fruition. I fully expect Iran to do something very stupid which will bring about Jer 49.
Anyway, just pondering that "why" question.
Appreciate you!!
LD
LD,
DeleteThe "why" is because they fear our power. They do not yet have a working nuke warhead, and provoking Trump to stike by attacking US forces would guarantee they never get one.
We may yet destroy the nuke weapons program soon, but the missiles are the Lord's to deal with.
Breaking... the entire Russian Government just resigned, from Medvedev on down.
ReplyDeleteAre we seeing another Dictatorship, Mr Putin.
DeleteNick,
DeleteThanks, I appreciate your notice of the "bait" comment of 24 hours ago.
Now it's time to cut bait and fish for men (and women!)!
Yesterday, in the Russian cabinet mass resignation, I believe we witnessed the first act in the real-world establishment of "Gog of Magog."
This calls for a new SITREP posting later today.
Once again IRGC-QF MG Esmail Qa'Ani has threatened the US saying that his "freedom fighters" are global and will take harsh revenge for Qassem Soleimani's death.
ReplyDeleteAlso, last night, rocket defense at the US EMB Baghdad alerted to incoming ordnance. Those rockets fell short, no injuries reported.
A new SITREP, IRAN Part IV, will track continuing events.
Pentagon said today that there are now 34 soldiers who have suffered "traumatic brain injury" from the IRGC-QF SRBM attack on Ayn al-Asad AB.
ReplyDeleteSomething very unconventional intregral to those SRBMs.
I hope it will be made public to ensure our President will respond appropriately.
ReplyDeletejmoll,
ReplyDeleteThe most complete account in the MSM that I've located thus far linked below. NYT & WSJ reports are short on details, long on anti-Trump biases.
34 US Troops brain injuries fron Iran strike
Thanks for the link, I hope we don't go the way of blow for blow, that only extends opportunities for the enemy.
