Global SITREP A8-24: The War in the North Part III

22 April 2024/14 Nisan 5784: We begin SITREP A8-24 and Part III of this series on Erev Pesach ('Eve of Passover') by noting once again that nothing was resolved in the recent strike/counter-strike between Israel and the Twelver regime currently in power in Iran. 

On the surface the demand upon Israel's War Cabinet led by PM Bibi Netanyahu government to defer from escalation of the war primarily lies with the Biden Administration and certain European countries. To these demands Netanyahu's coalition war cabinet reluctantly agreed to abide, despite calls from the powerful Religious Zionist faction in the Knesset to strike the Twelver Regime's military assets far more decisively than what took place. And in Gaza, Israel's supposed allies (I use the term loosely) have so manipulated that aspect of the war that had they not done so HAMAS and its terrorist Gazan allies would have ceased to exist months ago.

However, the true fact of the matter is that Almighty God had no such appointment for this past week, or in weeks now passed for such decisive moments in this war, meaning that the process of fulfillment for a host of prophetic texts appointed times continues on the path He has determined from ancient times. 

Again, on the surface there is zero indication that the Shi'a Twelver's have abandoned their apocalyptic eschatological beliefs, and on Israel's part the determination to prevail over all of the surrounding enemies remains as strong as ever. In sum this indicates that West Asia (i.e. Middle East) remains on the precipice of tremendous conflict, the result of which we know so very clearly through Scripture. Put another way, the current status quo is most obviously unsustainable, even in the short-term and particularly for Eretz Israel which is still reeling from the greatest and bloodiest tragedy since the founding of the State of Israel almost 76 years ago, not to mention the dozens of Israeli civilians still held hostage by the jihadists who remain in Gaza.

Global SITREP A7-24: The War in the North Part II

12 April 2024: The cyber-sky is full of media and supposed insider flak at present regarding the who, what, when and how the Twelver Regime might attempt to strike in retaliation for Israel's strike on the IRGC-QF headquarters destruction of eleven days ago. And this doesn't even account for a highly probable Israeli response, a potential American retaliation against Iran and the massive amount of international hand-wringing over the entire possible if not probable rumors of war scenarios. 

Most of the guesswork in the MSM citing anonymous official sources has, obviously, missed the mark thus far, they predicted before then end of Ramadan. The Wall Street Journal, citing a source claiming to have been briefed by the Twelver Regime itself, is the latest to put forward a timeline: within 24-48 hours of daybreak today.

Eschatology Today's current assessment of the entire gamut of known unknowns is what will be, will be. However, a direct mass attack into Israel by any or all of Iran's proxies, including Iran itself, could easily result in a massive Israeli strike against the Twelver Regime inside of Iran, as well as in Lebanon and Syria. Might this be a pending fulfillment of Jeremiah 49:24-27 and 34-39, followed closely by Isaiah 17, Joshua 13:1-7  and ultimately the final act of Psalm 83? We're about to find out the details of these prophetic appointment of the Lord.

Global SITREP A6-24: The War in the North

Iranian Consulate After the IAF Strikes on 1 April 2024

UPDATED 1 April 2024: It has taken several hours to piece together what occurred in Damascus around 5 PM Israel time today. As can be seen in the image above Israeli F-35I Adir strike aircraft have given a preview of what Damascus itself will look like in the near future according to Isaiah 17 - "a ruinous heap."

According to the preponderance of media sources a pair if IAF F-35I Adir's struck the complex of buildings surrounding the Iranian Embassy in Damascus. Specifically, the consular annex and the Iranian Ambassadors residence were leveled. Multiple fatalities, reportedly numbering 7 individuals, resulted from the strike, chief among them was Brigadier General Mohammed Reza Zahedi, a senior official of the IRGC-Quds Force, his deputy, Brigadier General Mohammed Hajrahimi and Hussain Amir Allah the IRGC Chief of Staff in Syria and Lebanon. The precision airstrike was directed at what the Iranian's believed was a clandestine meeting between the IRGC-QF and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) chiefs. The assessed death toll indicates that other terrorist leaders may have also been in attendance, as well as at least two other Iranian officers. Iran's foreign ministry immediately responded that their response to Israel will be "harsh." 

This strike is indicative that the IDF's directive of last week to expand the war northward has gone into its first phase of execution. It is crystal clear that this was a decapitation strike directed against Iran's senior commanders; it's what a military force would be expected to do at the commencement of major hostilities. Israeli strike aircraft were robustly striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon and HAMAS, PIJ targets in Gaza. In all of this the IDF has maintained is customary silence with most of the media reporting being attributed to "Israeli officials" leaking data to the New York Times that Israel was responsible for the strikes. Arab media also carried similar reports. The aspect of the strike being a pair of F-35I Adirs may be assessed to Syrian air defenses inability to target for intercept these stealth aircraft in any meaningful manner.

According to Israeli and Western intelligence sources the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, its co-located consulate and annex building were the grand central station of thee IRGC-QF, weapons transfers to Hezbollah, HAMAS, PIJ and even into Judea and Samaria prior to October 7 and to the present. Some will recall that in the past five months Eschatology Today revealed that the Iranian Twelvers stated they were withdrawing all of the senior military "advisors" from Syria following Israel's assassination of Major General Razi Mousavi on Christmas Day 2023, and the strike in Damascus on 20 January 2024 which killed five high-ranking IRGC-QF officers, including a pair of deputy intelligence officers, Sadegh Omidzadeh and Hajj Gholam. The one thing Iran is more prolific in other than terrorism and outright warfare against Israel is lying through their Twelver teeth.

Yesterday morning well-known IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari announced that the IRGC-QF was responsible for the drone attack on the Israeli naval base in Eilat which was launched from Iraq and overflew Jordan's airspace. Iraqi and Jordanian proxy terrorists in the service of the IRGC-QF are part of an anticipated "harsh" Iranian response in the coming days. The Hezbollah Brigades, a/k/a Kata'ib Hezbollah, of Iraq are promising the introduction of 12,000 Jordanians to attack into Israel. Relations between Israel and Jordan have soured considerably since October 7, 2023.

Finally, Iran is reported to have directed its overseas IRGC-QF operatives (terrorist sleeper cells) to strike Israel's diplomatic compounds in the Middle East, Europe and especially in the United States. Ayatollah Khamenei has promised a bloodbath and said that Iran holds the United States specifically responsible as Israel's military and financial enabler. This is where the Biden Administration's open border policy in the southwestern states could turn into a disaster in an election year. Any sleeper cell terrorists who wanted to get in have probably been in the US for many, many months. Some government agencies have been issuing warnings in this vein of late.
