IPDATED 1 January 2026: Day Four of the nation-wide anti-Twelver regime protests in the Islamic Republic might be remembered as the first day of the Iranian people's counter-revolution.
In the city of Hamedan, the epicenter of the pro-monarchist Pahlavi aspect of the revolt, the IRGC HQ was attacked and set ablaze. One IRGC/Basij soldier was killed and at least a dozen were wounded according to early intel. The response from the government was live fire and gas grenades.
A curious and unique development came from reformist Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian who said the rebelling populace have "legitimate grievances." Nothing like this has happened in the past ten years of Iranian popluar unrest.
The question now is will kinetic and neutralizing military assistance be forthcoming from the US and/or Israel?
UPDATE 7 January 2026: The rebellion against the Twelver regime has grown almost exponentially with each passing day. The Twelver thugs level of violence has increased with each utterance by the murderer-in-chief, ayatolleh khamenei.
And the talking heads in the U.S. political establishment, those not over-taken by Venezuelan issues, continue to assure the Iranian rebels that "<i>help is on the way</i>." What form that help will come in remains completely dark, or is at this point 100% covert. Israeli Mossad is present, so we assume our guys are also.
As Eschatology Today sees it, events are following Jeremiah's prophetic narrative as Ilam (Elam) province is slowly coming to the forefront.
Watching!
There was a lot of rhetoric in the past tens days, and the more recent came following the highly classified intel briefing PM Netanyahu delivered first to SECWAR Hegseth (a sounding board for POTUS). Within hours that briefing was delivered in-person to Trump which I read as indicative of its significance. Hence: Target Iran.
ReplyDeleteCould we be seeing the 4 winds, if so who are likely to be the two that assist the US and Israel?
ReplyDeleteTommy,
DeleteIn Jeremiah 49:36, and as most of the major prophets have done, the phrase "four winds" [ruah] is a metaphor used to describe the power God will use to drive the "Elamites/Iranians" into exile in the nations of the Earth.
"And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
I've always assumed it would be divine inspiration to leade 4 major powers to attack from all sides. That's why I come here, far more intellectual understands than I post on this blog and I appreciate it.
DeleteTommy,
DeleteThanks, you just made my day, if not my year with your reply. Thank you Brother!
Bro. Tommy; I always thought exactly the same - especially given Iran's neighbours being of the Sunni pursuasion. Bro. Sean's clarification is much appreciated.
DeleteBro. Sean - given the current date - making one's day and making one's 'year', are almost one and the same? ;-) . (Sorry, couldn't resist). Bro. Steve.
You're very welcome Sean. I may not reply much but I'm always learning from your perspective
DeleteReporting today on the Iran rebellion reveals multiple deaths on both sides of the confrontation lines have taken place in several cities.
ReplyDelete"Will kinetic and neutralizing military assistance be forthcoming" to the Iranian people?
ReplyDeleteContrary to the video circulating on social media, there was never a promise of military intervention made made by Netanyahu or Trump.
What Netanyahu promisedast August was that if the Iranian people overthrew the Twelver regime Israel would immediately dispatch experts to solve the water crisis in Iran.
I'm hoping intervention ("the sword") will be manifest.
President Trump on Truth Social 3 hours ago:
ReplyDelete"If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
Well, by his own spoken word "American forces, locked and loaded" should have made a dynamic entry onto one or more Iranian air bases. As of yesterday the IRGC and Basij auxilliaries have put 44 Iranians down.
ReplyDeleteMoreover they have taken a page from HAMAS/PIJ by holding the slain bodies hostage, refusing to release them to their kinfolk.
Surely the USIC has briefed POTUS on this.
In Venezula the Trump threats ofmilitary action are now a fact. American air-dropped ordnance found several targets in Caracas.
ReplyDelete
DeleteAs I wrote the above comment American SOF were engaged in an outstanding operation to capture Maduro (and his wife) and wisk them out of Venezuela.The OpDec was an American official saying Maduro's location was unknown. It was in a general sense. The multiple strikes in Caracas led to Venezuelan chatter which confirmed the location. Venezuelan videos showing 160th SOAR Chinooks and "Little Birds" over Caracas as impacts on several Venezuelan military sites were in progress confirmed a SpecOp was underway at 04:00 this morning.
Press conference in about 6 hours.
This SpecOps was highly unusual in that the heliborne troops penetrated deep in Venezuela under a virtal full moon (99.9% full).
DeleteTheir infil into the country preceded the heavy ordnance release and their exfil was underway over western Caracas as heavy ordnance was hitting Caracas.
Venezuelan Air Force was absent. Venezuelan anti-aircraft (SAMs and flak) fire was absent. Under a full-moon is highly unusual.
Hopefully the replacement will be better, at least for the sake of the Venezuelan people.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it will be Edmundo González.
DeleteHe won the last so-called election, but the Socialists stole it.
Maduro faces charges of:
ReplyDelete1) narco-terrorism conspiracy;
2) cocaine importation conspiracy;
3) possession of weapons and conspiracy to possess weapons and firearms against the United States.
No further action is Venezuela is expected according to the WH. A Venezuelan member in the government provided critical intel.
ReplyDeleteI watched most of the press conference a few hours ago. Is it a coincidence that POTUS' beloved older brother died from alcohol addiction? The 300,000 drug related deaths he spoke of today are not abstract numbers for him. For POTUS, this is personal.
ReplyDeleteTruly all things work together for good for those that are called according to God's purposes, even horrible things like losing a beloved brother to addiction. This brings to mind what Joseph said to his brothers in Egypt, "You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good, to save many lives."
Interesting analogy, Evie. Though I don’t want to diminish the prophetic circumstances of Joseph, I also see a correlation here. Donald Trump was left for dead and buried in the year 2020, but praise to God, man does not have the final say in this matter.
DeleteAmerica too, was considered dead after the steal of 2020. You could say that we, the USA, came back from the dead as well.
To have recovered our freedom after this evidential coup would seem to me very impossible odds. Yet again, praise God for His will is always good.
In a geopolitical sense, this past year and this year seem to be the crescendo all of us watching have so patiently been waiting for. Perhaps this is the culmination of good things provided by Him before the rapture, leaving a vacuum filled with horrendous evil that many on the fence today, will understand and come in overwhelming numbers to the truth and knowledge of our everlasting savior, Jesus.
Blessings to everyone here in 2026!
Joe
The Venezuela issue is not dead. It has a good chance to be a "Noriega, Pt. Two."
ReplyDeleteTwo Venezuelan men, Diosdado Cabello and also Padrino Lopez are the regime now that Maduro is in custody. These two are in charge of the defense and justice system of Venezuela. They are running the regime. They are part of the Cartel de Los Soles.
DeleteAnd before folks can take a nap, just remember, or now learn, what "locked and loaded" really means. It means that the right kind of American forces are in theater and they're prepared to intervene to halt the Twelver thugs killing of the Iranian people.
ReplyDeleteThe figure recently given was in the 40s. But that combined both civilians and IRGC fatalities. The real number is now 16 civilians killed, and IRGC/Basij are more than twice that.
I've covered Operation Southern Spear even though there are no prophetic implications, but simply because President Trump determined weeks ago to effect a positive regime change in Venezuela, for its people and its economic recovery.
ReplyDeleteThat said, it is the position of Eschatology Today that President Trump is no "Cyrus" and has nothing to do with ancient events. Trump has been blessed by God to effect things in bringing about the order that has been noted in prophecy for these last days.
There's a lot of rumors circulating about Mexico, Cuba and Colombia. They are the 75-meter targets.
ReplyDeleteIran is the 10-meter target.
Iran funds Hezbollah. Hezbollah has had carte blanche access in Venezuela for terrorism, smuggling - you name it - for 40 years. To strangle Hezbollah in Venezuela (and South America) Iran needs to be taken down.
DeleteAnother likely option is dispatching our forces to eliminate Hezbollah on their Venezuelan bases (Maracaibo, etc.).
The reason Cuba has been singled out in a significant threat by SECSTATE Rubio is related to the fact, now acknowledged by Cuba, that 30 of its special forces were wiped out as US Army Delta made their entry into Maduro's last redoubt. We know that the entire security detail surrounding Maduro did not survive, leading to the idea that a foreign security force of Communist Cubans held up the Venezuelan regime.
ReplyDeleteAssessment: There's so much more to all of this than has been made public, or that the public really cares about. Nevertheless we can detect that the US is acting with great force to dissassble the threat. There's drama on the high seas, an oil tanker hunt, sanctions busting runaround hide'n'seek. There's a nexus of enemy nations that are tied to Iran, Russia, China, Cuba and several South American countries, like Colombia and possibly Brazil. In the big picture, a global conflagration may be near.
Iran will not be permitted to continue its missile and nuclear reconstruction.
By the way, the overwhelming success of the U.S. forces assembled for Operation Southern Spear proves beyond any doubt that Trump is not blowing smoke when he talks about the peerless American military.
ReplyDeleteAs the Maduro snatch/grab began we essentially flipped a switch and turned Venezuelan defenses off. No kidding. Electronic warfare shutdown of Chinese-made radars made the vast U.S. air armada or more than 100 combat aircraft (F-22s, F-35s, F-18s, EA-18s, E-2s, B-1s and helicopters) invisible. Russian Buk-M2 SAMs were sitting ducks.
Iran is in deep trouble just as Jeremiah prphesied.
Today the IDF has launched a large operation to destroy HAMAS and Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. The Lebanese government's statements have been proven to be worthless.
ReplyDeleteCovert Ops ongoing in Iran.
ReplyDeleteIranian police are reported to be joining the rebellion.
ReplyDeleteThere is a ticking clock; it's ticking down to this year's mid-term elections in November. If the GOP loses these elections then there's a near certainty the President Trump will be impeached by the Deep State and Democrats.
ReplyDeleteBro. Sean; Well, that at least partially explains DJT aggressive moves of late. If they can make a reasonable dent in the organised vote-rigging, the Dems will get hit pretty hard. That and a possibly sigificant number of indictments. I'm sure that your new Venezuelan visitor will have a lot to say on that front. Bro. Steve
DeleteThis is with certainty DJT POTUS as we've not seen him before. And this includes threats to the Colombian head of state to watch his backside; possible military action in Mexico and against NATO ally Denmark, which via Art. 5 includes the whole of NATO minus the U.S.; the few thousand Greenlanders thselves who just want the status quo. It makes no sense to me in that via NATO the U.S. already has Greenland in its hip pocket. And Canada?!?! Really?!?!
DeleteProphetically, is this yet another foreshadowing of the Antichrist taking over for himself three of the kings in his allied group? I'm beginning to wonder! The "hit parade" of unprecedented things is stunning to see.
Nevertheless this is God via the Restrainer calling the shots. Let us Pray (and pass the popcorn).
The Russian-flagged oil tanker Marinera has been seized by the the 160th SOAR and USCG near the UK. A Russian submarine sent to escort Marinera arrived too late.
