Global SITREP A3-25: The Issues at Hand

 

Iran Sprints to Nuclear Weapons Capability

UPDATED February 4, 2025: One of, if not highest priority topic to be discussed in Israeli PM Netanyahu's current visit to Washington, D.C. is the problem of Iranian nuclear weapons. It is no coincidence that in the past twelve hours the New York Times published their knowledge of a new U.S. intelligence assessment which holds that Iran has embarked on a sprint to nuclear weapons capability. The reported thinking behind the new assessment is that a small cadre of Iran's best scientific minds are engaged in a faster track to crude and deliverable nuclear weapons. The US-Israel discussions will be focused on whether to attempt a new nuke deal with Iran or to launch preemptive strikes. Timing will be critical going forward considering the plethora of other high priority issues under discussion.

Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Panama, Mexico, China-Taiwan, Russia-Ukraine, EU-NATO, the list goes on and on in the international arena. And this is now an era, as we all well aware of "America First" domestic issues. The 'roaring and tossing of the seas' indeed! Let's take a very short break and see what emerges from this US-Israel summit. 

US-Israel Summit 4 February 2025

7 February 2025: As we're all aware the Trump-Netanyahu meeting was a seismic event followed by an equally powerful aftershock. Move the population out of Gaza which was quickly followed up with a temporary American takeover of the Gaza Strip in order to rebuild it from the 140 square miles of uninhabitable rubble it is today (image below). And most of the world gasped at such a prospective undertaking until American SECSTATE Rubio chided all of the naysayers with "if you have a better idea, let's hear it." If you were listening to this, you could have heard the proverbial pin drop. As expected not one of the opinionated detractors, both Jewish and Gentile, had ever given a single brain cell worth of thought to the idea. In the usual Trumpian style the American president blind-sided the entire globe. First is the lightning strike, then the thunder is heard.

And it does not matter if the idea behind the rebuilding of Gaza becomes a reality, this American President has shown the whole world just how much of a boss he is. Truth be told, the Gaza Plan was not entirely Trump's idea. It was a kernel of thought given voice in a private meeting by his Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

One of the views I find most amusing comes from Israel's military intelligence directorate's chief, Major General Shlomi Binder. MG Binder expressed his worries about this Gaza plan destabilizing Jordan and of dire repercussions during the upcoming Muslim month of Ramadan to "ignite" the region. Clearly this is a secular Jewish viewpoint which has never really had the slightest inclination to review what the ancient prophets of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel) have foretold in the Tanakh (the Christian Old Testament). However, it's a good thing that others in Israel believe in the God of Israel and His promises.

10 February 2025: The Iranian military, specifically the IRGC Quds (Jerusalem) Force leadership, are beseeching Ayatollah Khamenei to issue an official nuclear weapons fatwa (religious edict) on their acquisition of nuclear weapons, whereas previously the official position has been that the acquisition of nuclear weapons was not within Shi'a religious dogma. The Quds Force is now openly saying that they cannot 'wipe out" Israel without nuclear weapons; that Shi'a Twelver possession of nukes would hasten the arrival of the al-Mahdi.

Looking forward to what the remainder of this month brings to light, be it Israeli sovereignty for Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley or the reignition of the destruction of HAMAS and Hezbollah. These are most prophetically exciting times!

UPDATE 11 February 2025: Since HAMAS' invasion of Israel, cold blooded murder of thousands of ordinary people and the by force-of-arms abduction of men, women as well as a child and an infant all the world has cried out and made incessant noise about "humanitarian aid" for the Gazan's. Tens of thousands of tons of "humanitarian aid" on as many semi-tractor trailers entered Gaza only to be commandeered by the terrorists.

Yet not so much as a whimper of concern about the humanitarian needs (food, water, medicines) of the Israeli and foreign nationals held captive, chained like animals, starved and regularly beaten by their terrorist captors has been heard from all the world's wailing masses.

President Trump has promised "hell to pay" if the release of ALL captives does not occur by Noon on the fifth day from today. "Hell to pay" is too lenient a price for such sub-human vermin. 

Nevertheless, we pray for them to recognize Yeshua HaMashiach and receive the salvation paid for by His sacrificial blood. Praying this is probably the hardest thing I've had to, but pray it I have.

Marana'tha!
