The chatter coming over the social media wires tonight are all pointing to Trump and the United States entering the war between Israel and Iran

At any moment, it is not only possibly but highly likely, that the President Trump will direct the United States military to send bombers into Iran and obliterate Tehran’s nuclear facilities. All of them. Israel has done a spectacular job so far, but it is already evident that the IDF does not possess the bunker-busting firepower the US has in order to finish the job themselves. Having the United States step in is a foregone conclusion, but if we do, what does that leave us?

“Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?” Luke 14:31 (KJB)

Where do world wars come from? If you look at the start of World War I and World War II, what you will see is a series of regional conflicts that had one, singular defining moment that became the catalyst for connecting all the pieces of the puzzle together. In World War I, it was the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand. In World War II it was Germany invading Poland. The United States entering the conflict in the Middle East, on the side of Israel, and blowing up the nuclear facilities in Iran that were built by Russia, could certainly be such an event to trigger World War III. All the elements are in place, nothing else needs to be done other than light the fuse. Say a prayer before you go to sleep tonight, because should the Lord wake you up in the morning, you will likely find the United States will either be at war, or a kitten’s whisker away from it. Tick-tock goes the end times clock.

• UPDATE 1:25 PM EST JUNE 17: President Trump officially announces that the United States has joined the war against Iran with Israel.

Trump departs the G7 early as conflict between Israel and Iran shows signs of intensifying

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: Asked what it would take for the U.S. to get involved in the conflict militarily, Trump said Monday morning, “I don’t want to talk about that.“

So far, Israel has targeted multiple Iranian nuclear program sites but has not been able to destroy Iran’s Fordo uranium enrichment facility. The site is buried deep underground — and to eliminate it, Israel may need the 30,000-pound (14,000-kilogram) GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, the U.S. bunker-busting bomb that uses its weight and sheer kinetic force to reach deeply buried targets. Israel does not have the munition or the bomber needed to deliver it. The penetrator is currently delivered by the B-2 stealth bomber.

By Monday afternoon, Trump warned ominously on social media, “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” Shortly after that, Trump decided to leave the summit and skip a series of Tuesday meetings that would address the ongoing war in Ukraine and global trade issues.

As Trump posed for a picture Monday evening with the other G7 leaders, he said simply, “I have to be back, very important.”

The sudden departure only heightened the drama of a world that seems on verge of several firestorms. Trump already has hit several dozen nations with severe tariffs that risk a global economic slowdown. There has been little progress on settling the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

The European leaders wanted to help de-escalate the situation, rather than enflame it in ways that could spread through the Middle East in unpredictable ways. Trump, for his part, said Iran “is not winning this war. And they should talk and they should talk immediately before it’s too late.” READ MORE

Trump tells people to “get out of Tehran” as US military loads up in Middle East

President Donald Trump sent Iran into panic mode last night when he warned Iranian citizens to “get out of Tehran” as he cut his time short at the G7 meeting in Canada.

Trump and US ‘seriously considering’ action against Iran

“The US is giving itself an option to launch military operations against Iran, I think in the next week or so,” Mr Jennings told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “The Americans are now very seriously considering being part of a strike option. “I don’t think they’ll go more broadly than the nuclear facilities and perhaps some missile facilities … but there is no way to go back to negotiation at this point.”

Growing Israeli air superiority over the Islamic Republic in capital Tehran is enabling the IDF to identify and strike dozens of new targets not included in the original battle plan, with killer drones playing a part

Iranian media reported several explosions and heavy air defense fire in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Tuesday. At the same time as explosions were being reported, US President Donald Trump called on Iranian civilians to “immediately evacuate Tehran” in a post on Truth Social. “Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,” Trump wrote. “I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”

“For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.” Isaiah 37:32 (KJB)

It has only been four days, but a whole lot of action has been packed into that relatively short amount of time. Israel has a very power line of  Killer Drones from Elbit Systems featuring the Hermes 450 and 900. And as it turns out, despite official distancing from Israel, the United States is actually playing a fairly substantial role in Israel’s quest to rid Iran of any and all ability to create a nuclear weapon. So the realistic chance that Iran can win this battle is right at absolute zero. The wildcard of course would be if Russia, China or North Korea decided they wanted in on the action, too. It’s just my opinion, but it feels like something really big is about to happen. Does it feel that way to you?

Over Tehran, Israeli drones are on the hunt: How the killer drones operate in Iran

FROM YNET NEWS: Israeli Air Force drones—particularly the Hermes 450 and other models from Elbit Systems’ Hermes family—were active over Tehran on Sunday, targeting senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officials and mobile anti-aircraft missile launchers mounted on trucks.  These missions aim to neutralize threats and improve the detection of new targets by Israeli aircraft. Remarkably, just over a year ago, these drones were restricted from operating even in Lebanese airspace due to the risk of being shot down by Hezbollah. Now, they are operating deep within Iran’s capital, thousands of miles from home.

In the past 24 hours alone, dozens of targets were struck by the Israeli Air Force in Tehran and many were not part of the original intelligence database when Operation Swords of Iron began early Friday morning.

The destruction of hundreds of Iranian radar systems and anti-aircraft batteries has enabled the Israeli military to not only “pave the way to Tehran”—located on the far side of Iran—but also to meet the ambitious directive of Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar: “Turn the third circle into the first—strike Tehran two to three times a day, not just once a week.”

While the U.S. officially distances itself from Israeli operations in Iran, behind the scenes, CENTCOM provides critical support in intelligence, early warning systems and missile defense. American naval assets are en route to the region, enhancing Israel’s ability to intercept Iranian missile threats.

This cooperation has proven vital. Real-time intelligence allows for 15–20 minutes of advance warning before missile launches. Systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow intercept incoming threats, with each layer providing a unique defense capability. Israeli officials also credit the Trump administration’s earlier decisions and the recent unfreezing of munitions by the Biden administration for enabling these operations.

“People don’t realize how much the release of U.S. munitions has empowered us,” said one security official. “A quarter-ton bomb that destroys a missile launcher costs far less than an Arrow 3 interceptor.”

To conserve resources, the IAF has adopted a controversial but calculated policy: it does not intercept Iranian missiles projected to land in uninhabited areas. Of approximately 250 launches, several dozen were allowed to fall in open terrain, causing no casualties or property damage. READ MORE

IDF claims full control of Tehran airspace, issues major evacuation warning for all Iranian citizens to leave the area. Will the US step in with bunker-busting B-2 bombers?

The IDF issued an unprecedented evacuation warning for a large section of Iran’s capital, Tehran, ahead of Israeli strikes. “Dear citizens, for your safety, we ask you to immediately leave the mentioned area in District 3 of Tehran,” says the IDF Persian-language spokesman, Master Sgt. (res.) Kamal Penhasi. “In the coming hours, the Israeli army will operate in this area, as it has in recent days throughout Tehran, to strike the Iranian regime’s military infrastructure,” the warning adds. That’s the memo.

“The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.” Psalm 77:17 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Israel has made enormous strides over the past 4 days in exerting their will on the Iranian regime, but ‘a miss is as good as a mile’ as the old expression goes. Israel nearly has Hamas under control in Gaza, but ‘nearly’ is not the same as finished, and a war is not over until the enemy signs on the dotted line of surrender. In the midst of all this volatility, the question now being asked is will President Trump send in American B-2 bunker-busting bombers to forever neutralize the threat of a nuclear Iran? Because that’s the only way to get rid of their heavily-fortified underground nuclear sites in Iran. But if the US does do that, will Russia, China and North Korea step in as well? At the moment, the USS Nimitz is on it’s way to the region, and things could get real wild real quick. On the episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we bring you all the major updates from the Middle East, Europe and North America as they relate to end times Bible prophecy.
