The Trump administration has launched the biggest propaganda blitz since Joseph Goebbels in WWII to convince you that the war with Iran is going great, it’s not

As Donald Trump’s war with Iran continues to spiral out of control, Washington has launched a massive propaganda blitz that is right out of Joseph Goebbels’s propaganda playbook telling you that the war is one, all is well, we are living in a Golden Age of unprecedented peace and prosperity. Nothing could be further from the truth. Putin is making billions in oil sales, 6 more US soldiers were killed yesterday, and Iran is not even close to regime change or surrender.

“Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.” Psalm 96:13 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, take a look at the headlines and all of it ranges from bad, to worse, to I don’t even want to think about it. Peter Theil is in Rome preaching about the coming Antichrist, GDP is down to just 0.7% while core inflation has risen to 3.1%, attacks on Jews in America are escalating, gas is at $4.00, Putin is making billions in Trump-approved oil sales, and just for fun, 2026 has 3 Friday the 13th’s one of which is today. Do you know what happened on this exact day and date 6 years ago? Trump declared a national emergency with the COVID Pandemic. We told you 6 years ago all this was not going to end, and it hasn’t. Now, if this was happening under Barack Obama, you’d know exactly what was going on, if this was happening under Joe Biden, you’d know exactly what was going on. But since it’s happening under Donald Trump, you are confused and uncertain what you’re looking at. Why is that? Did you suddenly lose all discernment because you’d rather have a Golden Age than the Pretrib Rapture? Ouch. Today we pull back the curtain on the greatest propaganda campaign since the Ministry of Propaganda and Enlightenment was created in WWII, and show you the truth of what our government is actually telling us. What you do with that information is up to you. If you are a Q-bot or a MAGA disciple, you might want to sit this one out.

The news that U.S. Central Command has lost a KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft over western Iraq is not just another military headline

CENTCOM confirmed that two aircraft were involved in the incident, with one KC-135 Stratotanker going down in friendly airspace while the other landed safely, and rescue operations are ongoing. Officials say the crash was not the result of hostile or friendly fire, but the timing is impossible to ignore. It is another reminder that the war now unfolding against Iran is already extracting a price in American lives and equipment — and the cost is climbing.

“No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:4 (KJB)

This tanker went down in the middle of Operation Epic Fury, the ongoing U.S. military campaign against Iran that has already seen thousands of strikes across the region. And the war has already produced American casualties. In the opening days of the conflict, Iranian missile and drone strikes targeted U.S. forces across the Middle East. A drone attack on a U.S. position in Kuwait alone killed multiple American soldiers, with additional service members later dying from their wounds or other incidents connected to the deployment.

FROM THE US CENTRAL COMMAND: At approximately 2 pm ET on March 12, a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft went down in western Iraq. All six crew members on board the aircraft have been confirmed deceased as rescue efforts continue. source

The toll has now reached at least eight American service members dead, with nearly 200 more wounded. If the crew of the KC-135 Stratotanker is not rescued, that will bring the death toll to anywhere between 11-14 soldiers since the war began.

These are not abstract numbers. They are:

• sons
• daughters
• husbands
• fathers
• mothers

They are young Americans who left home believing they were serving their country, and now their families are burying them. War always comes with speeches about strategy and national security, but for the families receiving folded flags at Dover Air Force Base, the cost is painfully personal.

The conflict is expanding rapidly. U.S. forces have already conducted thousands of strikes against Iranian targets, and regional tensions are exploding from Lebanon to the Persian Gulf. Oil prices are surging, the Strait of Hormuz is under threat, and global markets are already reacting to the instability.

Meanwhile, the United States is burning through aircraft hours, munitions, and billions of dollars. In the first week alone, the war has already cost over $11 billion, and now another aircraft is gone. A KC-135 Stratotanker tanker is not just another airplane. It is a flying gas station, essential to keeping fighters and bombers in the air. Without tankers, modern air warfare stops. When one of them is suddenly lost in the middle of a major air campaign, it shows how intense the operational tempo has already become.

For now, Washington insists the war is going well. But history teaches a sobering lesson: wars are easy to start and hard to control. Every new headline — a drone strike, a missile attack, a downed aircraft — tells the same story. The price is rising. First came the missile strikes. then the first American casualties, now the loss of a refueling aircraft over Iraq with possible the entire crew lost. And the question hanging over everything is the same one nations have faced for thousands of years: How much will this war ultimately cost before it is finished? Because war always collects its payment made in blood, in treasure, and in consequences that often last long after the shooting stops.

Rescue efforts underway after US KC-135 Stratotanker lost over Iraq

“US Central Command is aware of the loss of a US KC-135 refueling aircraft. The incident occurred in friendly airspace during Operation Epic Fury, and rescue efforts are ongoing,” CENTCOM said. “Two aircraft were involved in the incident. One of the aircraft went down in western Iraq, and the second landed safely. “This was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.”

From The Mysterious Drone Sightings Over New Jersey In 2024 To Today’s California Warnings, The Iranian ‘Mothership’ Story Has Returned but with a twist

In December of 2024, a strange story began circulating about mysterious drones flying over New Jersey. Soon after, a claim surfaced that Iran had positioned a “mothership” off the East Coast launching drones toward the United States. The story spread quickly, the headlines ran with it, and social media exploded. But within days the Pentagon flatly denied it, satellite imagery showed Iranian drone ships still sitting near Iran, and the entire narrative quietly faded away. Fast forward to today and suddenly the same storyline is back — except now it is being discussed in connection with a potential Iranian drone attack on California from a vessel offshore which is quite real.

“And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.” Zechariah 5:2 (KJB)

At first glance it sounds like the same rumor recycled again. But the reality is more complicated than that. The difference today is that the concept of a drone mothership is no longer theoretical. Iran actually built them. Over the past two years, Iran has begun converting large commercial container ships into floating drone bases capable of launching unmanned aircraft far from its own shores. One of the most notable examples is the Iranian naval vessel IRIS Shahid Bagheri, a converted container ship outfitted with a drone runway, helicopter facilities, missiles, and electronic warfare systems. In essence, Iran cannot build a traditional aircraft carrier, so it built something cheaper and far more unconventional — a drone carrier.

These ships are designed to stay at sea for extended periods and launch surveillance drones or strike drones hundreds of miles from the launch point. In military terms, this is called power projection, and it allows a nation with limited conventional naval power to extend its reach across entire oceans. So when intelligence analysts talk about the possibility of drones being launched from a vessel offshore, they are not inventing science fiction. The technology exists, but that does not mean the rumors are automatically true.

The United States monitors the world’s oceans with satellites, radar systems, and naval patrols. A large vessel approaching the American coastline would not go unnoticed, and drones entering U.S. airspace would trigger multiple detection systems. In other words, launching a drone attack on the U.S. mainland from offshore would be extremely risky and difficult to pull off without detection. That is why the 2024 New Jersey story collapsed so quickly, there was simply no evidence to support it. But that was then, and this is now

However, today’s discussion is emerging in a very different context. The United States and Iran are now engaged in open conflict following a series of strikes earlier this year. During the first hours of that war, U.S. forces reportedly targeted Iranian naval assets including one of the country’s drone-carrier ships. This is important because it reveals how seriously the military views these platforms. A floating drone base capable of launching swarms of unmanned aircraft is not just a curiosity — it is a strategic weapon. And that brings us to the bigger picture.

The development of drone carriers is part of a much larger transformation happening in warfare. Nations like China, Turkey, and Iran are experimenting with new ways to launch large numbers of inexpensive drones from ships, potentially overwhelming traditional defenses. Instead of a handful of expensive fighter jets, the future battlefield may involve hundreds of autonomous drones launched from sea-based platforms.

For now, reports of Iranian drones attacking California remain unverified intelligence warnings rather than confirmed threats. Officials have said there is no evidence of an imminent attack. But the fact that such scenarios are even being discussed shows how quickly modern warfare is changing. And if there is one lesson from both the New Jersey incident and the current California warning, it is this: rumors can spread faster than facts, but real military technology often lies somewhere underneath the noise. The challenge is separating speculation from reality before the next headline turns into the next panic. History has shown that the fog of war produces plenty of both.
