Drone was downed in a cyber attack, not shot down

Iran exhibited the top-secret US stealth drone RQ-170 Sentinel captured on Sunday, Dec. 4. Its almost perfect condition confirmed Tehran’s claim that the UAV was downed by a cyber attack, meaning it was not shot down but brought in undamaged by an electronic warfare ambush.

This is a major debacle for the stealth technology the US uses in its warplanes and the drone technology developed by the US and Israel.

The state of the lost UAV refutes the US military contention that the Sentinel’s systems malfunctioned. If this had happened, it would have crashed and either been wrecked or damaged. The condition of the RQ-170 intact obliges the US and Israel to make major changes in plans for a potential strike against Iran’s nuclear program.

Earlier Thursday, debkafile reported:

The Obama administration’s decision after internal debate not to send US commando or air units into Iran to retrieve or destroy the secret RQ-170 stealth drone which fell into Iranian hands has strengthened the hands of the Israeli faction which argues the case for striking Iran’s nuclear installations without waiting for the Americans to make their move.

Senior Israeli diplomatic and security officials who followed the discussion in Washington concluded that, by failing to act, the administration has left Iran not only with the secrets of the Sentinel’s stealth coating, its sensors and cameras, but also with the data stored in its computer cells on targets marked out by the US and/or Israeli for attack.

debkafile’s military sources say that this knowledge compels the US and Israel to revise their plans of attack for aborting the Iranian nuclear program.
Like every clandestine weapons system, the RQ-170 had a self-destruct mechanism to prevent its secrets spilling out to the enemy in the event of a crash or capture. This did not happen. Tehran was able to claim the spy drone was only slightly damaged when they downed it.
The NATO spokesman claimed control was lost of the US UAV and it went missing, a common occurrence for these unmanned aircraft.
The enigmas surrounding its capture continue to pile up. How did Iran know the drone had entered its airspace? How was it caused to land? Most of all, why did the craft’s self-destruct mechanism which is programmed to activate automatically fail to work? And if it malfunctioned, why was it not activated by remote control?

Thursday, Dec. 8, The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal reported that from Sunday, Dec. 4, when Tehran announced the stealth drone’s capture, the Obama administration weighed sending special commando forces into Iran from bases in Afghanistan to bring the downed aircraft back to Afghanistan or blow it up to destroy the almost intact secret systems – either by a sneak operation or by an air strike.

Iranian officials said the drone was detected near the Iranian town of Kashmar, 200 kilometers from the Afghan border and presumably moved to a military or air base inside the country. The NYT disclosed that the special force would have used “allied agents inside Iran” to hunt down the missing aircraft, the first time Washington has admitted to support from “allied agents” operating covertly in Iran.

In the end, the paper quoted a US official as explaining that the attack option was ruled out “because of the potential it could become a larger incident.” If an assault team entered the country, the US “could be accused of an act of war” by Tehran.
The Obama administration’s internal discussion on how to handle the loss of the high-value reconnaissance drone was followed tensely in Jerusalem. The decision it took against mounting a mission to recover or destroy the top-secret Sentinel was perceived in Israel as symptomatic of a wider decision to call off the covert war America has been conducting for some months against Iran’s drive for a nuclear bomb – at least until the damage caused by RQ-170 incident is fully assessed.
A senior Israeli security official had this to say: “Everything that’s happened around the RQ-170 shows that when it comes to Iran and its nuclear program, the Obama administration and Israel have different objectives. On this issue, each country needs to go its own way.” source – DEBKA

Iran Closes Airspace In Move That Signals An Attack By Either Israel Or The United States May Be Imminent

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Many European nations as well as the United States have issued an ‘urgent warning’ for their citizens to leave Iran immediately as airspace is closed tight

The world is holding its collective breath right now, waiting for a strike on the imperiled Iranian regime that nearly all outlets say could happen at any moment. The Middle East has literally closed its doors, with as many foreign nations evacuated as possible. Donald Trump has promised the US would strike if they killed their citizens, and with the death toll now over 12,000, the moment of truth has arrived. Will he or won’t he?

“And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.” Daniel 5:25 (KJB)

Everywhere around the world you look right now, nearly all of it seems to be up for grabs and in motion, and one man is there in the middle of it as perhaps the greatest change agent that exists in politics right now. Steve Bannon calls Donald Trump ‘the Disrupter’, and very few could successfully argue against that. Everywhere he goes and everything he touches becomes hyper-polarized and infused with chaos and turmoil. While the world waits to see what he will do in Iran, Europe is already planning to withstand him in Greenland. The world is indeed realigning itself right now, with the pieces being moved around to prepare for the arrival of the soon-coming 7-year kingdom, and the man who will run it.

Iran closes airspace as Western military official says signals show US attack ‘imminent’

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Iran has issued a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) late on Wednesday night, closing its airspace to all flights, as Western military officials say US military action in the country is “imminent.” Flight tracker websites showed the airspace over Iran and Iraq emptying rapidly prior to the NOTAM’s issuing. The advisory is valid for a little more than two hours, Flightradar24 said.

“All the signals are that a US attack is imminent, but that is also how this administration behaves to keep everyone on their toes. Unpredictability is part of the strategy,” a Western military official told Reuters later on Wednesday.

Shortly before the NOTAM was issued, US President Trump held a press conference in which he said he was told that the killings in Iran had stopped. When asked if the US was still considering military action, Trump answered, “We’re going to watch and see what the process is.”

Both Poland and Italy have urged their citizens to leave Iran immediately. The British embassy in Tehran has been temporarily closed. Less than 24 hours before, the US had urged its own citizens to leave.  The US has also withdrawn military personnel from the US military’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. READ MORE

A US military strike on Iran is imminent, officials have warned as the world is waiting with bated breath amid fears the first protester has already been executed. American troops and staff have started withdrawing from key military bases across the Middle East as tensions escalate in the region.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Placed On The Highest State Of Alert As Massive Protests In Iran Cause Activation Of Underground ‘Missile Cities’

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Iran is teetering on the brink of collapse with a massive internet blackout sparking fears of a “massacre” and the regime’s “missile cities” on alert.

Iran right now is a nation on the brink of violent regime change as a frustrated people tired of authoritarian rule combined with a terrible economy have taken to rioting in the streets. This is not the first time this has happened in recent years to the terror-supporting state, but this time it looks like it just may happen. But it’s hard to get a true read on what’s going on inside their borders as their internet has been unplugged, making it very hard to get information to the outside world.

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.” Jeremiah 49:35 (KJB)

You read many times in your King James Bible about a man named Elam, a son of Shem, whose descendants became the Elamites, and we follow them from Genesis all through the prophets, and right up to the day of Pentecost in Acts 2. According to Isaiah and Jeremiah, both Elam and the Elamites will play a big role at the Second Advent. Where is Elam, you ask? It’s in Iran. In Bible prophecy, the region of Elam – Persia – Iran, different names for the same place, plays a huge role. This is why we keep a closer eye on Iran and Iraq than we do the other Muslim nations, these are the ‘hot spots’ in prophecy. Iran at this moment is rapidly reaching the boiling point of a revolution that now only needs the arrival of a charismatic leader to push it over the edge.

Iran activates ‘missile cities’ over ‘Death to Dictator’ uprising as regime’s blackout sparks fear of ‘massacre’

FROM THE SUN US: As Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei barely clings to power, Donald Trump has warned the US “will get involved” if the mullah regime uses violence to crack down on demonstrators. At least 65 people including nine children have reportedly died amid the carnage which kicked off on December 28 and now marks the greatest challenge the Islamic regime has faced in years. Over 2,300 protesters have also been arrested with the violent demonstrations entering the two-week mark.

As Iranians took to the streets for the 14th consecutive day on Friday they were heard chanting anti-government slogans including: “Death to Khamenei!”

Hundreds of towns including the capital have been plunged into total anarchy – with shocking footage showing streets up in flames and swarms of locals destroying buildings. Trembling authorities have used tear gas to disperse large crowds of furious locals, while US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency has reported gunfire across the country. Iran’s prosecutor-general Mohammad Movahedi Azad warned on Saturday that all protesters would face the death penalty, as he vowed to charge “rioters and terrorists” as “enemies of god”. Top Ayatollah crony and Tehran’s chief prosecutor Ali Salehi has also vowed to use the death penalty on some if they commit acts of vandalism.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been placed on the highest state of alert and authorities have activated “missile cities” – vast underground complexes packed with ballistic missiles. “We’ll be hitting them very hard where it hurts.”

Threatening to punish the mullahs if they killed protesters, the US president said: “You better not start shooting because we’ll start shooting too.” On Saturday Iran’s army urged citizens to stay alert to thwart what it called “enemy plots” in a desperate bid to blame other countries including the US for the national outrage.

The Ayatollah’s teetering regime has cut off all internet across Iran and plunged the nation into a near total communications blackout. Fears are now mounting that the Islamic Republic is cloaking a bloody crackdown. Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi said the mullahs may be planning a “massacre under the cover of a sweeping communications blackout”. READ MORE

Iranians took to the streets in new protests to press the biggest movement against the Islamic republic in more than three years, as authorities sustained an internet blackout as part of a crackdown that has left dozens dead. Protests have taken place across Iran for 13 days in a movement sparked by anger over the rising cost of living, with growing calls for the end of the clerical system that has ruled Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution, which ousted the pro-Western shah.

Donald Trump Begins To Implement The International Stabilization Force To Rebuild Gaza And He’s Putting Foreign Troops Like Turkey On Israel’s Border

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Trump’s Gaza Peace Place is creating an International Stabilization Force that will put foreign troops on Israel border

A few weeks ago, we told you about the unanimous vote at the UN Security Council greenlighting the Trump ‘Board of Peace’ plan to rebuild Gaza after the war with Israel. Then last week we told you how it’s expected to begin right around Christmas of this year. It was at this point that things took a noticeable turn for the worse. In this Phase II, Trump has compiled a 10-nation confederacy to assist him in this task, creating an International Stabilization Force (ISF) made up of some heavyweight enemies of Israel like Turkey. What could go wrong?

“For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.” Psalm 83:2 (KJB)

Let’s be blunt, shall we? Once foreign troops enter Gaza, they are on Israel’s doorstep, positioned literally yards from Israeli towns. No matter their insignia, no matter the color of their helmets, those forces answer to international governments, not to the IDF.

Israel would suddenly find herself under the watchful eye of:

  • NATO generals hostile to Israeli policies,
  • Arab states with their own agendas,
  • EU bureaucrats eager to carve up the Middle East, and
  • United Nations officials who have condemned Israel more than every other nation on earth combined.
  • Call it what you want, but a force like that is not neutral.

Once in place, it becomes nearly impossible for Israel to remove, and this is where the true danger lies. So you can look at Trump’s Peace Plan in one of two ways. Either this is a great plan and the great friend of Israel Donald Trump will use the might of the United States to rebuild Gaza and bring peace to the region, a blessing for Israel – or – the International Stabilization Force he’s putting together to form a concrete ring about the Jewish state made up of mostly her enemies. A permanent force of international troops on Israel’s border is right out of Bible prophecy.

“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.” Luke 21:20 (KJB)

A multinational force in Gaza sets a deadly precedent: the idea that the world has the right — even the responsibility — to intervene in and administer parts of Israel’s biblical inheritance.

Once accepted in Gaza, the same logic will be applied to:

  • Jerusalem’s Old City
  • the Temple Mount
  • Judea and Samaria

This mirrors the prophetic warnings of Zechariah:

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.” Zechariah 12:2 (KJB)

The ISF is the camel’s nose under the tent — the first step toward “internationalizing” the holiest ground on earth. The nations are gathering, the pressure is mounting, and the stage is being set exactly as the scriptures have foretold.

The architects pushing this international force have already revealed their long game. The ISF is not simply about Gaza. It is about creating a mechanism through which the world can force Israel into a political settlement she does not want and should never accept.

The ISF allows diplomats to say:

  • “We control Gaza now. You must negotiate borders.”
  • “We administer security. You must divide Jerusalem.”
  • “We oversee reconstruction. You must accept a Palestinian state.”

Once the world plants its flag in Gaza, they will not stop until they plant it in Jerusalem, and according to the Bible, thus saith the Lord.

“I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Joel 3:2 (KJB)
