Military Buildup Around Iran
From Resurrection Life of Jesus Church
The US has been building up military assets in the CENTCOM command area of responsibility preparing for a series of coordinated strikes on Iran. Anytime you see this much firepower sent to one area you can rest assured that a series of strikes are imminent.
In addition to sending two carriers, the USS Gerald R Ford and the USS Abraham Lincoln to the region it is reported a third may be on the way as the USS George H. W. Bush has been released from training and is underway in the Atlantic reportedly heading toward the region.
Fighter jets and air tankers have been staging the area for weeks and a new air operations defense center has been opened in the Al Udeid Air Base outside Doha. The US calls this regional defense cooperation but publicly none of the Emirate states or Saudis Arabia want the US to strike Iran as their easily targeted oil infrastructure could be targets by Iran’s sophisticated missile systems.
In addition to this the US has been massing command and control aircraft into the region which would be used to track any retaliation from Iran’s missile forces and coordinate strikes.
Iran has threatened to close the straight of Hormuz which accounts for 34% of global oil trade and if this happens it will effect global oil prices and the global economies. The US obtains only a very small portion of oil through this choke point. Iran will not be able to keep the straights closed for long as most of its income depends on that route.
India, China, Europe and Asia will all be effected if the oil flow slows considerably. Trump plays a risky game in attacking Iran as it threatens his economic aspirations for the US as oil is a global commodity and the price is already rising as global traders see war coming.
Regime Change Riots
Iran has been under significant sanctions that has degraded life in Iran somewhat in addition to a recent currency manipulation that reduced the value of their currency.
There have been stories of fake protest videos generated by AI to death tolls as high as 30,000 depending on which media outlet you read. Everyone has their own spin and most outlets are controlled by various countries floating stories that are a means to justify their ends.
The Persians have been oppressed for a long time. They had a large Jewish community dating back to their exile to the region after the destruction of the first temple up unto recent times. Peter traveled there and set up a church which still stands today. Christianity spread throughout the region until the Muslims conquered the region between 633 and 651 AD and eliminated most of the Christians.
The Ottoman Empire eventually took over Persia until the region was carved up by the French and the British which has played a big role in today’s troubles. The US and Britain overthrew the last democratic government in 1953 and placed the Shah back on his throne. That lasted until 1979 when the current theocracy took over and has ruled ever since.
Iran’s population is young and tired of the mismanagement of their country and the sanctions that hurt their currency and the ability to earn income. The US and Israel has been organizing resistance through proxies for a long time. The Mossad has a large network inside Iran and has used Afghan refugees both wittingly and unwittingly to further their intelligence efforts. The Afghans live in poverty and have no rights in Iran so they are easy targets to work for a few extra dollars.
Iran has recognized this and has expelled many of these refugees. In addition they have executed many alleged Mossad operatives.
On 17 January, in a public speech, Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, said:
“thousands of people” were killed. Since then, on 21 January, Iran’s Supreme Council of National Security issued a statement that 3,117 people were killed during the uprising. However, on 16 January 2026, the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran, Mai Sato, said in a media interview that at least 5,000 people had been killed, noting that according to information she received from medical sources, the death toll might be as high as 20,000 . Due to the ongoing internet shutdown, the scale of mass killings that took place and Iranian authorities’ well-documented pattern of carrying out reprisals against families of victims who speak out, the true number of those killed is likely higher.
The ongoing internet shutdown prevents people in Iran from communicating with the outside world. This makes gathering and verifying information difficult. Verified videos and eyewitness accounts Amnesty International has been able to obtain and review, reveal security forces carrying out mass unlawful killings on an unprecedented scale amid the shutdown.
In the aftermath of the massacres on 8 to 9 January, medical facilities were overwhelmed with injured protesters, while distraught families gathered at hospitals and overflowing morgues, searching for their missing loved ones.
Talks in Geneva
The US and Iran have been holding negotiations in Geneva but it is doubtful any good will come out of that city as it is one of the seats of Lucifer’s power base on Earth. It is alleged that Iran states a there is “a clear path ahead” according to the news but this is probably just a fig leaf to keep the markets calm. Trump, on behalf of Israel, has a clear list of what Iran would consider unacceptable demands.
- Strong limits on its missile programs,
- The abolishment of Iranian support for regional allies like Hizbullah, Hamas and Shia militia in Iraq and Yemen and
- The recognition by Iran of Israel as a legitimate country.
Trump abandoned strong nuclear restraints on Iran that were agreed to and finalized on 14 July 2015 which was called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) Some say that Israel used this agreement to plant spy’s into the IEAE inspection teams to identify and kill Iran’s nuclear scientists. Operation Narnia probably used the intelligence collected to kill a number of nuclear scientist.
Israel is the only nuclear power in the region and it wants to remain the regions superpower. The United States looked the other way while Israel built its nuclear program.
In reality, Iran has little effect on the United States. It is another wholly owned problem of the Israelis like Iraq, Syria, Libya, Palestine, Hezbolla, and Hamas. Make no mistake, this attack is being planned for Israel.
We must remember the famous list of countries to be demolished in Israel’s region. Only Iran is left.
It is reported that Trump has given Iran 10-15 days to reach a deal with Washington. Similar negotiations have been stalled for years.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Mr Trump is considering an initial limited strike on military and government targets to force Iran to meet his demands for a nuclear deal. The attack would be designed to put pressure on Tehran but would fall short of a full-scale attack that could prompt a major retaliation, the report said.
Regional players
All of the Sunni nations in the region historically have not allowed their land to be used for airstrikes or air to air refueling operations against Iran like they did for the “Coalition of the Willing” during the Iraq war.
Russia and China are currently building up assets in the region and are currently holding live fire exercises and naval exercises called Maritime Security Belt 2026. China is using its intelligence assets to identify and target US assets in the region. In addition China’s military experts and intelligence agencies are working with Iran to counter the Mossad’s reach into Iran.
In addition to this it is reported that China is providing and training crews on a new radar array that can detect fifth gerneration stealth aircaft. If true this would make air operations far more dangerous. This would be the place to test this new system. China is said to be supplying Iran with their new J-10 aircraft that were reported to have perfomed well in the recent Pakistan India skirmish. It would be too soon for these to come into play.
The real question is if Israel will allow US F-35’s to use their airfields to attack Iran. We do not recall that ever happening. Our great ally in the region will probably want to protect itself from Iran’s retaliation and put this all on the US.
Britian is denying the US the use of its airfields in Diego Garcia and England. In other words, the nearest land bases the US could operate from is Israel’s airfields and it is near certain that those airfields will not be allowed either. The US cannot operate carriers in the Persian Gulf like the old days. That would be suicide with the modern weaponry available.
Iran possess the hypersonic missile capability to sink a US carrier. These missiles travel at Mach 15, over 18,000 Kilometers per Hour, and there is little one can do to stop them. All they have to do is damage the flight deck to put the carrier out of operation.
The US will be stuck launching aircraft from the Mediterranean and refueling over Syria as well as launching at a safe distance in the Arabian Sea which will decrease their capablities significantly.
The 12 Day War June 13, 2025
Israel initiated the conflict with Operation Rising Lion, a series of preemptive airstrikes targeting key Iranian nuclear facilities and military leadership on June 13, 2025. The Israeli Air Force deployed over 200 fighter jets to strike sites including Natanz, Iran’s primary uranium enrichment hub, and the fortified Fordow facility, aiming to degrade Tehran’s nuclear capabilities.
The strikes also included decapitation operations against senior Iranian commanders. According to the Alma Research and Education Center’s post-war assessment (June 25, 2025), Israel confirmed the elimination of nearly 30 senior Iranian figures between June 13–24, 2025, including at least 12 senior IRGC officials, 5 senior officers from the regular army and Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, intelligence heads from the army, IRGC, and Quds Force, as well as commanders of the Quds Force Palestine Branch and Unit 190, and at least 12 leading nuclear scientists.
Iran countered with massive barrages, firing over 550 ballistic missiles and more than 1,000 suicide drones toward Israeli population centers and military bases, aiming to overwhelm defenses through sheer volume. Israel’s multilayered missile defense architecture, including systems like Arrow and David’s Sling supplemented by US provided THAAD batteries, intercepted a significant portion of incoming threats, though some impacts occurred on airbases and civilian areas.
Iran’s retaliation against Israel was more successful than the media reported. They used their older missile stockpiles which have a higher circular error saving than the newer designs. Israel was very successful in knocking out Irans air defense systems and radar arrays to give them clear control over the air.
Israel has asked every US president over the last 25 years to bomb Iran. Trump is the only one to have complied. In a shocking claim a former CIA officer claimed Israel threatened to nuke Iran if Trump did not act on their nuclear program. If true then Trump was forced to act.
Conclusion
It took 20 years of pounding to take out Syria. Iran is larger, better armed, and is sitting on vast oil and gas reserves. China depends of Iran for 34% of its oil and has a growing naval presence in the Region. Russia has similar interests in weakening the US in the region.
Iran is a serious threat to Israel and that makes it very dangerous to the World Government. It will take a serious long term pounding to weaken the regime in Iran.
If Lucifer gets his way a large war will happen long the lines of a carrier being sunk which is likely to lead to a great bloodbath. It is rumored Trump has been told to expect 10,000 casualities if Iran hits back hard in the first rounds.
We may be heading into another decades long war of blood and treasure spent to protect Israel. The economic wreckage will dwarf anything we have seen in our lifetimes. A large portion of global oil supplies being cut will lead to global economic chaos.
At the least a great debate will occur in the country between the left and the right with elements on both sides tired of war in the post 911 debacle where many feel the wars were in the service of Israel to weaken its opponents in the region at great cost of blood and treasure to the US. Even now Congress is attempting to institute the War Powers Act to stop this coming war.
Trump’s plan will probably mirror the 12 day war that recently concluded. The destruction of infrastructure and the decapitation of Iran’s leadership and command and control functions. This could possibly allow regime change protest to be more successful. It is doubtful he will strike Iran’s oil infrastructure. Likewise Iran will probably retaliate and strike the US bases in the region that are being used to attack them and avoid hurting their neighbors oil infrastructure.
Trump is risking his legacy and the future of the country. His base did not sign on for another usless war.
The only hope the Iranian people have is if the IRGC is weakened and the military takes over the government to allow a more moderate Western orientated government to take control through new elections. If that happens then there is a good possibility that the Gospel will spread and a great harvest of souls will take place. The current government is dug in deep and this would appear unlikely in the short term.
These are very dangerous times. We need prayer now that our leaders will make wise decisions to avoid prolonged war and economic devastation. Our nation is under heavy spiritual assault from the enemy. Only prayer can overcome as this is a spiritual war more than it is physical. We see the physical effects but the causation is the spiritual war going on between the Lord of Hosts and Lucifer.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
