- “Many times they have attacked me from my youth up,” let Israel say. “Many times they have attacked me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me . . .May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! May they be like grass upon the housetops which withers before it grows up” (Psalm 129)
- “I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were consumed. I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise! They fell under my feet” (Psalm 18:37-38)
At 02:49 am Jerusalem time this morning, the first reports hit the internet. Approximately 200 Israeli Air Force (IAF) planes were heard as they crossed Iraqi airspace on their way to attack nuclear bomb factories, nuclear reactors, missile bases, military command and control centers in Iran. Within approximately ten minutes, nearly the entire Iranian High Command was wiped out. This included:
- Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), probably the world’s top terror mastermind. Just yesterday he declared: “Our next confrontation with the Israelis will be far more crushing, devastating, and destructive.”
- Gholam-Ali Rashid, head of IRGC Central Command, deputy chief of staff of the Iranian military
- Amir Ali Hajizadeh, chief of IRGC Aerospace Force/ Airforce
- Mohammad Bagheri, Iranian Chief of Staff
- Ali Shamkhani (severely wounded) member of the Expediency Discernment Council and political advisor of Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei since May 2023
- Ali Akbar Ahmadian, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Council
- More than 10 top nuclear scientists in charge of Iran’s nuclear weapons program including: Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi
Military and nuclear targets hit include:
- Natanz nuclear facility (Iran’s main uranium enrichment facility)
- Arak (Arak Nuclear Complex houses a heavy water experimental reactor [now named ‘Khondab Heavy Water Research Reactor’] and a heavy water production plant)
- Parchin military nuclear complex
- Fordow underground uranium enrichment facility (containing over 2, centrifuges, built under a mountain)
- Khorramabad underground nuclear development site and missile base
- Tabriz (missile base and oil refineries)
- Isfahan – the primary location for Iran’s secret nuclear weapon development program. Includes Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center (INTC), the Isfahan Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF), the Isfahan Fuel Manufacturing Plant (FMP), the Isfahan Fuel Element Cladding Plant, the Isfahan Nuclear Fuel Research and Production Center (NFRPC), and the Isfahan Nuclear Waste Storage Facility
- Kermanshah (underground missile bases)
- Qom (the spiritual center on Iran’s Ayatollahs and home to underground missile bases)
- strategic sites in Tehran connected to IRGC, military and state leadership
- Oil refineries
- strategic Iranian radar installations
Today Mossad teams have been carrying out counterintelligence operations (aka targeted assassinations) in Iran. As well, at least thirteen Iranian fighter jets have been downed in dogfights with IAF fighters. Over 100 targets were hit by the IAF at time of publishing.
The trigger for this chain of events was yesterday’s historic IAEA Board of Governors resolution – passed by 19 out of 35 members – formally declaring Iran in breach of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and paving the way for possible referral to the United Nations Security Council. The latest IAEA report concluded that Iran has enriched uranium up to 60% purity, nearing weapons-grade, with stockpiles now large enough to build nine nuclear bombs – a capability that radically shifts the regional balance of power. Israel’s Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and also Israel’s Prime Minister have gone on record today that Iran’s military is currently constructing at least 9 nuclear bombs, with delivery date only a few weeks from today. The attack, Zamir said, was “an immediate operational necessity to remove the strategic threat and ensure our future.”
Clash with the Prince of Persia
- “Contend, YHVH, with those who contend with me! Fight against those who fight against me!” (Psalm 35:1)
- “For the music director. A Psalm of David. A Song. May God arise, may His enemies be scattered, and may those who hate Him flee from His presence” (Psalm 68:1)
- “May He also rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth. May the nomads of the desert bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust” (Psalm 72:8-9)
Iran has launched 100 attack drones as an initial response to Israel’s pre-emptive strike. In an amazing indication of God’s grace, IAF fighter jets took to the air and shot down these drones (many over Syria) before they could arrive in Israeli airspace. American jets were involved in that interdiction and, while British jets took off from Cyprus, they stayed clear of the Iranian drones. Iran still has over 2,000 missiles which can reach Israeli military and civilian targets . These could cause serious damage. You are invited to stand with the sons and daughters of Jacob at this challenging moment, and to pray with a full heart for the defeat of Israel’s enemies, which Psalm 83:1-5 says are also God’s enemies.
An intercessory prayer and meditation:
- “The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, among many peoples like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep – which, if he passes through, tramples and tears, and there is no one who can rescue. Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries, and all your enemies will be eliminate” (Micah 5:8-9)
Israel’s IDF has named this operation/war ‘Am k’lavi) – ‘the people like a lion.’ This is taken from Numbers 23:24 (KJV), where Israel’s military victory over her enemies is poetically described by Balaam as that of a young lion, as he prophesies by the Holy Spirit:
“Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain!”
How shall we then pray?
- Pray that Iranian jihadi plans to destroy Israel and cause great casualties will be nullified
- Pray for the raising up of Ezekiel’s prophetic Jewish army throughout the earth
Your prayers and support hold up our arms and are the very practical enablement of God to us in the work He has called us to do.
In Messiah Yeshua,
