Yemen Hit Hard by Israel

The Houthis just found out it is costly to harm Israel. The entire port of Hudeyda is burning. In my opinion, this is a good start, but Israel should continue to pound Yemeni government buildings, bridges, ports, airports and other critical infrastructure.

Barbarians only understand force. Force is the language you must speak to them in, if you want to be understood.

My erstwhile field producer and cameraman Dennis Azato has accompanied me on ten years of adventures across the globe. Today he joins me in Ukraine and we spend some time remembering our many trips together.

Episode 622 - Field Producer Dennis Azato and Chuck Reminisce

@ChuckHolton I certainly hope I can be on the call later today. In case I can’t, I want to share a few thoughts (discussion welcomed in comments) about the crazy nut job that was just nominated by the Democrats in NYC as their candidate for the 2025 mayoral race. This man has called for “global intifada” which, in my opinion, may be a call for sleeper cells to activate here in the US and possibly abroad. More alarming is that people just aren’t stopping to think about what this man stands for! This is a dangerous commentary on the lack of ability of the voting citizens in NYC, and I’m sure other blue cities, to truly make intelligent choices and not fall for rhetoric spewing from our elected officials and the state-controlled, mainstream/legacy media.

This highlights the HUGE divide in NY, probably the deepest anywhere in the US, with NYC, a small area around Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, and to a lesser extent Syracuse, being dark blue, whereas 90% of the remaining area of New...

Hey Chuck, I'm not sure I'll make it to the live tomorrow morning but wanted to give you a head's up on something developing in Coeur d'Alene that smacks of being an activated sleeper cell. Local firefighters were responding tonight to a brush fire on Canfield Mountain and at least three were shot, one is in surgery and two were killed. Hikers were alerted to evacuate and as of yet they've been unable to put out the fire because the shooters (yes, they believe there is more than one) are still at large. It has burned 20 acres so far. The local sherriff's department is now saying it's clear this is arson and the intent was to ambush the fire fighters. It sure fits the profile of something a sleeper cell would do to cause fear in a community.

Sounds like some shenanigans are happening in Idaho, Chuck! Firefighters ambushed, multiple shooters suspected. 4 dead
Could this be Iran's response?

The Iran Threat: It Hasn’t Gone Away

It’s a quiet, sunny day in West Virginia. Birds are chirping, dogs are lounging on the porch, and from the outside, everything feels normal. But behind the scenes, a storm is brewing—one that isn’t coming with tanks or missiles, but with fake IDs, drones, and sleeper cells.

If you’ve been following the news beyond the headlines, you know the threats we’re facing aren’t over—they’ve just changed shape.

Over the past week, ICE and the FBI arrested more than 130 Iranians inside the U.S. Eleven of them had known links to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and one of them was reportedly a trained sniper. That’s not something we can just shrug off.

It’s yet another reminder that America faces real national security concerns, many of which aren’t playing out in open battlefields, but through unconventional means—asymmetric threats that can show up anywhere.

 After Fordow: What Comes Next?

If you’ve been tracking Operation Midnight Hammer, you know it wasn’t just symbolic. The U.S. hit Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility with specialized GBU-57 bunker busters—high-impact weapons developed over 15 years to target that exact site.

The Ceasefire That Wasn’t: Israel’s War Isn’t Over—It Just Went Underground

Watch the FULL video HERE

I can assure you: the war in the Middle East is not over. It may look like it on paper, but Israel’s enemies are still being hunted—and sometimes, they’re spontaneously combusting.

Let’s break down what’s really happening in Iran, Lebanon, and beyond. Because while headlines have moved on, the Mossad certainly hasn’t. And neither has Israel’s military machine.


 “Stay Away from Lawn Mowers in the Sky”

The supposed ceasefire between Iran and Israel hasn’t stopped the fireworks. Just last night, a high-rise in Tehran erupted into flames, killing three top IRGC officials. Coincidence? Not likely. Mossad’s Farsi-language social media made it very clear: stay away from IRGC leadership and military assets if you value your life.

The message wasn’t cryptic—it was a public warning. Israel’s war isn’t with the Iranian people. It’s with the regime. And they’re not hiding their intent.

Mossad’s operations in Iran over the past two weeks read like a spy thriller:

  • Pre-placed sabotage kits disabling missile launchers

  • Magnetic IEDs and suppressed weapons used for assassinations in crowded urban areas

  • AI-guided drones using laser designators and GPS transponders

  • Sniper hits via satellite uplink—yes, that technology exists

Iran isn’t just compromised. It’s perforated. Mossad reportedly has agents embedded in Iranian society—locals with Persian wives and day jobs—living double lives in plain sight.

 

 


Operation Midnight Hammer: The Fordow Strike

Perhaps the most defining moment of this conflict came when U.S. B2 bombers dropped six GBU-57 bunker buster bombs on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility. Critics in the press claimed the damage was minimal. But according to the Trump administration—and the DTRA officers who spent 15 years preparing for that strike—it was a major success.

Imagine working in secret for 15 years, studying a single target, developing a custom weapon for it, and then watching your mission succeed in one thunderous night.

The result? Over 20,000 centrifuges destroyed—not by collapsing tunnels, but by precisely targeted overpressure waves ripping through underground facilities.

Make no mistake: this wasn’t just a military victory. It was a statement. And it’s sent shockwaves through the regime.


 Israel Isn’t Finished

Even during the “ceasefire,” Israeli forces continue:

  • Launching airstrikes in Lebanon against Hezbollah weapons storage

  • Crossing the border on foot to neutralize underground facilities

  • Monitoring Yemen, where the Houthis continue to launch missiles (unsuccessfully, thanks to allied defenses)

And let’s not forget the role of Jordan, who shot down over 300 missiles and drones meant for Israel. Or the THAAD missile batteries—39 intercepts in one barrage alone. The scale and precision of these defensive operations are astounding.

Israel has dropped over 1,200 precision munitions during this 12-day war. And as their spokesman declared: “We are not done.”


 Hezbollah’s Cracks Are Showing

For years, Hezbollah silenced dissent in Lebanon with fear and violence. But that grip is slipping. A powerful moment on Lebanese television featured a local anchor passionately calling for Hezbollah to “leave us,” condemning their ties to Iran and the devastation they bring.

This is a seismic cultural shift. Lebanese citizens, once afraid to speak out, are beginning to publicly denounce the so-called “resistance.” They’re tired of being pawns in Iran’s regional game. And they’re ready for peace.


🛑 The Attack on Christians in Syria

Meanwhile, Syria’s Christians are under siege. Last Sunday, a suicide bomber targeted St. Elias Church in Damascus, killing 25 and wounding over 50. The attacker was reportedly linked to remnants of ISIS—a stark reminder that terror hasn’t disappeared. It’s metastasizing.

Despite claims that ISIS was “defeated,” thousands of fighters remain in Syria, many in camps. Now, with the U.S. withdrawing and the al-Sharah regime consolidating power, there’s fear that these camps could be emptied, unleashing tens of thousands of radicals once again.


 Propaganda and Press Games

Back at home, the media is doing what it does best: spinning and distracting. At a recent press conference, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth lambasted reporters for caring more about political correctness than national security.

When asked why he only referred to “our boys in bombers,” Hegseth refused to play identity politics:

“I don’t care what your plumbing is. I care that you can fly the aircraft and hit the target.”

Refreshing honesty. And absolutely necessary.

 

 


 What Comes Next?

Iran's regime is weakened, not dead. Its leader, Khamenei, is reportedly in hiding, disconnected from real-time decisions. Mossad has him on their hit list—but with 10,000 clerics in line, true regime change will require more than a drone strike. It will need internal revolution.

And that’s where hope lies. With Iranians willing to rise up. With Lebanese voices growing louder. With Christians surviving in the shadows of chaos.


 A Closing Prayer

In the final moments of our broadcast, we took a moment to pray. For peace. For the brokenhearted. For the innocent.

Because no matter how advanced the bombs, no matter how accurate the strikes—real victory will only come through justice, truth, and the hand of God.
