The Ceasefire That Wasn’t: Israel’s War Isn’t Over—It Just Went Underground
June 27, 2025

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.

Is the U.S. Training Syria’s New Jihadist Army?

Very few media outlets are talking about this, but they should be — urgently.

While most of the world is distracted, U.S. troops are conducting live training exercises in Syria with the forces of the country’s new interim government, now led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a man widely known as a former Al Qaeda affiliate.

Let that sink in.

Recent reports confirm that U.S. personnel at the Al-Tanf garrison have been training members of the so-called 70th Division, a unit formed from remnants of the Syrian Free Army, which now pledges loyalty to this new government. This comes right on the heels of a massacre of Druze civilians, allegedly carried out by those very same government-aligned forces.

Aiding the Next Generation of Jihadists?
This isn’t just a questionable policy — it could be morally catastrophic.

Druze communities, who have long sought neutrality in Syria’s civil war, were brutally attacked.

Debunked

Debunked: Following several accusations that Israel is causing famine in Gaza, COGAT has released drone footage of the hundreds of truckloads of supplies waiting to be delivered to Gaza by the UN. A statement accompanying the footage claims that 'There is enough food here to feed all of Gaza, if the UN ever came to pick it up.

Hezbollah’s Next Move: Mounting Tensions and the Shadow of a Wider War

While global attention remains fixed on the war in Gaza, another front is heating up quietly but dangerously in the north. Hezbollah, long considered Iran’s most potent proxy, is under immense pressure from both the Israeli military and the Lebanese government. Yet, despite staggering losses and degraded capabilities, the group is signaling it may be preparing for a renewed offensive.

Israel's Final Push to Crush Hamas

As I sit here in a kitchen in Vanadzor, Armenia, amidst the joyful chaos of welcoming my new grandson home, my mind is far from celebration. It’s consumed by the harsh realities of war and the disturbing narratives surrounding it.

After nearly two years of brutal fighting, Israel is preparing to fully occupy Gaza, a move it has long been accused of but has, until now, avoided. Since Israel’s withdrawal in 2005, not a single Israeli troop has remained in Gaza until now. The upcoming full-scale occupation will not only reshape the battlefield but redefine what Israel is willing to do to end the cycle of terror.

Today, I want to raise the alarm, because the next October 7-style attack may not happen in Israel, it may happen in your backyard.
