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.

Thank you for being part of this community. Stay informed. Stay bold. And keep the faith.

The last 24 hours have been nothing short of chaos. Ceasefire? Not really. Victory? Not quite. Clarity? Nowhere to be found.

Let’s cut through the noise.

President Trump, apparently eager to bring closure to the latest round of fighting between Israel and Iran, unilaterally announced a ceasefire—without a clear agreement from either side. Iran immediately denied it. Israel kept bombing. And the “peace” Trump declared lasted barely long enough for a headline.

It’s no surprise that many of us are left scratching our heads. What just happened?

Iran’s Empty Theater, Israel’s Real War

Iran’s retaliatory strike after U.S. bombers hit their nuclear facilities was a limp attempt at saving face. Everyone—from Qatar to Fox News—knew the missiles were coming. The U.S. had cleared its personnel from Al-Udeid Air Base in advance. When the missiles finally fell, only one even landed, and it hit open ground. Iran claimed a crushing blow. The rest of us saw a bad performance.

Israel, by contrast, responded with real force. Their jets struck deep into Iran, taking out key military and nuclear infrastructure. They eliminated senior IRGC personnel and wiped out launchers poised to strike again. And then—just before the ceasefire clock started ticking—they dropped one final payload on Tehran. A precision strike. Military targets only.

Trump’s Peace Prize Problem

Now here’s where things get strange.

Trump’s ceasefire announcement felt more like a press release for a Nobel Peace Prize nomination than an actual foreign policy maneuver. It was sudden. It was confusing. And it ignored the fact that Israel had no reason to stop fighting while it held the upper hand.

Iran needed that ceasefire. Trump wanted it. Israel didn’t. Yet somehow, Israel agreed—grudgingly—after stating they had achieved most of their military objectives.

But what did we really gain?
