On This Week in Prophecy: Over the weekend, Iran has been under a coordinated attack. According to various outlets, Israel and the United States are suspected.
To sum up an eventful evening in #Iran, some mysterious incidents at: 1⃣ Esfahan in a MODAFL facility (confirmed) 2⃣ Azarshahr in East Azerbaijan Province (massive fire) 3⃣ Karaj and Tehran (footage circulating, unclear) 4⃣ Hamedan & Dezful (unconfirmed)https://t.co/GuNvd0gk5p
According to some reports, the air defenses of Iran's traditional army and the IRGC have been put on high alert amid a horrible fire in a factory near Tabriz (the video below) and unconfirmed reports of explosions and fires in Karaj, Tehran and Hamadan.https://t.co/WxKcN5ZtnApic.twitter.com/GSHmTkcKqS
NEW: The strike on Iran's MoD facility in Isfahan was “specific, surgical & successful”, sources with direct knowledge told me. They added the facility was connected to Iran’s missile program: “4 different areas in the building were accurately targeted & the goal was achieved"
NEW: Israeli aircraft have attacked a convoy of 25 trucks that crossed the border from Iraq to Syria through a crossing controlled by Hezbollah, according to Saudi media reports
Russia is likely to turn to Turkey for drones as their supply from Iran appears to be interrupted. These events appear to only harden the relationship between Russia and Israel.
Quakes in various places… Amidst the back drop of the explosions across Iran, a large earthquake in northwest Iran caused significant damage in both Iran and Turkey.
Iran and Russia strengthen economic ties by connecting their electronic banking systems. Both countries are looking to bypass western economic sanctions.

United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken is visiting the Middle East and Israel this week. Tensions are running high between the Israelis and the Palestinians as deaths are occurring on both sides in recent violence.
Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok of Sudan has been placed under arrest by the military. General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has broken up the transitional government. A state of emergency has been declared across the country. Hamdok’s location is unknown.
“The military has also blocked all roads and bridges leading into Khartoum city. We’ve seen soldiers blocking access and they are telling us these are the orders they got. They are saying access to Khartoum city is to be restricted, and this is raising concern because that’s where the government institutions are, that’s where the presidential palace and the prime minister’s offices are located.” -Hiba Morgan, Al-Jazeera.
⚠️ Confirmed: Internet disrupted in #Sudan amid reports of military coup and detention of Prime Minister; real-time network data show national connectivity at 34% of ordinary levels; incident ongoing 📉
President Biden has indicated $700 million in aid will be immediately frozen.
US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken issued the following statement.
“We firmly reject the dissolution of the civilian-led transitional government and its associated institutions and call for their immediate restoration. The arrest of Prime Minister Hamdok and other civilian leaders is unacceptable. The military forces must ensure their safety and release them immediately. These actions have the potential to derail the country’s transition to democracy and are a betrayal of Sudan’s peaceful revolution.”
“We are gravely concerned by reports that Sudanese security forces have used live ammunition against peaceful protesters. Security officials should immediately cease the use of violence against peaceful protesters. We also urge the restoration of Internet services.” -US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken
Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Cush and Put with them, all of them withshield and helmet…
Ezekiel states Russia, Turkey, Iran and allies are prophesied to invade Israel (Ezekiel 38-39). Arguably, Sudan may join Magog (modern day Russia) in their invasion of Israel at some point in the future.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
Scripture says “peace and security” covenants, deals, treaties (take your pick) are inevitable. These are signs of the end times scenario.
Things have been quiet on the “peace front” since Joe Biden has become President of the United States… until now.
Multiple reports are coming out of Israel and Arab news sources. The Biden Administration has reached out to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS). In September 2021, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan went to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and discussed the idea with MBS. In October, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud went to Washington to meet with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The pitch is for Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords.
Other countries appear to be lining up to possibly join the Abraham Accords. These include: The island nation of Comoros, Tunisia, Oman, Qatar, and Malaysia.
Keep in mind, Jared Kushner and his wife Ivanka were in Jerusalem last week as the Abraham Accords caucus was initiated in the Israeli Knesset.
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid was at the event and made the following statement.
“We renewed relations with Egypt, we opened embassies, we improved our relations with the US. I call upon the Palestinians, and every Arab nation that is listening: We seek peace. Peace is not a compromise or a weakness but rather an embodiment of the human spirit. Those living in the Middle East are welcome to look around and see which countries are in a better position — those who seek peace, or those who seek war.”
On July 29th, 2021, a suicide drone attacked an Israeli owned ship the Mercer Street. The attack occurred off of the coast of Oman. The oil tanker was empty. The ship was able to make it to safety with a United States Naval escort.
Various reports indicate the Shahed 136 Drone is the vehicle utilized for the attack.
Israel, along with the United Kingdom and the United States, is convinced Iran is responsible for the attack on the Mercer Street vessel. Israeli Prime Minister Bennett’s comments are noted in the tweet below. His video comments are a little over one minute and worth every second. I don’t understand Hebrew, but I do understand tone and body language. Based on Bennett’s history of a no nonsense approach to the enemies of Israel, I suspect Prime Minister Bennett means business.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, at the Cabinet meeting today: "The world recently received a reminder of Iranian aggression, this time on the high seas. The Iranians, who attacked the ship 'Mercer Street' with UAVs, intended to attack an Israeli target.https://t.co/g0BpFHJKEypic.twitter.com/Tj3zkqkBm3
The government of the United Kingdom held a special Cobra Meeting per a report from Sky News. A Cobra Meeting is held in only “serious focus” of an issue.
UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab blamed Iran and stated the event as “deliberate, targeted” assault which constituted “a clear violation of international law”.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson indicated Iran will “face up to the consequences”.
Johnson was also quoted, “This was clearly an unacceptable and outrageous attack on commercial shipping, a UK national died.”
United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken has weighed in on the events. He is confident Iran is responsible for the attack.
“We are in very close contact, in coordination, with the United Kingdom, Israel, Romania and other countries. And there will be a collective response. We have seen a series of actions taken by Iran over many months, including against shipping, so I’m not sure that this particular action is anything new or augurs anything one way or another for the new government. But what it does say is that Iran continues to act with tremendous irresponsibility.” -US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
As of Tuesday, August 3, 2021, Iran will be swearing in their new president Ebrahim Raisi. He is known as the Tehran Butcher. The name was earned as thousands of political prisoners died at the decisions of the “death committee” which he was the leader. Human rights organizations have charged Raisi with “war crimes against humanity.”
Raisi is a fundamental, conservative Shia hardliner. Previously, he was the chief justice of the Iranian judicial system.
Buckle up…
Ezekiel 38:5 Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shield and helmet…
