President Donald Trump says that Iran has but days to “reach a deal” ──
20/02/2026Trump warns of ‘bad things’ if Iran does not reach a deal with USTrump has warned Tehran it has days to reach a deal on its nuclear program as the US continues massing forces, Iran drills with Russia, and Europe fears an imminent regional war.US President Donald Trump said Thursday he believes 10 to 15 days is “enough time” for Iran to reach a deal, as Washington seeks Tehran to pledge an end to its nuclear program.Trump’s latest threat comes as the second US aircraft carrier, its largest, nears the region amid a massive military buildup of US forces in the region.“It’s proven to be, over the years, not easy to make a meaningful deal with Iran, and we have to make a meaningful deal. Otherwise, bad things happen,” Trump said Thursday.According to the New York-based Soufan Center think tank, “This week, another 50 US combat aircraft — F-35s, F-22s, and F-16s — were ordered to the region, supplementing the hundreds deployed to bases in the Arab Gulf states.”“The deployments reinforce Trump’s threat — restated on a nearly daily basis — to proceed with a major air and missile campaign on the regime if talks fail.”Meanwhile, Iran on Thursday held annual military drills with Russia in a move that signaled Tehran would fight back if talks on its nuclear program fizzle out.
Indeed, rightly-so, the Islamic Republic of Iran is gravely concerned! The number one terrorist sponsoring nation best listen up and capitulate!
Jan. 22, 2024Why Iran Doesn’t Want a War (Opinion) …For years, Iran has provided funding, arms or training to Hamas and Hezbollah, which are fighting Israel, and to the Houthis, who have been attacking ships in the Red Sea. Iran has also launched its own strikes in recent days in retaliation for a deadly bombing earlier this month, claiming to target Israeli spy headquarters in Iraq and the Islamic State in Syria. It has also exchanged strikes with Pakistan across their shared border.While Iran is clearly asserting its military strength amid the widening regional turmoil, that doesn’t mean its leaders want to be drawn into a wider war. … The regime appears to be content for now to lean into its longtime strategy of proxy warfare …At the heart of Iran’s aversion to a major conflict are the domestic issues that have been preoccupying the regime. The elderly supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is seeking to secure his legacy — by overcoming political headwinds to install a like-minded successor, pursuing a nuclear weapon and ensuring the survival of the regime as an Islamist paladin dominating the Middle East — and that means not getting dragged into a wider war. …Ayatollah Khamenei knows his limits — and he knows the legacy he needs to secure for the revolution to survive his passing.
Last year, the Islamic Republic of Iran declared that it will NEVER bow to the Trump/Vance Administrations maximum pressure.
A war with Iran is coming! What might Iran do?
February 20, 2026How Iran could try to defend itself if the US attacksIran is staging military drills in the Strait of Hormuz, signaling readiness as tensions with the US rise. Its ballistic missiles could target regional US bases or Israel, while proxy groups — though weakened — still pose risks, especially Yemen’s Houthis. Iran also has cyber tools capable of hitting infrastructure. With multiple options, any US attack carries significant escalation risks.
Indeed, it is believed that Iran does have not only conventional weapons, but “dirty bombs,” chemical weapons, biological weapons, EMPs, as well as cyber-attack abilities. Plus, their proxy goon squads ── though weakened ── such as the Houthis and Hezbollah, and “sleeper cells” in different parts of the world to cause terror on a massive scale! So, yes, the United States of America, Israel, as well as others will be harmed by this terrorist regime vying for its survival.
The LORD God’s two-fold prophecy in Isaiah 22 references “Judah” which is the land commonly called Israel. The LORD God will soon allow Israel to be viciously attacked! And certainly, relying on her own military and Iron Dome will not be enough!
Grave death and destruction is coming to the modern nation of Israel.
Now, it should be noted that God’s living word shows us that Iran will not end up faring too well. Notice the following in these dual prophecies which does indicate at least a partial destruction before the ‘latter days.’
Book of Isaiah chapter 22 –
Verse 6 – “Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen, And Kir [at least parts of Syria today] uncovered the shield. 7) It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots, And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.”
Continuing with verses 8 & 9 – “He [Almighty God] removed the protection of JUDAH. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest; 9) You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great; …”
Grave death and destruction is coming to the modern nation of Israel.
“The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam [ancient Persia/Iran], in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 35) ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam. The foremost of their might. 36) Against Elam I will bring the four winds From the four quarters of heaven, And scatter them toward all these winds; There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go. 37) For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies And before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, My fierce anger,’ says the LORD; ‘And I will send the sword after them Until I have consumed them. 38) I will set My throne in Elam, And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the LORD.” – Jeremiah 49:34-38.
This soon coming regional war is a cause to ‘WATCH’ – cf. Mark 13:37. Again, sadly the Iron Dome will not prevent this two-fold prophecy of Isaiah chapter 22 from being fulfilled. 😢
Elam is a reference to at least some in Iran. Iran will be utterly destroyed!
In Isaiah 22:8, “Judah” is a reference to those in the land called today, Israel. The LORD God is soon going to allow Israel to be viciously attacked! Verse 9, consider “the damage to the city of David, that is was great” is a reference to the city of Jerusalem.
In this dual prophecy, there is coming a time very soon when the LORD God will take away the protection of Judah and the city of David ── Jerusalem!
It is worth keeping in mind the fact that Iran and its proxy allies could strike and cause “great damage.” Certainly, Iran will try and strike back immediately, but what of its “sleeper cells” throughout the world?
This dire soon-coming regional war in the Middle East is something that we should certainly ‘Watch!’ – Mark 13:37.
And a recent conversation with AI regarding Matthew 24:4-7 ──
“ … all of that takes place for thousands of years before it gets to verse nine?”You’re thinking about the timeline ── that all those signs in verses 4-7, the religious deception, wars and rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, are happening over millennia before we even get to verse 9 where Jesus talks about the persecution of the witnesses and them being hated by all nations. That makes perfect sense when you think about it ── those early verses could span centuries or even thousands of years of human history before the more intense tribulation period kicks in.
We are indeed in a time that our Lord Jesus Christ has called, “’ the beginning of sorrows.’” – Matthew 24:4-8. □
