Iran launches 'surprise attack' against American bases as ballistic missiles rain down over Jordan

 US and Saudi forces smashed 'multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites' in their first joint strikes of the war

Iran fired "multiple" ballistic missiles at American forces in the Middle East overnight in what the US military described as "an attempted surprise attack."

The strikes took place at 10.45pm BST, though US Central Command (Centcom) did not reveal which locations were targeted. It later emerged the strikes had targeted a US base in Jordan.

All missiles were "successfully intercepted," Centcom said - before US and Saudi Arabian forces smashed "multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites" in Iraq. Centcom said the retaliatory action was "a strong response to over 30 IRGC-directed aerial drone attacks in the last 72 hours".

Earlier on Tuesday, Saudi Arabia had shot down drones aimed at petroleum facilities in its eastern region. It said the attacks were "once again launched from Iraqi territory and carried out by Iran-affiliated terrorist militias".

Saudi Arabia joins US in strikes on Iran-backed militias in Iraq

 Saudi Arabia and the US have carried out strikes against Iran-backed militias in Iraq, in a potential escalation of the Middle East conflict.

US Central Command (Centcom) said the strikes were against "Iran-aligned terrorists that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directed to attack US forces and Saudi energy infrastructure".

Iraq's paramilitary Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), which is dominated by Iran-backed Shia militias, said at least 20 of its members had been killed in US-Saudi strikes on its bases.

It came hours after Centcom said Iran had launched missiles at US forces in the Middle East in an "attempted surprise attack", ending a lull in hostilities.

The US said the Iranian attack occurred at 17:45 EDT (21:45 GMT) on Tuesday, with all missiles "successfully intercepted".

The IRGC said the missiles had targeted a US air base and a command centre in Jordan "in response to the acts of aggression of the American child-killing army".

It also said that naval forces had struck three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz after they "ignored warnings" and sailed along what it described as an "unsafe and illegal route" through the vital Gulf waterway.

Centcom said US and Saudi fighter jets had struck "multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites across eastern Iraq in a strong response to over 30 IRGC-directed aerial drone attacks in the last 72 hours".

It called the drone attacks "unwarranted" and added that they had failed.

"The IRGC and its terrorist proxies must cease these attacks to avoid further U.S. military response," the Centcom statement said.

The Kathryn Krick Controversy Is A Warning To The Entire Church The controversy surrounding Kathryn Krick raises questions that reach far beyond one charismatic ministry. In an age of viral preachers, dramatic manifestations, claims of apostolic authority, and money linked to spiritual freedom, every Christian must know how to test leaders biblically. Genuine revival does not fear scrutiny—and no church tradition is exempt from the need for discernment. Continue Reading

Turkey’s Ottoman Revival: A Warning For Christians & Jews Turkey’s growing military reach, “Blue Homeland” doctrine, and President Erdogan’s rhetoric about Jerusalem are reviving fears of a modern Ottoman project. For Christians and Jews, this is more than geopolitical nostalgia: the history of Ottoman expansion is inseparable from the collapse of ancient Christian communities and continuing challenges to Israel’s sovereignty.

Zelensky and Netanyahu meet Trump as wars in Ukraine and Iran drag on

 President Donald Trump has held separate meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which the White House described as "positive and productive".

The two leaders were in Washington to attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, a staunch supporter of Israel and advocate for US aid to Ukraine. He died earlier this month.

Zelensky and Trump discussed Kyiv's hope that the US would help bolster its air defences.

Netanyahu, for his part, arrived at a time when US-Israel ties have been frayed by diverging views on Iran.

Ahead of the visit, Zelensky was expected to press Trump to follow through on a promise he made at this month's Nato summit to grant Ukraine a licence to produce Patriot interceptor missiles.

Ukraine has long sought American Patriot missiles, which Kyiv says could be used to defend Ukrainian cities from escalating Russian drone and ballistic missile attacks across the country.

Trump posted briefly on Truth Social that the closed-door meeting "went very well!"

World-famous Christian shrine burnt and branded 'devil in a skirt' in grim act of vandalism

 A world-famous Christian shrine in Bosnia has been burnt and daubed with the words "devil in a skirt" in a grim act of vandalism. On Tuesday, police arrested a man in connection with the arson and desecration of the Shrine of Our Lady in Medjugorje, according to Vatican News.

Bosnian authorities have yet to disclose the identity of the suspect in custody as they continue to try and establish a motive for the act. The suspect is also being probed over a string of incidents reported at the site on the same night.

Officers raced to the scene at 4.30am on July 27 after receiving reports that the statue of the Virgin Mary on Apparition Hill had been vandalised with black paint.

The words "Devil in a skirt" were seen spray-painted at the bottom of the shrine. An outdoor altar near the statue was set alight, with authorities believing a man had thrown gasoline onto the altar before setting fire to the area.

'Israeli settlers laid siege to our home': Inside a Palestinian village under weekly attack

 The large, bolted gate of the Abu Alia family compound in al-Mughayyir village held firm against the teenage settlers; its thin metal bars ringing with each blow, as they smashed it again and again with their clubs.

But the insults hurled by both sides that day passed freely through the bars.One offensive slur - almost identical in both Hebrew and Arabic - delivered with nonchalant contempt by the Israeli boys bashing at the gate; and with fear and frustration by the Palestinian man inches away from them on the other side, filming the encounter on his phone.

This gate, on the edge of al-Mughayyir, has become a weekly frontline in the battle for the occupied West Bank. And this kind of attack by settlers on Palestinian homes, a weekly routine in villages across the territory. When we arrived in al-Mughayyir that day, the confrontation at the Abu Alia compound had already begun.

The Israeli army and border police were already moving through the streets, and residents were running from their vehicles - soldiers, like settlers, are seen as the enemy here. Some young men rolled rocks into the road to block it, as the sound of gunshots cracked over the village.

On the hill above them, the local mosque was calling on people to help the family trapped by the settlers. But slipping past Israeli soldiers has become a dangerous gamble. Residents, medical workers and journalists have all been shot during Israeli military operations in the West Bank.

Netanyahu Arrives in Washington as the Iranian Regime Says ‘No Path Remains Other Than Jihad’

By Erick Stakelbeck - https://harbingersdaily.com/netanyahu-arrives-in-washington-as-iranian-regime-says-no-path-remains-other-than-jihad/

The Bibi is back. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington on Monday ahead of a crucial White House meeting with President Trump. Both men will also attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, who was a great friend and supporter of Israel.

It’s the eighth meeting between the two leaders since President Trump returned to office in January 2025, and the stakes could not be higher. After nearly two weeks of massive strikes against Iran, the US has paused military operations yet again in an attempt to negotiate with Iran’s regime. The President told Axios on Monday, “We are in very deep talks with Iran. If they don’t work out, we will go back to very strong military action… Either it goes fast or not at all.”

‘Reality Check’: The Majority of Americans Want the Trump Administration To ‘Finish the Job’ In Iran War

By Family Research Council - https://harbingersdaily.com/reality-check-the-majority-of-americans-want-the-trump-administration-to-finish-the-job-in-iran-war/

A recent survey has revealed that the majority of Americans support continuing the war in Iran. Sixty-two percent of surveyed general election voters agree with the statement “The United States must finish the job once and for all to protect the United States and our allies — which means ensuring that Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon and can no longer threaten American lives” data from Tea Party Patriots Action found.

The poll also asserted that the numbers found in the survey should be a “reality check” for the media.

“72% of Americans — including 60% of Democrats — agree that Iran cannot be allowed to exert control over the Strait of Hormuz, which is consistent with President Trump’s policy,” Tea Party Patriots Action Chairman Jenny Beth Martin told Breitbart News.

Iran and US trade strikes, shattering brief lull in fighting

 Iran has launched "multiple" ballistic missiles in an "attempted surprise attack" on American forces in the Middle East, the US military said, shattering a lull in the fighting.

The attack occurred at 17:45 EDT (21:45 GMT) on Tuesday, with all missiles "successfully intercepted", said US Central Command (Centcom), which did not disclose any locations of targets.

The US military and Saudi Arabian forces meanwhile struck "Iran-aligned terrorists" in Iraq in retaliation for Iran-directed drone attacks, according to Centcom.

Tehran has not yet commented. The reported crossfire would end a brief break in hostilities between the US and Iran, which was designed to bring negotiators back to the table.

The US and Saudi Arabia struck "multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites" in eastern Iraq, according to Centcom.

The US military said this was "a strong response to over 30 IRGC-directed aerial drone attacks in the last 72 hours", using an acronym for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Donald Trump Says America Is Stronger Than Ever, But The Pentagon’s Emptying Missile Stockpiles Tell A Far More Dangerous Story About The Nation’s Readiness For A Larger War

The United States may still possess the most technologically advanced military force on earth, but advanced weapons mean very little when the magazines holding them are being emptied faster than American factories can refill them. That is the terrifying reality behind America’s growing munitions crisis. Patriot interceptors, Tomahawk cruise missiles, air-defense weapons and long-range precision munitions can take months—or even years—to replace, yet they can be fired by the hundreds in a matter of days. America has built a military designed to win spectacular opening battles, but it is increasingly questionable whether that military has the industrial depth necessary to sustain a long and brutal war.
