Huckabee: Americans Fail To Grasp The Threat Of Iran… But We Are Foolish To Ignore Them

Conflict between Iran and the U.S. has resumed, despite the efforts of President Donald Trump to secure peace in the troubled region. According to the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the U.S. military conducted “a new wave of offensive strikes against Iran” on Sunday, successfully striking “dozens” of targets. At issue is Iran’s continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for the shipment of oil globally. “The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade. Iran does not control it,” a statement from CENTCOM read. “U.S. forces are postured and prepared to ensure that freedom of navigation remains available to commercial shipping despite Iran’s continued unwarranted aggression, harassment, threats, and arbitrary declarations.”

The Battle For The Strait Of Hormuz Will Show Whether The World Can Survive Without Oil From The Persian Gulf Or Not

Now we are going to get to see what really happens to the global economy when the Strait of Hormuz is completely closed for an extended period of time. Before the war, approximately 45 percent of all Asian oil imports traveled through the Strait of Hormuz. The Chinese normally get more oil from the Middle East than anyone else, and the amount of crude oil that they have been importing has collapsed. That is not sustainable for the Chinese, and they are getting very angry. At the same time, relentless drone attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure have forced the Russians to buy gasoline from India. If the Strait of Hormuz remains completely closed for months, global energy supplies will get extremely tight and the price of oil will go into unprecedented territory.

Iran targets military bases as US launches wave of strikes

Tehran has launched fresh attacks on US military bases in neighbouring Gulf states, while Washington continued to strike sites across Iran overnight.

Tehran said it had struck targets in the region, including in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain, as a sixth day of renewed hostilities strained their preliminary deal to end the war.

Meanwhile, the US military said it inflicted a six-hour wave of strikes in multiple locations to "degrade Iran's ability to threaten innocent mariners" in the Strait of Hormuz.

The latest exchanges came after US President Donald Trump warned Iran it had "better behave" or face further military action should Iran not return to negotiations.

On Tuesday, Trump threatened to target Iran's energy infrastructure if Tehran failed to return to talks.

Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, told state media Tehran had "no reason" to abide by any agreement that did not benefit the country.

He added that Iran's national security depended on maintaining what he described as "Iranian arrangements" in the Strait of Hormuz.

In the latest attacks, the US targeted command centres, air defence sites, and coastal surveillance facilities across Iran - including in the port city of Bandar Abbas and Greater Tunb Island - US Central Command (Centcom) said.

Explosions were heard across Iran and air defences were triggered in Tehran, Iranian state media reported.

US launches fresh strikes on Iran as Trump warns Tehran it 'better behave'

The US said it had launched a fresh wave of strikes against Iran on Wednesday as President Donald Trump warned Tehran it "better behave".

The US military said "Iranian military capabilities used to threaten vessels" moving through the Strait of Hormuz had been targeted. Air defences also sounded in the capital Tehran, according to state media.

Iran meanwhile said it had struck US military targets in the region, including in Bahrain and Kuwait, as a fifth day of renewed hostilities strained their preliminary deal to end the war.

Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, told state media Tehran had "no reason" to abide by the deal if it did not benefit from it.

Trump had threatened late on Tuesday to attack bridges and power plants should Iran not return to talks next week.

Asked by reporters late on Wednesday whether he would give a deadline before doing so, he responded: "I ‌don't like giving deadlines, but they pretty ⁠much know, they know the story... they better behave."

He later told delegates at a defence summit that Iran was "not happy right now".

"They want to settle so badly. They don't like what we're doing," he said. "We'll find out whether we want to settle with them or if we just finish it off."

7 Ways Your Next Car Could Control More Than Just The Road

The automobile once represented personal freedom, but today’s connected vehicles increasingly watch, record, judge, and sometimes override their drivers. Cameras, GPS histories, insurance tracking, cloud software, remote updates, and automated intervention promise safety and convenience while quietly changing what ownership means. Seven emerging trends reveal how the car in your driveway could become part of a much larger system of monitoring and control.

Thirty Thousand People Just Proved The Gospel Still Draws A Crowd

Thirty thousand people packed Angel Stadium to hear the Gospel at Greg Laurie’s Harvest Crusade, challenging the assumption that large-scale evangelism belongs to another era. Similar scenes are unfolding through mass baptisms and campus worship gatherings across America. In a culture saturated with screens yet starved for connection, these crowds suggest that spiritual hunger remains far stronger than many cultural observers are willing to admit.

Iranian Lawmaker Calls for Kidnapping 100 US Troops, Holding Them in Iran

"Islam in Vienna: The Fate of Those Who Reject History" by Raymond Ibrahim

Recently we saw just how Islamic the Austrian capital of Vienna has become. One key marker is that Muslims now outnumber Christians in the schoolrooms. Hand in hand with this influx of Muslims has been an influx of crimes. This has been so right from the start. According to a 2017 report:

Muggings and beatings are becoming commonplace in the historic capital city, with passersby being attacked on almost a daily basis…. The Praterstern area, just outside central Vienna, is now controlled by North Africans and is considered the worst area in the city for crime.

Despite police increasing their presence in the area it has become riddled with crime. On the other side of the city, the area surrounding the West Railway Station has been taken over by Afghans who have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons…. Crimes carried out by migrants in Austria have risen rapidly over the past year as more arrive in the country. Last year [2016], there were a total 22,000 criminal complaints against migrants, up from 14,000 in 2015, the Austrian Interior Ministry revealed. Sex attacks carried out by asylum seekers has become a serious problem in Austria, with a 133 per cent increase in migrant sex attacks in the past year since the migrant crisis erupted. Swimming pools and other public venues have become some of the most prevalent areas for attacks to take place.

The ironies surrounding these developments are many, but one in particular, related to this very date, drives home the importance of history and the fate of those who reject it.

The False Messiah Driving Iran And The Soon Arrival Of Their Master Leader The Mahdi

The false messiah driving Iran

By Robin Schumacher - https://www.christianpost.com/voices/the-false-messiah-driving-iran.html

The Bible uses many literary devices to communicate its message, one of them being repetition. Whenever you see statements repeated in Scripture (especially if they are close together in the same text), then the writer is emphasizing the message and telling us we really need to pay attention.

A good example is Jesus’ Olivet Discourse found in Matthew 24, which is prophetic in nature and covers the end times. It starts off with Jesus warning, “See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many” (vv. 4–5). Then, just a few verses later, He says: “Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many” (vs. 11).

Skip down just little more, and then there’s this: “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect” (vv. 23–24).

Prophecy Update: Not Theoretical

By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2026/07/11/not-theoretical-by-daymond-duck/

On June 29, 2026, Breanna Claussen (Founder, President, and Editor-in-Chief of Harbinger’s Daily) posted an article that said the following:

While the world’s attention is fixed on the Iranian regime, another nation with leadership just as wicked and bent on the destruction of Israel is flying largely under the radar of scrutiny.

Turkey, a member of NATO, has a vast track record of antisemitism—praising the Iranian proxy-led massacre on October 7th, hosting Hamas terrorists, threatening to invade the Jewish State, and even publicly expressing the desire to acquire nuclear weapons.

Some Military experts have gone so far as to brand the nation “the new Iran,” expressing concerns over Turkish President Erdogan’s thirst for power and radical anti-Israel rhetoric.

Patience Has Run Out: Iran’s Regime Showed Its True Face and Made Clear That It Has No Interest in Peace

By Erick Stakelbeck - https://harbingersdaily.com/patience-has-run-out-irans-regime-showed-its-true-face-and-made-clear-that-it-has-no-interest-in-peace/

The blockade is back on. President Trump announced that the United States is reinstating its naval blockade on Iran, thanks to the Iranian regime’s continued attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

As the president said last week, the ceasefire that had been in effect since April is dead and gone because the regime showed its true face and made clear that it has no interest in peace.

The president wrote, “We are reinstating the Iranian blockade so named because it is the only thing stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait. The USA will be, from this point forward, known as the guardian of the Hormuz Strait. But as such, and as a matter of fairness, we will be reimbursed at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the world. The process and formation will begin immediately.”

There Is Going to Be an All-Out Fight for Control of the Strait of Hormuz, and the Implications Are Staggering

by Michael Snyder - https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/there-is-going-to-be-an-all-out-fight-for-control-of-the-strait-of-hormuz-and-the-implications-are-staggering/#google_vignette

There will be no negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz. There will only be fighting. The U.S. and Iran will now engage in an all-out war for control of the Strait of Hormuz, and the consequences will be felt by every man, woman and child on the entire planet. Traffic through the Strait will be paralyzed for the foreseeable future, and there will be a severe worldwide energy supply crunch as a result. Since neither side intends to surrender, the only way that the crisis ends is for one side to achieve military victory. The U.S. military cannot take out the Iranian missiles and drones that are threatening commercial traffic through the Strait from the air. If that was possible, it would have been done already. To fully eliminate the threat of Iranian missiles and drones, it would require either boots on the ground or nuclear war, and both of those options are unthinkable. So unless a negotiated solution somehow materializes out of thin air, we have got a giant mess on our hands that has no easy solution.

On Friday, President Trump gave the Iranians a 24 hour ultimatum.

Trump threatens to bomb bridges and power plants unless Iran resumes talks

US President Donald Trump has threatened to strike Iran's bridges and power plants next week if the country does not return to talks.

The comments, made in a Fox News interview, aired as the two countries exchanged fire for the fourth day in a row. Trump earlier reversed a threat of a 20% fee on all Strait of Hormuz cargo shipping but resumed blockading Iranian ports.

"Next week it gets really bad for them," Trump said. "We're going to knock out all their power plants. We're going to knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate."

Back in April, Trump threatened to bomb civilian infrastructure in Iran, including bridges and power plants.

UN human rights chief Volker Türk responded at the time by saying: "Under international law, deliberately attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure is a war crime."

The 1949 Geneva Conventions on humanitarian conduct in war prohibit attacks on sites considered essential for civilians. "I'll save the energy targets for last, but ultimately we'll hit energy targets," Trump said in an interview on Special Report with Bret Baier that aired on Tuesday night.

He said US negotiators had conveyed to their Iranian counterparts on Tuesday evening that they "'better make a deal, or you're not going to have anything left'".

The escalation in rhetoric comes after Trump said a 20% toll he had threatened to impose in the Strait of Hormuz would be replaced by "massive" trade and investment deals with Gulf states. His announcement came hours before the US resumed its blockade of Iranian ports.
