The Israel-Iran War of 2025: prophecy collides with power. Airstrikes failed to break Iran. From Psalm 83 to Tehran’s Mahdi, this conflict is existential—and unfinished.
Israel’s June 13 blitz on Iran wasn’t self-defense—it was a ruthless display of unchecked power. Civilians, scientists, sovereignty—all burned. With U.S. cover and global silence, Israel now bombs with impunity. Who’s the real threat?
