Iran at war with the West and Israel, says Iran’s president<\/h2>\n

27 December 2025<\/p>\n

Iran is at war with the United States, Israel and Europe, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday, months after President Donald Trump ordered strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion, we are in a full-fledged war with America, Israel, and Europe; they do not want our country to stand on its feet,\u201d he\u00a0said Saturday in an interview<\/a> on the website of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran\u2019s supreme leader.<\/p>\n

Pezeshkian\u2019s statement came with Israeli\u00a0Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu readying a visit to the United States<\/a>\u00a0this weekend for a confab with Trump on Iran.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHere, they are besieging us from every aspect, they are putting us in difficulty and constraint, creating problems \u2014 in terms of livelihood, culturally, politically, and security-wise \u2014 while raising society\u2019s expectations,\u201d he said. \u201cOn one side, they block our sales, our exchanges, our trade, and on the other side, expectations in society have risen. Consequently, we must all help with all our might to fix the country.\u201d https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/12\/27\/iran-war-israel-trump-00706976<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I believe that Iran has been planning its next moves for some time, plus it is still helping to fund Hezbollah:<\/p>\n

\n

According to the Treasury, “since January 2025, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps\u2013Quds Force, which is sanctioned by the United States, has transferred over one billion dollars to Hezbollah, most of it through money exchange companies”.<\/p>\n

The funds were reportedly used to support Hezbollah forces, rebuild its infrastructure, and resist Lebanese government efforts to extend full sovereign control across the country. https:\/\/www.newarab.com\/news\/us-sanctions-hezbollah-money-movers-tied-iran-cash-network<\/a> 11\/06\/25 https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/idf-carries-out-wave-of-strikes-on-hezbollah-sites-in-south-lebanon-warns-of-more\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Related to Hezbollah’s and Iran’s possibly future plans, Michael Snyder posted the following:<\/p>\n

Watch The Middle East! Israel, Iran And Hezbollah Are All Preparing For Something Really Big<\/h2>\n

November 6, 2025<\/p>\n

If there is going to be \u201cpeace in the Middle East\u201d, why are Israel, Iran and Hezbollah feverishly preparing for war? \u00a0I am watching the Middle East very closely, because I expect something really big to happen. \u00a0In fact, just hours ago the IDF conducted major airstrikes in Lebanon. \u00a0Meanwhile, the Iranians are stockpiling missiles like never before. The clock is ticking, and the Middle East could potentially erupt in flames at any moment.<\/p>\n

A lot of people out there seem to think that Hezbollah has been totally defeated.<\/p>\n

But of course that is not the case at all.<\/p>\n

It is still very formidable, and it is\u00a0being reported<\/a>\u00a0that Hezbollah is \u201cworking on rebuilding the Radwan Force and retrieving weapons from its bunkers\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

In response, Israeli officials have developed a plan that involves\u00a0\u201cwide-scale assassinations of senior Hezbollah commanders and strikes on key positions deep inside Lebanon\u201d<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

The Israeli army has intensified military preparations along the northern front, amid growing indications that Israel is preparing for a major confrontation with Hezbollah, according to reports from Israeli media.<\/p>\n

Army Radio cited informed sources as saying that the anticipated operation will involve wide-scale assassinations of senior Hezbollah commanders and strikes on key positions deep inside Lebanon. The sources added that the operation could be launched \u201cat any moment,\u201d depending on developments along the border.<\/p>\n

The reports suggest Israel aims to neutralize Hezbollah\u2019s leadership and infrastructure, even as a fragile ceasefire remains officially in place.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course we can now see this plan in action. …<\/p>\n

There is no point in pretending.<\/p>\n

Israel and Hezbollah are at war again.<\/p>\n

Hezbollah is ruling out any negotiations, and they are warning that they will fight\u00a0to defend their interests<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

While all of this has been going on, the Iranians have also been preparing for another round of fighting.<\/p>\n

Iran has been feverishly stockpiling missiles, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is claiming that his nation\u2019s missile forces are now\u00a0\u201cfar greater than during the 12-day war\u201d<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Islamic Republic\u2019s approach was to rely on domestically produced military equipment, and the result was that those who initially demanded unconditional surrender ended up accepting an unconditional ceasefire on the 12th day\u2026International relations are based on power. We must be strong, and the armed forces have gone above and beyond in this regard. Our missile power today is far greater than during the 12-day war.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don\u2019t think that he is exaggerating. …<\/p>\n

We are supposed to believe that the Iranian nuclear program has been set back for a long time and is no longer an imminent threat.<\/p>\n

I am not buying that. …<\/p>\n

Sadly, I expect war to continue to be a major theme in 2026, and that is not good news for any of us. https:\/\/endoftheamericandream.com\/watch-the-middle-east-israel-iran-and-hezbollah-are-all-preparing-for-something-really-big\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hezbollah has long been angry with Israel–and has also wanted revenge since Israel hit many with its terroristic pager explosives last year (see\u00a0Reuters: Hezbollah vows to punish Israel after pager explosions across Lebanon; MS: Middle East Apocalypse: Israel Is Preparing For An \u201cAll-Out Confrontation With Hezbollah\u201d In The Near Future<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Iran is also angry with Israel.<\/p>\n

It remains my belief that Hezbollah and Iran will one day reign a volley of bombs on Israel. Those in Jerusalem, and not just in the northern portion of Israel, should be concerned. I also believe that at least some Syria will become more directly involved against Israel.<\/p>\n

The Bible shows that God will allow the nation of Israel to be hit as shown in the Israel Bible<\/em> translation:<\/p>\n

5 For my Lord God of Hosts had a day Of tumult and din and confusion\u2014 Kir raged in the Valley of Vision, And Shoa on the hill; 6\u00a0<\/strong>While Elam bore the quiver In troops of mounted men, And Kir bared the shield\u2014 7 And your choicest lowlands Were filled with chariots and horsemen: They stormed at Yehuda<\/em>‘s* gateway.<\/p>\n

8 And pressed beyond its screen. You gave thought on that day To the arms in the Forest House,9\u00a0And you took note of the many breaches In the City of David<\/em>. And you collected the water of the Lower Pool; 10 and you counted the houses of Yerushalayim<\/em> and pulled houses down to fortify the wall; and you constructed a basin between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you gave no thought to Him who planned it, You took no note of Him who designed it long before. (Isaiah 22:5-10)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yehuda above means Judah, which is the modern nation called Israel. And Yerushalayim is commonly known as Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

The old Worldwide Church of God published the following related to Elam:<\/p>\n

\n

Iranians comprise nearly 70 percent of the country. Iranians, though Islamic, are totally distinct from the neighboring Arab peoples of the Middle East. They are a mixed people of the remnants of Media and Elam and other ancestors of Semitic and Hamitic stock. (Stump K. South Asia in Prophecy. Plain Truth, July\/August 1986, p. 5)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let me add that, according to the late Dr. Hoeh of the old Radio\/Worldwide Church of God:<\/p>\n

Madai is the father of the Medes. The Medes used to be associated with the Persians. You will read about them especially in the book of Daniel. But by the time of Nehemiah the Persians were much more prominent. Today there are no Medes left in Persia. <\/span>(Hoeh H. The TRUTH about the Race Question! Plain Truth, July 1957)<\/p>\n

Persia, the modern Iran,<\/span> (Hoeh H. Compendium of World History – Volume 2<\/span>. 1969)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hence, this seems to support more being from Elam than Media in Iran.<\/p>\n

Kir looks to include Syrians and others in the region. For example, the Bible tells that after Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria took over Damascus, he moved Syrians to Kir. While this does not mean that Kir must (or must only) be a reference to Syria, the fact that Syria is an ally of Iran is interesting. Some believe Kir is an area in the south of Iran (which could then include some in Iraq), while others suggest closer to the Black Sea (which Turkey borders). God\u2019s word has the expression \u201cthe Syrians from Kir\u201d (Amos 9:7), which is basically confirmation that Kir of Isaiah 22 would include Syrians. The prophecy that \u201cKir uncovered the shield\u201d suggests that Syria will have somehow reduced the effectiveness of Israel\u2019s \u2018Iron Dome\u2019 and\/or other defensive equipment the nation of Israel will use.<\/p>\n

The \u201cHouse of the Forest\u201d was anciently located in Lebanon (e.g. 1 Kings 7:2, 10:17,21; 2 Chronicles 9:16,20)\u2013see also A Discourse on the House of the Forest of Lebanon, pp: 111-134 in Bunyan J. Stebbing H. The Entire Works of John Bunyan, Volume 4. Virtue and Company, 1860.<\/p>\n

Here is the Catholic Public Domain Version<\/em> translation of Isaiah 22:8:<\/span><\/p>\n

8 And the covering of Judah will be exposed, and in that day, you will see the weaponry of the forest house. (Isaiah 22:8, CPDV)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A way for Judah to “see the weaponry of the forest house” would be a massive attack by Hezbollah. In Isaiah 22:8, \u201cJudah\u201d is a reference to those in the land commonly called Israel\u2013God will allow Israel to be attacked!<\/p>\n

In Isaiah 22:1-14, the Bible shows that God will allow something that appears to be an Iranian-Syrian-Southern Lebanese confederation, to strike the nation of Israel.<\/p>\n

In my view, Iran, Hezbollah, and Syria are most likely consulting with each other to determine how and when to launch a major attack against Israel.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s ‘Iron Dome’ and other defenses will not be able to protect Jerusalem against enough of the coming attack to prevent great damage.<\/p>\n

I have been reporting that for years on this COGwriter Church of God News page (e.g. Thiel B. \u2018Israel Reveals it is Now Targeting Iranian Forces Militarily\u2019.<\/a> COGwriter, February 20, 2020 and Thiel B. \u2018Hezbollah chief vows retaliation for future Israeli strikes in Lebanon\u2019 \u2018Bennett: Israel won\u2019t accept rocket attacks from Lebanon\u2019.<\/a> COGwriter, August 8, 2021).<\/p>\n

That said, IF Jesus is to return between 2032-2034, then I expect a regional war involving Israel will occur soon, beyond what we have seen with Israel and Gaza and Hezbollah before today, and\/or a proposed peace plan that will be confirmed by the “prince” of Daniel 9:26-27 this fall. Perhaps today’s terrorist act from Israel actually is the start of that broader regional war. We will see.<\/p>\n
