How Iran Makes Israel into a Thorn in the Flesh to Trump :: By Keith Black

Iran is making Israel a THORN IN THE FLESH (see 2 Corinthians 12:7, Zechariah 12:3 Burdensome Stone) to Donald Trump and other world leaders. Here is how:

Iran made impossible demands that Trump stop Israel from attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon.  If Israel hits back at the Hezbollah terrorists for attacking them, then Iran starts firing missiles at US bases in the Persian Gulf, and they hit Arab oil tankers, Arab oil terminals, ports and cities.  Why does Iran attack Arabs in response to Israel defending itself against Hezbollah terrorists?  Here is why:

Iran has a lot of short-range missiles and drones.  It is easier to hit targets closer to them than to hit Israel 1,000 miles away.  Iran has more short-range missiles and drones than we have interceptors and long-range missiles. US precision missiles cost millions of dollars each, and we have pretty much depleted our ammo.  We don’t have enough cheap ammo to fight Iran.

Trump has been trying to negotiate an end to the war or at least a pause.  But just as soon as treaties are supposedly signed, Iran starts attacking immediately, especially the oil tankers.

Trump was trying to get Israel to stop defending itself from Hezbollah, because each time they do defend themselves, Iran reacts angrily and hits the Gulf Arab states. And that raises oil prices, which hurts Donald Trump politically. So this is how Iran made Israel a thorn in the flesh to Trump and other world leaders.

When Trump called Israeli leader Netanyahu to tell him to stop attacking Hezbollah, it didn’t go well. Trump was angry at him and cussed him out.  He is not able to stop Israel from defending itself.

God sends judgment on those who profane Israel (see Genesis 12:3). He sent big heat waves upon America, including NYC. Other Jew-hating left-wing northern areas such as Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington DC got 100°F+ temperatures. The parades and festivals were cancelled. Many died from the heat in Europe and in America. During the heat wave in New York City, Mayor Mamdani (Iranian-aligned Muslim) cut off power to Jewish neighborhoods, but he left power in the heart of Manhattan so that Taylor Swift could have her huge wedding (Jul-3-2026) at Madison Square Garden Stadium. The Jews had to suffer the worst blackouts in the hottest weather.

Central Synagogue (Jewish Church) in NYC was attacked on Aug 14-2026. The Muslim mayor is not protecting the Jews. The thorn in the flesh is really painful to Trump and the Republicans because high gas prices can drive foolish swing voters to the Democrat Socialists in November elections. There are no moderate candidates in the Democrat Party. They are all Socialists or Commie-Crats. This would bring real disaster upon America.

Israel is also facing elections this fall, and Netanyahu is in danger of losing. The only real answer is to pray that God will restrain Iran to prevent it from attacking Arab oil tankers and Arab refineries, as well as U.S. bases in the Middle East. If the tensions are cooled, oil prices and inflation can come down.

We simply do not have enough ammo to continue this war. We need more cheap drones to take down Iran’s drones. Iran seems to have far more cheap drones and missiles than we have expensive interceptors or precision missiles.

Iran is trying to help the Democrats win the elections by keeping the war going longer. If you are a swing voter feeling the pain from rising gas prices and inflation, do not vote for any Democrats (aka Socialists and Commie-Crats). If you support them, they will end your freedom and liberties forever. For example, look at Brazil, S. Korea, Britain (people jailed for social media posts), Canada, Australia, Spain, and other countries where leftists took over.

In South Korea, the Christian churches are being raided and shut down. Pastors are jailed. Political opponents are jailed. In Brazil, the former president, a Conservative, was sentenced to life in prison. In Canada, pastors, including Polish-born Artur Pawlowski (pronounced Pavlovsky), who fled Poland while it was still part of the Russian Empire, were arrested during the Covid Era. These countries are no longer free.

America and Israel are pretty much the last free countries on the earth, except Argentina and a few Eastern European countries (that broke off from the Soviet Empire). Even in America, we came close to losing our liberties in the Biden/Covid Era. The Biden Administration raided Trump’s home in Florida. They tried many legal cases in an attempt to put him in prison. They tried to bankrupt him with lawsuits. But God did not allow them to successfully destroy him.

Because the swing voters (about 5% of the total) have outsized influence to decide which way the election goes, with leverage of 20 to 1, I wonder if God will hold these people 20 times as accountable as others if they make the wrong choice.

I remember when Jack Chick of Chick Publications heard Evangelist Alberto River say, “IF AMERICA FALLS (LOSES ITS FREEDOM TO LEFTIST TAKEOVER), IT WILL PLUNGE THE ENTIRE WORLD INTO DARKNESS (TRIBULATION).  Not only is America in danger if the Left wins the midterm and four-year election, but the entire world will be. To try to prevent this disaster:

Everyone: Please pray that God will restrain Iran to stop them from attacking Israel, US bases in the Middle East, and Arab oil states.

God can rescue us.  Also pray for Jesus to bring the Rapture (evacuation) as soon as possible so that we don’t have to face Leftist Tyranny.

Saudi Arabia appeals to Israel for help against Houthis – report
Saudi Arabia has reportedly sought intelligence assistance from Israel as Riyadh scrambles to contain a rapid Houthi advance toward one of the world’s most important shipping routes, while the Trump administration weighs whether deteriorating conditions could eventually require direct US military intervention.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approached Israel indirectly through US Central Command, requesting intelligence and other assistance that could help prevent the Iran-backed Houthis from closing the Bab al-Mandeb Strait,

Germany to draft soldiers for Lithuania tank brigade 
The German armed forces will have to appoint around 20% of the soldiers set to form its first permanent foreign-based tank brigade in Lithuania, as it cannot find enough volunteers. The 4,800-strong tank brigade is located close to the 60 km-long Suwałki Gap between Kaliningrad and Belarus. The corridor connects the Baltic countries to other NATO allies and is seen as a likely entry point for a Russian incursion.

A Canadian doctors group makes a shocking proposal
The Quebec College of Physicians thinks the government should allow doctors to kill infants who suffer from “severe pain, extreme deformation or a fatal diagnosis.” The QCP tells the Daily Mail that it wants the Canadian government to extend its physician-assisted suicide law to include such newborns.

Ukraine says energy attacks could stop if Russia agrees, after Trump comments
Russia and Ukraine have agreed not to attack each other’s energy facilities, US President Donald Trump says. Volodymyr Zelenskyj writes on Telegram that it is Ukraine’s proposal, but that it will only apply if Russia agrees to it. “Ukraine is not convinced that Russia has any desire to follow an agreement,” the Ukrainian president writes about the conditions for a “ceasefire for energy facilities.” “The war must end,” Zelensky writes, noting that “de-escalation of critical infrastructure could be the first step towards peace.”

Frederiksen optimistic talks with the US can resolve Greenland dispute
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says she is optimistic that talks with the United States can lead to a solution to the dispute over Greenland’s future. In January, a working group was formed with representatives from Denmark, the United States and Greenland to try to find a solution to the conflict. Since then, hardly any information about the negotiations has been released. The working group continues to work and it is therefore too early to draw any conclusions, but I am quite optimistic that we can find a way forward, says Frederiksen at a meeting in Finland on security in the Arctic on Monday.

A Chinese Satellite Suddenly Shattered In Orbit, Creating A New Space Debris Threat
A Chinese reconnaissance satellite has broken apart in a rare high-altitude orbit, creating dozens of tracked debris fragments that may remain around Earth for centuries, The failure of Yaogan-50 (02) has added a new debris field to one of the more difficult regions of space to manage. The fragments are now traveling in a highly retrograde orbit, a path that moves against the direction of Earth’s rotation and creates challenging conditions for future spacecraft operations.

The pattern is in the data: New York Times, BBC studies confirm anti-Israel media bias
The New York Times’ coverage of the Israel-Hamas war was grossly skewed toward the Palestinian side and against Israel, according to a peer-reviewed academic study. Israeli casualties were consistently omitted or minimized, while Palestinian suffering was amplified and given far greater prominence throughout. The study’s author, Edieal Pinker, a professor at the Yale School of Management, published his findings in the academic journal Studies in Conflict & Terrorism after the paper cleared formal peer review.

Houthis Attack Saudi Arabia as Gulf-Iran Talks Are Postponed
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis launched a new attack on Saudi Arabia on Monday and Gulf Arab states postponed planned talks with Iran, underscoring fears that the Middle East conflict could spread further and threaten global oil supplies. US President Donald Trump said Iran wanted to reach a deal with Washington, signaling a possible diplomatic opening despite the widening regional tensions. “The failing Nation of Iran wants to make a deal, quickly and badly. I will determine whether or not the USA will choose to engage – The concept of which we are open to,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Has Abortion Desensitized People To The Taking Of Children’s Lives?
Presenting darkness as light and light as darkness is contagious — and it has become an epidemic. This is Isaiah 5:20 thinking. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.” “Woe” can be seen here as a warning. The New Living Translation puts it like this: “What sorrow for those who say that evil is good.” A significant portion of Americans have lately shown a tendency to justify and even celebrate evil. Lots of Americans cheered the assassination attempts against President Trump. Luigi Mangione, the accused murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, became a celebrity-hero with thousands of adoring fans. For many on social media, the murder of Charlie Kirk has become a joke — something to delight in. Against a backdrop of Americans treating human life as cheap and violence as an easy solution, came the story of Lindsay Clancy

Physicists help uncover ‘spooky’ quantum effect in the Large Hadron Collider
Physicists at the University of Oxford have helped confirm that one of the strangest phenomena in physics—quantum entanglement—occurs even among some of the heaviest and most fleeting particles ever created. The discovery, made using the world’s most powerful particle collider at CERN, has been published in Physical Review Letters. “Quantum mechanics underpins computing, security and many areas of physics. However, quantum mechanics has mysteries and puzzles that are not yet fully understood.

Saudi Arabia may have used secret Chinese ballistic missile in Yemen for first time
Debris found in Yemen may show that Saudi Arabia used a Chinese-made DF-15A ballistic missile in combat for the first time, potentially revealing a previously undisclosed weapon in the kingdom’s closely guarded missile arsenal, TWZ reported. Images circulating online appear to show wreckage from a DF-15A short-range ballistic missile, although neither the identification of the missile nor Saudi ownership has been confirmed. Tyler Rogoway also highlighted the apparent use on X. The Houthis are not known to possess weapons capable of intercepting it.

U.S. Supreme Court to rule on home Bible studies, as local officials weaponize against gatherings
‘When government pressure causes a reasonable person to cancel a prayer service, the injury is complete the moment it happens.’ The American Center for Law and Justice has fought this battle several times: Can a gov’t forbid a home-based Bible study because it is in a home, or because of the number of people attending, or another reason?

The Supreme Court Will Decide: Can a City Use Red Tape to Kill Your Bible Study?
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear one of the most consequential religious liberty cases in years – and the ACLJ has filed to make sure the Court gets it right. This case is not just about one man’s Jewish prayer group. Home-based religious gatherings are central to how millions of Americans, Jewish and Christian alike, practice their faith.
