Hold On! Iran Is About to Surrender
On Saturday the president of the United States called off an attack. He said he had been assured a deal was close, and he listed what the deal would contain: the immediate, complete and total opening of the Strait...

CENTCOM: Here Are Some Ways to Pressure Iran
CENTCOM’s search for creative ways to pressure Iran exposes a strategic failure. Airstrikes destroy facilities and delay programs but seldom dismantle the mechanisms keeping the Islamic Republic solvent and cohesive. Tehran earns hard currency, reserves scarce resources for loyalists,...

The Gog and Magog War: What’s Still Missing for Its Fulfillment?
Ezekiel was a priest deported to Babylon in 597 BCE, eleven years before the Temple fell. His oracles run from roughly 593 to 571 BCE, and two chapters of his book, 38 and 39, contain its strangest vision. A...

Collapse Pickaxe Mountain’s Entrances and Force Iran to Reveal What It Hides

Demolishing Pickaxe Mountain with a Nuclear Bomb Inside
