US working on building new coalition to ensure ships can pass through Hormuz
The United States is asking other countries to join a new international coalition that would enable ships to navigate the Strait of Hormuz after traffic through the waterway stalled, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The proposed coalition, dubbed the “Maritime Freedom Construct,” would share information, coordinate diplomatically and help enforce sanctions, the Journal says, citing an internal State Department cable.
“Your participation will strengthen our collective ability to restore freedom of navigation and protect the global economy,” the cable sent to US embassies reportedly says. “Collective action is essential to demonstrate unified resolve and impose meaningful costs on Iranian obstruction of transit through the Strait.”
According to the report, the cable says US diplomats should ask their foreign interlocutors whether their countries want to be a “diplomatic and/or military partner,” and that the mission will be run jointly by the State Department and US Central Command.
“The MFC would be complementary to other security maritime task forces, including the maritime planning effort the U.K. and France are leading,” the cable also reportedly says.
CENTCOM chief to brief Trump on new plans for US military action against Iran
US President Donald Trump is slated to receive a briefing on new plans for potential military action in Iran on Thursday from the leader of the US Central Command, Adm. Brad Cooper, Axios reports.
Three sources with knowledge of the matter tell the outlet that CENTCOM has drawn up plans for a “short and powerful” series of strikes on Iranian targets, with the aim of pressuring Iran to give ground in negotiations.
One of the sources says other options being readied include a takeover of parts of the Strait of Hormuz and dispatching special forces to snag Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile.

The Drums Of War Are Not Random—They Are Prophetic
Yes, the drums of war are beating, louder and louder. Across the globe, tensions are rising at a pace that feels escalations are inevitable. Nations are aligning, alliances are shifting, and conflicts once considered regional are now threatening to ignite on a global scale. For those who study Bible prophecy, these developments are not surprising; they are expected.
The question is not if war will come. The question is: Are we watching the stage being set for the final wars described in Scripture?
Jesus warned: “…you will hear of wars and rumors of wars…” Matthew 24:6 Today, we are no longer simply hearing rumors—we are witnessing escalation. We see this through Middle East tensions involving Israel and Iran, global power struggles between superpowers, military buildups, and shifting alliances. This is not random. It is a startling convergence.
Zechariah 12:3 warns that God “will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples…” Israel remains the epicenter. It is the constant global focus of world leaders, at the UN, on college campuses, and in the media. The Jewish State is surrounded by hostility, political and spiritual conflict, and antisemitism is emerging at an increasing pace.
Ezekiel 38 describes a coalition forming against Israel. Key elements today make this undeniable, including a restored Israel (since 1948), identifiable nations within this prophecy coming into alignment, and an increasing cooperation among adversaries. What was prophecy is now forming in real time.
We now live in an age of instant communication and logistics. This allows for a different type of war, artificial intelligence warfare. This modern war includes AI-assisted targeting, predictive military strategy, and autonomous operations (drones and remote missile strikes). Battlefields are shifting from human-led to system-driven. War is becoming faster and less dependent on human presence, but more focused on human destruction.
Through Cyber Warfare, nations can now shut down power grids, collapse financial systems, and disrupt communication networks. War can now happen without a single soldier crossing a border.
Technology now allows digital currency systems, biometric identification, and real-time tracking. An unsettling level of control through technology—on a global scale—is no longer a “someday” thing; it is now a reality.
Matthew 24:4 Jesus stated, “Take heed that no one deceives you.” Modern deception is everywhere. AI-generated content, “deepfakes,” and controlled narratives run rampant. Truth itself is under attack.
The three forces of war, technology, and control are merging. War creates instability, instability creates demand for order, and technology enables that order.
The final war described in God’s Word does not end in uncertainty. It ends in victory! The world sees chaos, but those who know Scripture see alignment. The drums of war are not random—they are prophetic. And while nations prepare for conflict, believers prepare for eternity.
IDF chief says there is ‘no ceasefire’ in south Lebanon as fight against Hezbollah continues
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says there “is no ceasefire” in southern Lebanon as troops continue to operate against the threat of Hezbollah.
He also says that the IDF “will not tolerate” Hezbollah’s attacks, while adding that Israel will not leave its new security zone until the threat to Israel’s northern communities is removed.
“In Lebanon, the mission assigned to us by the political echelon is to position ourselves along the line to prevent direct fire on the communities. We have achieved this; this is the line we are on. We may be required to remain on it,” Zamir says during a visit this morning to the southern Lebanon town of Taybeh, where troops are deployed.
“We will not tolerate attacks and fire on our communities, and we will not leave until long-term security for the northern communities is ensured,” he says, according to remarks published by the IDF.
Zamir says the IDF is continuing to fight: “We continue fighting and are working to deepen the operational achievements and to protect our forces.”
“On the combat front, there is no ceasefire; you continue to fight, to remove direct and indirect threats from the northern communities, to thwart terror infrastructure, to locate and kill terrorists,” he continues.
“Any threat, anywhere, to our communities or our forces, including beyond the Yellow Line and north of the Litani [River], will be removed. Your mission and duty are to act with freedom of action and remove any threat,” Zamir says.
He says that “at this stage we are not advancing beyond the line, but we will continue to act and remove threats freely.”
“The forces on the ground continue to operate, and there is no restriction on [destroying] infrastructure and killing terrorists,” Zamir adds.
Zamir also says that “Everything defined for us by the political echelon regarding the current campaign in Iran and Lebanon has been achieved and even beyond that.”
“In doing so, we have created the operational conditions for the processes now being led by the political echelon,” he says.
