Despite the widespread belief Iran has been defeated, they still have options. Iran is weakened, but not powerless.
Faced with elimination, Iran’s regime is like a cornered animal. My best guess is the current ceasefire is a bid by the United States to give Iran an “out.” It’s an effort to keep Iran from exercising the most extreme of options at their disposal – options they will almost certainly act on if they feel they have no other choice.
These options include:
– Firing ballistic or hypersonic missiles at critical oil infrastructure in the Middle East.
– Firing hypersonic missiles at U.S. naval assets.
– Effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, modeling Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.
It remains to be seen if Iran will take any of these actions, but it’s a mistake to underestimate their capabilities. The threat from Iran will not end until a new regime comes into power.
A lasting ceasefire leaving the current Iranian regime in power will only allow them to rebuild and continue to plot against Israel. Israel knows they have a narrow window to remove the current regime and create peace in the region.
As The Times of Israel reports, Netanyahu foresees once unimaginable prospects for peace on the horizon:
Looking beyond Gaza, Netanyahu said he believed the operation in Iran would also lead to an expansion of the Abraham Accords, a series of normalization deals between Israel and Arab countries that were brokered during Trump’s previous term.
“Extraordinary opportunities are being opened up here,” he said, and reiterated that Israel’s show of strength “is opening up opportunities that we can’t even imagine.”
“I can imagine a massive expansion of the peace agreements,” he continued. “I can see collaborations that might seem fantastical right now, but maybe you understand they’re not fantastical.”
“We will see a bright future of security, of prosperity, of hope, and also of peace.”
The Bible also tells us, we’ll see a Middle East similar to the one just described, which means the current Iranian regime must be defeated. In such a world, the constant existential threats against Israel – persistent threats since 1948 – will seemingly disappear.
Of course, the key word here is “seemingly.”
Again, Israel hasn’t experienced such a state of peace since its modern foundation in May 1948. But such a peace will arrive.
Ezekiel 38:11 describes it. It tells us Israel will be “a land of unwalled villages” – a “tranquil” people, quiet and undisturbed:
“You will say, ‘Israel is an unprotected land filled with unwalled villages! I will march against her and destroy these people who live in such confidence!” Ezekiel 38:11 (NLT)
The stage is being set for the Ezekiel 38-39 Gog of Magog invasion to take place in the near future. It appears likely the current conflict will end with regime change in Iran, and a seeming state of peace in the Middle East.
The Bible says the Gog of Magog invasion will occur “after Israel’s people have been gathered from among many nations” (Ezekiel 38:8). God says it will happen “when I bring my people home from among the enemy nations” (Ezekiel 39:27).
These are clear references to the modern day nation state of Israel and the times in which we live, and the Old Testament prophets directly linked the restoration of Israel and the regathering of the Jewish people with the imminent coming of the Messiah.

I am amazed by your limited vision. the purpose of the war in Ukraine was to bleed Russia dry in terms of military and economy, there upon it would be invaded and the resources divided up by western corporations. Now the purpose of the Iran war is the same, blow it up, destroy the economy and change the leaders so the corporations can take the resources. It did not work in Ukraine and will not work in Iran, not only will it not work, but it will backfire. The US will bleed itself dry until it no longer is able to defend itself. With internal and external threats, it must fail. The truth is the Iranian people have never been more united, and the ceasefire was because the US was running out of missiles.
POTUS blinked on Hormuz now blundered again! A resumption of the Abraham Accords and a watered down two-state solution.
My limited vision? You realize I don't write these articles, right?
And yes there will be a time in which Israel will be living securely prior to the Gig-Magog invasion thats a guarantee and actually has little to do with the basis of Russia-Ukraine or the basis of the Iran conflict initially
