Hello John and Doves,
In this letter I wrote
about President Trump's "Situation Room" meeting on Iran
April 18, 2026. The ceasefire between the U.S. and
Iran expires next week. President Trump has put a
blockade on Iranian ports until a negotiation is made.
And Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz again demanding the
blockade be lifted before the Strait is opened again.
This just keeps going back and forth. Who is even 'in
charge' in Iran? Seems the Revolutionary Guard are
doing 'their own thing', while 'some' government people are
doing theirs'.
And I wrote about new
concerns as North Korea has boosted its nuclear enrichment
capacity with a new uranium enrichment facility to
potentially increase its nuclear weapons arsenal. They
are suspected of having 50 nuclear warheads in their
stockpile now...and the capacity to make an estimated 40
more - that was according to a 2024 report. They are
actively increasing their enrichment capacity, in 2026, and
the IAEA director general Grossi said this is a "very
serious increase in weapons development capacity."
And I added an article
about the U.S. military targeting Iran-linked ships -
boarding, ceasing anything deemed contraband.
Iran
Meeting in D.C.:
On Saturday morning,
April 18, President Trump held a "Situation Room" meeting on
"rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing nuclear
talks with Iran..." SOS Rubio, VP Vance, SOW
Hegseth and Treasury Sect Bessent, and the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff were in attendance.
The 'ceasefire' between
the U.S. and Iran will soon expire...and no date given for a
future meeting on negotiations.
Iran's Supreme National
Security Council is 'reviewing' the new U.S. proposals.
"Whether Iran will agree
to not enrich uranium - and for how long - and to give up
its existing stockpile in its nuclear program is one of the
obstacles to the United States and Iran reaching a deal
aimed at ending the war, the Iranian official said."
North
Korea Back in the Nuclear Weapons Spotlight:
As for North Korea -
this article is dated April 15, 2026: North Korea has
helped Iran with their nuclear program.
"The IAEA chief Rafael
Grossi reported increased activity at the country's main
nuclear hub, the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research
Center. The agency also identified a likely new
uranium enrichment facility, signaling expanded capacity to
produce weapons-grade material. North Korea is
estimated to possess a few dozen nuclear warheads."
"Heightened activity
detected at multiple facilities including reactors and
reprocessing units. Possible construction of a new
uranium enrichment plant. Satellite imagery supports
expansion of nuclear infrastructure."
U.S. Military Targeting
Iran-linked Ships Worldwide:
Right now, the U.S. military "will actively pursue
any Iranian-flagged vessel or any vessel attempting to
provide material support to Iran.." The military
will "board, search and seize" all goods listed as
contraband "regardless of location". "...any goods
that are destined for an enemy and that may be
susceptible to use in armed conflict, are subject to
capture at any place beyond neutral territory."

Why would Iran stop,
when their ally North Korea is cruising along with their
nuclear program? And how many nuclear weapons does NK
feel it needs?? They do want nuclear submarines to add
to their arsenal.
President Trump has said
he may not extend the current ceasefire and just 'start
dropping bombs again'.
IF Iran agrees to stop
enriching uranium - we have absolutely no way of verifying
that. Just like we didn't with North Korea.
And if they turn over their existing stockpile of enriched
uranium, we have no way of verifying that they gave us all
of it.
And we have no way of
verifying that they don't already have nuclear
warheads. Just like we don't know how many nuclear
warheads North Korea has right now.
Iran's leadership can
not be trusted. They could lie and 'stop
enriching'. They could lie 'and turn over their
known enriched uranium'. They could lie and then
nuke the U.S. and/or Israel.
I think our money
would be better spent, at this point, setting up
anti-missile systems on our East Coast and increasing our
surveillance of Iranian/etc ships approaching our East
Coast.
This has always been a
no win situation with Iran's Shia-Twelver regime.
As of today, April 18,
I am not seeing any news from the "Situation Room"
meeting. President Trump has said that he will know
by the end of today if he has a deal with Iran. But
don't be surprised if we see Marines on the ground taking
Iranian islands. And 'all hell' breaking out over
there.
I am also very aware
of Iran targeting the U.S. homeland with nuclear
weapons...
Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
