Hello John and Doves,
In this letter I started off with a FOX news story.And I followed with some news snips from yesterday and today, July 22.Then I added Monkey's latest You Tube video on his Monekywerx channel.I ended with some related news links - just reading the titles tells us things are really escalating over there.FOX News:Today I was listening to Fox News - the story was somber, the guests comments were all 'gloom and doom'.The topic was: Iran has refused to allow the IAEA inspectors to inspect their nuclear facilities..and the IAEA does not know where all of Iran's highly enriched uranium is located. Iran has been hiding, moving, concealing components of their nuclear weapons building program for years.As one FOX contributor noted: it should not be a surprise to anyone that Iran will not give up their nuclear program nor will they hand over control of the Strait of Hormuz. This needs to be handled by the military.The hand writing has been on the wall for a long time - from the beginning President Trump has said he will not allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon. They will not negotiate...so there are two options...let them continue on the path they are on - controlling the Strait of Hormuz and building more nuclear weapons or expand the war to knock them off that path.(end FOX report)News Snips:President Trump has said he is considering hitting Pickaxe Mountain (Kolang Kouh). Iran is denying any nuclear activity at Pickaxe.The spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry, Esmaeil Baqaei, "wrote in a statement that attacks on the Islamic regime's "peaceful nuclear facilities" are a clear violation of international law and "reveal the United State's deep-rooted enmity toward Iran's scientific progress. He added that all of Iran's nuclear activity has been recorded with the appropriate organizations.""Iran's Pickaxe Mountain is an advanced nuclear facility located near Natanz, one of the country's most prominent enrichment sites...Following the June 2025 strikes on Iran's uranium enrichment facilities, authorities reportedly accelerate construction of the site in anticipation of another war.""...analysts and some U.S. officials have theorized that Iran has used the site to store its stockpiles of highly enriched uranium."President Trump said "..we'll be hitting that area pretty soon, and very heavily."Amir Tsarfati said that Pickaxe will require a tactical nuclear weapon or boots on the ground.The House of Representatives passed H.R. 8800 "National Defense Authorization Act" - this will merge U.S. - Israel militaries. It goes to the Senate now.150 medics have been added to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany this last week. This is where U.S. military casualties from the Middle East go for treatment. This supports a possible escalation of the war. by the U.S.U.S. special forces have been deployed from the U.S. to the region along with fighter jet squadrons positioned throughout the Middle East; bombers stationed in the U.S. and U.K. are on high alert. All expecting escalation of operations.Iran has seen 12 consecutive days of strikes.Iran's Aerospace Commander Mousavi told the U.S. that if the U.S. hits Iranian's bridges or power plant, Iran will cut off the electricity to U.S. Gulf allies. Iran said their defense doctrine is "an eye for an eye". Iran said their missile and drone production has not paused or stopped - they continue to replenish their stockpiles.President Trump said that for every ship hit by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. will hit one bridge or one power plant.Israeli intelligence believes that Iran has moved thousands of their uranium-enrichment centrifuges into tunnels inside Pickaxe Mountain.Iran has targeted Kuwait with attack drones.The U.S. thinks that Russia is helping Iran target CIA facilities in the Gulf along with the U.S. military base in Jordan.It was reported that a Saudi oil tanker was hit in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. So now the Houthis control this Strait like Iran controls Hormuz. This will prevent the Saudis from moving oil. The global energy crisis just got another ding.
Monkeywerx:Monkeywerx has been following all of this very closely; in this video he said "it's time the U.S. finish the job....Iran is going toe - to - toe with us. And the only way you are going to ever get this resolved is not a negotiation table where you're cutting checks to them for a deal. It is militarily you have to basically end it."Iran's red line is they will give up nothing concerning the Strait or their nuclear program.Several power and water desalination plants in Kuwait were attacked by Iran.Monkey talked about the article "Houthis Warn All Ships Against Calling at Saudi Arabia's Ports". The Houthi militia sent emails to shipping companies warning them not to load or unload cargo at Saudi Arabian ports or they will be targeted. That have declared a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia, opening a potential new front against the United States in its war with Iran and raising the threat of global energy supplies and trade beyond the Gulf."

Monkey said this will impact the Asian oil market. The Houthis are Iranian proxies.Pakistan has some 170 nuclear warheads; they've said they would give one to Iran. They all work together - it's 'the brotherhood'; they are all aligned; and they are all against the West; they are all against Israel."run time 39:51Here are some interesting news links:Looks like we are really close to a big escalation with Iran. Moving in those 150 medics is a big heads up.Will the Rapture happen before this gets really bad?Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!Maranatha!Chance
