Hello John and Doves,

 

Now it's being reported that Iran is 12 days away from having enough 83.7% enriched uranium to make one nuclear bomb.  The Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl told House Representatives on Tuesday, February 28.

 

This information comes from a recent report by the IAEA - inspectors discovered "on January 21 that two cascades of IR-6 centrifuges at Iran's Fordo facility had been configured in a way 'substantially different' to what had been previously declared.  The IAEA took samples the following day, which showed particles up to 83.7 percent purity, the report said - just short of weapons-grade levels of 90 percent."

 

But Fordo is just one nuclear enrichment facility of many in Iran.  And it's dug into a mountain.

 

This is the first time that 'years, months, weeks' has come down to "days".

 

Since some people believe Iran has had nuclear weapons for years, maybe this is a "heads up" that something is about to happen.  (Biden et al would blame President Trump for pulling out of the JCPOA, but everyone knows Iran was hiding their centrifuges and nuclear weapon research and development from the inspectors.  (And Obama, under the 'cover' of the JCPOA was actually funding Iran's nuclear weapons program.)

 

It's noted in the article that this is particularly worrisome because of Iran's "growing military alliance with Russia, whose armies are currently invading Ukraine."

 

Iran's nuclear threats are "no longer specific to the Middle East, but a global challenge....It is reasonable to expect that the tactics, techniques and procedures that the Iranians are learning and perfecting in Ukraine will one day come back to our partners in the Middle East..."

At the same time these inspectors were doing their inspection and analysis and preparing this report, the IAEA chief, Rafael Grossi, "warned that Tehran had amassed enough material for "several nuclear weapons".  He also said Iran didn't have a bomb yet.

(Grossi has no way of knowing that for sure, as Iran removed cameras that the inspectors had put up, and Iran has been playing a shell game with the inspectors for years - Iran no doubt has never disclosed all of their nuclear facilities or their nuclear research."  For years we've heard that Tehran was "6 months" away from a nuclear weapon.)

 

Iran has been supplying Russia with bomb-carrying drones for some time now.  "Iran is doubling down on military support for Russia in a series of new military deals that could prolong the war in Ukraine and offer sanction-battered Tehran new economic and defense lifelines....Russia is proposing to help the Iranians on their missile program and also at least considering the possibility of providing fighter aircraft to Iran as well."

"Russia is now providing an "unprecedented level" of military and technical support to Iran in exchange for Tehran supplying weapons for war in Ukraine...As part of the enhanced partnership, Russia may be providing Iran with advanced military equipment and components, including helicopters and air defense systems."  US officials believe this relationship is "transforming into a full-fledged defense partnership with weapons and military expertise flowing in both directions."

Israel knew what the inspectors discovered during their 'January 21 plus' days long visit to the Fordo facility.  That Iran was 12 days away from having enough material for a nuke.  Iran has already developed and tested missiles capable of carrying a warhead.  Looks like all they've needed is the enriched material to make the warhead.  (Remember, Iran has been working with North Korea for years - often 'spotted' at nuclear missile launch sites during testing in North Korea - Iran didn't need to 'reinvent the wheel'.)

 

High Level Secret Meetings in Israel:

 

This would explain this recent article about leaked information of Netanyahu  being in several secret meetings with Mossad and his defense and intelligence leaders and ministers, stating that he is readying strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.  (This article was dated February 23, 2023)    Brig Gen Amir Avivi, (Reserves) told Fox News, "As we are witnessing the continued unhindered progress of the Iranian military nuclear program with weapons-grade enrichment, Israel is readying its credible military option."

Israeli Delegation To DC Next Week:

 

And, in this March 3, 2023 article, because of this recent report, "A senior delegation (including the Strategic Affairs Minister and the National Security Chief) from the Israeli government will travel to the US capital next week to meet with officials from the White House, the Pentagon, and the State Department."  (I agree with Fay - why does Israel have to get permission from the US for everything they do?  Netanyahu should realize by now this White House is not interested in supporting Israel - this administration is no friend to Israel.)

This delegation is to meet with the US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

 

And the US Secretary of Defense Austin is suppose to go to Israel next week, but he's seeing Jordan first, then Egypt before going to Israel where he is to "drive home the dangers of further escalation between Israeli forces and Palestinian militant groups in the West Bank."   And to minimize Israel's concerns, "CIA director Bill Burns reiterated last week that US intelligence believes Iran's leader has not decided to pursue a nuclear weapon."

(And we know how Austin "took care of" the Chinese spy balloon.  Israel knows where Austin stands on all things Israel.) 

 

"The head of the International Atomic Energy Commission (IAEA) Rafael Grossi will land in Tehran late Friday for talks on the Islamic Republic's nuclear activities...."  That would be March 3.

Israel has their own intelligence assessments of Iran.  The Israeli government is very much aware of Washington's stance on Israel vs Iran.  And what is more important to the Biden administration.  And the Palestinian front is close to major escalation.

 

The Palestinian Perfect Storm:

 

But there is another problem brewing for Israel:

 

"All of the signals on the Palestinian scene are pointing to a high potential of escalation...the "lack of hope and prosperity" among Palestinians youth, the corruption in the Palestinian Authority, and the prospect of a succession fight whenever PA President Mahmoud Abbas dies or steps down, will lead to "the perfect storm"

Israel's Red Lines:

 

"Netanyahu spoke with several state leaders and stressed that Israel considers Iran enriching uranium to 90% a red line."

 

In this article, it states, "...US Under Secretary of Defense Colin Kahl said Tuesday that Tehran can enrich a sufficient amount of uranium in 12 days to a level of 90% - the level of enrichment needed to produce a crude nuclear weapon."

 

That's Netanyahu's red line.  Maybe the Israeli delegation will tell the US they are going to strike Iran's nuclear facilities - period.  The window of opportunity is closing.

"They have enough enriched uranium for atomic bombs...We used to say that was the red line.  In the past, we told ourselves that we will do whatever was needed in order to block Iran from getting to this position...there is no comprehensive, efficient plan B in our strategy in facing a nuclear Iran."

A Few Comments:

It sure looks like "something is in the works" - with the IAEA report results (of late January) coming out to the public on/about March 1 about the 12 days to enough 90% enriched uranium to produce a nuclear warhead; the numerous secret meetings between Netanyah and Mossad/intelligence officials, and the high level Israeli delegation coming to the US next week AND the US Defense Minister flying to Israel to meet with Netanyahu - meeting last with Israel shows the lack of respect the US has for Israel  Iran building a nuclear warhead, based on the recent information, should be Number 1 in the Middle East - a tactical nuclear attack on Israel would certainly affect Jordan and Egypt!

 

I agree with Fay, Israel should be able to do what they want with out kowtowing to the US - Netanyahu knows how the Biden Administration feels about Israel, so maybe this time, Israel will do what they want and leave the US out of the plans.  The Biden Administration is no friend of Israel.

 

Just let the chips fall where they may.  Iran has already crossed Israel's many red lines -

 

 I certainly wouldn't tell the Biden Administration ANY particulars of any upcoming military operations - Israel knows they can't trust Biden.  Why would anyone trust Joe Biden - he can't be trusted to not hide the top secret documents of the "Israeli Attack Plans on Iran" or "Israel's Upcoming Strikes on Palestinian Militants" in his garage for Hunter to sell to Tehran and the PA! 

 

This is quite obvious in this article:  "The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Britain, France and Germany are pushing for a public censure of Tehran in response to its enrichment levels, while the Biden administration is reluctant to do that.  Israel has also stepped up its military planning for possible strikes against Iran's nuclear infrastructure."

The US administration is NO FRIEND of Israel!

 

So, IF we have a countdown going - because we were given a 12 days window - the 84% enriched uranium was found near the end of January...so we are way past that "window".  But if we go by the information given to Congress on February 28, that would put 12 days at/about March 12, next Sunday.  Not far in the future.  Plenty of time for Iran to place nuclear warheads on missiles.  Will Israel strike first?

 

And now, "Iran is seeking sophisticated new air-defense systems from Russia that Israeli officials believe will narrow the window for a potential strike on Tehran's nuclear program, according to people familiar with the matter.  The prospect of Iran getting the systems, the S-400s, would accelerate a decision on a possible attack, people in Israel and the US with knowledge of the discussions said.
How Close Is Iran to a Nuclear Weapon Without the JCPOA? - Bloomberg

 

We'll see what comes out of these meetings next week - but Israel's window for doing enough damage to Iran's nuclear weapons program to set them back a while is closing.....it's just a 'kicking the can down the road' scenario.  Iran has so many hiding spots for nuclear weapons.  Israel is such a small country.  

 

One day, the whole of Israel will turn to God and look to Him for their help and protection.  

 

In the Gog and Magog War, Ezekiel 38, the Lord says, "I will magnify and sanctify Myself, and will reveal Myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.  Ez 38:23

 

Sure a lot going on right now in the world - looks like it's all going to be coming to a head soon, as we approach the Spring High Holy Days in the month of Nisan.  1 Nisan - with the new moon (March 21 7:23PM New Moon in Jerusalem); the actual sighting would be shortly after that.  And Purim is right around March 7 - God saved the Jews from annihilation on that day.  Will something similar happen on that day again?

 

We know that Iran has crossed Israel's red lines - to stop them BEFORE they had the ability to make nuclear bombs - now Israel is facing a nuclear armed Iran. 

 

Israel can not sit back until Iran strikes Tel Aviv - the time to act is now.  Israel needs to do as much damage to Iran's nuclear sites as possible.  Or maybe Israel will hit one in the hopes Iran will back down.

 

Will this happen?  Will this start the Gog and Magog War?  Or will this happen after the Rapture?  Or will something happen to put this on a back burner for a while?

 

What we do know for sure, what happens will be according to God's will.  

 

Everything is on a hair trigger.  The war in Ukraine, Russia-Iran military alliances, the Palestinian unrest, Iranian threats to Israel, China's threats to Taiwan/U.S., the first nuclear strikes by Russia/Iran/US.... 

 

And we are approaching important dates - Purim and the month of Nisan - 1, 10 and 15.

 

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

 

Marantha!
