The Persians Hit back as Both the US and Iran trade strikes for first time in weeks

 Iran and the US have traded strikes after American forces attacked two rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

The first known US strikes on Iran since late July killed two people and injured two others, according to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which vowed "response and punishment".

US Central Command (Centcom) said it had taken "limited, precise action" against "minelaying forces posing an imminent threat in the Strait of Hormuz".

Iran said it had struck US military bases in Jordan in response, with Jordan's army saying it had intercepted eight missiles early on Monday morning. Iran's state TV also said the Iranian army had targeted an air base in the UAE with drones.

However, the UAE's Ministry of Defence denied the reports that Al-Minhad Air Base had been targeted as "unfounded". The UAE did confirm it shot down a drone.

The US strike is the first known attack on Iran since President Donald Trump paused a renewed military campaign in late July. Larak Island is just offshore from the key port of Bandar Abbas and sits right on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global shipping. Some 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas used to travel through before the war began.

Since the conflict began in February, the strait has effectively been closed, causing wild fluctuations in the price of oil on world markets. Iran is currently demanding that tanker traffic pass by Larak Island for checks and reportedly forcing vessels to pay $2m (£1.5m) to cross.

Iran's Tasnim news agency, which is affiliated with the IRGC, said earlier that the attack on Larak was carried out by drones.

LOSING YOUR MIND IN THE MADNESS AND CHAOS OF THESE END TIMES

 

Losing Your Mind

Bill Perkins – https://compass.org/losing-your-mind/

And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death flees from them. Rev. 9:6

The above verse was always mysterious to me because it’s hard to imagine not being able to kill yourself if you really wanted to.

But I recently watched a short video clip featuring Billy Crone on the subject of mind control during the Tribulation. He didn’t reference the above Bible verse, but it fits like a glove with what he explained about where the world is headed.

To make his case, Crone shared an uncomfortable quote by Larry Ellison, a billionaire friend of Bill Gates. Ellison said the AI Stargate program will eventually be like a big brother, watching our every move and every thought.

"The St. Francis They Don’t Want You to Know" by Raymond Ibrahim

  “It could be deduced from the Gospel that the crusade was a legitimate act of retribution for the Saracens’ forcible conquest of Christian territory and their blasphemies against Christ.”

As we saw, a few days ago, a crusader army launched a decisive assault that captured the Tower of Damietta, breaking the Muslim defenses across the Nile and opening the way for the Fifth Crusade’s advance into Egypt.

Taking Damietta itself would, however, prove an arduous task; a lengthy siege commenced, with occasional, and ever increasing, assaults—often led by the Templars.

Sultan al-Kamil eventually fled his own camp near the city wall, which was quickly appropriated by the Christians—with the knights of the Temple, once again, in the van:

The Templars, leaders in the ascent of the horses, having put up their banners, hurried to the city in a swift march, throwing down the wicked ones who came boldly from the gates to resist those who were advancing.

The sultan, terrified by their audacious advance, proceeded to offer generous terms to the crusaders. In exchange for their withdrawal from Egypt, he would restore Jerusalem to the Christians, establish a thirty-year truce, return all castles captured west of the Jordan River, and pay a tribute of between 15,000–30,000 gold bezants (sources differ).

John of Brienne, titular king of Jerusalem, was eager to accept this ostensibly handsome offer, but the papal legate, Cardinal Pelagius, who by now shared leadership of the army with John, rejected it.
