Rising Tensions!
The Strait of Hormuz is under attack as commercial tankers are being targeted. This could wipe out nearly a third of all seaborne-traded oil and almost 20% of all oil produced globally if the commercial tankers do not conduct business as usual. A blow to the world's oil supply could cause a spike in worldwide gas prices and a financial meltdown.
In addition, these attacks could spur a war between U.S. and Iran as Iran is under allegations. Russia and China are also allies of Iran (Ezekiel 38), and it seems as though a global WW3 climate is escalating.

It is prophesied that Russia, China, and Iran will nuke both the U.S. East and West coasts, and invade America (Jeremiah 51, Revelation 18). I believe this can happen very very soon:
• Sudden Bear Strike
• Waves of Judgment
* It seems this World War 3 that is soon to begin will be fertile grounds for the AntiChrist to rise out of the ashes of destruction in which the globalist elite Luciferians have planned:
• Rise of the Phoenix
• Setting the Stage
This coalition of nations forming against USA and Israel appear to be the latter day Gog and MaGog alliance to some degree:
• War on Israel
• Cup of Trembling
Various Christian dreams, visions, and prophetic messages indicate that as the bombs come down, the Christians go up in the rapture (1 Corinthians 15:50):
• Christians Up, Bombs Down
Note - According to various prophetic words, dreams, and visions, a powerful coalition of nations, headed by Russia and China will nuke and invade America from both the East and West coasts. At the moment, the US is at the brink of war with Iran who has just held joint naval drills with China and Russia near the Persian Gulf in opposition to the United States in late December 2019.
Update #1
A recent article indicates:
"The U.S. last week announced it was sending an aircraft carrier group, bombers and a Patriot antimissile battery to counter what the Trump administration said were “clear indications” that Iran and its proxies were preparing to possibly attack U.S. forces in the region, the AP reported. That’s in addition to the presence of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, which is based in Bahrain"

Saudi Arabia on Monday said two oil tankers were damaged significantly in a “sabotage” attack over the weekend near the Strait of Hormuz, intensifying the spotlight on the waterway — the world’s biggest potential choke point for global crude shipments.
A Norwegian-flagged vessel was also damaged, according to reports. Details surrounding the incident remain unclear, but it comes at a time of already heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran following Washington’s decision to reimpose sanctions on Tehran. The United Arab Emirates said the alleged attack on Sunday targeted four ships off the coast of the port city of Fujairah, which lies about 85 miles (140 kilometers) south of the Strait of Hormuz

Where is the Strait of Hormuz?
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway that links the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. At its narrowest point, the waterway is only 21 miles wide, and the width of the shipping lane in either direction is just 2 miles, separated by a two-mile buffer zone.
Why is it important?
Oil tankers carrying crude from ports on the Persian Gulf must pass through the strait. Around 18.5 million barrels a day of crude and refined products moved through it in 2016, nearly a third of all seaborne-traded oil and almost 20% of all oil produced globally, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That makes the Strait of Hormuz the world’s most sensitive oil transportation choke point.
What’s the threat?
Iranian officials last month threatened to interrupt the flow of oil through the strait after the Trump administration said it would end waivers that allow countries to import Iranian oil.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, in early May, said the country had no interest in escalating tensions with the U.S., according to Iranian news agency Tasnim. He said Tehran viewed the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz as “our lifeline” and wanted them “safe, secure and free for navigation of all countries, including Iran.”

As the US is accusing Iran of attacking two more Japanese Oil Tankers in June 2019, a coalition of nations are strengthening ties with one another in opposition of the United States. This seems to be in alignment with various Christian prophetic dreams, visions, and words regarding the nations who will soon destroy the United States on home soil.
"China and Russia's leaders say their countries are closer than they've ever been, and that's partly due to what they see as a common threat.
Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin's meeting in St Petersburg was a display of the strength of their relationship, and also a show of solidarity against the United States.
Russia has been economically isolated for years due to Western sanctions over its invasion of Crimea in 2014.
Meanwhile, China is in the grip of a trade war with the US that has seen tariffs imposed on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of goods.
But is this strategic partnership or a marriage of convenience? And can Moscow and Beijing build a united front against Washington?"

U.S. President Donald Trump targeted Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top Iranian officials with sanctions on Monday.

On Tuesday, Trump threatened to obliterate parts of Iran if it attacked "anything American," but later left the door open for talks.

July 2, 2019 - This could potentially turn into something big, perhaps a trigger for WW3?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-europe-48844013
A fire aboard a Russian navy research submersible has killed 14 crew members, the Russian defence ministry says.
The crew were poisoned by fumes as the vessel was taking measurements in Russian territorial waters on Monday.
The ministry gave no details about the type of vessel. But Russian media reports say it was a nuclear mini-submarine used for special operations.
The fire was later put out and the vessel is now at Severomorsk, the main base of the Russian Northern Fleet.
The defence ministry did not say how many crew members were aboard at the time.
An investigation into the incident has begun under the commander-in-chief of the navy.
Russian President Vladimir Putin later on Tuesday pulled out of a scheduled event in the Tver region, north-west of Moscow, to discuss the issue with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.
Mr Putin described the incident as a big loss for the Russian Navy, and expressed "sincere condolences" to the victims' families.
Seven captains and two service personnel awarded Russia's highest honorary title, Hero of the Russian Federation, were among those who died on board the vessel, the president said.

Vision received late/early 26 January 2016:
I see a submarine lifting up out of the water. I see dead soldiers and I see people coming out of the submarine looking like they couldn’t breathe. I hear from the Holy Spirit, “the Chinese will sabotage the Russian submarine and blame it on the U.S.”
Amos 9:10, All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
Please take this Word into prayer.
Luke 2:49, And He said unto them, How is it that ye sought Me? Wist ye not that I must be about My Father’s Business?
I received this Word from Father God Yahweh at 3:47 pm on 26 January 2016:
Daughter of Mine Own Heart, write My, Father Yahweh’s Important and Inerrant Words for My Children to hear, see, experience, and to take in:
My Son’s Love is tremendous for you, O’ inhabitants of the earth. His love is greater than the tallest mountain, more vast than all the expanse of the heavens, and it is deeper than the very depths of your souls. That’s how much God loves you, and even more than that. My Son Yeshua subjected Himself to live under man here on earth, while He was growing up in His Earthly Body. Never forget that He, God Almighty, left His Glory, to come and dwell with men and suffer and die for all of the world’s sins. He is Your Very Messiah. Unfortunately, My Israel is still waiting for Him to appear the first time. They have been partially blinded for bringing My Gentiles into My Son’s Grace and Glory, and Everlasting Life. But they will soon know the Truth. My Son, the One Who came and died and I raised Him up many thousands of years ago; they will know Who He is. My Son was slain before the foundations of earth. God had all of this planned out before I created any human. God knows all things. I know when the enemy tries to be sneaky, for satan still thinks he might win. To this, let me remind you My Children, that My Son has the Victory. If you are in My Son Yeshua, you have the victory you need to overcome any situation in His Victorious and Ever So Mighty Name. I have given My Daughter a vision of a catalyst that brings the war to the Americans. When I gave her the vision, she asked Me if this is what starts the war, and I said No, but it helps bring on the hatred between Russia and the US, as it is already in the air. That is what war is about; it is haughty and it is evil hatred; it is about saving face. Be prepared America, this is coming. My Son had given My Daughter a Message for all His Children to get prepared. This Message will be given out very soon now; as My Daughter is attune to everything her Mighty God tells her.
Father God Yahweh Elohim, preparing His Children of earth for what is coming, has spoken!

As Turkey and the United States continue to spar over the imminent arrival of Russian made S-400 missiles on Turkish soil, and more recently over Turkish moves in the eastern Mediterranean, a long-running quarrel over US support for Kurdish militants in Syria seems to have been put on the back burner — for now.
It may be that the NATO allies are so seized with the S-400s — with the United States threatening to unleash an array of sanctions and Turkey refusing to blink — that there is little room to squabble over Syria. More likely it is because their efforts to agree on a proposed safe zone along the Syria-Turkey border have hit a wall.

The ministry has also set up new buildings to house aircraft at the site that will defend against drone attacks, the official was cited as saying.
8/23/2019 - A former Goldman banker and BOE Governor is proposing a one world crypto-currency system such as Libra in the FB endeavors. This would mean that the Mark of the Beast RFID microchip could be rolled out and linked to a digital one world crypto-currency wallet in order to buy or sell under the AntiChrist Government.

"Then along came former Goldman banker and current (outgoing) BOE governor, Mark Carney, who in his lunchtime address laid out a shocking, radical proposal - perhaps the most stunning thing to ever be unveiled at Jackson Hole - urging to replace the US Dollar with a "Libra-like" reserve currency in a dramatic revamp of the global monetary, financial and economic order."
I believe there will be a financial reset (collapse) soon and then a One World Digital Currency for the NWO and everyone will probably have to "chip in" as Obama said, meaning to get the RFID chip (Mark of the Beast) implanted or stamped into your hand or forehead. This is prophesied in Revelation 13. Do not recieve this mark, you cannot be saved if you do.
As various Christian prophecies indicate, America will soon be nuked and invaded by a coalition of nations and Trump will be the scape goat for starting WW3, causing an economic global meltdown, not establishing peace in the Middle East, and inciting Civil War in America.
The October 9 letter was released to the public by the White House on Wednesday. Trump wrote to Erdogan, "Don't be a tough guy" and "Don't be a fool!"
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reportedly rejected US President Donald Trump's letter by throwing it in the garbage, the BBC quoted Turkish sources as saying.
The October 9 letter was released to the public by the White House on Wednesday, in which Trump wrote to Erdogan, “Don’t be a tough guy” and “Don’t be a fool!”
Trump had the letter released to bolster his view that he did not give Turkey a green light to invade Syria. The BBC reported that Turkish presidential sources said the letter was “thoroughly rejected” by Erdogan.
Trump has come under intense criticism, both at home and abroad, since announcing the withdrawal of US troops from Syria – a move which allowed Turkish forces to enter and begin conducting a campaign against Kurdish forces in the region.
“Let’s work out a good deal! You don’t want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don’t want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy – and I will,” Trump wrote in the letter.
Tensions in the Gulf have risen since attacks on oil tankers this summer, including off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, and a major assault on energy facilities in Saudi Arabia. Washington has blamed Iran, which has denied orchestrating the attacks on global energy infrastructure.
In response, the U.S. has deployed thousands of additional military forces to the Middle East, including bombers and air defense personnel to act as a deterrent against what Washington says is provocative Iranian behaviour.
The latest move comes as protests, sparked by gasoline price hikes, have spread across Iran since last Friday, with demonstrators demanding that clerical leaders step down.
11/25/19 - Iran threatens to attack nearby US bases and Saudi Oil facilities. On November 26, the USS Abraham Lincoln docked at Bahrain to stay at a US Base there in the Persian Gulf. It seems the narrative is line with the prophecy.
Iranian officials looking to hit back at the U.S. over crippling economic sanctions and its withdrawal from a nuclear deal initially considered attacking American bases before launching airstrikes on a massive Saudi Arabian oil facility instead, a new report claims.
The decision to target the facility owned by Saudi Arabia’s Aramco state-run oil company on Sept. 14 came after top Iranian military officials huddled for a series of meetings in Tehran – one of which was attended by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ultimately signed off on the attack, officials familiar with the discussions told Reuters.
“It is time to take out our swords and teach them a lesson,” a senior commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps unit reportedly said during the first gathering in May.
Retired four-star Army general Jack Keane explains the turmoil in Iran from an economic and regime front.
12/3/19 - The USS Harry Truman is now ready to relieve the USS Abraham Lincoln and allow the Lincoln to return to San Diego, CA. If the prophecy concerning the USS Lincoln to be destroyed in the Strait of Hormuz is true, it is very possible it will happen before or on the way back to San Diego, CA. It is said that this event will be the start of WW3 and the invasion and nuclear destruction on the USA.

On Sunday, the Navy's 6th Fleet announced the Truman had entered the European area of responsibility "to support maritime security operations in international waters."
"We are ready to continue our steadfast commitment to our allies and partners in U.S. 6th Fleet," said Rear Admiral Andrew Loiselle, Truman Strike Group Commander, in a statement. "These vital sea lanes must remain open for global commerce and prosperity, and nothing in the world is able to foster regional security like a carrier strike group."
The USS Abraham Lincoln, which deployed from Norfolk on April 1 for an around-the-world deployment ending with a homeport shift to San Diego, has seen its deployment extended while waiting to be relieved by the Truman.

12/25/2019 - It seems WW3 is on the precipice as US is stirring up international tensions by pulling out of various nuclear treaties and imposing economic sanctions on Iran, Russia, and China. It seems a very likely confrontation will happen near the Persian Gulf where the US Dollar (Petro-Dollar) is at stake, being backed by Saudi Arabian oil production under suspected harassment by Iran militias. Order out of Chaos is the agenda of the Luciferian elite, and it seems soon chaos will befall the shores of America Babylon (USA) and possibly the destruction of the Abraham Lincoln according to various Christian dreams and visions. See also Jeremiah 51, Revelation 18.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/iran-russia-and-china-team-up-for-military-drills-as-america-boosts-troops-in-saudi-arabia/
Iran's armed forces will hold a joint, four-day naval exercise with Russia and China in the northern part of the Indian Ocean, a spokesman said Wednesday.
The drill, which is to start on Saturday, will be the first such trilateral exercise as Tehran seeks to boost military cooperation with Beijing and Moscow amid unprecedented economic sanctions from Washington. Visits to Iran by Russian and Chinese naval representatives have also stepped up in recent years.
Iranian military spokesman General Abolfazl Shekarchi said the joint maneuvers, which are aimed at promoting regional security, will extend as far as the Sea of Oman. The drill is seen as a response to recent U.S. maneuvers with its regional ally Saudi Arabia, in which China also participated.
In the wake of recent escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf, including attacks on oil vessels and a missile-and-drone assault on the Saudi oil industry, the U.S. has sent a number of American troops to the region and additional missile defense systems to Saudi Arabia.
Washington alleges that Iran carried out the September attack on the world's largest oil processor in the kingdom and an oil field, which caused oil prices to spike by the biggest percentage since the 1991 Gulf War. While Yemen's Iranian-allied Houthi rebels claimed the assault, Saudi Arabia said it was "unquestionably sponsored by Iran."
Iran has denied this and warned that any retaliatory attack targeting it would result in an "all-out war." Tehran, meanwhile, has also begun enriching uranium beyond the terms of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, which the U.S. unilaterally withdrew from over a year ago.

Update #63
12/28/19 - As military and economic tensions might be at an all time high in the Strait of Hormuz between the United States and Iran, Donald Trump is faced with responding to an attack on the US military members in Iraq, and Iran is suspected as the attacker.
This is at the same time Iran, Russia, and China are holding joint naval drills near the Sea of Oman and the Persian Gulf to contest the US Military presence. Quite a few Christian prophecies (Acts 2:17) indicate USS Lincoln will be struck down near the Strait and is stationed near the Coast of Japan at the Moment. This is said to lead to WW3 and the destruction of America Babylon (Revelation 18, Jeremiah 51).
https://m.jpost.com/American-Politics/Trump-in-a-corner-after-rockets-kill-US-contractor-wound-forces-612346
A US civilian contractor was killed and several US service members and Iraqi personnel were wounded in a rocket attack on the K1 base near Kirkuk on Friday night.
It is the most serious escalation in a series of rocket attacks that have targeted bases in Iraq where American and US-led coalition troops are present.
Since May there have been at least a dozen of these attacks. Some wounded Iraqi security forces, but US forces had not suffered casualties before.
Later on the article indicates:
As the investigation unfolds, Trump will be reminded that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has warned Iran repeatedly against attacks on the US in Iraq. In mid-December, Pompeo said the US was reminding Iran’s leaders that “any attacks by them, or their proxies, of any identity, that harm Americans, our allies, or our interests will be answered with a decisive US response.”
On December 6, David Schenker, assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs at the US State Department, indicated that Iran could be behind the attack on Iraq’s Balad air base. In that attack two Katyusha rockets landed inside Balad air base north of Baghdad. “We’re waiting for full evidence, but if past is prologue then there’s a good chance that Iran was behind it.”

Update #64
1/1/2020 - After various military events happen in Iraq concerning the US in the Middle East and Iranian Militias in Afghanistan, WW3 seems closer than ever and the prophecy concerning the destruction of the USS Lincoln near the Strait of Hormuz. We see that a powerful coalition of nations are openly forming in opposition to the USA and their various military threats and sanctions - Iran, Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, and others just as Dimitru Duduman prophesied in the 1980s.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2020/01/afraid-analysts-dismiss-threats-iraq-200101172345472.html
In a sharply worded response to United States President Donald Trump, who alleged Iranian involvement in a rare protest at the US embassy compound in Baghdad, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued an equally strong response - saying Tehran will openly confront any country that threatens its national interests.
Demonstrators who sympathise with or belong to the Iran-backed Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMF), breached the outer walls of the heavily fortified US embassy compound in the Iraqi capital on Tuesday, setting parts of its perimeter on fire - an angry reaction to deadly US air raids days earlier against Kataib Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militia associated with PMF.
Trump on Tuesday warned he would hold Iran responsible "for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities".
On Wednesday, Khamenei said during a public event in Tehran: "For one thing, you are damned wrong because this matter has nothing to do with Iran. "If Iran decides to confront a country, it will do so openly. But everyone must know that we are strongly committed to the country's interests and we shall not hesitate to intervene and deal a blow to any party who attempts to pose a threat to the country." Iran's ministry of foreign affairs meanwhile used diplomatic channels to summon a Swiss envoy representing US interests in Tehran, and issued a "strong protest against warmongering statements."

Update #65
1/2/2019 (US Time) - WW3 seems moments away as the US has launched a precision missile attack on the Baghdad International Airport and took out the Iran General Qassim Suleimani after Iran militia stormed the US Embassy in the same region. US Military is being called into the Perisan Gulf and it is possible the prophecy of the USS Lincoln being destroyed in the Strait of Hormuz could be immenent along with the destruction of America Babylon (Revelation 18, Jeremiah 51) according to various Christian prophecies, dreams, visions (Acts 2:17).
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/01/02/world/middleeast/iraq-baghdad-airport-attack.amp.html
BAGHDAD — Iranian official news media confirmed that a powerful commander of its Revolutionary Guards Corps, Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, was killed in a strike on the Baghdad International Airport early Friday.
The United States carried out the strike, the Pentagon said.
“General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region,” the Pentagon statement said. “General Soleimani and his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more.”
Iraqi and Lebanese television also reported the death, which was confirmed by senior militia leader in Iraq.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/defense-secretary-mark-esper-warns-u-s-military-is-ready-after-embassy-attack-2019-01-02/
"The Iraqi government said at least three rockets hit the Baghdad International Airport on Friday, causing multiple casualties, the Associated Press reports. The rockets landed near the cargo hall, setting two cars on fire. A U.S. official said there are no reports of American casualties.
The missile attack comes after Defense Secretary Mark Esper said the U.S. military will be ready if Iran and its allies plan new attacks, like the one this week at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. More than 700 Army paratroopers are headed to Kuwait, as many as 5,000 more paratroopers and Marines are expected to be sent to the Persian Gulf in the coming days."

Update #66
1/7/2020 - Jewish Press (.com) article indicates that six US fighter jets have left the UAE to possibly respond to the recent Iranian bombings against US military in Iraq. Iran has recently lifted their Red Flag of war and seek revenge as major or cities in Iran mourn the US assassination of Maj. General Soleimani. WW3 seems imminent!!
https://www.jewishpress.com/news/us-news/breaking-us-warplanes-leave-uae-air-base-after-iran-fires-ballistic-missiles-at-us-forces-in-iraq/2020/01/08/
More than six US Air Force F-35A Lightning II fighter jets left Al-Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates at around 2 am Wednesday, according to multiple sources, possibly heading to respond to Tuesday night’s Iranian attack on American targets in Iraq.
The warplanes left the UAE just about two minutes after the Ain Al-Asad Air Base came under rocket and missile fire from Iran, and from a local Iranian proxy militia in Iraq.
There are at least 5,000 American troops in Iraq, according to a report by Fox News. The Pentagon has told reporters there is no plan to withdraw forces at this time; officials told Fox News, “We are defending. We are not leaving.” The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Forces (IRGC), fired at least 12 Fateh-110 ballistic missiles from Iran at various sites where American forces are located, including many which were aimed at Ain Al-Asad.
The Kataib Hezbollah militia, which is the 45th Brigade of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Unit (PMU) and an Iranian proxy group, fired at least 40 Katyusha rockets at the base as well.
The missiles exploded in the US military camp in Ain Al-Asad, which hosts US and UK personnel as well as Iraqi forces, according to Middle East defense correspondent Babak Taghvaee.
Ain Al-Asad was not the only military base that was attacked, however; two other bases in use by the US Army in and near Erbil were also targeted by the Iranian IRGC Aerospace Base.
The attack is seen as the “official launch” of the start of Iran’s “Operation Soleimani” – the military operation intended to wreak vengeance on the United States in retaliation for last week’s targeted killing of IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani.

Update #67
1/2020 - Just weeks after Iran, Russia, and China held joint naval drills in opposition to the US presence near the Persian Gulf, Russia taunts US Navy in the region. There are approximately 10-15 Christian dreams and visions indicating that the USS Lincoln Aircraft Carrier will be destroyed soon near the Strait of Hormuz soon and will occur around the time Russia, China and a coalition destroy the USA. The IRGC also surrounded and "harassed" the USS Lincoln with 20 vessels in early December 2019 in the Strait.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/10/politics/russian-warship-us-aircraft-carrier-video/index.html
(CNN)A Russian warship "aggressively approached" a US Navy destroyer while it was operating in the North Arabian Sea Thursday, ignoring warnings from the US vessel and increasing the risk of a collision, the US Navy said Friday.
Video of the incident, which was obtained by CNN, shows the Russian warship rapidly approaching the USS Farragut, coming as close as 180 feet to the US ship before changing course, according to two defense officials.
The incident is the latest example of a close encounter between US and Russian military forces that American officials have described as unsafe and provocative.
It comes roughly seven months after another incident in the Pacific when US and Russian warships came so close the US ship had to perform an emergency maneuver to avoid a collision.

Update #68
Mr Makki has described reports suggesting “the attack was apparently ‘huge’”
“The attack has been described as ‘fierce’ and ‘violent’.”
"It was the U.S. that caused such an incident to take place," Iran's state-controlled news agency Tasnim quoted President Hassan Rouhani as saying. The Iranian regime has blamed the Trump administration for ratcheting up tensions with the controversial decision to kill senior Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in a January 2 drone strike in Baghdad.

Update #69
1/21/2020 - Trump who claims to be a Christian has sparked tensions between Iran, Russia, China, North Korea and others via economic sanctions and haughty words. Meanwhile Trump is undergoing impeachment trials in the Senate beginning today. This seems to line up with the Dimitru Duduman prophesy of the 1980s where America will be destroyed (Revelation 18) by Russia and a coalition when the Government is busy dealing with an internal revolution.

DUBAI (Reuters) - An Iranian lawmaker offered a $3 million reward to anyone who killed U.S. President Donald Trump and said Iran could avoid threats if it had nuclear arms, ISNA news agency reported on Tuesday amid Tehran's latest standoff with Washington.
U.S. disarmament ambassador Robert Wood dismissed the reward as "ridiculous", telling reporters in Geneva it showed the "terrorist underpinnings" of Iran's establishment.
Tensions have escalated since Trump in 2018 pulled the United States out of a multilateral 2015 agreement meant to contain Iran's nuclear program, saying it was flawed, then reimposed heavy U.S. sanctions on Tehran. The standoff erupted into tit-for-tat military strikes earlier this month.

Update #70
1/26/2020 - After attacks and threats go back and forth between Iran and the United States, another rocket was fired at a US Embassy in Iraq. Keep in mind that the new Soleimani replacement of the Quds Force has warned of a "manly" retaliation for the assassination of Iranian General Soleimani. Also, the red flag of war has been raised up in Iran while Iranian MP offers 3 million dollars for the head of President Trump, all the while American Military Officials threatened retaliation on anyone who harms US Soldiers.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/01/26/us-embassy-baghdad-hit-rocket-attack/amp/
Three rockets slammed into the US embassy in Iraq's capital on Sunday in the first direct hit reported after months of close calls, as thousands kept up anti-government sit-ins across the country.
The attack marked a dangerous escalation in the spree of rocket attacks in recent months that have targeted the embassy or Iraqi military bases where American troops are deployed.
None of the attacks has been claimed but Washington has repeatedly blamed Iran-backed military factions in Iraq.
On Sunday, one rocket hit an embassy cafeteria at dinner time while two others landed nearby, a security source told AFP.
A senior Iraqi official told AFP at least one person was wounded, but it was not immediately clear how serious the injuries were and whether the person was an American national or an Iraqi staff member working at the mission.
The US embassy did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The attack took place earlier in the day than usual, with AFP reporters hearing the booms on the western bank of the river Tigris at precisely 7:30 pm (1630 GMT).
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/01/24/world/middleeast/iran-iraq-troops-brain-injuries.amp.html
WASHINGTON — The Defense Department said Friday that 34 American service members have traumatic brain injuries from Iranian airstrikes on Al Asad Air Base in Iraq, contradicting President Trump’s dismissal of injuries among American troops this week.
A Pentagon spokesman, Jonathan Hoffman, told a news conference that eight of the affected service members have returned to the United States from an American military hospital in Germany.
On Wednesday, Mr. Trump dismissed concussion symptoms felt by the troops as “not very serious,” even as the Pentagon acknowledged that a number of American service members were being studied for possible traumatic brain injury caused by the attack.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/world/2020/1/23/21078613/iran-hook-soleimani-trump-kill
The Trump administration’s top envoy for Iran just put assassination back on the table when he said the US will take out the successor to slain Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani — if the successor continues along the path of killing Americans.
That forceful message, delivered by Brian Hook during an interview with the Asharq al-Awsat newspaper in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday, serves as a stark warning to Tehran — and could conceivably increase tensions with the US.
If new Quds Force Commander Esmail Ghaani “follows a similar path of killing Americans, he will meet the same fate,” Hook said. “The president has made clear for years that any attacks against American personnel or interests in the region will be met with a decisive response.”
“This is not a new threat,” Hook continued. “I think the regime now understands that they cannot attack America at will, and expect to get away with it. So we will hold the regime and its proxies accountable for any attacks on Americans, or on American interests in the region.”

2/2020 - As the war tensions between the USA and Iran, Russia, and China increases so will America be divided and in chaos, especially after trying to divide Jerusalem with Trump's "Peace Deal" (see Zech 12:3). As a powerful coalition of nations are forming against America, it will ultimately take it out in one hour (Revelation 18, Jeremiah 51) by a nuclear invasion according to various Christian prophetic messages - Dimitru Duduman, Henry Gruver, A A Allen, Monique Bizet, Maurice Sklar, etc.
Meanwhile, the political divide in the USA increases as Nancy Pelosi rips up her copy of the State of the Union Address after Trump's speech in early February. Signaling a weakened and divided America. Similar to Duduman's 1980 prophecy.

Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Ali Hosseini suggested a union between Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Turkey and China. Speaking at the Islamabad Strategic Studies Institute (ISSI) on Tuesday, Mr Hosseini urged the countries to utilise their “great potential and existing opportunities”. Mr Hosseini claimed a new bloc could have the potential to form a new alliance for a better future in the region.
Mr Hosseini condemned the US for last month’s killing of General Soleimani.
He said: “Once again they have proved to everyone that they have no obligation and respect to international rules and laws.
“The crime was not only to attack the national sovereignty of Iraq but also to target one of the elements ‘providing security’ in this region subject to different conspiracies from al Qaeda to ISIS and Al-Nusra Front.”
The ambassador believed regional issues such as narcotics, terrorism and sectarianism have been exploited dextrously to undermine Iran’s peace and tranquillity.

Update #73
3/12/2020 - It seems the Red Horse of WAR (Revelation 6) could be unleashed at any moment as tensions continue even amidst a Coronavirus Pandemic and a tanking economy. Russia, China, and Iran have recently come together in opposition to the US presence in the Middle East, specifically the Strait or Hormuz as Trump is strong arming them with Economic sanctions and pulling out of Nuclear Arms treaties. It seems WW3 and the destruction of America is soon (Revelation 18, Jeremiah 51).
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/03/12/world/middleeast/military-iran-iraq.amp.html
WASHINGTON — United States warplanes struck five targets in southern Iraq on Thursday night, hitting back at an Iraqi militia with ties to Iran that is believed to have been part of a rocket attack on Wednesday that killed two Americans and a British soldier, American officials said.
The airstrikes, which were supported by the British military, targeted the militia Kataib Hezbollah and facilities that were believed to store the type of rockets used in the attack on coalition forces on Wednesday. It is not known how many militia members, if any, were killed, a military official said.
“The United States will not tolerate attacks against our people, our interests or our allies,” Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper said in a statement after the strikes.
Mr. Esper’s language falls in line with a now familiar pattern as Washington moves to curb malign efforts from Iran and its proxies across the region.
But ultimately, the effort has translated into a violent tit-for-tat exchange with an outcome that is anything but clear.
A Defense Department official said the strikes were specifically designed to be punishing and retaliatory — but not to escalate into a conflict with Iran. Another military official noted that the attack was ordered at night in Iraq with the intention of minimizing civilian casualties.
Kataib Hezbollah released a statement on Thursday praising those who had carried out the strikes on Wednesday, though the group denied responsibility. That strike was “a precision jihadi operation,” the statement said. It also signaled that the group hoped to see an increase in operations against the American presence in Iraq.

Update #74 (May 2020)
May 2020 - It appears the many Christian dreams and visions regarding the USS Lincoln being destroyed by Iran/Russia in the Strait of Hormuz is very much still on the table! It is said this will happen around the time of the nuclear bombing and invasion by Russia, China, and others on American soil (Revelation 18). The Red Horse is soon to ride!

However, Iran can respond to US pressure by attacking ships in the Persian Gulf or striking at US forces in Iraq or US allies and partners. This is how Iran has responded in the past.
It has not been explained what connection the cyberattack on the Iranian port where the ships were loaded has to the current crisis at sea. Iran had been trying to get the Shahid Rajaee Port online for greater production.

5/28/2020 - Iran continues to threaten the US Navy, as tensions continue to rise over the Pandemic woes and economic sanctions. Russia and China also seem to be in military opposition as well with the US. According to various Christian prophecies, the USS Lincoln and another will be destroyed by Iran or Russia in the Persian gulf, which will lead to the sudden destruction of the USA by means of a nuclear invasion on both coasts according to Revelation 18 (Prophecies by Dimitru Duduman, Henry Gruver, A A Allen, Monique Bizet, Maurice Sklar, etc).

Russian Senator Vladimir Dzhabarov said the US' decision to end sanctions waivers that had allowed some work to proceed at Iranian nuclear sites will only provoke Tehran into developing nuclear weapons, according to Interfax . Mr Dzhabarov warned the move by the US would trigger Tehran into creating a "nuclear bomb, unequivocally" as tensions reach boiling point.
He said: "The US is pushing them and in the end they are provoking Iran to create a nuclear bomb, unequivocally."
He said Russia would continue to cooperate with Iran.
The remarks come after the US on Wednesday terminated waivers that allowed Russian, Chinese and European companies to carry out work originally designed to make it harder for Iranian nuclear sites to be used for weapons development

Update #14
According to an article by the National Iranian American Council, Donald Trump and John Bolton are doing anything they can to start war with Iran. It seems the world alliances are being set, not in America's favor, and WW3 is imminent.
"Time is running out. Trump, alongside Iraq-war architect John Bolton and his cabal of hawks, are doing everything in their power to stoke a war with Iran. The Trump administration has threatened Iran with “unrelenting force" and imposed new sanctions designed to punish ordinary Iranians, making it even more imperative that we act now.
The National Iranian American Council has a proven track record of advancing peace and diplomacy with Iran. Since our founding in 2002, we have worked with lawmakers at all levels, including advising the Obama administration to pave the way for the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
We are working closely with our allies and friends in Congress to advance legislation that would block an unauthorized war with Iran. With the situation growing more dangerous by the day, it is vital that we make our voices heard and demand officials block Trump's path to war."
Update #15
"The United States is sending 1,000 additional troops to the Middle East, amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The decision follows last week's attack on two tankers in the Gulf of Oman that the U.S. blamed on Tehran, with the Pentagon releasing new images on Monday that officials said show Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members removing an unexploded mine from one of the ship's hulls."

Update #16
As tensions rise between the USA and Iran, the world teeters on the brink of WW3. Alliances seem to be forming against USA as Iran, Russia, China, and others have solidified ties as of late. Donald Trump has been speaking provocative things to each of these countries.
"Tensions in the Gulf have been heightened since 13 June, when the US accused Iran of attacking two tankers in the the Gulf of Oman with mines. The US military released footage it said showed the Iranian military removing an unexploded mine from the side of one of the tankers.
Saudi Arabia, Iran’s arch rival, blamed Tehran for the attack. On 16 June Mohammed bin Salman vowed Saudi Arabia “won’t hesitate to deal with any threat” to the kingdom’s interests. Iran has denied any involvement.
News of the Saudi missile came as Iran claimed to have shot down a US drone.
Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported the country’s Revolutionary Guard shot down a the drone when it entered Iranian airspace near the Kouhmobarak district in southern Iran’s Hormozgan province."

Iran “won’t be alone” if the United States decides to launch a military strike on the Islamic republic, a senior Russian diplomat said on Wednesday.
U.S. President Donald Trump targeted Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top Iranian officials with sanctions on Monday. The dramatic step to increase pressure on Iran follows Tehran’s downing of an unmanned American drone last week, which Russia said had violated Iranian airspace. On Tuesday, Trump threatened to obliterate parts of Iran if it attacked "anything American," but later left the door open for talks.

Tensions continue to mount as WW3 is on the verge.. Economic sanctions could do a devastating blow to the world economy as the Strait of Hormuz is the leading oil export channel.
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/iran-strikes-back-against-america-war-coming-middle-east-64671
Iran’s oil exports have diminished to one-fifth their previous level, from 2.5 million barrels per day to 500,000. The sanctions also scared away most European investment, even though European signatories to the nuclear deal still adhere to the JCPOA. This has resulted in a devastating recession, with Iran’s economy shrinking 4-6 percent and Iranian citizens being affected by 40-60 percent inflation, and unemployment projected to rise from 12 to 26 percent.
But though the sanctions imposed by Washington inflicted the intended damage, they succeeded only in angering, not cowing, Iran’s leaders.
Just as the United States’s stark political divisions arguably were decisive in Trump’s withdrawal from the Obama-era JCPOA, Iran’s competing power centers were divided over the agreement. Those supporting limited compromises with West have been made to look foolish, giving ammunition to the hardline religious factions and their Revolutionary Guard Corps paramilitaries.
Thus, Tehran is now retaliating with a “maximum pressure” campaign of its own. Iran cannot use sanctions to punish America, but it can inflict economic pain by threatening the valuable shipping lanes running from Persian Gulf ports, through the straits of Hormuz, and into the Gulf of Oman.

Russia is ready to deliver S-400 air defence systems to Iran, but it has not received a relevant request from Iran yet, the press service of the Russian Federal Service of Military-Technical Cooperation told Sputnik on Friday.
“We are open for discussions on delivering S-400 Triumph air defence systems, including to Iran. Especially given that this equipment is not subject to restrictions outlined in UN Security Council’s resolution, issued on June 20, 2015. We have not received an official request from our partners on this matter yet,” a representative of the press service said during the International Military-Technical Forum Army-2019, which is currently being held outside Moscow.

Iran has breached the limit on its stockpile of low-enriched uranium set under a 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, according to sources. The breach comes less than a day after senior US allies of the White House had warned that Israel would strike Tehran as soon as the uranium limit was breached There is growing concern that now Iran had crossed the uranium red line, Israel could soon step up its military confrontation with a strike on Iran.
Last night, Israeli jets targeted Iranian-linked military bases from Lebanese airspace.
According to Syrian state media, four civilians were killed and 21 injured in Israeli missile strikes near the Syrian cities of Damascus and Homs.
Israel has refused to comment on the strikes, but has previously said it will not allow Iranto entrench itself in Syria.
The facilities hit were linked to Iranian forces, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a Britain-based monitoring group.

July 2, 2019 - This could potentially turn into something big, perhaps a trigger for WW3?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-europe-48844013
A fire aboard a Russian navy research submersible has killed 14 crew members, the Russian defence ministry says.
The crew were poisoned by fumes as the vessel was taking measurements in Russian territorial waters on Monday.
The ministry gave no details about the type of vessel. But Russian media reports say it was a nuclear mini-submarine used for special operations.
The fire was later put out and the vessel is now at Severomorsk, the main base of the Russian Northern Fleet.
The defence ministry did not say how many crew members were aboard at the time.
An investigation into the incident has begun under the commander-in-chief of the navy.
Russian President Vladimir Putin later on Tuesday pulled out of a scheduled event in the Tver region, north-west of Moscow, to discuss the issue with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.
Mr Putin described the incident as a big loss for the Russian Navy, and expressed "sincere condolences" to the victims' families.
Seven captains and two service personnel awarded Russia's highest honorary title, Hero of the Russian Federation, were among those who died on board the vessel, the president said.

(Channel - Urgent Words from Lord Jesus)
Vision received late/early 26 January 2016:
I see a submarine lifting up out of the water. I see dead soldiers and I see people coming out of the submarine looking like they couldn’t breathe. I hear from the Holy Spirit, “the Chinese will sabotage the Russian submarine and blame it on the U.S.”
Amos 9:10, All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
Please take this Word into prayer.
Luke 2:49, And He said unto them, How is it that ye sought Me? Wist ye not that I must be about My Father’s Business?
I received this Word from Father God Yahweh at 3:47 pm on 26 January 2016:
Daughter of Mine Own Heart, write My, Father Yahweh’s Important and Inerrant Words for My Children to hear, see, experience, and to take in:
My Son’s Love is tremendous for you, O’ inhabitants of the earth. His love is greater than the tallest mountain, more vast than all the expanse of the heavens, and it is deeper than the very depths of your souls. That’s how much God loves you, and even more than that. My Son Yeshua subjected Himself to live under man here on earth, while He was growing up in His Earthly Body. Never forget that He, God Almighty, left His Glory, to come and dwell with men and suffer and die for all of the world’s sins. He is Your Very Messiah. Unfortunately, My Israel is still waiting for Him to appear the first time. They have been partially blinded for bringing My Gentiles into My Son’s Grace and Glory, and Everlasting Life. But they will soon know the Truth. My Son, the One Who came and died and I raised Him up many thousands of years ago; they will know Who He is. My Son was slain before the foundations of earth. God had all of this planned out before I created any human. God knows all things. I know when the enemy tries to be sneaky, for satan still thinks he might win. To this, let me remind you My Children, that My Son has the Victory. If you are in My Son Yeshua, you have the victory you need to overcome any situation in His Victorious and Ever So Mighty Name. I have given My Daughter a vision of a catalyst that brings the war to the Americans. When I gave her the vision, she asked Me if this is what starts the war, and I said No, but it helps bring on the hatred between Russia and the US, as it is already in the air. That is what war is about; it is haughty and it is evil hatred; it is about saving face. Be prepared America, this is coming. My Son had given My Daughter a Message for all His Children to get prepared. This Message will be given out very soon now; as My Daughter is attune to everything her Mighty God tells her.
Father God Yahweh Elohim, preparing His Children of earth for what is coming, has spoken!

Putting a spotlight on the Strait of Hormuz which is linked to the Persian Gulf oil exports from middle eastern countries.
The vessel was stormed by British Royal Marines and Gibraltar port and law enforcement agencies in the early hours of Thursday morning as it was believed to have been carrying oil to Syria, in possible violation of European Union sanctions.

Jahromi followed this with similar comments in Beijing a few days later, when he met his opposite number Miao Wei. The ministers discussed “common challenges” in the face of “U.S. unilateralism,” of which Jahromi said, “we are facing similar challenges, so we need to find common solutions.” The Iranian minister accused the U.S. of “spreading its hegemony on new strategic technologies such as artificial intelligence,” and criticized Washington’s actions against Huawei and ZTE.
Miao Wei reportedly stressed that cooperation between the two countries would help tackle “such threats and pressures.”

7/7/19 - Nuclear talks and WW3 tensions are continuing to increase as Iran threatens to reduce compliance in the nuclear deal unless other nations oppose President Trump's economic sanctions on Iran as punishment for shooting down a US drone and alleged oil tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian officials said they would, within hours, start enriching uranium above the limits set under a 2015 international nuclear deal, the latest in a series of potentially fatal stab-wounds in the agreement. They also said Iran would keep reducing its compliance with the deal every 60 days unless world powers shield it from the sanctions that Trump reimposed after quitting the agreement last year.
“We are fully prepared to enrich uranium at any level and with any amount,” said Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman for Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, according to media reports.
It’s an approach that has left the two countries at risk of an eventual military confrontation.

As Turkey and the United States continue to spar over the imminent arrival of Russian made S-400 missiles on Turkish soil, and more recently over Turkish moves in the eastern Mediterranean, a long-running quarrel over US support for Kurdish militants in Syria seems to have been put on the back burner — for now.
It may be that the NATO allies are so seized with the S-400s — with the United States threatening to unleash an array of sanctions and Turkey refusing to blink — that there is little room to squabble over Syria. More likely it is because their efforts to agree on a proposed safe zone along the Syria-Turkey border have hit a wall.

7/12/2019 - Tensions continue to rise as oil tankers from various nations are being attacked in the Strait of Hormuz which transports roughly 1/3rd of the global oil. Lines are being drawn as a coalition of nations are opposing America and Israel, some of the nations are Iran, Russia, Turkey, China, and others.
"The Trump administration is planning to send US Navy ships to help escort oil tankers in the Gulf in order to protect them from possible Iranian aggression. But some experts warn the move could cost a lot of money and risk pulling the US and Iran into a war neither wants."
"This new effort is a response to a recent spate of suspected attacks on oil tankers in recent months that the US and others have blamed on Iran (a charge Iran denies). Six oil tankers sailing through that region have been damaged since May in apparent sabotage operations amid a months-long standoff between the US and Iran.
And just this week, the United Kingdom said it had thwarted an Iranian attempt to block a British tanker from proceeding in the Strait of Hormuz. According to the Washington Post, the tanker was approaching the northern entrance to the strait when the British naval ship accompanying it “was forced to position herself between the Iranian vessels” and the ship, a government statement said. Tehran has also denied any involvement in that episode."

Update #33
7/16/19 - Tensionscontinue between USA and various countries in the middle east. British Royal Marines also provoked Iran by seizing an Iranian Oil Tanker as 1/5th of all global crude oil is at stake.
A small oil tanker that stopped transmitting its location more than two days ago while traveling through a vital waterway near the Persian Gulf didn't emit a distress call, causing U.S. officials to suspect Iran may have seized the vessel, American defense officials said Tuesday.
The MT Riah, a Panamanian-flagged vessel based in the United Arab Emirates, was traveling Saturday night through the Strait of Hormuz when its tracking system went dark. The disappearance could add to already-heightened tensions between Iran and Western nations in the region.
"Could it have broken down or been towed for assistance? That's a possibility," an unidentified U.S. official told The Associated Press. "But the longer there is a period of no contact. It's going to be a concern."
If Iran did seize the ship, it's apt to be the latest in a series of provocations involving oil tankers in the region. Iran has threatened to stop tankers in the strait if it is not allowed to sell its own oil abroad.
Around 20 percent of all crude oil passes through the strait.
The 190-foot tanker stopped transmitting its location around 11 p.m. as tracking data showed its last position pointing toward Iran.
"That is a red flag," said Capt. Ranjith Raja of the data firm Refinitiv. He said the tanker had not switched off its tracker in three months of trips around the U.A.E.

7/20/19 - Battle lines are being drawn as Iran, Russia, Turkey, China all seem to be joining hands against what appears to be a US Offensive against Iran over various conflicts near the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz.
Russia has warned that mounting tensions in the Persian Gulf could lead to an all-out confrontation as the United States and Iran argue over competing claims regarding the downing of one another's drones and other instances of unrest.
President Donald Trump first revealed Thursday that Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Boxer"took defensive action against an Iranian drone which had closed into a very near distance, approximately 1000 yards, ignoring multiple calls to stand down and was threatening the safety of the ship and the ship's crew." The president said that "the drone was immediately destroyed" and urged international support against Iran in the Persian Gulf.
Russia, which joined China, the European Union, France, Germany and the United Kingdom in continuing to support a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran abandoned by last year by the Trump administration, has repeatedly called on both sides to de-escalate, but has especially blamed the U.S.for an increasingly dire situation in the region. On Friday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Moscow had "taken note of" Trump's recent remarks.

7/23/18 - South Korea, an ally of USA, is now sparring off with Russia and China in the Asian airways. At the 2009 G-20 London summit, U.S. President Barack Obama called South Korea "one of America's closest allies and greatest friends. It seems as though Russia, China, Iran, and Turkey are joining themselves together in opposition of USA and it's allies.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff issued a statement claiming they had fired more than 300 warning shots at a Russian A-50 command and control military aircraft early Tuesday morning after it had twice violated the country's airspace, the first such incident between the countries.
Moscow furiously denied Seoul's account of the encounter, claiming that South Korean military jets had dangerously intercepted two of its bombers during a planned flight over neutral waters.
In response, South Korea deployed F-15F and KF-16 fighter jets, the statement said, and fired 360 warning shots ahead of the Russian aircraft, 80 during the first violation and 280 during the second. The shots were fired using 20mm weapons, according to the country's Ministry of Defense.
The South Korean military said they also sent out 30 warnings to the Russian plane but received no response. The A-50 is an unarmed AWACS plane, standing for Airborne Warning and Control System, designed for tracking and observation.
In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed its aircraft had taken part in a "joint patrol" with Chinese long-range aircraft and said that they were conducting the "first joint air patrol using long range aircraft in the Asian-Pacific region."

The Speaker of Iranian parliament, Ali Larijani, has once again relished the thought of "looking to East", and dreaming about a long term "strategic relationship" between Tehran and Beijing.
“Looking to East”, and dreaming of a closer relationship with China and Russia have always been a favorite refrain for the Islamic Republic's officials, especially when they find themselves facing outside pressures.
Immediately after meeting the head of the International Liaison Department of the Communist Party of China, Song Tao, on July 30, in Tehran, Larijani asserted, "Consultations between Iran, China, and cooperation of certain friendly countries can help counter the U.S. animosity and neutralize its consequences, " adding, "However, success of this plan is contingent upon practical steps."
Furthermore, Larijani underscored that the Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has always insisted on the necessity of establishing closer ties with Beijing.

8/13/19 - Russia and Iran have seemed to join hands to war against the USA and UK presence in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. All if this occurring as America is splitting at the seems from the Left and the Right, and would be quite vulnerable for a military invasion.
Parallel with diplomacy, Moscow has taken more concrete measures to insert itself into Persian Gulf affairs and to carve out a place for itself in the region and a role in future decisions regarding regional security together with other great powers, notably the United States and the European Union.
In this context, Iran has been a key part of this more assertive Russian strategy in the Persian Gulf. Iran already has close, albeit highly unequal and one-sided (in Russia's favor), relations with Moscow. In the Syrian civil war, Iran has demonstrated its usefulness for Moscow by supporting Bashar al-Assad, and at least on one occasion Tehran allowed Russian aircraft to use its air base for its operations in Syria.
Following a trip to Moscow approximately two weeks ago by the commander of the Iranian navy, Daryadar Hossien Khanzadi, it was reported in the Iranian press that Tehran and Moscow have signed a secret military agreement, the details of which are as yet unknown.
Regardless of whether such an agreement has been reached and what it exactly entails, Khanzadi's trip to Moscow had one concrete result-Iran and Russia will conduct joint military maneuvers in the Persian Gulf by the end of the current year.

THE PENTAGON – Officials in Tokyo have requested Marines deploy F-35B fighters aboard Japan’s largest warships, a U.S. defense official confirmed to USNI News on Friday.
The service is now studying the feasibility of deploying short take-off vertical landing (STOVL) fighters from JS Izumo (DDH-183) and JS Kaga (DDH-184), Japan’s 24,000-ton big deck amphibious.
This move seems to upset China and be seen as an offensive.
For Japan, the move comes as the Chinese expand their regional naval ambitions.
“Chinese naval capabilities are growing rapidly in the region and I think this is an important step in strengthening the US-Japanese alliance. The Japanese acquisition of F-35Bs will enhance their maritime and aviation capabilities in the region and will further bolster interoperability between Japanese and U.S. military forces,” Eric Wertheim, author of U.S. Naval Institute’s Combat Fleets, told USNI News, Friday. “It will also help ease the burden on U.S. assets that are stretched thin responding to a long list of global crises.”
Beijing has been critical of Japan’s move to put fighters on the two warships saying that they could be considered an attack platform and a violation of Japan’s pacifist constitution.

Sudden destruction is coming, turn away from all sin and call upon Jesus today!!
A top Iranian commander warned on Sunday that Tehran was prepared for an all-out war with the United States and said his country could launch advanced missiles at US bases and aircraft carriers within a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,242 miles).
The statement appeared to be a response to Washington casting blame on Iran Saturday after Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched drone attacks on the world’s largest oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia and a major oil field, sparking huge fires at a vulnerable chokepoint for global energy supplies.

Update #46
September 2019 - It appears the battle lines are apparent as Israel, Saudi Arabia, and USA spar off with super powers Russia, Iran, China, and most likely North Korea as well. WW3 is Imminent, and America is as a tinderbox with a match to be dropped inside to set it a blaze. America will be destroyed by this coalition according to many Christian dreams and vision (Gruver, Allen, Duduman):
• Jeremiah 50-51
• Revelation 18
• Revelation 18
It was an audacious assault on the world’s largest oil production plant.
The Sept. 14 attack on Saudi Arabia at Abqaiq and Khurais, the world’s largest processing and oil production centers, halted more than half of the country’s oil production. The loss of 5.7 million barrels a day of oil exports makes it the single largest oil supply disruption in history. This loss of oil represents nearly 5% of the world’s total daily oil supply. The U.S. and some of its allies have reasons to believe Iran’s political regime is responsible for the unprovoked attack and counter measures need to be taken immediately.
Some countries are positioning themselves with Iran, such as China, which established a line of credit of $400 billion with Iran. This makes it possible, according to Iranian.com, “for Chinese investors to undertake projects in Iran without bidding.” This line of credit, at the same time, directly pays for access to political influence at the highest levels and grants access to oil at the lowest prices.
Russia, too, is anxious to leverage Iranian desperation to its advantage. At a press conference on Sept. 16, Russian President Vladimir Putin, a longtime supporter of the Iranian regime, joked in front of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani about how he was “ready to provide appropriate assistance” to Saudi Arabia after the attack. Putin suggested the Saudis buy Russian surface-to-air missiles like Iran and Turkey. Leonid Bershidsky wrote in Bloomberg that this wasn’t just humor. “Putin was trying to persuade the entire Middle East that working with him is more effective than cooperating with the U.S.”

The terrifying weapon is designed to attack vessels up to 5,000 tonnes.
Tensions between the West and Russia have been on a knife-edge since US President Donald Trump withdrew the US from a nuclear accord known as the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF).
Tensions are also high in the Middle East as it was revealed on Thursday Russia is to expand its Hmeimim airbase in Syria as conflict rages in the beleaguered region.
Moscow is expanding its military capabilities in Syria and rebuilding a second landing strip to allow the facility to serve more aircraft, Russian news agencies cited an unnamed Defence Ministry official as saying on Thursday.
The ministry has also set up new buildings to house aircraft at the site that will defend against drone attacks, the official was cited as saying.
Thirty fighter planes and helicopters are currently deployed at the base, he added.

President Trump, the globalist controlled opposition, will be the NWO scapegoat and will be blamed for starting WW3, provoking a financial collapse, being unable to bring peace to the middle east, and causing the division and destruction of America (Revelation 18) cause the Christians to be painted as unstable threats to society. Obama will be seen as the Knight in shinning armor and will rise as the AntiChrist, sign the peace treaty with Israel and many for 7 years (Daniel 9:27), put the Christian's to death, decieve the world with an alien (demonic hybrid) deception (2 Thess 2), and rule the nations until Jesus returns with His Saints (Revelation 19).

8/23/2019 - A former Goldman banker and BOE Governor is proposing a one world crypto-currency system such as Libra in the FB endeavors. This would mean that the Mark of the Beast RFID microchip could be rolled out and linked to a digital one world crypto-currency wallet in order to buy or sell under the AntiChrist Government.
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-23/unprecedented-shocking-proposal-boes-mark-carney-urges-replacing-dollar-libra
"Then along came former Goldman banker and current (outgoing) BOE governor, Mark Carney, who in his lunchtime address laid out a shocking, radical proposal - perhaps the most stunning thing to ever be unveiled at Jackson Hole - urging to replace the US Dollar with a "Libra-like" reserve currency in a dramatic revamp of the global monetary, financial and economic order."
I believe there will be a financial reset (collapse) soon and then a One World Digital Currency for the NWO and everyone will probably have to "chip in" as Obama said, meaning to get the RFID chip (Mark of the Beast) implanted or stamped into your hand or forehead. This is prophesied in Revelation 13. Do not recieve this mark, you cannot be saved if you do.

Update #50
10/2019 - President Trump is not only warring with Iran with steep economic sanctions, imposing a trade war with China, pulling out of the INF Treaty which alarmed Russia, but now Trump is threatening economic sanctions on Turkey and sending threatening letters to Turkish President Erdogan. All the while these countries are uniting for the Gog and MaGog alliance (Ezekiel 38).
As various Christian prophecies indicate, America will soon be nuked and invaded by a coalition of nations and Trump will be the scape goat for starting WW3, causing an economic global meltdown, not establishing peace in the Middle East, and inciting Civil War in America.
The October 9 letter was released to the public by the White House on Wednesday. Trump wrote to Erdogan, "Don't be a tough guy" and "Don't be a fool!"
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reportedly rejected US President Donald Trump's letter by throwing it in the garbage, the BBC quoted Turkish sources as saying.
The October 9 letter was released to the public by the White House on Wednesday, in which Trump wrote to Erdogan, “Don’t be a tough guy” and “Don’t be a fool!”
Trump had the letter released to bolster his view that he did not give Turkey a green light to invade Syria. The BBC reported that Turkish presidential sources said the letter was “thoroughly rejected” by Erdogan.
Trump has come under intense criticism, both at home and abroad, since announcing the withdrawal of US troops from Syria – a move which allowed Turkish forces to enter and begin conducting a campaign against Kurdish forces in the region.
“Let’s work out a good deal! You don’t want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don’t want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy – and I will,” Trump wrote in the letter.

Update #51
10/23/2019 - It is no secret that things are heating up between the Republicans and Democrats, all the while military tensions continue to rise internationally. It seems we are on the precipice of a Presidential Coup as well as massive civil unrest. It was prophesied by Dimitru Duduman in 1983 that America would be busy dealing with an internal revolution when Russia and a coalition of nations would nuke and invade America (Revelation 18, Jeremiah 51). Be rapture ready at all times, and endure affliction for the name of Jesus!
Partisan political division and the resulting incivility has reached a low in America, with 67% believing that the nation is nearing civil war, according to a new national survey.
“The majority of Americans believe that we are two-thirds of the way to being on the edge of civil war. That to me is a very pessimistic place,” said Mo Elleithee, the executive director of Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service.
And worse, he said in announcing the results of the institute’s Battleground Poll, the political division is likely to make the upcoming 2020 presidential race the nastiest in modern history.

10/27/2019 - Tensions continue to escalate as North Korea is threatening to nuke America at any moment.
North Korea is growing impatient with the U.S. over stalled nuclear talks and what it says are contentious policies and one-sided disarmament demands, a senior Hermit Kingdom official said Sunday local time.
Kim Yong Chol said in a statement there has been no progress in U.S.-North Korea relations. He warned that the cordial relationship between dictator Kim Jong Un and President Trump wouldn't be enough to prevent nuclear diplomacy from failing, threatening that "there could be the exchange of fire at any moment."
North Korea set a year-end deadline to find common ground and mutual terms for the possible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Chol said Sunday the U.S. would be "seriously mistaken" to ignore the deadline.

Update #53
11/7/19 - Oil is still a point of contention between many nations. The Syria oil fields have given reason to leave US soldiers in the region which is Increasing international tensions. It seems Isaiah 17:1 is nearing completion along with a powerful Gog and MaGog alliance (Ezekiel 38) of Iran, Russia, and Turkey, where they seek the spoils of Israel (perhaps oil). This is after a summer of intense acts of war in the Strait of Hormuz, and then attacks on the Saudi Oil Factories have spurred provocative war talk between Iran and the USA.
It seems the international oil Supply could be the point of contention that spurs World War 3 and the destruction of America (Revelation 18).
At a Mississippi rally in September, Trump that he’d like American troops to return home, but that the U.S. was in Syria to defend its oil fields. “I like oil”, he said. He was referring to oil fields in northern Syria, which until recently were under the control of Kurdish rebel forces. For the sake of these oil fields, Trump decided to leave behind some of the units that had started pulling out of Syria.
Russia was furious and accused the U.S. of illegal activity – stealing $30-40 million a month, money that rightfully belongs to the Syrian regime, according to Moscow. Defense Secretary Mike Esper warned Russia and Syria not to come close to these oil fields. The U.S. doesn’t really need this oil, as it produces all it needs itself. But maintaining control over oil fields in Deir El-Zor and al-Hasakah gives the U.S. an excuse to leave some forces in Syria. In light of the harsh criticism of Trump’s decision to withdraw from that country, his love of oil may actually increase American presence in the region.

Update #54
11/19/2019 - WATCH WARNING - The USS Abraham Lincoln has made its' way back into the Strait of Hormuz. According to the website link at the bottom, atleast 8 Christians have spoke of this ship or another being destroyed near the Strait of Hormuz and perhaps will be at or near the time of the sudden destruction upon America (Revelation 18)
11/19/2019 - USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) moved into the Persian Gulf for the first time since since it was scrambled to the Middle East in May, even as its replacement, USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) is back at sea with its air wing in final preparation to deploy after an electrical failure.
Lincoln and its strike group were on deployment earlier this year and hurried to the Middle East after then-National Security Advisor John Bolton called for an increased presence to counter Iranian aggression. The Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, though, spent all these months steaming in a tight operational box in the North Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman, with occasional port calls at Duqm, Oman."

5/17/19 - Prophecy Excerpt from Jeff Byerly - "America, there is no coincidence concerning the names of the ships Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan they will suffer the same fates as their namesakes. When you see this you will know that all that I have spoken is true and that the complete destruction is coming to the once greatest nation of all. You will become lowest of all because you have turned your back on Me your first love."
6/7/2019 - Prophecy Excerpt from Caroline Diadem - Vision – “I heard the word “Lincoln”, I saw and felt it sinking… I saw some warfare on the oceans. I kept seeing the ocean. I knew there were ships. I also saw a small fleet of men and a small, high speed boat. I sense there was conflict. This was out in the deep ocean. I asked who the people were, and I had heard “ Soviet, and military “. Then I had heard ” aircraft carrier “. ( I was asking questions in my heart, ………….the Lord was giving me answers.) I knew the military was the USA, I wondered where this was, and I heard ” Straight ” (Strait) .
11/24/19 - It seems the stage is being set for a Military "Showdown" in the Persian Gulf, amid increased tensions regarding the Global Oil Market that backs the US Dollar (Petro Dollar). I believe if the USS Lincoln is destroyed there for protecting oil assets, it will lead to WW3 and the global financial collapse, the fall of the US dollar, and the rise of the Global Crypto Currency which was proposed by several leading economists this year. The One World Cashless society would force everyone to get RFID chipped (Mark of the Beast) or not be a part of the AntiChrist Beast System (Revelation 13) and instead rely on Jesus all needs.
Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday amid simmering tensions between Iran and the United States as the strike group encountered the Iranian navy on its way into the Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf), but all interactions were safe and professional, according to Commander Boyle.
The Strait of Hormuz is considered the world's most important oil artery as about a fifth of the world's oil passes through, making it of utmost significance to the global oil market.
Tensions in the Gulf have risen since attacks on oil tankers this summer, including off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, and a major assault on energy facilities in Saudi Arabia. Washington has blamed Iran, which has denied orchestrating the attacks on global energy infrastructure.
In response, the U.S. has deployed thousands of additional military forces to the Middle East, including bombers and air defense personnel to act as a deterrent against what Washington says is provocative Iranian behaviour.
The latest move comes as protests, sparked by gasoline price hikes, have spread across Iran since last Friday, with demonstrators demanding that clerical leaders step down.
11/25/19 - Iran threatens to attack nearby US bases and Saudi Oil facilities. On November 26, the USS Abraham Lincoln docked at Bahrain to stay at a US Base there in the Persian Gulf. It seems the narrative is line with the prophecy.
Iranian officials looking to hit back at the U.S. over crippling economic sanctions and its withdrawal from a nuclear deal initially considered attacking American bases before launching airstrikes on a massive Saudi Arabian oil facility instead, a new report claims.
The decision to target the facility owned by Saudi Arabia’s Aramco state-run oil company on Sept. 14 came after top Iranian military officials huddled for a series of meetings in Tehran – one of which was attended by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ultimately signed off on the attack, officials familiar with the discussions told Reuters.
“It is time to take out our swords and teach them a lesson,” a senior commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps unit reportedly said during the first gathering in May.
Retired four-star Army general Jack Keane explains the turmoil in Iran from an economic and regime front.
The officials told Reuters that the military brass assembled for at least five meetings at a heavily fortified compound in Tehran. They initially weighed striking a Saudi Arabian seaport, an airport and U.S. military installations, but scrapped the ideas over fears that they would prompt mass casualties and a harsh response from the U.S., the officials added.

On Sunday, the Navy's 6th Fleet announced the Truman had entered the European area of responsibility "to support maritime security operations in international waters."
"We are ready to continue our steadfast commitment to our allies and partners in U.S. 6th Fleet," said Rear Admiral Andrew Loiselle, Truman Strike Group Commander, in a statement. "These vital sea lanes must remain open for global commerce and prosperity, and nothing in the world is able to foster regional security like a carrier strike group."
The USS Abraham Lincoln, which deployed from Norfolk on April 1 for an around-the-world deployment ending with a homeport shift to San Diego, has seen its deployment extended while waiting to be relieved by the Truman.

Update #55
11/21/2019 - Various Christian prophetic dreams and visions indicate that Russia, China, and a coalition of nations will nuke the East and West Coast of the US and invade by air and sea. In 1983, Dimitru Duduman prophesied that the attack would happen on the heels of an internal revolution/unrest. It is prophesied the Presidential Impeachment and Left vs Right tensions will increase into a Bolshevick style Coup and civil war, and perhaps a sign the destruction is imminent (Jeremiah 51, Revelation 18)
Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told an audience in Beijing on Thursday that China and the United States are in the “foothills of a Cold War,” warning that the current trade war between the two nations could escalate into an armed conflict worse than World War I if left unresolved.
Kissinger, who as President Nixon’s secretary of state flew to Beijing to begin trade talks with Communist China in 1971, gave his take on modern U.S.-Chinese relations at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum.
"If conflict is permitted to run unconstrained, the outcome could be even worse than it was in Europe," Kissinger said. "World War I broke out because of a relatively minor crisis ... and today the weapons are more powerful."

Update #56
11/27/19 - Iran, Russia, and China are flexing their military muscle, most likely toward the United States of America and Israel who are on somewhat hostile terms with various economic and military tensions. This is most likely the alliance that is prophesied by various Christians (A A Allen, Dimitru Duduman, Henry Gruver, Maurice Sklar, etc) that will destroy America in one hour with nuclear attacks from the East and West Coasts (Revelation 18, Jeremiah 51).
Iran, China, and Russia will hold in the coming weeks their first-ever joint war drills, which leaders say are meant to send a "message to the world" about increased military cooperation between the rogue countries.
The commander of Iran's navy, Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi, said Wednesday that the Islamic Republic will team up with Moscow and Beijing within the next month to hold the mass war drills.

11/27/2019 - US and President Trump not only waged a trade war with China, but further angers them by telling Honk Kong they have the right to protest the Communist Beast. This is like poking a stick at an angry Tiger. Trump will be blamed for causing civil unrest in China and hampering their economy. This happens amidst heightened tensions between the US vs Russia, Iran, and China. These three countries have just announced they will begin "war games" in a show of military might against perhaps USA and Israel. I believe sudden destruction is coming to America (Dimitru Duduman, Henry Gruver, A A Allen - Revelation 18).
Donald Trump has signed into law legislation backing pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, angering Beijing which has condemned the bill as “full of prejudice and arrogance”.
The legislation, approved unanimously by the US Senate and by all but one lawmaker in the House of Representatives last week, requires the state department to annually review whether Hong Kong retains enough autonomy to justify favourable US trading terms.
The law, which also threatens sanctions on Chinese and Hong Kong officials deemed responsible for human rights abuses in Hong Kong, further escalates tensions between Beijing and the US.
“This is a pure interference in China’s internal affairs,” China’s ministry of foreign affairs said on Thursday, hours after the bill was signed by Trump. “This bill, which has been denounced by all Chinese people, including Hong Kong compatriots, is full of prejudice and arrogance. It treats Hong Kong with intimidation and threats,” the ministry said in a statement.

Update #58
12/12/2019 - Tensions continue to rise between US and Iran, as threats continue. This is just after the USS Lincoln was "harassed" by 20 Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Various prophecies indicate the USS Lincoln will be destroyed soon in the Strait as a false flag planned attack to begin WW3 and total desolation by a coalition invasion upon America Babylon (Jeremiah 51, Revelation 18, 1 Thessalonians 5:3).
The U.S. military official also told Reuters that Iran-backed militias are approaching a red line where the U.S. will respond with force and “no one will like the outcome."
“There is a point at which their actions change things on the ground and make it more likely that some other actions, some other choices made – by somebody, whether it’s them or us – will escalate unintentionally," the U.S. military official told Reuters.
Both the Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Mark Milley warned Iran Wednesday during a House Armed Services Committee Hearing that the U.S. was prepared to use force to defend itself.

12/16/2019 - After Russia, China, and Iran hold joint military operations in a show of military might, a Russian spy ship is spotted near the coast of the USA. This happening at a time of heightened military and economic tension between Donald Trump and many nations.
A Russian spy ship is conducting operations off the coast of the Eastern United States and has been engaged in unsafe activities near a U.S. nuclear missile submarine base, according to the Coast Guard.
The Russian ship, Viktor Leonov, has been shadowed periodically off the coast for years and is also suspected of spying on undersea Internet cables in addition to U.S. military bases.
12/18/2019 - The USA contributes up to three fourths of the budget for NATO and is comprised of many countries including USA, UK, Germany, France and others. It seems Russia has been challenging The USA-funded NATO Alliance for years now and the tensions are ever increasing. It seems WW3 is soon to come.

Vladimir Putin’s top commander Valery Gerasimov has said he believes the West are preparing for a “large-scale military conflict” amid a renewed NATO buildup in Europe
Russian military launch a nuclear capable missile called Avangard from the Dombarovskaya Rocket Division in the Orenburg region.
Russia’ s top general has warned a big war is coming in a chilling prediction amid ongoing tensions with NATO.
Valery Gerasimov, the chief Vladimir Putin’s general staff, has said he believes the West are preparing for a “large-scale military conflict”. He was speaking at a senior briefing for the military – saying that the West has assigned “adversary status” to Russia.
And the general pointed out NATO’s summit in London wanted faster deployment to the “eastern flank”. NATO and Russia both have shipped tonnes of military hardware to the their frontier in eastern Europe.
Both regularly accuse the other of aggression over the build-up, and General Gerasimov warned this could accidentally spiral into conflict between Russia and NATO – World War 3.

12/2019 - At a time of heightened tensions with the US and NATO, Putin of Russia is boasting about his intercontinental missiles that can go 20 times the speed of sound and pierce through any missile defense ssystem. In many prophetic dreams, visions, and words by various Christians, Russia and China and a coalition of nations will surround the west and east coasts of the USA and launch nuclear missiles to destroy the coastlines.
VLADIMIR Putin has goaded NATO by bragging that Russia is the only country in the world with deadly hypersonic weapons, which he said could be equipped with nuclear payloads.
Speaking at a meeting with top military officials, Mr Putin said that for the first time in history, Russia has an edge in designing a new class of weapons, unlike in the past when it was catching up with the US. He said the first unit equipped with the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle was set to go on duty this month.
Meanwhile the air-launched Kinzhal hypersonic missiles have already entered service. Mr Putin first mentioned the Avangard and the Kinzhal among other prospective weapons systems in his state-of-the-nation address in March 2018.
At the time, Mr Putin said the Avangard has an intercontinental range and could fly in the atmosphere at a speed 20 times the speed of sound.
He noted that the weapon’s ability to change both its course and its altitude en route to a target makes it immune to interception by the enemy.
Speaking on Tuesday, he described the Avangard as a “weapon of the future, capable of penetrating both existing and prospective missile defence systems”.
QThe Kinzhal, which is carried by MiG-31 fighter jets, entered service with the Russian air force last year

12/25/2019 - It seems WW3 is on the precipice as US is stirring up international tensions by pulling out of various nuclear treaties and imposing economic sanctions on Iran, Russia, and China. It seems a very likely confrontation will happen near the Persian Gulf where the US Dollar (Petro-Dollar) is at stake, being backed by Saudi Arabian oil production under suspected harassment by Iran militias. Order out of Chaos is the agenda of the Luciferian elite, and it seems soon chaos will befall the shores of America Babylon (USA) and possibly the destruction of the Abraham Lincoln according to various Christian dreams and visions.

Iran's armed forces will hold a joint, four-day naval exercise with Russia and China in the northern part of the Indian Ocean, a spokesman said Wednesday.
The drill, which is to start on Saturday, will be the first such trilateral exercise as Tehran seeks to boost military cooperation with Beijing and Moscow amid unprecedented economic sanctions from Washington. Visits to Iran by Russian and Chinese naval representatives have also stepped up in recent years.
Iranian military spokesman General Abolfazl Shekarchi said the joint maneuvers, which are aimed at promoting regional security, will extend as far as the Sea of Oman. The drill is seen as a response to recent U.S. maneuvers with its regional ally Saudi Arabia, in which China also participated.
In the wake of recent escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf, including attacks on oil vessels and a missile-and-drone assault on the Saudi oil industry, the U.S. has sent a number of American troops to the region and additional missile defense systems to Saudi Arabia.
Washington alleges that Iran carried out the September attack on the world's largest oil processor in the kingdom and an oil field, which caused oil prices to spike by the biggest percentage since the 1991 Gulf War. While Yemen's Iranian-allied Houthi rebels claimed the assault, Saudi Arabia said it was "unquestionably sponsored by Iran."
Iran has denied this and warned that any retaliatory attack targeting it would result in an "all-out war." Tehran, meanwhile, has also begun enriching uranium beyond the terms of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, which the U.S. unilaterally withdrew from over a year ago.

Update #63
12/28/19 - As military and economic tensions might be at an all time high in the Strait of Hormuz between the United States and Iran, Donald Trump is faced with responding to an attack on the US military members in Iraq, and Iran is suspected as the attacker.
This is at the same time Iran, Russia, and China are holding joint naval drills near the Sea of Oman and the Persian Gulf to contest the US Military presence. Quite a few Christian prophecies (Acts 2:17) indicate USS Lincoln will be struck down near the Strait and is stationed near the Coast of Japan at the Moment. This is said to lead to WW3 and the destruction of America Babylon (Revelation 18, Jeremiah 51).
https://m.jpost.com/American-Politics/Trump-in-a-corner-after-rockets-kill-US-contractor-wound-forces-612346
A US civilian contractor was killed and several US service members and Iraqi personnel were wounded in a rocket attack on the K1 base near Kirkuk on Friday night.
It is the most serious escalation in a series of rocket attacks that have targeted bases in Iraq where American and US-led coalition troops are present.
Since May there have been at least a dozen of these attacks. Some wounded Iraqi security forces, but US forces had not suffered casualties before.
Later on the article indicates:
As the investigation unfolds, Trump will be reminded that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has warned Iran repeatedly against attacks on the US in Iraq. In mid-December, Pompeo said the US was reminding Iran’s leaders that “any attacks by them, or their proxies, of any identity, that harm Americans, our allies, or our interests will be answered with a decisive US response.”
On December 6, David Schenker, assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs at the US State Department, indicated that Iran could be behind the attack on Iraq’s Balad air base. In that attack two Katyusha rockets landed inside Balad air base north of Baghdad. “We’re waiting for full evidence, but if past is prologue then there’s a good chance that Iran was behind it.”

Update #64
1/1/2020 - After various military events happen in Iraq concerning the US in the Middle East and Iranian Militias in Afghanistan, WW3 seems closer than ever and the prophecy concerning the destruction of the USS Lincoln near the Strait of Hormuz. We see that a powerful coalition of nations are openly forming in opposition to the USA and their various military threats and sanctions - Iran, Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, and others just as Dimitru Duduman prophesied in the 1980s.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2020/01/afraid-analysts-dismiss-threats-iraq-200101172345472.html
In a sharply worded response to United States President Donald Trump, who alleged Iranian involvement in a rare protest at the US embassy compound in Baghdad, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued an equally strong response - saying Tehran will openly confront any country that threatens its national interests.
Demonstrators who sympathise with or belong to the Iran-backed Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMF), breached the outer walls of the heavily fortified US embassy compound in the Iraqi capital on Tuesday, setting parts of its perimeter on fire - an angry reaction to deadly US air raids days earlier against Kataib Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militia associated with PMF.
Trump on Tuesday warned he would hold Iran responsible "for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities".
On Wednesday, Khamenei said during a public event in Tehran: "For one thing, you are damned wrong because this matter has nothing to do with Iran. "If Iran decides to confront a country, it will do so openly. But everyone must know that we are strongly committed to the country's interests and we shall not hesitate to intervene and deal a blow to any party who attempts to pose a threat to the country." Iran's ministry of foreign affairs meanwhile used diplomatic channels to summon a Swiss envoy representing US interests in Tehran, and issued a "strong protest against warmongering statements."

BAGHDAD — Iranian official news media confirmed that a powerful commander of its Revolutionary Guards Corps, Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, was killed in a strike on the Baghdad International Airport early Friday.
The United States carried out the strike, the Pentagon said.
“General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region,” the Pentagon statement said. “General Soleimani and his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more.”
Iraqi and Lebanese television also reported the death, which was confirmed by senior militia leader in Iraq.

The missile attack comes after Defense Secretary Mark Esper said the U.S. military will be ready if Iran and its allies plan new attacks, like the one this week at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. More than 700 Army paratroopers are headed to Kuwait, as many as 5,000 more paratroopers and Marines are expected to be sent to the Persian Gulf in the coming days."

More than six US Air Force F-35A Lightning II fighter jets left Al-Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates at around 2 am Wednesday, according to multiple sources, possibly heading to respond to Tuesday night’s Iranian attack on American targets in Iraq.
The warplanes left the UAE just about two minutes after the Ain Al-Asad Air Base came under rocket and missile fire from Iran, and from a local Iranian proxy militia in Iraq.
There are at least 5,000 American troops in Iraq, according to a report by Fox News. The Pentagon has told reporters there is no plan to withdraw forces at this time; officials told Fox News, “We are defending. We are not leaving.” The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Forces (IRGC), fired at least 12 Fateh-110 ballistic missiles from Iran at various sites where American forces are located, including many which were aimed at Ain Al-Asad.
The Kataib Hezbollah militia, which is the 45th Brigade of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Unit (PMU) and an Iranian proxy group, fired at least 40 Katyusha rockets at the base as well.
The missiles exploded in the US military camp in Ain Al-Asad, which hosts US and UK personnel as well as Iraqi forces, according to Middle East defense correspondent Babak Taghvaee.
Ain Al-Asad was not the only military base that was attacked, however; two other bases in use by the US Army in and near Erbil were also targeted by the Iranian IRGC Aerospace Base.
The attack is seen as the “official launch” of the start of Iran’s “Operation Soleimani” – the military operation intended to wreak vengeance on the United States in retaliation for last week’s targeted killing of IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani.

Update #67
1/2020 - Just weeks after Iran, Russia, and China held joint naval drills in opposition to the US presence near the Persian Gulf, Russia taunts US Navy in the region. There are approximately 10-15 Christian dreams and visions indicating that the USS Lincoln Aircraft Carrier will be destroyed soon near the Strait of Hormuz soon and will occur around the time Russia, China and a coalition destroy the USA. The IRGC also surrounded and "harassed" the USS Lincoln with 20 vessels in early December 2019 in the Strait.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/10/politics/russian-warship-us-aircraft-carrier-video/index.html
(CNN)A Russian warship "aggressively approached" a US Navy destroyer while it was operating in the North Arabian Sea Thursday, ignoring warnings from the US vessel and increasing the risk of a collision, the US Navy said Friday.
Video of the incident, which was obtained by CNN, shows the Russian warship rapidly approaching the USS Farragut, coming as close as 180 feet to the US ship before changing course, according to two defense officials.
The incident is the latest example of a close encounter between US and Russian military forces that American officials have described as unsafe and provocative.
It comes roughly seven months after another incident in the Pacific when US and Russian warships came so close the US ship had to perform an emergency maneuver to avoid a collision.

Update #68
1/14/2020 - Additional rockets have been shot at US forces in Iraq, after Trump declared tensions were de-escalating, but I say "delayed." While the impeachment is pending, various US polls indicate the people fear Iranian retaliation, as the US House of Reps voted against Trump's decision making regarding war. If Trump decides to strike again, expect a harsh coup takeover movement. Expect also President Trump to be the fall guy for causing WW3, the economic crash, the US Civil War, and failing to being peace to the Middle East. Thus allowing the AntiChrist (Revelation 6:1-2), most likely Obama, to rise from the ashes of chaos and bring forth the Daniel 9:27 covenant with Israel and many nations for the final 7 years of tribulation before Jesus returns.
It also seems, all of middle east fears Trump's "reckless" attacks and being collateral damage near the Persian Gulf where it is prophesied by 15-20 Christians through dreams, words, and visions (Acts 2:17), that the USS Lincoln will be destroyed soon near the Strait of Hormuz and lead to the destruction of America headed by a coalition of Russia, China, and others.
The number of American casualties from the strike still unknown The strike on the US Army base has reignited fears of conflict in the region. At least one rocket is believed to have landed close to gates of the base, which is home to coalition forces near Baghdad. Reports say at least one member of security forces has been injured.
“2 katyusha rockets have reportedly hit Camp Taji.”
Mr Makki has described reports suggesting “the attack was apparently ‘huge’”
“The attack has been described as ‘fierce’ and ‘violent’.”
But while Iran confessed to shooting the jet down — three days after the fact and under intense international pressure — its president asserted Tuesday that the "root causes" of the tragedy were U.S. actions.
"It was the U.S. that caused such an incident to take place," Iran's state-controlled news agency Tasnim quoted President Hassan Rouhani as saying. The Iranian regime has blamed the Trump administration for ratcheting up tensions with the controversial decision to kill senior Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in a January 2 drone strike in Baghdad.
Iranian forces shot the plane down hours after launching a barrage of ballistic missiles at military bases in Iraq housing hundreds of U.S. forces, in retaliation for the killing of Soleimani. Officials in Tehran have said their forces were on high-alert for any U.S. response to the missile attack, and the operator who fired on the plane believed it was an incoming American missile.
WASHINGTON — Gulf Arab states are on edge after President Donald Trump's decision to kill top Iranian commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani, fearing tensions between the United States and Iran could spiral into a military conflict on their doorstep with devastating economic effects, according to foreign diplomats, former U.S. officials and regional experts.
Even the most hawkish powers in the Persian Gulf, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which have backed Trump's tough line on Iran, were stunned by the attack on Soleimani and have appealed to the White House to avoid a conflagration with Tehran, the sources said.
While the Saudis and Emiratis privately welcomed Soleimani's demise, they worry their close proximity to Iran makes them vulnerable if a war erupts and fear Trump's unpredictable decision-making could trigger a conflict no one wants, jeopardizing a years-long effort to promote tourism and financial services.
"Everyone from Kuwait to Oman is fearful of escalation," said a former U.S. intelligence official recently returned from a visit to the region. "Everyone realizes that a military conflict could be a disaster."
If one stray missile hits an office tower in Dubai, "its reputation as a financial center is in jeopardy," the former official added.

Update #69
1/21/2020 - Trump who claims to be a Christian has sparked tensions between Iran, Russia, China, North Korea and others via economic sanctions and haughty words. Meanwhile Trump is undergoing impeachment trials in the Senate beginning today. This seems to line up with the Dimitru Duduman prophesy of the 1980s where America will be destroyed (Revelation 18) by Russia and a coalition when the Government is busy dealing with an internal revolution.

DUBAI (Reuters) - An Iranian lawmaker offered a $3 million reward to anyone who killed U.S. President Donald Trump and said Iran could avoid threats if it had nuclear arms, ISNA news agency reported on Tuesday amid Tehran's latest standoff with Washington.
U.S. disarmament ambassador Robert Wood dismissed the reward as "ridiculous", telling reporters in Geneva it showed the "terrorist underpinnings" of Iran's establishment.
Tensions have escalated since Trump in 2018 pulled the United States out of a multilateral 2015 agreement meant to contain Iran's nuclear program, saying it was flawed, then reimposed heavy U.S. sanctions on Tehran. The standoff erupted into tit-for-tat military strikes earlier this month.

Update #70
1/26/2020 - After attacks and threats go back and forth between Iran and the United States, another rocket was fired at a US Embassy in Iraq. Keep in mind that the new Soleimani replacement of the Quds Force has warned of a "manly" retaliation for the assassination of Iranian General Soleimani. Also, the red flag of war has been raised up in Iran while Iranian MP offers 3 million dollars for the head of President Trump, all the while American Military Officials threatened retaliation on anyone who harms US Soldiers.

Three rockets slammed into the US embassy in Iraq's capital on Sunday in the first direct hit reported after months of close calls, as thousands kept up anti-government sit-ins across the country.
The attack marked a dangerous escalation in the spree of rocket attacks in recent months that have targeted the embassy or Iraqi military bases where American troops are deployed.
None of the attacks has been claimed but Washington has repeatedly blamed Iran-backed military factions in Iraq.
On Sunday, one rocket hit an embassy cafeteria at dinner time while two others landed nearby, a security source told AFP.
A senior Iraqi official told AFP at least one person was wounded, but it was not immediately clear how serious the injuries were and whether the person was an American national or an Iraqi staff member working at the mission.
The US embassy did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The attack took place earlier in the day than usual, with AFP reporters hearing the booms on the western bank of the river Tigris at precisely 7:30 pm (1630 GMT).
WASHINGTON — The Defense Department said Friday that 34 American service members have traumatic brain injuries from Iranian airstrikes on Al Asad Air Base in Iraq, contradicting President Trump’s dismissal of injuries among American troops this week.
A Pentagon spokesman, Jonathan Hoffman, told a news conference that eight of the affected service members have returned to the United States from an American military hospital in Germany.
On Wednesday, Mr. Trump dismissed concussion symptoms felt by the troops as “not very serious,” even as the Pentagon acknowledged that a number of American service members were being studied for possible traumatic brain injury caused by the attack.

The Trump administration’s top envoy for Iran just put assassination back on the table when he said the US will take out the successor to slain Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani — if the successor continues along the path of killing Americans.
That forceful message, delivered by Brian Hook during an interview with the Asharq al-Awsat newspaper in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday, serves as a stark warning to Tehran — and could conceivably increase tensions with the US.
If new Quds Force Commander Esmail Ghaani “follows a similar path of killing Americans, he will meet the same fate,” Hook said. “The president has made clear for years that any attacks against American personnel or interests in the region will be met with a decisive response.”
“This is not a new threat,” Hook continued. “I think the regime now understands that they cannot attack America at will, and expect to get away with it. So we will hold the regime and its proxies accountable for any attacks on Americans, or on American interests in the region.”

Update #71
2/5/2020 - Nuclear tensions with Russia escalated after US plans to deploy low-yield nuclear submarines. This is after US and Russia pull out of the INF Treaty, signaling a nuclear war is more likely and raising concerns with Russia of a US attack.
MOSCOW (AP) — A senior Russian diplomat raised concern Wednesday about the United States deploying a new submarine-launched nuclear weapon, saying the move signaled Washington's belief that it could wage a limited nuclear conflict.
The Pentagon's top policy official told The Associated Press this week that a a nuclear warhead of reduced destructive power had been fitted onto a Trident II intercontinental ballistic missiles carried by nuclear submarines.
Moscow has rejected U.S. allegations that Russia was considering such a conflict. The Russian government long has criticized the Pentagon's plans to develop low-yield nuclear weapons, arguing that a limited nuclear conflict would inevitably escalate into a full-blown nuclear war.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Wednesday that the new missile's deployment is an indication the United States views a low-intensity nuclear conflict as a feasible option. He described the U.S. move as “very alarming.”
"It's a reflection of the fact that the U.S. lowers the nuclear threshold and considers it possible to wage a limited nuclear war and win such a war,” Ryabkov said in remarks carried by Russian news agencies.
Ryabkov said the U.S. was at risk of what he described as a "drift in the dangerous direction, a slide toward planning absolutely unacceptable catastrophic scenarios."
Last year, Russia and the U.S. both withdrew from the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. The U.S. said it pulled out because of Russian violations; the Kremlin denied breaching the treaty's terms.
The Kremlin has said that Washington also appears reluctant to extend the New START treaty, the last remaining arms control deal between Russia and the U.S., which expires in 2021.

Update #72
2/2020 - As the war tensions between the USA and Iran, Russia, and China increases so will America be divided and in chaos, especially after trying to divide Jerusalem with Trump's "Peace Deal" (see Zech 12:3). As a powerful coalition of nations are forming against America, it will ultimately take it out in one hour (Revelation 18, Jeremiah 51) by a nuclear invasion according to various Christian prophetic messages - Dimitru Duduman, Henry Gruver, A A Allen, Monique Bizet, Maurice Sklar, etc.
Meanwhile, the political divide in the USA increases as Nancy Pelosi rips up her copy of the State of the Union Address after Trump's speech in early February. Signaling a weakened and divided America. Similar to Duduman's 1980 prophecy.

Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Ali Hosseini suggested a union between Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Turkey and China. Speaking at the Islamabad Strategic Studies Institute (ISSI) on Tuesday, Mr Hosseini urged the countries to utilise their “great potential and existing opportunities”. Mr Hosseini claimed a new bloc could have the potential to form a new alliance for a better future in the region.
Mr Hosseini condemned the US for last month’s killing of General Soleimani.
He said: “Once again they have proved to everyone that they have no obligation and respect to international rules and laws.
“The crime was not only to attack the national sovereignty of Iraq but also to target one of the elements ‘providing security’ in this region subject to different conspiracies from al Qaeda to ISIS and Al-Nusra Front.”
The ambassador believed regional issues such as narcotics, terrorism and sectarianism have been exploited dextrously to undermine Iran’s peace and tranquillity.

Update #73
3/12/2020 - It seems the Red Horse of WAR (Revelation 6) could be unleashed at any moment as tensions continue even amidst a Coronavirus Pandemic and a tanking economy. Russia, China, and Iran have recently come together in opposition to the US presence in the Middle East, specifically the Strait or Hormuz as Trump is strong arming them with Economic sanctions and pulling out of Nuclear Arms treaties. It seems WW3 and the destruction of America is soon (Revelation 18, Jeremiah 51).

WASHINGTON — United States warplanes struck five targets in southern Iraq on Thursday night, hitting back at an Iraqi militia with ties to Iran that is believed to have been part of a rocket attack on Wednesday that killed two Americans and a British soldier, American officials said.
The airstrikes, which were supported by the British military, targeted the militia Kataib Hezbollah and facilities that were believed to store the type of rockets used in the attack on coalition forces on Wednesday. It is not known how many militia members, if any, were killed, a military official said.
“The United States will not tolerate attacks against our people, our interests or our allies,” Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper said in a statement after the strikes.
Mr. Esper’s language falls in line with a now familiar pattern as Washington moves to curb malign efforts from Iran and its proxies across the region.
But ultimately, the effort has translated into a violent tit-for-tat exchange with an outcome that is anything but clear.
A Defense Department official said the strikes were specifically designed to be punishing and retaliatory — but not to escalate into a conflict with Iran. Another military official noted that the attack was ordered at night in Iraq with the intention of minimizing civilian casualties.
Kataib Hezbollah released a statement on Thursday praising those who had carried out the strikes on Wednesday, though the group denied responsibility. That strike was “a precision jihadi operation,” the statement said. It also signaled that the group hoped to see an increase in operations against the American presence in Iraq.

Update #74 (May 2020)
May 2020 - It appears the many Christian dreams and visions regarding the USS Lincoln being destroyed by Iran/Russia in the Strait of Hormuz is very much still on the table! It is said this will happen around the time of the nuclear bombing and invasion by Russia, China, and others on American soil (Revelation 18). The Red Horse is soon to ride! Rapture of Christian remnant before sudden destruction (Revelation 3:10, 1 Corinthians 15:52)!

However, Iran can respond to US pressure by attacking ships in the Persian Gulf or striking at US forces in Iraq or US allies and partners. This is how Iran has responded in the past.
It has not been explained what connection the cyberattack on the Iranian port where the ships were loaded has to the current crisis at sea. Iran had been trying to get the Shahid Rajaee Port online for greater production.
The Iranian press agency Nour News says that if the United States takes action against the 5 Iranian tankers heading to #Venuzuela, it would be taking "a dangerous risk, and this move will certainly not be without repercussions". #Iran pic.twitter.com/tucfo8DLV2

The port is one of those the US has monitored for illicit shipments by the IRGC for years. It is one of the seven main ports of Iran along with Bandar Imam, Bandar Anzali, Khorramshahr Port, Assaluyeh Port, the Aprin central terminal dry port, and Chabahar.
5/28/2020 - Iran continues to threaten the US Navy, as tensions continue to rise over the Pandemic woes and economic sanctions. Russia and China also seem to be in military opposition as well with the US. According to various Christian prophecies, the USS Lincoln and another will be destroyed by Iran or Russia in the Persian gulf, which will lead to the sudden destruction of the USA by means of a nuclear invasion on both coasts according to Revelation 18 (Prophecies by Dimitru Duduman, Henry Gruver, A A Allen, Monique Bizet, Maurice Sklar, etc).

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps unveiled scores of new and upgraded defensive speedboats with a warning to the U.S. that it won’t shy away from challenging American naval power.
“Today we announce that wherever the Americans are, we’re right there beside you, and in the near future you will sense us even more,” IRGC Navy Commander Admiral Alireza Tangsiri said on the sidelines of a ceremony in the Persian Gulf, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported Thursday.
5/28/2020 - As America is weakened and divided through the racial and political turmoil, the enemies of the US dish out more threats and words of displeasure. Trump's economic sanctions on Iran, Russia, and China continue to aggravate an already tense situation.

Russian Senator Vladimir Dzhabarov said the US' decision to end sanctions waivers that had allowed some work to proceed at Iranian nuclear sites will only provoke Tehran into developing nuclear weapons, according to Interfax . Mr Dzhabarov warned the move by the US would trigger Tehran into creating a "nuclear bomb, unequivocally" as tensions reach boiling point.
He said: "The US is pushing them and in the end they are provoking Iran to create a nuclear bomb, unequivocally."
He said Russia would continue to cooperate with Iran.
The remarks come after the US on Wednesday terminated waivers that allowed Russian, Chinese and European companies to carry out work originally designed to make it harder for Iranian nuclear sites to be used for weapons development
