TRUMP CRITICISED

One moment, Donald Trump was saying that he needed 2 more weeks to think about the next step, then, suddenly, 6 B-2 bomber jets are flying into Iran and dropping bunker-busting bombs- obliterating Iran's proudly protected Nuclear sites, deep underneath the hardened, mountainous facility.

The World at large is a much safer place than it was 2 days ago, but Trump's critics are quick to jump to conclusions that there must be some political motivation for this attack on Iran's nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan.

Depending on where you stand with Donald Trump as a mere person, or what your ideological or religious views are, the way that you reason and the conclusions that you will reach will be directly linked to your belief systems.

I do not believe that when a regime warns of your annihilation and keeps enriching uranium to weapons grade, I must be so naive to think that they have just been saying this for fun, for several decades now. Iran's ties with North Korea and Russia, as well as China, are enough to make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.

Some would say that the US should've never joined this war on terror, others would say that Trump betrayed his voters, while some would call Netanyahu a murderer and all kinds of ugly names, when in fact, both Trump and Netanyahu have proven to be men of truth, men of honour and above all, men of extreme strength.

I cannot think of anything stronger and more admirable than 2 godly men who stand up in power, for the Free World, doing what no other nation has ever managed to do- striking Iran in its backyard, so quickly, that even the Ayatolla had no idea what had just happened.

This has left the World both in awe and also divided us into those who oppose Biblical truths, and those of us who believe every word it says, like I do.

It is unprecedented how the IDF and the US have managed to pull off this stunning victory over their enemies, the IRGC. Let's be clear, this war is not against the Iranian people, but against their evil, suppressive regime.

The people of Israel love the Iranians, and there have been reports of multiple Iranian people who are now standing up against its regime, calling for a complete regime change- muslims are converting to Christianity and Iranian women, who have been oppressed for decades, want to burn their hijabs and live free from this ideological prison imposed on them since 1979.

Videos can be seen of women letting their hair down and freeing themselves from oppression- this is very encouraging.

As a Christian believer, I am all about this type of reckless abandonment of decades-long oppression at the hands of the Ayatolla.

My prayer is that more people would realise that this is not only a war against a very nefarious regime, but its about regime change for Iran, and it's about setting the captives free- God bless Trump, Netanyahu, and all those who spread the truth, to help the World come to know the love of Christ.
