Now The End Begins
The War That Donald Trump Started In Iran Is Rapidly Spinning Out Of Control As The United States Appears To Be Heading ‘Strait’ Into A Strategic Defeat
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Trump Said Iran Was Obliterated And The War Was Nearly Finished, Now U.S. Allies Fear Defeat And American Generals Are Warning Of Dangerous Shortages
HOW CAN THIS BE?? How can the most powerful military machine on earth spend five months pounding Iran with bombers, cruise missiles, aircraft carriers and thousands of combat sorties, only to awaken to headlines warning that America is approaching a strategic defeat? The answer is as simple as it is devastating. President Donald Trump confused the power to destroy targets with the ability to win a war. The Pentagon can publish breathtaking numbers of Iranian installations bombed, ships destroyed and commanders eliminated, but none of that constitutes victory when the enemy government remains standing, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, American forces remain under attack and the conflict continues expanding across the Middle East. Trump promised obliteration, announced victory and assured the American people that the war was nearly finished. Iran apparently never received that memo. Today all Hell is breaking loose across the Middle East, and it appears to be unstoppable.
Trump entered this war boasting of overwhelming American strength, but without any attainable endgame. Was the objective to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, eliminate its missiles, overthrow the government, reopen Hormuz, protect Israel, blockade Iranian ports or force Tehran into an unconditional surrender? No one in the Trump administration seems to know the answer to that. Washington has attempted all of it simultaneously, and has accomplished none of it decisively. The Iranian regime survived the opening bombardment, hardened its grip on the country and continued launching missiles and drones against Israel, American installations, commercial shipping and Gulf allies. Iran does not have to defeat the United States in a conventional battle. It merely has to remain standing while America bleeds money, burns through interceptors, exhausts its warships and watches the conflict spread from Iran into Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Egypt.
For Many Months Now, NTEB Told You This Would Happen, Warned You It Was Coming, And Now It’s Here.
That is the trap Iran has constructed, America may control the skies, but Iran controls the clock. America can destroy another radar station, missile launcher or IRGC headquarters, but Iran can deploy another small boat, mobile launcher, drone swarm or naval mine and keep the Strait of Hormuz too dangerous for normal commercial traffic. Tehran does not need to sink the United States Navy; it only needs to frighten insurance companies and shipping corporations. It does not need to invade Israel; it only needs to force America to expend a finite supply of interceptors protecting it. It does not need to win spectacularly; it only needs to make the war longer, wider and more expensive than Washington can politically, economically or militarily sustain. And speaking of traps, are you aware that Iran is right now targeting 7 US states in cyberattacks on our water systems? Iran has spent 47 years planning for this war, Trump looks like he hasn’t spent 47 minutes preparing America for this confrontation.
Iran Is Not ‘Decimated,’ They Are Taunting Trump With These Missile Systems
Iran’s Kheibar Shekan is a medium-range ballistic missile that can fly 900 miles, meaning it can threaten the entire Middle East—and beyond. The Kheibar Shekan has become the workhorse of Iran’s missile arsenal during the war with the United States. Now, U.S. officials say Iran’s attacks are growing more and more complex, and that’s making the missile even more dangerous for American troops.

Palestinians Reject Israel’s Right To Exist—
That Is The Reason Peace Is Not Attainable
That Is The Reason Peace Is Not Attainable
By Chris Katulka: Whenever the Israelis and Palestinians begin peace talks there always seems to be a litany of demands that can easily stall the peace process like water in a gas tank.
The stakes are high for both the Palestinians and Israelis, however, the Israelis will always pay a higher price for peace. The Israelis will pay more monetarily and emotionally, while always having to bear the burden of the repercussions that come from Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations.
Take for instance the Gaza Disengagement from 2005, when then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon approved to unilaterally uproot more than 9,000 Israelis from the Gaza Strip. Financially, the Israelis paid around $6.25 billion dollars on the disengagement and what has resulted since 2005. They also lost more than $100 million dollars a year from exports from the Gaza when it was under Israeli control. Emotionally, more than 9,000 Israelis lost their homes that some have lived in for more than forty years and many lost their livelihood. Synagogues were dismantled and even the dead were exhumed to make way for peace.
Yet did that peace ever come?
Israel is willing to pay a lot for the prospect of peace, and all that they demand from the Palestinians in return is recognition. Recognition, that’s it? That’s right folks, recognition. The recognition that Israel is the Jewish state.

Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: Canada has long prided itself on being a nation of tolerance, diversity, and freedom. Yet one of its latest military directives raises a troubling question: How tolerant is a society that increasingly excludes Christianity from public life?
The Canadian Armed Forces has reportedly issued guidance instructing military chaplains to avoid using religious-specific language--including references to God--during public ceremonies and official events. The irony is difficult to ignore. Chaplains exist precisely because they are ministers of faith. Asking them to leave God out of public prayers is rather like asking a physician to avoid mentioning medicine.
Even more striking is the fact that Canada's own national anthem still asks God to "keep our land glorious and free." Apparently, the nation may sing about God, but those officially appointed to provide spiritual care are increasingly discouraged from speaking His name.
This is about far more than military protocol. It reflects a profound shift in how Canada understands its own history, identity, and future.

Does Amalek Like Christians More Than Jews?
By I. M. Koen: It wasn’t Albert Einstein who said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” That’s just a myth. But the saying was circulating in recovery communities by the late 1970s, although its true origin is unknown. Whoever first coined it understood a timeless truth: repeating failed patterns rarely produces a different outcome.
That profound truth came to mind as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Christian leaders in Washington on July 29th, urging them to confront the growing tide of antisemitism. Expressions of concern are important, but concern alone has never defeated hatred. If the Church continues responding to antisemitism in the same ways it always has, it should not expect a different result.
I am standing among my Christian brothers and sisters in frustration. I’m hearing the same words, seeing the familiar “stand with Israel” lapel pins, and reading articles about how much Christians support Jewish people. But talk is cheap. And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had to travel almost 6,000 miles to give a speech that should have been blaring from pulpits in Christian churches all year.

Why Morocco Invaded Spain – The Real Story
By Daniel Greenfield: I have an extensive article on this, but here are the cliff notes on what led up to this
Morocco did something similar back in 2021 when it allowed 10,000 of its people to storm through into Spanish territory because Spain treated the leader of a Western Sahara breakaway state after he got COVID. In response, Spain appeased Morocco into taking back the migrants by recognizing its claims to the Western Sahara. This enraged Algeria, which broke off relations with Spain.
June 10 – Application window closed after PM Sanchez offered to legalize 500,000 migrants.To expand on that last note to explain why Morocco did it, letting migrants through is the best form of pressure that it has at its disposable.
July 8 – Spanish Supreme Court ruled migrant invaders by sea couldn’t be deported
July 20 – PM Sanchez visited Algeria. Morocco got angry and dropped border security

Madrid Accuses Jerusalem Of Fueling Ceuta Migration Crisis In Wild Conspiracy Theory
By Ailin Vilches Arguello: Diplomatic tensions between Israel and Spain continued to escalate after Madrid accused Jerusalem of fueling chaos over the migration crisis in its North African enclave of Ceuta, adding a new flashpoint to an already strained relationship between the two countries.
Earlier on Friday, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon accused Madrid of exposing a double standard by deploying military forces to its North African enclave of Ceuta to curb a mass influx of migrants from Morocco.
“Spain, which never misses an opportunity to lecture Israel, has declared a state of emergency in Ceuta following the crisis over its immigration policy,” the Israeli diplomat wrote in a post on X. “Maybe before it continues lecturing us, it’s time it explained to the world why it still maintains colonial enclaves in Africa.”
In response, Spanish Transportation Minister Óscar Puente issued a sharp rebuke that appeared to suggest Israel was behind the crisis, promoting claims that Jerusalem was attempting to undermine Spain and contribute to instability within the country.
“Things are starting to become quite clear,” the Spanish official wrote in a post on X.
