A ‘Decimated’ And ‘Obliterated’ Iran Begins Weaponizing The Strait Of Hormuz Sending Global Energy Markets Into Chaos
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Iran Tightens Its Grip On Hormuz As IRGC Rocket Launchers, Sea Mines And Ballistic Missiles Turn The World’s Most Important Oil Chokepoint Into A War Zone
Iran is once again showing the world that it does not need to defeat the United States in a conventional war to inflict tremendous damage upon it. According to CENTCOM, IRGC forces on Larak Island were preparing rocket launchers capable of firing naval mines directly into the Strait of Hormuz, replenishing the very minefields American forces had only just finished clearing. That is not ordinary coastal defense, it is calculated economic warfare. Tehran is weaponizing one of the most important maritime chokepoints on Earth, transforming a narrow stretch of water into a pressure valve on global oil supplies, shipping insurance, commercial traffic and inflation. Iran understands perfectly that it can shake markets, frighten tanker operators and drive oil above $90 without sinking an American aircraft carrier or winning a single conventional battle.
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, when the United States destroyed those launchers, Iran did not limit its response to the Strait or strike only at the forces responsible. The IRGC fired ballistic missiles toward bases housing American forces in Jordan and launched drones into UAE airspace, immediately expanding the battlefield into neighboring countries. Jordan says it intercepted eight missiles, while the UAE says it intercepted Iranian drones over its territorial waters. Iran is demonstrating that every Gulf nation hosting American forces can be made to pay a price for Washington’s decisions. Tehran is turning the entire region into a field of retaliatory targets while presenting its aggression as “self-defense.”
The most disturbing part is that Iran appears determined to establish itself as the gatekeeper of Hormuz. Tehran says vessels must obey Iranian navigation restrictions, has reportedly threatened ships attempting to pass without its authorization, and claims a tanker struck two mines after trying to transit “illegally.” That amounts to an effort to impose Iranian control over an international waterway by force. America may destroy two launchers today and clear several mines tomorrow, but Iran can deploy more rockets, drones, missiles and mines from a long and heavily fortified coastline. The IRGC is betting that it can bleed America’s munitions, frighten its Gulf allies, strangle international commerce and force the world to negotiate on Tehran’s terms. This is not Iran backing down, it is Iran tightening its grip around the throat of the global economy. Today on the Podcast, nothing is at is seems in the Middle East as we rapidly approach the prophecy tipping point!

Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: Nearly 25 years after hijacked passenger jets were deliberately flown into the World Trade Center and Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has issued an extraordinary reminder to its journalists: Don't call what happened on September 11, 2001, a "terrorist attack."
According to internal guidance reported ahead of the 25th anniversary, CBC journalists were instructed: "Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks." Instead, reporters are encouraged to describe what happened and attribute words such as "terrorism" to governments, officials or other sources.
CBC insists this is not an attempt to rewrite history. Public Affairs Director Kerry Kelly explained that the broadcaster exercises "extreme caution" with the terms "terrorist" and "terrorism," describing the memo as a reminder of CBC's longstanding preference for using those words with attribution.
But that explanation exposes a much larger problem.
If deliberately hijacking civilian aircraft and flying them into buildings filled with civilians cannot objectively be described as terrorism, what exactly can?
The controversy also sounds remarkably familiar. We heard virtually the same argument after October 7, 2023.

Godless Marxism Or God Honoring Governance: Which Way America?
By Terry James: During the 1976 approach to America’s one hundredth birthday, there were dangers to the nation in many directions. The Soviet Union presented a fearful threat. Its leader, the bear-like Leonid Brezhnev—with his scowling demeanor and dark, bushy eyebrows narrowed—always seemed to threaten world destruction with nuclear war-dominated headlines.
Communism was on the move, despite the ending of the Vietnam War, which, to many observers, America lost. That evil ideology seemed to be spreading everywhere, including to this hemisphere.
The American culture was growing coarser by the day, with many universities and colleges harboring professors who taught (and students who excitedly embraced) communism. Anti-American revolutionaries grew from these enclaves to foment growing internal strife.
This anti-God assault was somewhat prevalent even when I was a college freshman in 1961 or so. A professor—young and looking like a prepared-for-TV politician—stood before our freshman classes and proclaimed the marvels of Marxism and the evil of the politicians of the American government.

New Scans Push Turkey’s Noah’s Ark Formation Closer To Proof
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz: A boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey has produced its most detailed underground readings in decades. Ground-penetrating radar equipment brought from the United States has detected multiple anomalies beneath the Durupinar formation in Ağrı province, including cavities and structures that intersect at right angles across several underground levels. Soil samples pulled from inside the formation have also shown carbon levels roughly 40 percent higher than samples taken outside it. Researchers say the combined data are pushing them toward answers that six decades of speculation have failed to produce.
The Sages treated the Genesis flood narrative as a record of real geography, not allegory, and the text itself supports that reading. After the water receded, “And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat” (Genesis 8:4). Genesis continues with the same precision: “And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen” (Genesis 8:5). These verses give factual clues to the Biblical account, citing months, days, and a named mountain range. That level of specificity is precisely what has kept researchers returning to the region for over sixty years, and it is what now sends them underground with radar equipment rather than simply photographing a hillside from the air.

1 In 5 College Students Support Hamas
By Daniel Greenfield: Numbers from the following Brandeis report, American Undergraduates and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, show 18% support for Hamas among college students and 15% favorability for Israel.
They’re roughly in line from numbers we’ve seen before.
And before the initial response is about Israel, Hasbara or any of that, let’s remember that other polls have shown that…
67% of college students have a positive view of socialism compared to 40% for capitalism and 43% of students rate Communism positively
1 in 3 college students believe in violence to stop speech that they don’t like
...this isn’t just about Israel. Or America.

Port Authority Police To Mamdani:
Stay Away From 9/11 Anniversary Ceremony
Stay Away From 9/11 Anniversary Ceremony
By Hugh Fitzgerald: On September 11, the 25th anniversary ceremony of the 9/11 attacks will be held in New York. Already thousands of survivors, and many more thousands of the relatives of those killed in those attacks, have demanded that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stay away from the ceremony. Now the Port Authority police have added their voices; they don’t want Mamdani at the ceremony. The Port Authority police lost 37 of its officers in that attack, which remains the largest loss of life suffered by a single police force in a single event in American history.
