More on Pickaxe Mountain as a Possible Target
Israeli intelligence reveals that Iran may be hiding vital nuclear program equipment more than 300 to 450 feet underground at Pickaxe Mountain, which is heavily fortified and comprised of solid rock. A key concern now is whether Iran has already started to use the site for enriching uranium for weapons purposes.
To date, the US and Israel have not attempted to strike the facility. But that may soon change—yesterday, Trump announced, “We’ll be hitting that area very probably pretty soon. And there’s not a thing they can do about it.”
Trump also acknowledged uncertainty about whether Iran has installed nuclear centrifuges in the bunker-style facility. He said, “We don’t have [evidence] on record. It doesn’t mean anything unless they have the material…we follow the material, that’s where the action is.”
But the fact the mountain has a significant security perimeter and the tunnel entrances have been reinforced with concrete for the sake of protection makes the site highly suspicious.
In an article from October 2025, the Center for Strategic & International Studies pointed out that Iran had repeatedly refused to allow nuclear inspectors access to the site, saying that at Pickaxe Mountain, “Iran could build back key aspects of its nuclear program in the dark.”

Is Regime Change Once Again in Trump’s Plans?
When the US and Israel first went to war against Iran on February 28, 2026, two key objectives were to stop Iran’s nuclear weapons program and degrade its military assets. Beforehand, Trump had said on February 13 that another possible objective, regime change, was “the best thing that could happen.”
But then talk of regime change subsided, and during the lengthy ceasefire during which a Memorandum of Understanding was signed, Trump indicated a willingness to negotiate with those who were in power.
But now there’s speculation about whether regime change is once again a goal. At this point, no official statements have been made.
On Sunday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “The only reason why the US is conducting strikes is against assets of Iran that are being used to attack global commercial shipping.”
And Richard Goldberg, a senior advisor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank, observed that “collapsing the regime remains a long-term goal using all forms of national power, but it doesn’t appear to be a military objective right now…it’s focused on securing the Strait of Hormuz.”

The Latest from Trump and Rubio
Earlier today, Trump warned, “From this point forward, anytime the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran.”
Today while in the Philippines at the ASEAN Summit, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “Iran’s in a lot of trouble…hyperinflation, runaway inflation, high food costs…have all gotten worse.” He added that Iran has “suffered a tremendous amount of damage to their military infrastructure.”
Rubio added that “the problem we’re having right now is they’re not serious about talks. If they’re serious, we’re serious. If they’re not, then we will do what is necessary to protect our interests and also the interests of our allies.”

Why NYC Mayor Mamdani Keeps Threatening to Arrest Netanyahu
Recently, New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani once again announced his determination to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the latter visits the UN headquarters in September.
But he also had to admit he doesn’t have the authority to do so: “My administration has reviewed every avenue available under applicable law to determine whether New York City could execute the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant if Benjamin Netanyahu came here. It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant.”
So why is Mamdani so driven to keep talking about Netanyahu’s arrest?
As a Muslim Shi’ite, Mamdani adheres to an Islamist ideology that views Israel as an enemy that must be annihilated. And he is doing all he can to promote the false narrative that Netanyahu is a war criminal.
As the mayor of NYC, Mamdani has a large megaphone that allows him to push Palestinian terrorist propaganda into major Western media outlets. When he spoke a couple days ago, he opened by saying, “Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal, the architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people.”
Yet there was no genocide in Gaza. The IDF bent over backward to ensure it was targeting terrorists. It was Hamas’s use of Palestinian men, women, and children as human shields that led to many civilian deaths. Hamas hid its weapons and tunnels beneath schools, hospitals, and neighborhoods—all of which are flagrant violations of the international laws of war.
Mamdani doesn’t care about the truth. As West Point professor John Spencer pointed out in a post on X, “There is/was never a genocide in Gaza. The opposite actually, one side (Israel) vaccinating, feeding, helping with all services (medical, drinking water, power) while taking extraordinary steps to protect civilians in the worst urban warfare scenario arguably ever seen and the other side (Hamas) doing everything it can to get civilians killed, stealing food, targeting civilians that do not do their demands.”
Spencer aptly concluded his post with this declaration: “The mayor is a liar and worse.”

Expanding the War Effort
In the Red Sea region, Iran’s proxy terrorists in Yemen—the Houthis—recently attacked two tankers connected with Saudi Arabia. In response, Trump warned He would inflict “major military punishment” upon both Iran and the Houthis if the strikes continue against commercial vessels using the Red Sea passageway.
We’re now seeing signs that Trump is expanding the overall war effort. More US military refueling aircraft have been sent to Israel, and multiple US B-1 bombers have departed from bases in the UK and headed to the Middle East.
The US is also sending more than 150 US military medical personnel to Germany. Those who are wounded in action in the Middle East are transported to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, which is near Ramstein Air Base. It’s the largest US military hospital outside the United States.

Iran’s Ability to Rebuild Rapidly
The Wall Street Journal has reported that, according to satellite imagery, Iran has already been able to rebuild a large portion of its infrastructure damaged by the US and Israel during the recent war that broke out on February 28, 2026.
The reconstruction projects include new roads and bridges, and rebuilt missile bases and production plants and port facilities.
This serves as evidence that Iran has a strong capacity for quickly rebuilding its military infrastructure. And the fact that Iran has increased its attacks over the past several days against Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan confirms that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is still a well-armed threat to its Middle Eastern neighbors.

Is Trump about to try something new in Iran?
Trump has been quoted by Axios news as saying, “I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it.”
Trump’s announcement comes on the heels of 13 consecutive nights of strikes that, according to US Central Command, are “aimed to hold[ing] Iran accountable and diminish threats from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to commercial shipping.”
Trump went on to say Iran “hasn’t received enough pain yet,” and that Israel is ready to rejoin the fight, and would do so “in two minutes if I ask them to.”

Will Iran try to bait Israel into returning to the war?
Over the last few weeks, Iran hasn’t directly attacked Israel as it did in March 2026. But that could soon change, now that Trump is threatening to scale up the intensity of US strikes against Iran.
Israel is already preparing for the possibility the Iranian regime will strike first. Today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with his inner security cabinet to discuss preparations for whatever might happen next.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has already warned Iran not to strike, saying, “If Iran attacks Israel, it will suffer a crushing blow.”
Israeli officials have said, “We are preparing for escalation because Trump is escalating, and we are waiting to see what he wants and what he decides. We are at maximum alert and maximum readiness.”

Words of Encouragement
From British preacher and writer J.C. Ryle on the subject of heaven:
The very Bible itself only lifts the veil a little, which hangs over this subject. How could it do more? We could not thoroughly understand more, if more had been told us. Our constitution is as yet too earthly, Our understanding is as yet too carnal to appreciate more if we had it. The Bible generally deals with the subject in negative terms, and not in positive assertions. It describes what there will not be in the glorious inheritance, that thus we may get some faint idea of what there will be. It paints the absence of certain things, in order that we may drink in a little the blessedness of the things present. It tells us that the inheritance is incorruptible, undefiled, and fades not away. It tells us that the devil is to be bound, that there shall be no more night and no more curse, that death shall be cast into the lake of fire, that all tears shall be wiped away, and that the inhabitant shall no more say, “I am sick.” And these are glorious things indeed! No corruption! No fading! No withering! No devil! No curse of sin! No sorrow! No tears! No sickness! No death! Surely the cup of the children of God will indeed run over!

Scripture: Our Sure Foundation and Hope
It is a challenge to live in a last-days culture that has become increasingly hostile to believers.
Yet because we are ambassadors for Christ, we’re called to restraint. The apostle Paul had a lot to say about this in Romans 12. Let’s break down his instructions in verses 14-21:
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them” (verse 14). This means to do good to our enemies and to not express hostility toward them.
“Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all” (verse 17). For believers, there is no place for vengeance. Instead, we’re to do what is honorable and right, knowing that others are watching.
“Live peaceably with all” (verse 18). Even when others are combative or unkind to us, we’re to be peaceful in response.
“Never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord’” (verse 19). No matter how serious the wrong done against us, we’re to leave payback to God. He will ensure justice is done—in His timing and His way.
Romans 12 ends with this great counsel: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (verse 21). We should not allow evil to overwhelm us. And if we want to overcome evil—yes, overcome it—the best way to do so is by doing good.
Vengeance accomplishes nothing because our enemy will only see us rather than Christ in us. It’s when we respond with good that Christ in us becomes visible.

Netanyahu Response to NYC Mayor Mamdani
Yesterday in a Fox News interview, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a precise summary of exactly what NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is doing by calling Netanyahu a war criminal and threatening to arrest him:
“Look what he’s doing. He’s fomenting hate. He’s supposed to be the mayor of all New Yorkers—Jews, Christians, Muslims, everyone, but he’s trying to turn one group against the other.”
Netanyahu then went on to say that Jewish New Yorkers are “afraid right now, and I don’t think it’s accidental that after [Mamdani] made this hate speech against Israel and against me, the next day, a Jew is stabbed coming out of a synagogue.”

9/11 Families Do Not Want Mamdani at Ground Zero
Over the past few days, a groundswell of opposition has grown against NYC Mayor Mamdani’s planned visit to Ground Zero for 9/11.
Family members of 9/11 victims have launched a petition that would ban Mamdani from attending the memorial services that day. They point to Mamdani’s past statements and actions, saying, “Our objection is based on his public record—his failure to meaningfully acknowledge the horror of that day, and his employment of, support for, or association with individuals who have minimized 9/11, defended terrorists, or even suggested America ‘deserved’ the attacks.”
Among the reasons cited for this opposition is Mamdani’s reluctance, during his mayoral campaign, to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” and his glowing commendation of Brooklyn imam Siraj Wahhaj. Mamdani said Wahhaj is “one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders”—a comment that drew heavy criticism because of Wajjah’s controversial ties to Islamist extremism.
At one time in the past, Wajjah was on the NYPD’s terror watch list.

Pause in US-Iran Conflict
After 13 consecutive nights of attacks, Trump halted the US strikes against Iran over the weekend. US ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz said that Trump is now “giving talks some space. He’s giving it a little bit of room.”
It is said there are now closed-door negotiations taking place with mediators from Pakistan and Qatar, who are hoping to get the two sides to return to a ceasefire. Iran is not talking directly with the US, but it has asked the mediators to work with Iran and Oman on “mechanisms regarding maritime traffic” in the Strait of Hormuz.
It was Iran’s ongoing missile and drone strikes against commercial ships that instigated the US’s two-week flurry of attacks against Iranian weapons infrastructure around the Strait. Trump has continued to demand that the passageway be kept open for the free transit of cargo ships because of its longtime status as an international trade route.

Pickaxe Mountain in the Crosshairs?
Earlier today, Trump warned he is giving serious consideration to having US forces target Pickaxe Mountain, which, according to Israeli intelligence, is where Iran has hid a large number of nuclear centrifuges for future use.
Trump confirmed the US has been watching the site via satellite surveillance cameras. He said, “We took out their nuclear sites, and we’ll have to take out Pickaxe if we don’t make a deal. If we don’t make a deal, we’ll take it out very easily.”
In the meeting taking place today between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, the latter is reportedly planning to show Israeli intelligence that confirms Iran’s usage of Pickaxe Mountain for nuclear weapons development purposes.

NYC Terrorist Attacks Increase Under Mamdani’s Mayorship
According to Daniel Greenfield at Front Page Magazine, “3 out of 4 Islamic terrorist plots in New York City in the last three years took place after Mamdani’s election ‘victory.’”
We are now seven months into Mamdani’s first year as mayor, and there have already been two terror attacks carried out. Greenfield points out that the last time there were two Muslim terror attacks carried out in the same year in NYC was nine years ago, in 2017.

China Providing Shoulder-Fired Missiles to Iran
China will soon supply Iran with somewhere between 300 to 400 air-defense missile launchers that can be fired from a fighter’s shoulder.
These portable units will use Chinese-made QW-12 and FN-16 missiles, which are infrared-guided and designed to attack low-flying aircraft and drones.
Iran’s plan is to use the weapons to make up for the fact Iran’s current short-range air defenses have been disabled by US and Israeli attacks.

Escalation Between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia
Recently, Iran called upon its terrorist proxy in Yemen, the Houthis, to set up a naval blockade in the Red Sea against Saudi Arabia.
The Houthis set up the blockade—and since then, have attacked at least three Saudi oil tankers. Two were fired upon last week, and another Saudi tanker was attacked with ballistic missiles yesterday “for violating the maritime blockade,” according to the Houthis.
In response, the US and Saudi Arabia have coordinated their efforts to intercept drones being fired at Saudi energy infrastructure by the Houthis as well as by Iranian-backed terrorists in Iraq.
All of this is happening because the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ordered the Houthis to set up the blockade in the Red Sea Strait. As with the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is doing all it can to prevent the export of oil and gas from the region.
Reuters also reported that on Monday, the Houthis “targeted a number of sensitive crude oil supply and transport sites linking eastern Saudi Arabia to the critical Red Sea oil export hub of Yanbu.”
The result is that the US and Saudi Arabia have now joined forces to strike Iran’s terrorist militias in Iraq, which have also been targeting American forces in the region. This marks a significant transition for Saudi Arabia, which has long resisted getting involved in the ongoing Middle East conflict.
Recently, Iran called upon its terrorist proxy in Yemen, the Houthis, to set up a naval blockade in the Red Sea against Saudi Arabia.
The Houthis set up the blockade—and since then, have attacked at least three Saudi oil tankers. Two were fired upon last week, and another Saudi tanker was attacked with ballistic missiles yesterday “for violating the maritime blockade,” according to the Houthis.
In response, the US and Saudi Arabia have coordinated their efforts to intercept drones being fired at Saudi energy infrastructure by the Houthis as well as by Iranian-backed terrorists in Iraq.

Both Trump and Netanyahu Say Meeting Was Productive
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the meeting as “good and productive.”
Netanyahu said the meeting was “excellent” and “one of the best we’ve ever had.” He said, “It was a meeting with full cooperation, with mutual support, with understanding on the joint goal that Iran won’t have nuclear weapons, and also other goals.”
The two heads of state met for 90 minutes. Afterward, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Obviously, many important subjects were discussed.” This would have included talk about the tentative US sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey and the possibility of Saudi Arabia normalizing ties with Israel.
