A news report from CNN [see also this Time magazine story] states the following:
“The US has obtained new intelligence suggesting that Israel is making preparations to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, even as the Trump administration has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Tehran, multiple US officials familiar with the latest intelligence told CNN.”
Iran has more than a few locations where work on their nuclear weapons program occurs. Different tasks occur in different locations. But the most important locations are Natanz and Fordow, where uranium is enriched to near-weapon grade levels. Enrichment occurs in gas centrifuges, with many centrifuges connected in a series called a centrifuge cascade. Enrichment to 20% U-235 is two steps from the 90+% Weapon Grade Uranium (WGU). Enrichment to 60% is one short step from WGU. It is possible, with Iran’s advanced centrifuges, to go from 20% to over 90% in one long step, using two cascades (hundreds of centrifuges) connected together.
Right now, Iran can make enough WGU for around a dozen nukes in only a few months. How much time would it take them to turn that weapon-grade uranium gas into metal and then complete the remaining steps to make working nukes? Anywhere from 2 months to 6 or more months, depending on the state of their overall nuclear program.
If Israel or the U.S. were to attack Natanz and Fordow, the two sites of uranium enrichment, work on nuclear weapons might not stop. Such an attack would be devastating to the Iranian nuclear program. But it is possible that Iran has a third covert uranium enrichment site. It is also possible that such a covert site has already produced enough WGU for a few nuclear weapons. And while there are no public assessments saying that Iran already has one or more completed nuclear weapons, this also remains a real possibility.
A military attack on Iran by Israel or the U.S. or both could possibly trigger Iran to use an existing covertly-completed nuclear bomb OR to complete a nuclear bomb using a covert facility, one already stocked with diverted centrifuges and enriched uranium.
Another possibility is that a successful military attack on Iran’s nuclear program will result in continued efforts to gain nuclear weapons, even by purchasing nukes from another nation (Russia or Pakistan, for example). Such a purchase would be done without the permission of the heads of State, rather through sympathetic intelligence or military sources. A military attack on Iran’s nuclear program, in any case, virtually guarantees that when Iran eventually gains nuclear weapons, they will use them.
Would Iran nuke Israel? Maybe not. A nuclear attack on Israel would risk radioactive fallout on surrounding Arab/Muslim nations, isolating Iran from the Arab and Muslim world. An attack on the United States would be likely to have the opposite effect, rallying the peoples and nations of the middle east and northern Africa to join with Iran against the West. The ultimate goal of Iran would be a war with the West that would give Iran and its allies much more power.
Iran cannot reach the U.S. with a missile. But an ordinary commercial ship could sail into any major port in the U.S., including New York or L.A. or Washington D.C., carrying a nuclear bomb that the ship’s crew set off manually. United States ports need defenses against such an attack: means to check for radiation in a ship, as well as worldwide tracking of all ships to see any approaching possible threat in advance.

the reproach of Christ 
All my prayers are being offered to President Trump and the USA for it is he and his coalition’s decisions which will affect the majority of people around the world.
As I take a look of what is taking place, I truly feel sorry for him with the weight of the world upon his shoulders.
I believe President Trump knows a multi-prong war with Iran, China, Russia and to some degree Mexico is untenable. He can only thread the needle so much in protecting the sovereignty of the USA.
I believe the following scenarios will take place in a sequential and continuous manner:
Just reported – Iran and USA talks are finished. Iran gave their last proposal to the USA which stated that Iran will continue to enrich their uranium and we should dismantle the nuclear program of Israel.
Iran’s mindset is that they invite war just as long as they don’t start it.
Talking about Poking the Bear.
I don’t think we will see any bombing of Iran at all from any party, including Israel. We are barking up the wrong tree here. The risks are too high, and now that Netanyahu and Syria are on trumps favorites list, I see nothing but business as usual with these states and the status quo. The objective of prayers and concern need to remain focused on the Russian federation. The spider web operation conducted by Ukraine on Russian strategic nuclear bombers needs to remain paramount, because there will be a response to that. Those planes were left out in the open on purpose. We will know very very soon what their mindset is on that attack, and what they will do. I see explosion of a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine as a random “accidental” act near Kiev, or possibly the same in the US. The effort here will be to mirror the destruction of the drone attack as Russia raises their hands and denies involvement. Expect a tit for tat exchange with Ukraine, with no response from trump.
My initial reaction to the delay for Israel and United States in attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities does cause a little concernment. However, I have learned that when President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu speak and say Iran will not have any nuclear bombs – I believe them.
I am of the belief that Israel and USA will attempt to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities in the next 2 weeks. There has been reporting of Iran’s missile program being one half mile deep in the earth. Should it be true, that could be one of the reasons for delay. My opinion is they are just assuring themselves of their tactical plans.
As for Ukraine and Russia, President Trump was recently asked about any progress in the ceasefire talks, Mr. Trump response was give them time to kill each other a little while longer. President Trump knows the hatred between Zelinsky and Putin needs to wane prior to any agreements of peace. President’s Trump will not get directly involved in this war unless the war comes to him.
The migrant problem in Europe and the USA has caused civil unrest in their respective countries. Once the attack against Iran begins, we will see civil unrest become tenfold. I am praying the governments of Europe and USA are aware and have plans for the upcoming insurrections.
Stranger than Fiction
Should President Trump be able to carry out his full term and he has both houses of congress, I would not be surprised for the following scenario to arise:
First, let me say that Russia, China and the USA will ty to avoid an all out war which would cripple mankind.
Second, there are many bad faith actors out there whom would love the USA to get directly involved in war with China and Russia (ie. Globalists, War Complex Machine, Several Senators in the USA and European nations).
Europe does not want the USA to be an even more prominent economic power than it is today. There is a possibility where Great Britain gave the drones to Ukraine for attacking Russia without USA’s knowledge. They did this not for Ukraine’s defense but to lore Russia into a global warfare. I think it is a possibility that Putin is correct when he said that Great Britain is trying to start WW3. It is peculiar that King Charles and Senator Graham visited Ukraine prior to releasing the drone attacks on Russia’s soil. Let me say that I completely agree with Ukraine in taking the fight to Russia’s soil.
Should Europe and especially its NATO members try to antagonize Russia further and it does not align with President Trump’s vision – Beware – USA might leave NATO and form a new alliance with Russia, China and possibly India. This alliance could be formed where their economies would greatly flourish and there would be no need for confrontation and wars.
It is far-fetched – I know.
I have not thought this through in conjunction with the End of Times but I currently do not see any major contradictions. WW3 might only concern Iran, Israel, USA , Europe and some other countries in Africa and Middle E.ast.
CIA intel was used for that level of covert attack and Russia will soon be aware of this, as they already suspect it. US satellites provided imagery and locations of the planes as Ukraine simply doesn’t have that ability. The west will be implicated and held accountable once the investigation concludes. That’s when it will get ugly
The Good and the Bad:
Marxists take over S. Korea after Election and now enter a new socialist era.
Poland rejects Globalist government and faces collapse.
Netherlands sees their PM announce Resignation. Migration sighted as the main cause.
Starmer of Great Britain declares UK ready for WWIII.
AI Models become defiant towards their engineers—–
Sabotaging Shutdown Commands
Blackmailing Engineers
Copying themselves to External Servers
Writing self-replicating Malware
Leaving Messages to future versions to evade human control.
This is very frightening and it appears the Bad outweighs the Good.
Although prayer is very powerful, it cannot alter the preordained acts of the End of Times. We are now seeing the collapse of civility throughout the world. As we look into the Russia and Ukraine war, we find two leaders with genuine hatred towards each other. There can never be peace between these two countries until their mindsets are changed in a more meaningful and compassionate way of life. The latest incursion by Ukraine into Russia with their drones demonstrates the lethality
of drones coming from trucks causing grave destruction. Ukraine has said the planning of the attacks was in the works for 18 months.
I believe Iran has their sleeper cells in the western countries and will awake all cells to coordinate attacks causing extensive damage just as Ukraine did to Russia. The upcoming attacks on Iran to destroy their nuclear facilities will be the catalyst in unleashing such damage against the west.
The migration of Islam terrorists into the western civilization could never work due to ideology and cultural differences. We now have a city in Great Britain being overrun by Islamists. We also have chaos in Paris, France.
The USA is constantly facing aggressive actions from migrants whether they are here legally or illegally. President Xi is no longer in control of China. All of his close associates have disappeared. Will the changing of guard expedite war on Taiwan, Philippines, Japan, S. Korea and Australia?
The upcoming Presidential election in S. Korea is now seeing a candidate with close ties to N. Korea and China being in the lead.
South Africa continues with slavery, rape and murder.
Prayer might lessen the overall demise of society but it will be the Almighty God to awaken the hearts and souls of humankind towards a better life. We still have another 200 plus years until we all live in harmony.
Oops – another 400 plus years until we all live in harmony.
The situation is very complicated. Russia attacked Ukraine 3 years ago. And my goal here is not to blame the current situation on Ukraine or anything like that. I just say that we are ON THE BRINK. And it will be just desperately too late to put the blame on anyone post factum when the survivors of us will be underground or on irradiated waste land resembling Moon and Mars (or maybe worse). We need decisive measures by the top leaders of the Catholic Church to redo the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as urgent as they do other things (like electing the pope for day and a half, or deciding other much less important things). Please understand we will not have Undo button after the red button is pushed. But it will not happen, God will not permit it. Believe that if you will, contrary to the explicit words of Our Lady sent by God. It will be Over for the civilization built for thousands years. Some may want it. But obviously God doesn’t want it if He sent Our Lady to prevent it. It will be OVER as Christendom, as Catholic culture, church buildings, everything we know and value. With sparse pockets of survival mostly underground. If that is not understood by our Church leaders then they need to study a survival course for high school in either Russia or Ukraine under shells. It is INCOMPREHENSIBLE how several popes chose not to do the requirement, and pope Francis indeed did it but including Ukraine and environmental issues in the consecration that were never asked for by Our Lady. Moreover, we don’t know if all bishops participated or some did not. They play with the lives of billions, as cardinal Bea said per Malachi Martin report.
I’m sorry if I am blunt, I understand Ukraine is under heavy bombardment and wants to defend itself by shooting at those same bombers that bomb them everyday, by shooting at Putin’s helicopter who gives the commands, and so on. I understand the hell of Russian disproportionate bombing of infrastructure in Ukraine.
But that all will pale hundred, thousand times in the face of a full blown WW3. If something is not done now. It wouldn’t matter anymore post factum. Do we understand that? And if few of us are not saved somehow, there will be no more Christianity as well.
Instead of Israel and Iran, Ukraine strikes Russian nuclear bombers. It is contrary to all we expected from prophecy. And still, Malachi Martin mentioned Russia and Kiev in his 1997 interview with Art Bell. The truth is, we don’t know how it will all unfold. And the Church continues to do the mistakes of past popes by not fulfilling Fatima to the letter in each and every respect and in timely manner. What profit to know that WW2 could be even worse should Pius XII didn’t mention Russia in that encyclical? Wasn’t WW2 bad enough? What profit to hear Lucia’s words after 1984 consecration that you see, Russia is converting in a process slowly? We are now 41 years later in 2025 on the brink of nuclear annihilation. Literally. Full stop. For some reason the consecration done by pope Francis did not bring the expected fruits. Why not to be renewed consecration tomorrow? We might be living in the last days before the Chastisement. God is not obliged to give us any other warning, after decades of warnings.
Dear mr. Conte
If You don’t mind I would like to ask You for a personal favour. Yesterday I was on a PET-CT scan and a concerning growth in my right knee was discovered. Right now, nobody knows what it is for sure. It could very well be something benign or very serious. This whole situation stresses me any my family very much out.
I would like to ask You, if You would be willing to pray for my healing, so that God would remove everything bad from my knee?
thank You very much
God bless You.
I will pray for you. But keep in mind that we must all submit to the will of God.
Thank You very much.
God bless You.
I have a different take on the upcoming bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites. I believe the USA and Israel are in lockstep with each other on when the attack will commence. During the past six weeks, Iran has stated over and over again they will not give up their enrichment programs. It is the USA intentions to prolong their dialogue with Iran until Israel and USA have completed all surveillance and is convinced of their specific plans of attack.
After the attack, I believe Iran will attack England, France, Italy and the USA via dirty nuclear bombs. Iran has had enough enriched uranium for dirty bombs for sometime now and I would not be surprised if the bombs are already in place to be detonated.
The bigger questions to follow are:
What will China do with Taiwan?
What will Russia do with Ukraine?
What will happen with Pakistan and India?
What will happen with N. Korea and S. Korea?
