Christians have three possibilities:
1. Conform to the spirit of the age, abandon Christ
2. Be eradicated by those following the spirit of the age
3. Stand against and delay wickedness

Arise O Lord. Confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my life from the wicked, with your sword

🚨 BREAKING

Reports of explosions in Ras al-Kheima, UAE, which is home to American military assets.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: US military has begun launching new airstrikes against Iran minutes ago for the ninth consecutive night, per CENTCOM.

Explosions have been heard simultaneously in Tabriz, Chabahar, Khorramabad, Sistan, Konarak, and Bandar-e Mahshahr in Khuzestan, Iran's main oil region. This is the first strike on Tabriz since the ceasefire.

Everyone wants US stocks.

Foreign private sector net purchases of US stocks rose +$35.2 billion MoM in May, to $121 billion, the 2nd-largest inflow on record.

This marks the 2nd consecutive monthly increase.

By comparison, the record monthly inflow was ~$130 billion in November 2024.

Year-to-date, foreign private investors have purchased ~$270 billion of US stocks.

To put this into perspective, foreign investors dumped -$31 billion and -$28 billion of South Korean stocks in June and May, respectively, the two largest monthly outflows on record.

Furthermore, foreign investors also sold -$18 billion of Taiwanese stocks in June, the 2nd-largest sale on record.

Global capital continues to favor US equities over the rest of the world.

BREAKING: Initial reports of up to 20 Iranian ballistic missiles launches minutes ago, targeting sites in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait and Iraq.

Explosions reported in Kuwait and Bahrain.

When someone says that God told them to kill a person, we call them a psychopath. When a nation says that God told them to kill millions of people, we call them Israel.

Just look at the GDP growth of Italy. It's 0.5%. Germany 0.8%. US flirts with 4%. Europe is in dire straits. This is why they need war.

🇷🇺 BLACK SEA BLOCKADE!!! Russia has struck another ship!! Aaaaanddddd it’s gone.

[Martin A. Armstrong @ArmstrongEcon]

Everyone calling for a US stock market crash keeps being wrong for the same reason: they analyze domestically. The more missiles fly abroad, the more foreign capital lands in the US market. External flows override the domestic view.

JUST IN: 🇰🇼 Kuwait says a power and water desalination plant has been attacked for the second time in two days.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Ukrainian drone strikes hit 3 Russian oil facilities in Stavropol in a single night, including a LUKOIL-Yugnefteprodukt oil depot, a Rosneft oil depot in Vyazniki, and an industrial oil depot in Vyazniki.

Major fires erupted at the targeted sites.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: The US has directly struck the Dar Khweyn nuclear power plant construction site in southwestern Iran with multiple projectiles a few hours ago, per Tasnim.

This is the first direct US strike on an Iranian nuclear power plant, with Dar Khweyn being Iran's only commercial nuclear power reactor indigenously designed and built purely by Iran.

This also triggers Iran's IRGC and Yemen‘s warnings from yesterday and earlier this week that any further US strikes on Iranian civilian and power infrastructure would trigger Iran's comprehensive regional infrastructure destruction and Houthi Bab el-Mandeb closure.

This is why helping Ukraine target deep into Russia was dumb.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇦 🇷🇺Russia fired more than 42 ballistic missiles at Kyiv, the largest ballistic barrage on the capital of the entire war.

-Over 42 Russian ballistic missiles reportedly targeted Kyiv in a single attack, an unprecedented concentration against the city since the invasion began

-It follows Ukraine's own escalation: drone strikes on the Moscow and Tambov logistics hubs of Wildberries, Russia's Amazon, killing at least eight and injuring dozens

-Zelensky says the warehouses feed Russia's war machine with sanctioned drone and navigation components, framing the strikes as answering Russian attacks on Ukraine's postal and civilian infrastructure

-Footage from Russia showed smoke plumes stretching dozens of miles as staff fled the burning complexes

-The exchange lands with Putin's approval falling amid relentless drone attacks, gasoline shortages, and battlefield stagnation

NATO's objective of bringing the war to Russia is advancing, as evidenced by today's attack on Wildberries in Moscow. This can only go on for so long before Russia brings the war to NATO territory. Lunacy.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump orders military to "open the gates of hell" on Iran after 2 US soldiers were killed.

[The Iranian Letter @TheIranianzg3z]

BREAKING: U.S. officials believe Iran has significantly upgraded its missile capabilities.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Iran is now using missiles that travel at extremely high speeds and can maneuver during their final descent, making them far more difficult for American missile defense systems to intercept.

Officials are also increasingly concerned by the improved accuracy of Iran’s strikes, with some suspecting Tehran may be receiving targeting assistance from either China or Russia, though no public evidence has been presented to confirm the claim.

🇮🇷⚔️🇺🇸🇯🇴‼️ A former USAF pilot close to CENTCOM claims that at least 3-5 more soldiers aboard the medical evacuation flights will ‘probably not make it’

There are 15 more soldiers with life-threatening, very severe injuries whose fate is also still unclear.
