Editor’s Note: It’s more prudent to invest in a Bernie Madoff scheme than to believe anything Iranian leadership says. They are demonstrably bald-faced liars and their Quran demands that they lie to infidels to achieve their goals. That’s why this “threat” of a secret weapon should be taken with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, it’s newsworthy so we’re reporting on it…
(End of the American Dream)—The Iranians don’t seem to have gotten the memo. President Trump may have decided that it is time to sit down and make a deal, but the Iranians continue to launch missiles at Israeli cities and are threatening to use a new secret weapon. They are not telling us what this new secret weapon is, but Iranian Major General Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi is claiming that it is so powerful that it “will bring an end to the enemy’s operations”…
Iranian Major General Abdollahi said: ‘The use of a new, secret weapon will begin soon and it will bring an end to the enemy’s operations.’
The taunts came just minutes after Trump claimed the two countries had held ‘productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities.’
What kind of weapon could he be talking about?
If it is “secret”, that would seem to imply that it is something that we have never seen the Iranians use before.
And apparently this Iranian general is convinced that it is so powerful that it will win the war for Iran.
Is he telling the truth?
Is he bluffing?
Only time will tell.
What we do know is that the Iranians launched a whole bunch of missiles at Israel after they warned that they had “special events” planned that were intended to “completely remove the hope of negotiations from the minds of the aggressors”…
Iran has launched missiles at Israel after it ominously warned Donald Trump that it has ‘special plans’ for him and the US’s allies in the Gulf, following the American president’s threat to attack the nation’s power plants.
A source told the state-run Fars News Agency: ‘Tonight, special events are planned for Tel Aviv and some regional allies of the US and Israel that will completely remove the hope of negotiations from the minds of the aggressors.’
Iran appears to have made good on the threat, firing missiles at Eilat area in southern Israel, as well as the cities of Dimona and Yeruham. Residents in the Jerusalem area tonight reported hearing loud explosions.
Whoever is currently in charge in Iran doesn’t want to talk.
That much should be very clear to everyone.
The Iranians are insisting that the U.S. and Israel must agree to all of their demands, and they are telling us that even after the war ends “the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will not return to the pre-war situation”…
In a message posted on Telegram by Fars News Agency, sources appeared to reject Donald Trump’s claims of ‘major points of agreement’ between the US and Iran.
The message reads: ‘Informed officials in Iran announced that there were no negotiations and emphasized that until the US completely withdrew, evacuated its bases in the region, paid compensation, and received valid guarantees not to repeat the aggression, neither would the war end nor would the Strait of Hormuz be reopened.
‘According to this report, even after the possible end of the war, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will not return to the pre-war situation.’
The U.S. and Israel will never agree to these demands.
And so the fighting will continue, and there will inevitably be a lot more surprises.
Of course there have already been quite a few surprises during this war.
Experts all over the world were certainly shocked when Iran showed that it could fire missiles at targets more than 4,000 kilometers away…
Before the war, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that Iran could potentially strike targets in Europe. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said last month that Iran had deliberately limited its missile range to 2,000 kilometers.
A range of 4,000 kilometers would expand the potential reach of Iranian missiles significantly, placing parts of Western Europe, including Germany, Finland and Austria, within range. It could also put parts of North and East Africa, including Kenya and Ethiopia, as well as countries in South Asia such as Bangladesh and India, and even parts of China, within reach.
The Iranians were lying to us about the maximum range of their missiles.
And I am convinced that they were lying to us about a lot of other things as well.
If the Iranians choose to use unconventional weapons, the U.S. and Israel will feel absolutely compelled to completely eliminate the regime in Iran.
So let us hope that things don’t escalate that far.
We are also being warned that Iran could choose to target Americans outside of the Middle East…
The US Department of State issued a worldwide security alert Sunday, urging Americans across the globe to be wary of threats from Iran-linked groups.
“The Department of State advises Americans worldwide, and especially in the Middle East, to exercise increased caution. Americans abroad should follow the guidance in security alerts issued by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate,” the State Department said in a statement.
I am particularly concerned about the potential for attacks on U.S. soil.
It would be so easy for Iranian agents to unleash biological agents in heavily populated areas.
Yes, this is a very real possibility.
U.S. officials have been admitting that Iran has an offensive biological weapons program since 1996…
The U.S. government has long assessed that Iran enjoys BW-producing capabilities at the very least, and is or may be operating a BW program itself.
For example, in 1996, the CIA concluded that “Iran holds some stocks of biological agents and weapons. Tehran probably has investigated both toxins and live organisms as biological warfare agents. Iran has the technical infrastructure to support a significant biological weapons program with little foreign assistance.”
In 2000, DCI Nonproliferation Center Director John Lauder testified to Congress that “Iran is pursuing both civilian biotech activities and a biological warfare (BW) program,” that its BW program was then “in the late stages of research and development,” and that Iran “already holds some stocks of BW agents and weapons.”
In 2003 and 2005 reports, the State Department stated that, “Iran has an offensive biological weapons program in violation of the BWC. Iran is technically capable of producing at least rudimentary biological warheads for a variety of delivery systems, including missiles.” In 2011, then–Director of National Intelligence James Clapper stated that “Iran probably has the capability to produce some biological warfare (BW) agents for offensive purposes, if it made the decision to do so. We assess that Iran has previously conducted offensive BW agent research and development. Iran continues to seek dual-use technologies that could be used for BW.”
So don’t believe the talking heads that continue to insist that Iran does not pose this kind of a threat.
Those talking heads literally do not know what they are talking about.
If some sort of a major national emergency does break out, the federal government has put together a list of 14 things that you should have on hand…
Water (one gallon per person per day for several days, for drinking and sanitation)
Food (at least a several-day supply of non-perishable food)
Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert
Flashlight
First aid kit
Extra batteries
Whistle (to signal for help)
Dust mask (to help filter contaminated air)
Plastic sheeting, scissors and duct tape (to shelter in place)
Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties (for personal sanitation)
Wrench or pliers (to turn off utilities)
Manual can opener (for food)
Local maps
Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery
The items on that list won’t get you very far, but at least they are better than having nothing.
If we end up facing a scenario in which some sort of highly contagious pestilence with a very high death rate has been released, you will want to be prepared to stay home for as long as it takes.
There are some bioweapons that have been designed to have a death rate of well over 50 percent.
That is something that you do not want to mess with.
For now, let’s just hope that cooler heads prevail and that the conflict in the Middle East rapidly comes to a conclusion.
If that doesn’t happen, it is inevitable that there will be more escalations, and we could end up seeing weapons get used that should never be used under any circumstances.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
