US Attacks Iran 2026

[JohnH]

I cannot say I’m “pro-war” but I grew up with a mother who insisted for the time I was very young that we had to fight in order to preserve our freedom here, and not becoming a communist nation for what she had witnessed happening in other countries that became communist, and indeed we have that glaring threat upon us now not just the pro socialist communist agenda that’s growing in America, but also the infiltration of Muslims that have infiltrated countries and bringing Sharia law. People need to be awake to the many threats upon us-

Based on all I've observed from Christianity, a greater threat is wealth and security.

Those @can” be a threat but there are so many wealthy Anabaptists within a little over an hour from me, are they guilty? They surely are secure and comfortable as well. No I disagree with you that communism socialism and Islam are not as much of a threat when you see people asleep to their threats.

Wealth and political influence are a snare, and are tearing Holmes County apart at the seams.

Many true hearted Amish are leaving.

Why didn't the Scriptures warn us about those things but quite strongly warn us about wealth?

not Valerie ..
as others, i marvel at scriptures over years+years. inspired, not of human reasoning.

(i believe) scriptures, esp Jesus/NT, warn about what He knows will NOT be easily recognized or understood. He confounds.

What a marvel scriptures make up a relatively tiny Book of inspired Truth (versus, example, buildngs filled with human crafted law).
One Book of Truth has remained relevant for 2000+ years. One Book of Light.

As well, there is no shortage of scriptural warnings about enemies, the enemy, etc., large+small, every sort of presentation.

Wealth+comfort are to be feared; clear in scriptures, proven IRL. “We” don’t like that. It confounds human reasoning.

A bit off-track from what Valerie was aiming at, though, i suspect. Looking forward to her responses.

Scripture does warn us about those things in many ways- look at communist countries that do not allow Christian’s worship? When Russia turned communist look how many millions of Christians were killed. China? Just look at the harm socialism has caused in other countries.
Naturally warnings of Islam & Sharia law were not specifically warned about in the Bible as it didn’t exist yet but certainly there are warnings of false religion and heresy and also against what Sharia law enforces.

Warnings of wealth as of what it “can” but not necessarily do.

It doesn’t look good for peace talks starting up again. The Iranian closed the Strait of Hormuz because of the US blockade and are upset that the US fired on and seized an Iranian ship. It’s unclear whether the Iranians were going to send representatives to this newest round of talks.

But…Trump said a couple of days ago that the Iranians had given in to all of the US’s demands.

Supposedly Iran also fired on a French vessel, so both sides are doing exactly what they claimed they would do and both sides claiming it’s a violation.

This is why responsible treaty negotiations are carried out quietly over time by lower level officials and only once the sausage is made are the big wheels brought in to officiate. As I recall the last treaty with Iran took several years. What we are witnessing is madness.

(i think) T is cabn be naive and overly trusting wrt respectng others’ words.
as reflected with Putin and Zelensky.

(i think) T believes there are practical solutions AND when everyone involved has BOTH a stake in the matter AND potential gain, this is a tangible path to peace, resolution.

he loathes bloodshed of every description, on all sides, drug abuse, human trafficking .. all of which have worsened IN HIS LIFETIME under career poltician “leadership”; people he personally knows. he desires to cut through it for positive results.

the personal cost to him for trying is beyond description.

at the same time, he’s the only POTUS i’m aware of that looks better today than he did in 2016.
he has aged. there are signs of aging. all things considered, he looks good.

i couldn’t do it. i don’t know any who could. i’m sure they exist. i don’t personally know of anyone.
i know unusual people exist. every one God created.

Iran is an internal mess.

This is another reason why decapitation strikes make it very hard to make peace treaties after the fact…
