President Trump prefers to negotiate, not spill blood. But the time for talking is nearly over, and the US is moving warships, weapons, and personnel into Europe and the Middle East. All should be in place by mid-March, and the Iran regime has until February 28 to make peace.

More than one third of the US Navy has been deployed to the Middle East.

• 160 cargo planes

• 48 F-35 stealth jets

• 48 F-16 fighting falcons

• 12 F-22 raptors

• Dozens of heavy transports

• 2 aircraft carriers, plus one coming soon

• B-52 bombers

• 6 AWACS

• 40 refueling aircraft

• 1 command center aircraft

• 1 nuclear submarine

Warning to UK

Trump posted a warning to UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer that he would be making a big mistake to go through with a previous deal to sell a strategic area to Mauritius. Under a deal signed May 22, 2025, the entire Chagos Archipelago and Diego Garcia—an important military base shared by the US—the land would be leased by the UK for 99 years.

The President has flip-flopped on the issue, at first criticizing it, then liking it, and now fiercely against it. The Truth Social post below is his latest expression of distaste.

Above: President Trump’s latest post and the disputed land on which sits an important US military base.

Iran-China-Russia Axis

The nation of Iran is receiving help from China through advanced technology. Iran is fortifying and repairing military and nuclear sites that were bombed earlier by US and Israeli military. Russia has put its navy at the ready and will join Iran for drills in the Sea of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean. Therefore, Iran has advised pilots there will be rocket launches on February 19 for a corridor of airspace.

The USS Lincoln is in the area, too close for comfort.

Meanwhile, Israel is anticipating war, and has put their emergency services on alert. The IDF Home Front Command has been instructed to prepare for war.

US Troops out of Syria

The United States is in the process of withdrawing all of its roughly 1,000 troops from Syria, ending a decade-long military operation in the country aimed at countering the Islamic State. Some forces have already withdrawn and the remaining bases in the country will be turned over to the Syrian Army in the next two months. This has been reported by the Wall Street Journal based on information from three military sources, but has not been confirmed by the Pentagon or White House.

Removing troops from Syria reduces the risk of harm as tension rise with Syria’s new government. Critics worry that this pull-out could lead to a resurgence of ISIS.

Why this Matters: The case for war is Iran’s insistence on building their nuclear assets plus the recent slaughter of her own people for their criticisms. Some estimate that the regime has killed tens of thousands for their political speech and demonstrations. Years of economic sanctions and a failing economy has the mullahs hardening their hearts. Will Iran decide they want outright war with the US?

How to Pray: Only God the Father knows where we are exactly on the prophetic timeline. Pray for peace, but may the Lord prepare us if this means war. Pray for the safety of our troops, the discernment of the President, and an end to the slaughter of civilians in Iran.

Psalm 144:1 - Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

Ecc. 3:1, 8 - To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven… A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
