Day 268 – Iran Threatens Regional War

Iran and its proxies in the Middle East are again threatening an all-out “obliterating war” if Israel launches an offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Islamic Republic’s UN mission posted late on Friday: “Albeit Iran deems as psychological warfare the Zionist Regime’s propaganda about intending to attack Lebanon, should it embark on full-scale military aggression, an obliterating war will ensue,” the post said. “All options including the full involvement of all Resistance Fronts, are on the table.”

Israeli Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, said that Israel is not looking for war with Hezbollah and would prefer diplomatic routes to peace. Nevertheless, Gallant reiterated that Israel was preparing and planning for a wider conflict, and said the ball was in Hezbollah’s court. To complicate matters, right-wing factions within Netanyahu’s fragile coalition are threatening to leave the government if Israel shies away from an all-out confrontation with Hezbollah. If this happens, the coalition will collapse leaving Israel without a functioning government during war.

Please pray for God’s wisdom for Israeli leaders – governmental & military. Please pray for a miracle of diplomatic intervention, or if war is necessary, for a divine victory for Israel and for protection over innocent civilians in Lebanon & Israel.
