Breaking: Israel Hits Iran — Operation Rising Lion Targets Nuclear Sites, Middle East on Edge

Israel Hits Iran’s Nuclear Core as Prophecy and War Converge

Explosions shook Iran’s capital overnight as Israel launched a bold and unprecedented airstrike on key Iranian nuclear and military facilities. The operation, dubbed Operation Rising Lion, marks the most dramatic escalation in the long-simmering conflict between the Jewish state and the Islamic Republic—and may fulfill a prophetic chain of events many believe moves us from Psalm 83 into the threshold of Ezekiel 38-39 known as the “War of Gog and Magog.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that dozens of Israeli jets penetrated Iranian airspace, targeting the Natanz nuclear enrichment site, major missile storage facilities, and senior Iranian scientists involved in Iran’s nuclear weapons program. In a fiery national address, Netanyahu declared, “Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation to develop the means to achieve that goal.”

"We struck at the heart of Iran’s nuclear weaponization program... We struck at the heart of Iran’s ballistic missile program... and we struck for the future safety of Israel and the world,” said Netanyahu.

Operation Rising Lion: What We Know

Israeli F-35s and long-range drones reportedly bypassed Iranian air defenses under heavy electronic warfare cover.
At least five nuclear-related facilities were hit, including Natanz and Fordow.
Israel also targeted long-range missile systems and command centers.
Explosions rocked Tehran and Isfahan, sparking blackouts and panic across the cities.

Iranian state media has acknowledged "multiple enemy strikes" and vowed retaliation. Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders had warned previously that any attack on nuclear facilities would trigger a direct missile barrage against Israeli cities—a threat now on high alert.

Israel has declared a nationwide state of emergency, with civilians receiving texts instructing them to remain close to bomb shelters. The IDF is on full combat footing, preparing for what officials fear could be a massive retaliatory missile strike in the coming hours.

President Trump Responds

In a rare moment of public candor regarding military matters, President Donald J. Trump confirmed he had advised U.S. military and diplomatic personnel to evacuate non-essential staff from Iraq and other Middle East locations, citing the "high likelihood of escalation."

“I do not want conflict,” Trump said, “but Iran cannot be allowed to get the bomb. I hope Israel does not need to go further—but I will always support their right to defend themselves from genocide.”

Trump, however, emphasized that the U.S. was not currently participating in the strikes, a decision that could leave Israel isolated in the face of overwhelming retaliation.

Prophetic Timeline: Psalm 83 to Ezekiel 38-39?

According to Pastor Paul Begley, a leading voice on end-times prophecy and my coauthor of Revelation 911, recent developments suggest a shift from the prophetic fulfillment of Psalm 83—which portrays a confederation of nations plotting to erase Israel from memory—toward the more apocalyptic scenario in Ezekiel 38–39, known as the "War of Gog and Magog. He believes Israel’s strike on Iran could mark a significant turning point in that prophetic timeline.

Psalm 83:4 (KJV)

"They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance."

This scripture describes a time when surrounding nations conspire to destroy Israel, a scenario that many believe reflects the current geopolitical climate.

Ezekiel 38:2–5 (KJV)

“Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog… Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them… all of them with shield and helmet.”

Ezekiel identifies Persia—modern-day Iran—as one of the central aggressors in a future invasion of Israel. Bible scholars have long debated when this war will begin, but the current strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities could very well be the spark that triggers broader conflict.

Ezekiel 38:8 (KJV)

“In the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword… against the mountains of Israel.”

Ezekiel 38:16 (KJV)

“And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel… it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land.”

Bible scholars have long debated the timing of the Ezekiel 38-39 war, which describes a powerful coalition—including Persia (modern-day Iran), Russia, and others—launching an attack on Israel in the latter days. With Israel now directly targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, many view this moment as a possible spark for that prophesied conflict.

Revelation 911

Is this the final chapter of history?
In Revelation 911, Pastor Paul Begley and six-time #1 bestselling author Troy Anderson reveal jaw-dropping links between today’s global chaos and ancient end-time prophecies. From pandemics to political unrest, this powerful book decodes the signs and prepares believers for what’s coming next.

Military Experts Warn: “No Going Back”

Ben Jensen of the Center for Strategic and International Studies warned, “To say this situation is explosive is an understatement. Iran and Israel are standing on a powder keg. If Iran responds, the conflict could engulf the region—possibly dragging the U.S. in.”

CBS reports that the Pentagon does not currently intend to assist Israel unless U.S. troops are directly attacked, but 3,000 troops in Iraq and 1,000 in Syria remain vulnerable. Iran has already threatened to target U.S. bases if its soil is attacked.

The Strike Package: What Israel Hit

According to Israeli military sources and international intelligence:

Natanz & Fordow – Underground nuclear enrichment centers.
Tehran Research Reactor – A site associated with high-level uranium processing.
Ballistic Missile Facilities – Sites capable of delivering nuclear payloads.
Top Nuclear Scientists – Reports suggest targeted assassinations of personnel linked to Iran’s nuclear advancement.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said the goal is clear: to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions before they become an existential threat to Israel and the West.

“We will not allow a nuclear holocaust. Never again is now.”

HISTORIC PARALLELS & SPIRITUAL IMPLICATIONS

Netanyahu invoked the Holocaust and failures of pre-WWII appeasement to justify the strike: “Nearly a century ago, leaders failed to act in time. Today, Israel has learned the lessons of history.”

From a biblical standpoint, the echoes are chilling. The timing, the players, the stakes—all align with prophetic warnings found in Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Daniel.

Pastor Begley added: “We must pray. The remnant must arise. This war is not just about missiles and reactors—it’s about destiny, prophecy, and survival.”

PROPHETIC INSIGHTS: Revelation 911 and the Rise of Apollyon

In light of the Israeli strike on Iran, prophetic voices are warning that we may be stepping into the most pivotal moment in modern biblical fulfillment. The late-night explosions in Tehran aren’t just geopolitical—they are spiritual.

Pastor Paul Begley and I have long warned that the world is approaching the moment when the "bottomless pit" is opened and Apollyon—the Destroyer—emerges, ushering in global chaos and judgment.

“This is not just a regional war—it’s a Revelation 911 alert. Apollyon is coming. The pit is beginning to crack open.” – Pastor Paul Begley

Revelation 9:1-2, 11 (KJV) describes this terrifying event:

“And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit… And there arose a smoke out of the pit... And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.”

For months, global tensions, violent protests, cosmic disturbances, and technological disruptions have been building. Now, with Israel's strike against Iran—a nation many scholars identify as Persia in the Bible—we may be crossing a line between Psalm 83 warfare and the prophetic conflict detailed in Ezekiel 38-39.

Key Scriptures to Watch in This Hour:

Psalm 83 – Describes a confederation of nations surrounding Israel with the intent to wipe her out.
Ezekiel 38-39 – Foretells of Gog and Magog (which includes Persia) launching an end-times invasion against Israel.
Revelation 9 – Warns of a demonic release and the rise of Apollyon.
Daniel 8:24-25 – Speaks of a fierce king arising who “shall destroy wonderfully… and by peace shall destroy many.”

These aren’t just metaphors. The Revelation 911 team believes the supernatural veil is thinning, and we are now entering the days of prophetic convergence, where spiritual warfare and geopolitical conflict collide.

“We’ve entered the Days of the Trumpet. The fifth trumpet is about to sound. What you see happening in Iran and Israel is a mirror of the invisible war raging in the heavens.” – Troy Anderson, author of The Trump Code and Revelation 911

Call to the Church: Watch and Pray

This is the hour to be awake, repentant, and prepared. As the nations rage and missiles fly, God is speaking through His Word, His prophets, and the unfolding signs.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers…” – Ephesians 6:12
“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments…” – Revelation 16:15

Stay tuned for continued prophetic analysis from Revelation 911, including video updates from Pastor Paul Begley, spiritual warfare insights from the Battle Ready News team, and reporting from Israel and Washington.
