BLUF

Israel’s surprise Iron Dagger air campaign just punched holes in Iran’s nuclear heartland, and the shockwaves are already rattling oil markets and Beijing’s long-term energy plans. 18 months of covert ops that softened Iran’s defenses (Predatory Sparrow hacks, Damascus consulate strike, solid-fuel missile factory hits). Day-5 scorecard: casualties, destroyed SAM batteries, and Iran’s shrinking missile arsenal. China’s chess move, how Beijing is padding strategic reserves, fast-tracking the Power-of-Siberia 2 gas line, and angling to play neutral broker.

Israel’s surgical strikes, built on 18 months of covert groundwork, gutted Iran’s nuclear ambitions and air defenses, hitting key sites like Natanz and killing senior commanders. Over 200 Iranians, and 24 Israelis are dead, with Iran’s missile count slashed. Oil jumped 13% after strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field, squeezing global energy markets. China, heavily reliant on Iranian oil, is stockpiling reserves and rushing Russian gas deals to insulate itself. Beijing’s eyeing a mediator role, securing its energy while playing neutral. For conservative Christians, this is a wake-up call, global instability threatens our homeland. Jon’s livestream lays out the stakes, what this means for our Republic, and why preparedness is non-negotiable.

PRACTICAL TIPS

Israel’s Iron Dagger strikes and China’s energy maneuvers signal rising fuel costs. Secure your family’s energy needs now. Store 20 gallons of gasoline or diesel in approved containers, using a stabilizer like PRI-G to keep it viable for two years. Rotate every 18 months. For backup power, get a dual-fuel generator (propane/gasoline) and stock 100 gallons of propane, which lasts indefinitely. Store fuel in a ventilated, locked shed, clear of your home, and check local laws for limits. This shields you from price spikes or shortages if Iran escalates or China’s moves disrupt global supply. Stay sharp, pray for discernment, and prep like your life depends on it, because it just might.
