Eigentlich gilt seit dem 8. April eine Waffenruhe zwischen den USA, Iran und Israel. Doch nach iranischen Raketenangriffen auf Israel, israelischen Gegenschlägen und neuen US-Luftangriffen auf iranische Militärziele steht die Vereinbarung so stark unter Druck wie noch nie. Aus einer ohnehin brüchigen Waffenruhe ist innerhalb weniger Tage wieder ein militärischer Schlagabtausch geworden. Auslöser der jüngsten Eskalation waren israelische Angriffe im Libanon, auf die Iran mit Raketenbeschuss auf Israel reagierte. Israel schlug zurück. Wenig später griffen die USA nach dem Abschuss eines Militärhubschraubers iranische Ziele an, Iran wiederum attackierte US-Stützpunkte in der Golfregion. Die entscheidende Frage lautet jetzt: Was ist diese Waffenruhe überhaupt noch wert – oder rutscht die Region Schritt für Schritt zurück in einen offenen Krieg? Darüber sprechen wir im Weltspiegel Podcast mit der ARD-Korrespondentin Katharina Willinger, zuständig für den Iran, und ARD-Korrespondent Jan-Christoph Kitzler in Tel Aviv. Gemeinsam ordnen sie die jüngsten Entwicklungen ein und bewerten die Chancen auf eine diplomatische Lösung des Konflikts.

Trump Is Losing. Why Does America Feel Like It's Losing Too? Donald Trump keeps taking hits. His proposed projects are stalling. Legal troubles continue to mount. Poll numbers are sliding. Key initiatives face growing opposition. Even on major international issues, his answers seem increasingly detached from the realities Americans face every day. By many measures, Donald Trump is losing. But if Trump is losing, why does it feel like America is losing too? For millions of Americans, life is becoming harder, not easier. Housing costs remain out of reach. Grocery prices continue to strain family budgets. Political divisions are deeper than ever. Washington remains gridlocked while everyday people struggle to build stable, secure lives. So what happens if Trump's setbacks don't translate into victories for the rest of us? Today, Karel examines the uncomfortable reality that one politician's losses don't automatically become America's wins. More importantly, we'll explore what real success looks like for ordinary Americans—and how we can create it regardless of who occupies the White House. Are we trapped in a cycle where everyone loses? Or is there a path forward that neither political party seems willing to discuss? Join the conversation.

There are moments in political history when the mask slips, and what was once hinted at suddenly stands in full view. The America 250 celebration was supposed to be about the founding of a nation, the providence of God, the liberties purchased by blood, and the history of a republic now staggering under the weight of its own apostasy. But in the new ‘political religion' of our day, out nation is no longer the attraction, the Constitution is no longer the attraction. Even God is certainly not the attraction. Donald Trump is the attraction. Just remember this, in Trump's TPUSA version of Christian Nationalism, the King James Bible believer is near the top of their ‘enemies list'. Remember that.“And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.” Acts 12:21-23 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, President Donald Trump called Saturday for the cancellation of upcoming concerts celebrating America's 250th anniversary after several musical acts backed out, saying they should be replaced by a political rally headlined by himself. “So I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime…and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate ‘Artists.” Trump said he was ordering aides to assess “the feasibility of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally” on the mall, where he would deliver a speech “rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President!” Yesterday, Trump said that anyone who disagrees with how he is conducting his failing war in Iran is “unpatriotic”, making Trump worship the definition of what it means to be an American patriot. Remember how we thought Barack Obama was narcissistic? This exceeds that by a factor of ten, maybe a hundred. Trump is surrounded by yes-men syncophants who dote on his every tweet, and carry out his every wish. Not one Christian anywhere in the White House as all of it has been given over to Satan. When I think about the upcoming events related to America's anniversary over the next 5 weeks, I have a horrible sense of foreboding in my spirit regarding the safety and future of our once-great nation. Today we bring you all the news you need to know here on Day 2,268 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve!

The question is not whether Steven Spielberg knows some classified secret about aliens living among us. The question is why the culture keeps being pushed, decade after decade, toward the same conclusion: mankind is not alone, mankind is being watched, mankind is being prepared, and at some appointed moment a hidden truth will be unveiled to the entire world. The Bible believer already knows mankind is not alone. But what is watching this world is not benevolent space brothers from a distant galaxy. It is a fallen spiritual kingdom, working behind the scenes, preparing this present evil world for the arrival of Antichrist. That's the bad news, but we also have some very, very Good News to share as well.“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,” 2 Thessalonians 2:9 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Spielberg's Disclosure Day may be fiction, but fiction has always been one of the Devil's favorite testing grounds. It lets him introduce ideas before they are implemented. It lets him normalize the unthinkable. It lets him train generations to respond emotionally before they ever have to respond doctrinally. So no, this movie is not proof that aliens are among us. But yes, it is another loud signal that the world is being conditioned for something. The language of disclosure, revelation, contact, proof, and global truth is now everywhere. The world is not being prepared to meet “aliens.” It is being prepared to receive a counterfeit revelation that will draw men further away from the truth of the King James Bible and deeper into the coming kingdom of Antichrist. That makes the question this. How should the Bible Believer live in a time when all these things are going on? The answer is simple. We are to do the Lord's work of preaching, teaching and evangelizing with the gospel until He comes to get us. Whenever that may be. Towards that end, on this program, we will also be announcing the launch of ‘Operation:Africa!' that began this week, and share with you the amazing new door that the Lord has opened for us with the Gospel Ministry on the African continent.
