Troops On The Ground_ Trump Vows _Whatever It Takes_ To Defeat Iran! by Ron Paul Liberty Report

The panel debates whether Iran's regional strikes signal desperation or strategy. They analyze retaliation risks, civilian infrastructure threats, Middle East alliances shifting, and how long the conflict could last. Will Iran escalate, surrender, or lash out before the clock runs out?

5pm: Trump vows to continue attacks on Iran, says more US troops ‘likely’ to die // Which Iranian Leaders Have Been Killed and Who Survived // At least 22 people killed in Pakistan as protesters try to storm US Consulate // Letters

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 2, 2026. We break down the U.S. and Israeli strikes that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and over 40 senior military leaders, along with Iran's retaliatory missile attacks on multiple Middle Eastern nations including U.S. bases in Kuwait (resulting in six American service member deaths). We discuss President Trump's announcement that operations will continue for weeks to dismantle Iran's ballistic missile capabilities, urging the Iranian people to rise up and reclaim their government. We cover the broader geopolitical shifts: Iran's isolation in the region after targeting Arab states like Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE; Lebanon's move to outlaw and disarm Hezbollah following Israeli strikes; disruptions to Russia's drone supply for Ukraine; China's loss of significant oil imports through the Strait of Hormuz; and the sidelining of European NATO allies from prior intelligence sharing. We also look at domestic reactions, including protests where Iranian-Americans expressed jubilation while some leftist groups condemned the action, and Bill Clinton's congressional testimony on Jeffrey Epstein connections. The American Mamas share their strong support for the strikes, highlighting the joy among Iranian people and frustration with media eulogies for Khamenei versus criticism of conservatives. Additional topics include a possible terror incident in Austin linked to an attacker wearing pro-Iran symbols, Rep. Ryan Zinke's retirement from Congress due to medical needs from past injuries, and First Lady Melania Trump's historic chairing of a UN Security Council meeting focused on child protection through education.

Trump Vows “Big Wave” Of Attacks On Iran In Coming Days, Won't Rule Out Boots On The Ground, Plus Domestic Terror Threat Puts Americans On Edge

Jackie Fox, RTÉ Washington Correspondent, has the latest from the US on the conflict in Iran.

As kids, we made “pinky promises” to signify our commitment to the silly, yet very serious nature of our words. It was a way to build trust and bonds within friendships. Keeping that child-like faith, as Christians, we must never take a vow to God lightly. Vows made to God are binding; more serious than any promise made to another person. Always make your vows to God with great care because, as Pastor Dan teaches, only fools leave their vows unfulfilled, and God takes no pleasure in fools.

The United States and Israel hit Iran with a fresh wave of attacks Sunday - a day after the assassination of the country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has vowed retaliation - continuing its own airstrikes on a number of countries in the region. An interim council is running the country. But Khamenei's death, along with the killings of several senior Iranian figures, has created uncertainty about Iran's future.Also: In a ten year period ending in 2024, Canada had more than five thousand reported cases of human trafficking. And the Northwestern Ontario city Thunder Bay had the highest average annual rate. Many of the victims often don't know they're being groomed. But those who have gone through it are playing a key role in trying to protect those at risk.And: Skin cancer rates are on the rise in Canada. But as people turn to sunscreen for protection, the number on the bottle isn't always trustworthy. The CBC Marketplace team sent samples from one brand of sunscreen to several labs for testing. And the results they got back were wildly different.Plus: More reaction to the conflict in Iran, the effect of motherhood on orcas, and more.

Teacher: Kerry BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyPsalm 117 commands the nations.Psalm 118 governs the redeemed.These Psalms establish that Yahuah's rule is universal, His truth endures, trust reveals allegiance, and access to His gates is not assumed.This is not emotional worship.This is covenant declaration.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGE1. The Nations Are Commanded to PraisePsalm 117:1–2Praise is not invitation, it is command.Refusal to acknowledge Yahuah is not neutrality, it is insubordination.His mercy toward Israel is public witness to the world, and His truth does not expire.2. Covenant Categories and Fear of YahuahPsalm 118:1–4Israel.House of Aaron.Those who fear Yahuah.Covenant identity is defined, not assumed.Fear distinguishes the loyal from the indifferent.3. Trust in Yahuah or Functional IdolatryPsalm 118:5–9“It is better to trust in Yahuah than to put confidence in man.”Trust reveals allegiance.Persistent confidence in man over Yahuah becomes functional idolatry.Deliverance confirms ownership.4. Correction, Not AbandonmentPsalm 118:15–18Yahuah chastens but does not immediately give over to destruction.Correction is mercy.But correction despised invites removal.5. The Gate of Righteousness and Restricted AccessPsalm 118:19–21Entrance is not automatic.“The righteous shall enter.”Access belongs to the aligned, not the self-justified.6. The Rejected Stone and Divine VerdictPsalm 118:22–23The stone rejected by builders becomes the cornerstone.Rejection by men does not cancel Yahuah's decree.Those who reject what He establishes remove themselves from the structure.7. Deliverance Demands VowPsalm 118:24–29Public rescue requires public loyalty.Vows are not sentimental.Ingratitude erodes covenant faithfulness.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSThe nations are accountable.Fear defines covenant identity.Trust exposes allegiance.Access is governed.Rejection does not overturn divine appointment.Deliverance demands obedience.Psalm 117 establishes global authority.Psalm 118 enforces covenant loyalty.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYGenesis 12Deuteronomy 7, 10Psalm 24Psalm 115Isaiah 28, 45Jeremiah 17Daniel 2Malachi 3Matthew 21Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.FINAL WORDYou are either trusting Yahuah or replacing Him.You are either entering through the gate of righteousness or assuming access.You are either aligning with the cornerstone or standing outside the structure.There is no third category.Final Heart Check:When pressure comes, where does your trust run?When correction comes, do you submit or resist?When Yahuah establishes what others reject, where do you stand?

In this week's episode, we continue our deep dive into The Five Ethics with a modern exploration of brahmacharya, often translated as the wise use of energy. What does this ancient ethical guideline have to do with our sexuality, relationships and personal boundaries? We are joined by Jessy Wollen, a Certified Sexual Health Educator and founder of Shift Education, for a frank and compassionate conversation that moves this practice beyond simplistic notions of celibacy to explore: How consent is a foundational practice of brahmacharya, teaching us to encounter all beings with respect and dignity. Why exploring our own sexuality and values is vital for self-awareness and healthy relationships. Practical ways to approach conversations about bodies, boundaries, and respect with young people.
