US Air and Naval Forces Ready For Battle Over Strait of Hormuz
US Navy Commander Adm. Jonathan Greenert said preparations for a clash in the Strait of Hormuz (between the US and Iran) were keeping him up at night. The US Admiral added: “If you’re asking me why I’m not sleeping at night, it’s because of the Strait of Hormuz and what’s happening in the Arabian (Persian) Gulf. I’m an organizer, a trainer and equipper. I’d make sure that our people have the right equipment to do the right thing. Our folks that transit in and around that area, I want to make sure that they’re able to (deal) with the things that they need to deal with, basically self-protection, counter-swarm, ASW-anti-submarine warfare.”

The White House is bending over backwards to convince the skeptical Saudis that the president is wiling to use military force to keep the vital waterway open, safeguard Gulf oil installations and exports and also prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. The armed forces chiefs’ disclosures were integral to the White House effort.

Our folks that transit in and around that area, I want to make sure that they’re able to (deal) with the things that they need to deal with, basically self-protection, counter-swarm, ASW-anti-submarine warfare.”
Air Force Commander General Norton Schwartz said that the US air force will obviously play a role in keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
A few days earlier, on Jan. 8, Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint US Chiefs of Staff, acknowledged that Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz for a period of time, but that if it did so the US would take action to reopen the Strait.
The US has therefore made clear that it is resolved to bring all its naval and air power to bear on ensuring that the Strait of Hormuz remains open.
Riyadh, for its part, has promised to make up any shortfalls in oil sales generated by Western sanctions against Iran as its contribution to Washington’s campaign to convince Asian buyers such as India, Japan, China and South Korea to cut down on their purchases from Iran.
This pledge is not entirely plain sailing. It raises the question of how quickly Saudi Arabia can up its oil production. The expert assessment is six to nine months at least. Then there is the counter-threat from Tehran: If the US continues to lean on European and Asian governments for an embargo on Iranian oil, “not a single drop” of Saudi or Gulf oil will pass through the Strait of Hormuz, say Iranian officials, thus pitting an Iranian blockade against a Western-led oil embargo.
Many Western experts treat Tehran’s threat as empty rhetoric arguing that closure of the vital strait would above all impact Iran’s own oil exports and slash its main source of revenue.
But debkafile’s Iranian sources report that Tehran is thinking in terms of a partial and selective closure of the Strait of Hormuz – rather than full-blown military action – in the certainty that the US and West will not attack Iranian oil tankers or even detain them. Partial action, the Iranians believe, will be enough to trigger a major spike in world oil prices, send insurance rates for oil tankers sky high and bring the world’s energy markets under intolerable pressure.
Two years ago, a Revolutionary Guards speedboat from the island of Abu Musa in the northern outlet of Hormuz damaged the Japanese oil tanker Star M carrying oil from Saudi Arabia by firing a single missile.
Washington opted to keep the findings of its inquiry under wraps so as to keep down tensions around the Gulf export route, avoid exacerbating relations with Tehran and keep a cap on oil prices. source – DEBKA

Emmanuel Macron Says That France Will Recognize A Palestinian State To Exist In June In Joint Partnership With Mohammed Bin Salman Of Saudi Arabia

France is making plans to recognize a Palestinian state and could do so as early as June, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with a French broadcaster on Wednesday.
Emmanuel Macron has been quiet lately, allowing President Trump to garner all the headlines, but he certainly has not been idle. Yesterday, Macron announced that, in partnership with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, France plans to recognize a state of Palestine to exist at an upcoming Two State Solution Summit in June to be held in Saudi Arabia. Emmanuel Macron and Mohammed bin Salman are the perfect end times Antichrist dream team. That’s the memo.
“And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.” Exodus 3:5 (KJB)
Do you know the first that in the Bible that God called holy? It was a piece of dirt that Moses was standing on, God called it holy ground. Do you know what the land of Israel is? It’s God holy land. Do you know what Jerusalem is? It’s God’s holy city. This is exactly why it is the most fought-over parcel of real estate in human history, Satan wants it and God is going to let him have it for exactly 7 years. Do you know who will be the poster boy for that land grab, the human face so to speak? Emmanuel Macron, as we have always told you. Having Mohammed bin Salman along for the ride is the cherry on top of the sundae. Keep in mind that this Palestinian Two State Solution Conference takes place in June where it will still be springtime. TO THE FLIGHT!!!
France could recognize a Palestinian state in June, says Macron
FROM POLITICO EU: Macron said he hoped that by recognizing Palestinian statehood at a conference in June that France is co-hosting with Saudi Arabia pushing for a two-state solution, attendees who do not formally recognize Israel would in turn do so.
“We must move toward recognition, and we will do so in the coming months,” said the French president. “I’m not doing it for unity, or to please this or that person. I’m doing it because at some point it will be fair,” he said.
Macron’s comments come after Israel resumed its bombardment of the Gaza Strip last month when a two-month-long truce came to an end and ceasefire talks broke down between Israel and the militant group Hamas. Israel has since halted the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian enclave.
Israel’s war in Gaza was triggered by Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, assault against southern Israel during which 1,200 people were killed and 250 were taken hostage. The Hamas-run Gazan Health Ministry says more than 50,000 people in Gaza have died in the ensuing conflict. That figure includes both civilian and combatant fatalities. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict resonates deeply in France, which is home to Europe’s largest Jewish and Muslim communities. Israel is also home to a large French-speaking community that has kept strong ties to France.
France has always been in favor of a two-state solution but has resisted calls to recognize a Palestinian state, often arguing that Paris would only do so if it served the peace process.
Macron’s comments came at the end of a three-day trip to Egypt, during which he visited a hospital treating Palestinians in the city of El Arish, near the border with Gaza.
“I want to believe in peace; today the conflict has intensified and it’s terrible … Since March 2, there’s nothing going in [to the Gaza Strip] — no water, no food, no medication, and none of the injured are coming out,” Macron said.
Macron’s decision is likely to antagonize Israel and draw a backlash from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who says that recognizing Palestinian statehood now is effectively rewarding terrorism.
“A ‘unilateral recognition’ of a fictional Palestinian state, by any country, in the reality that we all know, will be a prize for terror and a boost for Hamas. These kind of actions will not bring peace, security and stability in our region closer — but the opposite: they only push them further away,” Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on X. The French Jewish umbrella group Crif on Thursday slammed Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state, calling it “an unacceptable political victory” for Hamas while dozens of Israeli hostages are still being held in Gaza.

Trump Prepares To Unleash B-2 Bombers On Tehran Nuclear Sites As CRINK Alliance Of China, Russia, Iran And North Korea Begin Preparing Their Response

The CRINK alliance of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea seem to be assembling themselves together as Trump prepares B-2 bombers to launch preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear facilities
I want to draw your attention to two distinct things happening right now at the same time. The first thing is that President Trump is posturing that he is quite open to the possibility of taking out Iran’s nuclear facilities, so open in fact that he has ordered the largest massing of B-2 bombers in American history in Diego Garcia. The second thing is the oddly-named CRINK, or the China, Russia, Iran and North Korea alliance. War drums are beating quite loudly about this convergence of these two things.
“But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.” Daniel 10:13 (KJB)
Donald Trump was the one who moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, declaring Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel, signed off on the Abraham Accords, the one who put the world on lockdown and the one who gave the world the mRNA COVID vaccine. In his second term, Trump has announced the launch of Stargate, pledged to create a digital dollar and make crypto an official currency of the United States. So it stands to reason, logic and common sense that Donald Trump will also be the one who finally orders the strike on Iran and their Russian-built nuclear plants. Maybe even this week. The only question is, what response will CRINK have to say about that? That’s the memo.
Trump assembles B-2 bombers over Iran nuclear sites as CRINK nations prepares their response
FROM KEN KLIPPENSTEIN: In the largest single deployment of stealth bombers in U.S. history, the Pentagon has sent six B-2 “Spirit” aircraft to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The long-range bombers, which are uniquely suited to evade Iranian air defenses and can carry America’s most potent bunker busting weapons, flew in from Missouri last week in a little noticed operation.
The B-2s carry not just bombs, but a message for Iran: “do you see our sword?,” as one retired general told Newsmax this week. President Donald Trump hasn’t been shy in threatening Iran, saying that if Tehran doesn’t close the door on a nuclear capability they will experience “bombing the likes of which they haven’t seen.”
“Hell” will “rain down” on the country, Trump has also said. Just today, amidst the stock market meltdown
Trump again reiterated his threat, saying that “doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious” — which to the president is undertaking a massive strike.
“To my knowledge, this is the largest B-2 deployment to a forward location,” Hans Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists told me. Kristensen is the world’s leading tracker of nuclear comings and goings.
“All the bombers, they’re not in hangers, they’re underneath satellites where they can be photographed and seen; and the idea is, do you see our sword?” retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt, who served as Deputy U.S. Military Representative to NATO, said in an interview with Newsmax last week. Holt also said that the B-2 deployment “gives the president a military option that he can actually use these weapons against Iran if needed.”
This is a highly visible threat to Tehran, but at least one party isn’t supposed to notice: the American people. The Pentagon refuses to acknowledge that the deployment is even happening. Trump’s new Pentagon Press Secretary Sean Parnell has only vaguely alluded to “other air assets” being deployed it has announced that two aircraft carriers will stay in the region, the result of a delay in sending one home after its current deployment.
According to Google Trends, searches for terms like “B-2” and “war with Iran” have only modestly increased, indicating that public curiosity has been suppressed despite Donald Trump’s many threats to attack his enemies. READ MORE
As Trump prepares a B-2 bomber strike on Iran nuclear plants, the CRINK nations prepare their response
The term CRINK refers to an emerging alliance between China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. The alliance seeks to increase its global influence and reduce Western hegemony by controversially promoting authoritarian governments and illiberal policies while militarily and economically aiding Russian aggression against Ukraine.

French President Emmanuel Macron And King Abdullah II Of Jordan Join Forces Today In France To Demand ‘Immediate End’ To Israel Defending Itself In Gaza

King Abdullah II of Jordan arrived at the Élysée Palace in Paris on Wednesday, where he was received by French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss Israel.
Today over in France, Emmanuel Macron welcomed King Abdullah II of Jordan into the Palace, and top of their list of ‘action items’ to discuss was how to stop Israel from continuing to neutralize the existential threat posed by Palestinian terror group Hamas. Both Macron and King Abdullah demanded an ‘immediate end’ to the recently-renewed attacks by Israel on Hamas. Macron was seen in the main photo for this article grinning like Nicolae Carpathia, shaking hands in agreement with the Jordanian king.
“And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.” Daniel 11:3 (KJB)
With Donald Trump back in the White House, bombing Yemen and threatening Iran, the temperature in the Middle East continues to push toward the boiling point. We told you last week about the war games exercises between Russia, China and Iran, leading one to speculate that Russia and China would back Iran up in the case of attack. The Jerusalem Post today is reporting on the IDF entering into the Netzarim Corridor with tanks as Hamas calls for a global siege on US and Israel embassies. Yes sir, all the elements are, once again, firmly in place for end times escalation. That’s the memo.
King Abdullah II calls for immediate end to violations in Jerusalem in meeting with Macron
FROM ROYA NEWS: During joint statements with Macron, King Abdullah condemned the ongoing violations against Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, stating that such actions escalate tensions and must stop immediately.
He also warned that the forced displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza threatens to expand the conflict and further destabilize the region. Addressing Israeli Occupation’s renewed attacks on Gaza, the King described them as a highly dangerous step that worsens an already dire humanitarian crisis.
“We call for a permanent ceasefire and the release of all hostages held by Hamas in Gaza,” Macron added.
For his part, President Macron called Israeli Occupation’s resumed strikes in Gaza a “major setback” and stressed that a military solution is not viable. Speaking alongside King Abdullah at the Élysée Palace, Macron urged for an immediate halt to hostilities and a resumption of negotiations under US mediation. READ MORE
