Diego Garcia Has Just Become the World’s Most Dangerous Launchpad!
The ocean is quiet.
But under its calm, a storm is brewing — not of nature, but of machines engineered to unleash the fury of modern warfare.
With the recent deployment of B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to Diego Garcia, the United States hasn’t just moved aircraft—it has shifted the balance of power across an entire hemisphere.
Strategically nestled in the Indian Ocean, Diego Garcia is more than just a remote military base—it is America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier, a keystone in its Indo-Pacific and Middle East strategy, and now, the closest dagger pointed toward Iran and Yemen.
The B-2s, ghosts of the sky, are capable of slipping past the most advanced air defenses and delivering devastation with surgical precision. Their presence signals one thing: the United States isn’t bluffing.
A NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) has been issued. Air corridors are being cleared. Diplomatic backchannels are heating up. But the message from Washington is loud and clear: the US is ready to act and act hard if the red lines in the Middle East are crossed.
The build up is impressive possibly wielding nuclear weapons and carrying the Air Force’s largest payload of guided and unguided conventional weapons.
In addition to the B-2’s:
– 3 KC135 refueling aircraft that took off from Guam Air Force Base also landed in Diego Garcia.
– Four B52 bombers completed a quick takeoff exercise in the last 48 hours.
– And all this power joins hundreds of fighter jets on 3 aircraft carriers making their way into the flight range.
– Yemen and Iran are on notice!
Trump sends letter to Iran on nuclear program: ‘make a deal’ or face US ‘militarily’.
Trump says ‘you can’t let them have a nuclear weapon’ in exclusive interview with Maria Bartiromo.
President Trump on Friday revealed that he has sent a letter to Iran warning that it can either “make a deal” with Washington, D.C., on its nuclear program or face the U.S. “militarily.”
“I said, I hope you’re going to negotiate, because it’s going to be a lot better for Iran,” Trump told FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo on “Mornings with Maria,” in reference to a letter he sent to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“There are two ways Iran can be handled: militarily, or you make a deal,” he said. “I would prefer to make a deal, because I’m not looking to hurt Iran.”
Trump did not go into detail about what a nuclear deal with Iran would look like or how it would differ from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was agreed to by the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, including China, France, Russia, the U.K. and the U.S. under the Obama administration, along with Germany and the European Union.
But Trump pulled the U.S. out of the JCPOA in 2018, effectively collapsing the agreement, and Tehran has since continuously violated the terms under the previous agreement. He again implemented a maximum pressure campaign against Tehran and just last month he signed an executive order on “Restoring Maximum Pressure on Iran.”
“We have to do something, because you can’t let them have a nuclear weapon,” Trump told Bartiromo.
The U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, has repeatedly warned in recent months that Iran is pushing forward in its development of near-nuclear-grade uranium and now possesses enough uranium, if further enriched, to develop five nuclear weapons.
The Washington, D.C.-based Iranian watchdog, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, has also warned that it is not just the chemical components of the weapon that Tehran has been developing, but the technical ability to launch a nuclear warhead.
The Iranian regime has not yet commented on the correspondence that Trump apparently sent out on Thursday.
“I’m not sure that everybody agrees with me, but we can make a deal that would be just as good as if you won militarily,” Trump argued, noting that time is running out to make a deal.
“I hope that Iran [is]…going to negotiate, because if we have to go in militarily, it’s going to be a terrible thing for them,” Trump warned.
Russia has reportedly offered to serve as a mediator in the U.S. talks with Iran, though Trump did not comment on whether that would happen.
by Tim Buck | Mar 17, 2025 | Daniel's Prophecies, Israel, Rapture
At that time (Tribulation) Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone found written in the book.
Daniel 12:1
LAST CHAPTER
The end of the story in God’s Word is very good!
It’s good because God is good to His people and fulfills His promises!
We’ve arrived at Daniel Chapter 12 in our 3-year quest of studying the prophesies of Daniel. Chapter 12 is the last chapter of Daniel and although short with 13 verses, it gives numerous insights not found elsewhere in the Bible. Amazing insights loaded with God’s hidden gems!
The title of our 3-year study in Daniel has been “Daniel Unsealed” which comes from,
Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end.
Daniel 12:9
Most scholars believe the best interpretation of this verse is that God will reveal a fuller understanding of Daniel’s prophesies as we get closer to the Second Coming.
If you thought you understood the book of Daniel from how you first heard it taught (like I did) in the 1960’s or 80’s or even 2000, you might want to prayerfully restudy it again… and again.
There’s been quite a reformation of understanding Daniel’s prophesies in the last two decades as we get closer to the Rapture of the Church and the start of the 7-year Tribulation, just as the prophecy says.
For instance, we now understand that every chapter in Daniel, in addition to the meaning of its immediate context also includes a message about Israel during the Tribulation period. For example, just as the Lord protected the three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace (chapter 3), the Lord will protect Israel through the fiery trial of the Tribulation,
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Isaiah 43:2
The need for the fuller understanding of Daniel comes since Israel is about to enter the danger zone of the Tribulation period where clarity becomes vital to her survival. Getting the meaning of each of Daniel’s prophesies correct will be lifesaving to 10’s of thousands of Jews and Gentiles who become believers in Jesus after the Rapture.
Daniel 12 introduces us to the second half of the Tribulation which corresponds to Matthew 24:15-26 and Revelation 12.
To compliment our study of Daniel 12:1-7, our “GREAT CHAPTER OF BIBLE PROPHECY” for this class is Revelation 12. Both Daniel 12 and Revelation 12 deal with the alarming events surrounding Israel during the last three and one half years of the Tribulation, also described as, “times, time and half a time” by Jesus in Daniel 12:7.
Can it really be true—the United States not in Bible prophecy after all that Trump is doing for Israel?
Absolutely!
This is another indication of how close we are getting to the Rapture!
How dramatic would the fallout be for America if the Rapture took 50+ million believers away in the twinkling of an eye? What would that do to our country and its fragile economy?
And how dramatic will the Rapture fallout be for Israel as she enters the final 7 years alone!
Plan to join us as we study the amazing chapters of Daniel 12 and Revelation 12.
Read Daniel 12 and Revelation 12 to prepare for the class on April 29.

Stunning Level of USAID Corruption Revealed
In a recent Congressional hearing, the former chief operating officer of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) testified that the American agency had helped fund the Hamas terrorist organization with no oversight regarding how the money was spent.
At a mid-February House Oversight Committee’s Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, Max Primorac said that “USAID’s humanitarian aid system is broken. In Gaza, American aid financed Hamas’s campaign to exterminate Israel.”
“Similarly in Afghanistan, Yemen, and Syria,” he continued, “where we lack physical presence to ensure that our aid is not being diverted to terrorists.”
Gregg Roman, executive director of conservative Middle East Forum (MEF) think tank, detailed several instances of funds reaching terror groups.
“We have assisted Al-Shabab in Somalia, the Hamzi network in Sudan, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah…dozens of terrorist organizations have received indirect assistance from U.S. foreign aid,” he said.
In Gaza, he noted, “$2.1 billion in American tax payers’ money” has gone to the Hamas-ruled Strip “since October 7 [2023], when Hamas invaded southern Israel.”
“USAID money was going in terms of an emergency use authorization” to parties with whom the agency “had a formal relationship,” he said, but several government agencies that should have checked the recipients before the money transfers were made did not do so.
These included being vetted against the Special Designated Terrorists list of the State Department, he said.
“Waivers were granted,” he said, “because they said there was an emergency…thereby jettisoning the usual typical screening procedures. As a result, 90% of the aid that was going from the United States by way of its agents in Gaza ended up in Hamas-controlled areas, and this is ridiculous.”
“Essentially what the U.S. assistance to Gaza did was underwrite the ability of Hamas to survive until the ceasefire that just passed a few weeks ago,” he concluded.
Primorac noted that during his tenure in the first Trump administration, “we had a regulation in place that anyone who touches money in countries where there are terrorists — those names have to go through terrorist databases. That was overturned by Biden.”

The plan is to conquer Gaza Strip with over 50,000 soldiers, relocate civilian population to humanitarian zones, and wage a “ruthless ground campaign” in terrorist-heavy areas that will receive no humanitarian aid.
Jerusalem is planning to resume the war in Gaza in four to six weeks in a decisive campaign to wipe out Hamas, The Washington Free Beacon reported on Friday.
The plan is to conquer the entire Gaza Strip in one fell swoop with more than 50,000 soldiers, relocating the civilian population to humanitarian zones, and waging a “ruthless ground campaign” in terrorist-heavy areas that will receive no humanitarian aid, the report suggests.
The campaign is to commence with heavy aerial bombardments, followed by a reduction of the humanitarian aid entering the Strip. Israel Defense Forces divisions would simultaneously enter the Strip in the north, center and south, carving it into three parts.
Citing several current and former Israeli officials with knowledge of the matter, the news outlet reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed incoming IDF Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. (res.) Eyal Zamir to develop the plan, which is projected for completion when he steps into office on Thursday.
The general estimates that the war will end in six months or less, per the report.
Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi, founder of the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF), is quoted as saying that the war this time “is going to be decisive. Israel will use every tool it has to conquer Gaza and eradicate Hamas.”
Col. Hezi Nehama, who during the war publicly endorsed the Generals’ Plan, calling for the blockade of northern Gaza, said, according to the report, “We’re going to see four to five divisions simultaneously attack in the north, in the center and in the south, to occupy every area and clear out the enemy. It will look different than what we saw in the war until now.”
Professor Kobi Michael, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) at Tel Aviv University, said that outside the humanitarian zones, no external aid will enter Gaza. “This will prevent Hamas from continuing to steal all the humanitarian aid and will increase pressure on the group through the local population,” he said.
The war could be paused if the Hamas leadership agrees to free hostages, or if it agrees to disarm and go into exile, the report adds.
Fifty-nine abductees remain captive in Gaza, at least 35 of them are believed to have died.
With Hamas also reportedly preparing for the resumption of the war, the IDF has raised its alert level around Gaza.
Nehama said that Hezbollah’s weakened position in Lebanon permits Israel to shift many of its forces southward to deal with Hamas.
“We always had divisions in the north, and now we don’t need divisions in the north because Hezbollah is not a threat. So we can take those divisions and put them all in Gaza at the same time” he said.
According to Nehama, Zamir rejected the latest plan formulated by outgoing IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi as too timid.
“The next chief of staff didn’t like what he heard,” Nehama relayed. “He told the prime minister and the defense minister that he would present them with another plan, much more aggressive and decisive with many more troops involved.”
With the Trump administration apparently giving Jerusalem a blank check in its dealings with Hamas, the combat in Gaza, if resumed, is expected to be waged with less restraint on the part of Israel.

A press briefing in the Oval Office with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy turned into an all-out brawl of words, with President Donald Trump warning the European leader that he is “gambling with World War III.”
The escalation began after Zelenskyy repeatedly interrupted the President, delivered back-handed remarks, and backed out of agreeing to a ceasefire in front of reporters.
Vice President JD Vance admonished the Ukrainian President for showing clear disrespect to the United States and its leadership.
“Do you think that it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?” Vance cautioned after being questioned by Zelenskyy in the public briefing.
Zelenskyy fired back with a warning to the United States, insisting that while America has “a nice ocean” separating them from the war with Russia as opposed to Europe, “you will feel it in the future.”
“Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel,” Trump responded strongly. “We’re trying to solve a problem… Remember this: you’re in no position to dictate what we’re going to feel… You’re right now, not in a very good position. You don’t have the cards right now with us.”
“I’m not playing cards right now,” Zelenskyy rebuked, later scolding the American leaders for “speaking very loudly.”
“You are playing cards,” Trump asserted. “You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III, and what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country…”
“Your country is in big trouble,” he warned overtop of the continued interruptions by Zelenskyy. “Wait a minute. No, no, you‘ve done a lot of talking. Your country is in big trouble. You‘re not winning. You‘re not winning this. You have a damn good chance of coming out, okay, Because of us.”
Zelenskyy then claimed that Ukraine has “been alone” since the “beginning of the war,” a remark quickly retorted by President Trump, who referenced the 350 billion dollars given to Ukraine under the previous administration.
“If you didn‘t have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks,” Trump stated, drawing immediate ire from Zelenskyy, who likened the statement to Russian propaganda.
Looking toward reporters, Trump emphasized, “I think it’s important for the American people to see what’s going on. That’s why I kept this going so long.”
Turning back toward Zelenskyy, the President reiterated, “You have to be thankful. You don‘t have the cards. Your people are dying. You‘re running low on soldiers. Then you tell us: ‘I don‘t want a ceasefire. I don‘t want a ceasefire.’ Look, if you could get a ceasefire right now, I tell you, you take it so the bullets stop flying and your men stop getting killed.”
“The problem is, I’ve empowered you to be a tough guy,” Trump stated, “and I don’t think you’d be a tough guy without the United States.”
“Your people are very brave,” he continued, “but you’re either going to make a deal or we’re out—and if we’re out, you’ll fight it out. I don’t think it’s going to be pretty… You don’t have the cards, but once we sign that deal, you’re in a much better position. But you’re not acting at all thankful, and that’s not a nice thing, I’ll be honest. That’s not a nice thing… All right. I think we‘ve seen enough.”
The reason for Zelenskyy’s visit to Washington was to work through the stages of a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, which has now crossed into its fourth year of fighting. In a statement issued following the heated press briefing, President Trump warned that Ukraine “is not ready for peace.”
“We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today,” the statement began. “Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE.”
“He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office,” Trump underscored. “He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been accused of corruption by many, including President Trump, profiting heavily from the war, and using it to avoid elections. Last week, the American President voiced concern over the conduct of Zelenskyy, suggesting that the Ukrainian leader is incentivized to continue the war perpetually.
“Zelenskyy admits that half of the money [$350B] we sent him is ‘MISSING,’” Trump wrote. “He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden ‘like a fiddle.’ A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left.”
“Biden never tried to negotiate an end to the war, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the ‘gravy train’ going,” he stated.
“I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues…..”
