June 19, 2026 – Notes Shabbat Call
06-19-26 Notes from the “International SHABBAT Celebration.”
24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
“That was the week that was!” Some of us are old enough to remember the television show by that title which recounted highlights of what had taken place in the news during the previous week. This was one of those weeks. As we begin our Shabbat call tonight, once again we bless our President and those aligned with him for the betterment of this nation and the world, and we ask the Prince of Peace to show us the truth about all that is perplexing, concerning or otherwise unclear to us, so that we might be relieved of the burden and hand it over to the Lord, for His determination in each and every matter! We bow humbly before Him and say: “Thy will be done…on earth…as it is in heaven!”
Let’s prepare our hearts for intercession by receiving the full armor of God! Maureen led us in prayer.
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.“
Ephesians 6:10-18
We prayed corporately, asking that we would wear this armor with the grace and dignity it truly deserves!

Prayer requests:
Cathy (NC) My 94-year-old mother is now receiving Hospice care. I have notified my co-facilitators that I may not be available for the calls during this transition. Please ask the 24/7 family to cover us during this holy time.
Anita (GA), I’m reaching out to my LanieKate prayer team. She is languishing in the ICU… It’s been two weeks. God really gave all of us a sweet sign of improvement yesterday when she became very alert and active… however, Jess just let us know that the left lower lung seems to be the problem. If things don’t improve over the weekend, they plan to do a bronchoscopy under anesthesia on Monday. Jess and Mel do not wish this for her!
I am headed to a family reunion all weekend and would like my sisters in Christ to pray with me. I need to pay attention to our other children and grandchildren, but LK, Jesse, and Mel are always on my mind. Love to all.
We prayed corporately into these two petitions.
~~~
Praise reports: Shelly (MI) prayed for robust strength in LKs lungs and not need surgery
Cindy (SC) breathe Your breathe into her and make her vibrant and healthy.
Ps Ioan prayed for the family, the little one, and for her grandparents…and asked for a MIRACLE for LK.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on the Biblical land of Israel:
“Without Israel, there would not be an America.
We owe our very existence to what happened in this land.”
Ps Ioan said boast not against the branches…they were broken off so you could be grafted in! Romans 11
He shared about two passionate Jewish men who disagreed, and the rabbi said that each was right! Then one who listened on the side said: Rabbi, it is not possible for both to be right! And the rabbi answered: You are right too!
We prayed corporately and blessed Israel and the USA, and President Trump and PM Netanyahu…asking that the Lord secure their bonds of love and alliance, for Your GLORY!
Ps Ioan shared these verses:
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world,
what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them,
and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
Romans 11:13-36

Ps Ioan has just returned from being at the Fraud Fighters Summit in Las Vegas, NV. There, he met with several patriots, including David Clements and Tina Peters. He said that he was surprised to see so many seniors. And there was an overflow of 200 attendees, so the food service was stressed. He heard that the seniors made up the SHOULDER of Christ…as they bear the burden with Him.
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;
and the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end,
upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice
from that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 9: 6-7
Blessed to be able to meet with Tina Peters

President Trump, at 80 years of age, spent his entire birthday brokering a historic peace deal. At 3 AM, right after the UFC fight, he went “wheels up” and flew to France for the G7. He never stops working…

Response posted by Senator Lindsey Graham, R-SC:
“Completely agree with President Trump’s analysis that Iran’s capability to generate another October 7th
or continue to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet has been massively degraded.
To those who say Iran is stronger now than ever before, that is an insult to the American Military
and it is delusional thinking because the Iranian economy is in shambles.
Mr. President, continue to try to find a diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear ambitions
and other issues that have plagued the world since 1979.
The date diplomacy is off the table will present America and our allies with some very stark choices.
In the meantime, as we pursue diplomacy,
make it crystal clear that Israel will not have to tolerate being attacked by Iranian proxies
who cause parts of Israel to be uninhabitable.
Pray for peace.”
Follow-up statement by President Trump
“Senator Lindsey Graham is working incredibly hard for the Great People of South Carolina,

Lindsey has been a wonderful friend, and has always been there when I needed him.

Maureen spoke of President Trump’s loyalty to those who are loyal to him, and then Ps Ioan said that at the Fraud Fighters Summit, he learned that there are those real patriots who need to speak to President Trump (like David Clements) but are not given access. (Remove those who would block their access and bring the patriots in!!) Also, those who have cheated and defrauded the people during the elections need to be tried and found guilty and pay the price of being punished.
Debbie (TX), we agree that at least one person be tried and convicted of their treason in the past elections. Let there be reparations for those who suffered unjustly because of the harm done to them by the traitors.
Desiree (NY) remove those false counselors who are among the clergy around him…and bring those who will speak TRUTH to him!
Shelly (MI) There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. Bring the truth out and into the light. She prayed for our loved ones who are blinded to truth by the lies of the media and TDS. Let Your TRUTH prevail so they are set free.
Bernadette (NY) bring these people to justice, and give them an opportunity to repent. Open those impacted by TDS to the truth…and let them be healed.
Brad (VA), they just elected a socialist as Mayor of DC. So much TDS there…we need a miracle! Transform hearts and set the people free!
Desiree (NY) asked what we can do about these machines?
Ps Ioan said that was addressed in the fraud summit. The machines are part of the corrupt system, and it is so interwoven and manipulated that it seems that an honest person can not win an election. We need to have a one-day election, with numbered paper ballots, and blue pens, with chain of custody protection, hand counting on the night of the election, with watchers, + report results ASAP!
It is so important to see and support what President Trump is doing!!!!
Shelly (MI) asked that we pray for the SAVE AMERICA ACT to be passed ASAP!
~~~
LIES and the Height of ARROGANCE…even in the face of defeat!
Iran’s Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that they would have a strong response
to any violations of the memorandum of understanding (MOU).
“In the event of bad faith, breach of contract, and excessive demands by the opposing side,
\we have no hesitation in delivering a crushing response to the enemy,”
saying the US was “once slapped during the war,
and if they wish to tread that path again, they will receive an even harder slap.”

“The war has diminished Iran!
It doesn’t, any longer, have an Air Force, a Navy, anti-aircraft equipment, radar,

RE: The FILIBUSTER
“Anybody who doesn’t want to Terminate the Filibuster is a FOOL, a very stupid one, at that!
The Dumocrats will end it within minutes of taking office, and then rapidly proceed to destroy our Country,
adding 2 Radical Left States, 4 Dumocrat Senators, many Congressmen/women,
their dream of 21 Supreme Court Justices (Not just 13, an unlucky number!),
an impossible to beat number of Electoral College Votes (and that’s the Ballgame!),
“Popular” Vote Landslides, and so much else.
The Republican Party will never win another Election.
I will, sadly, be the last Republican President.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and the Republican Senate, must not let this “carnage” happen.
They will go down on the wrong side of History, as will all Republicans who just stood by and watched.
The Republican Party isn’t at stake, our Country is.
TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, AND IMMEDIATELY APPROVE THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.
GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.”

“Very popular agreement, except for the Fake News and their partner, the Dumocrats!”
~~~
President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance have secured a historic breakthrough by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran. Forged through decisive American strength, this agreement ensures Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon, reopens the Strait of Hormuz to free navigation, and puts America First — rejecting the failed policies of appeasement, cash payoffs, and endless wars that have weakened the United States for decades. Here’s what they’re saying:
Sen. John Barrasso: “@POTUS Trump forced Iran to the table from a position of American strength. He has been clear:
❌Iran will not get a nuclear weapon
❌They will not have a path to a weapon
❌They are not going to be able to enrich uranium
America is putting an end to the terrorism.”
Sen. Jim Banks: “Iran has been decimated. They know what will happen if they don’t hold-up their end of the deal and there will be hell to pay. Under @POTUS, we operate with Maximum Pressure and Peace Through Strength.”
Sen. Marsha Blackburn: “President @realDonaldTrump has shown time and time again on the world stage that he is determined to find peace and that his first priority will always be to put America first.”
Sen. Katie Britt: “There is no one better at making a deal than @POTUS. I appreciate this Administration’s efforts to hold the Iranian regime accountable and ensure they can never obtain a nuclear weapon.”
Sen. Deb Fischer: “Iran is weak right now, and @POTUS is negotiating from a position of strength. I support the administration’s efforts to keep Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon—which is crucial to keeping America and the world safe.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham: “[I]t is my opinion that signing the MOU will be beneficial to the United States, in as much as the Strait of Hormuz will begin to open, and the hostilities with Iran will stop. Whether or not the United States can reach an acceptable, verifiable deal with Iran regarding its nuclear program and other issues is yet to be determined, but I see little downside to trying. The economic stability that comes from opening up the Strait and the cessation of hostilities could create a pathway to peace well beyond the Iranian conflict. The expansion of the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel is President Trump’s and my ultimate goal. I think that is best achieved by creating economic stability for the United States, the region and the world, as well as the cessation of hostilities. The signing of the MOU is an essential step to make that happen and thus it is worthwhile.”
Sen. Bill Hagerty: “Where President Obama paid Iran for their nuclear program, @POTUS is making them pay to end it. After we decimated their military and nuclear capabilities, the world’s most infamous state sponsor of terrorism is finally coming to the table—this time, on President Trump’s terms.”
Sen. Ron Johnson: “The ayatollahs declared war on the West 47 years ago. They are fanatics who have been engaging in and preparing for war all that time. President Trump recognizes the reality that the Iranian people were not able to overthrow the regime and that Americans would not support a ground war to defeat it. So @POTUS made a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz to limit economic damage and carefully monitor the regime’s behavior moving forward.”
Sen. John Kennedy: “Let’s give peace a chance. I think that’s all the President is saying. I read the document last night, and I’ve heard all of the speculation, and what about this, and what about that, and what if this happens, one, if that doesn’t happen, we’ll know in 60 days. Let’s give us 60 days to give peace a chance, and that’s all he’s saying.”
Sen. James Lankford: “For 47 years, Iran has attacked the United States, our allies, and every American they could find in the region. The people of Iran live under the oppression of the regime, and the United States has spent billions of dollars each year defending ourselves from the threat. For over four decades, every president has attempted to resolve the multitude of issues with Iran, but President Trump is the first to use both diplomacy and force to bring the terrorist regime to the table. Let’s pray for peace and an end to the nuclear threat from the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism.”
Sen. Roger Marshall: “Americans deserve affordable gas and groceries, and this agreement accomplishes just that. Beyond that, and more importantly, Americans are safer today than they were before. This regime has never signed a document that said that they would not have any nuclear weapons in the past — that was our goal out of all this. This regime is responsible for the deaths of over 1,000 Americans, they cause the rest of the world to live in fear, so in so many ways, the world is safer, Americans are safer. The Strait is open again, and gas prices are plummeting — so we think it is a great day here in America.”
Sen. Bernie Moreno: “President Trump is the only one who had the guts to take decisive action and eliminate a threat we’ve faced for 47 years. Now he’s secured a historic deal that allows for peace and prosperity. Peace through strength”
Sen. Rand Paul: “The same voices now attacking Trump’s Iran deal are the architects of every failed intervention of my lifetime. This war must end. I stand with President Trump on peace.”
Sen. Eric Schmitt: “President Trump was very clear from the get-go what the mission here was, which was to ensure that Iran would never have a nuclear weapon. They have no ability to do that — and they’re signing on the dotted line now for the first time that they’re not going to do that… We need to make sure, obviously, we’re verifying all of this — but the President has pulled off something here that most experts six months ago wouldn’t have thought was possible, and I think it’s good for the American people.”
Sen. Tim Scott: “Once again, @POTUS proves he is the Dealmaker in Chief. When America leads with strength, we get results. A major victory for American security and global stability!”
Sen. Tommy Tuberville: “As per usual, the Legacy Media are trying to undermine the administration. If there’s one thing @POTUS has shown time and time again, it’s to NEVER bet against Donald J. Trump. President Trump made history in 2020 with the Abraham Accords, and I have no doubt that he will once again secure PEACE for America and our allies.”
Rep. Robert Aderholt: “I’m thankful to hear that the United States and Iran have reached an agreement. The deal will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and require Iran to give up its nuclear program. Unlike the agreement reached under the Obama administration, this deal will not allow Iran to continue enriching uranium and build up the components necessary to build a nuclear weapon. I applaud President Trump for his leadership and the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who have held the line.”
Rep. Mark Alford: “Let me be clear—this started 47 years ago with the Iranian hostage crisis, the fall of that regime, and the rise of leaders in Iran who have been hostile to the United States and Western civilization ever since. And thank God we finally have a president who is standing up to them—with strength, with resolve, & putting Americans first.”
Rep. Buddy Carter: “FORTY-SEVEN years of concessions to the Iranian Terrorist Regime and SEVEN U.S. presidents later… Only ONE President, @realDonaldTrump, is ensuring Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon. America and the world are safer because of it – PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!”
Rep. Monica De La Cruz: “Thank you, President Trump, for your tireless work to deliver this historic deal and secure peace worldwide”
Rep. Chuck Edwards: “This agreement has the potential to bring greater stability to the Middle East, a win for America, our allies, and the world.”
Rep. Lance Gooden: “President Trump knows that peace with Iran comes through strength, not pallets of cash. The Iranian regime will NEVER have a nuclear weapon or enriched uranium under a Trump deal. @POTUS’s pursuit of lasting peace in the Middle East means a safer world and a stronger economy at home!”
Rep. Abe Hamadeh: “@POTUS has made it crystal clear: he wants this Iran conflict over, & he’s been working tirelessly to de-escalate & bring the parties to the table. Never underestimate the man who mastered ‘The Art of the Deal.’ President Trump always puts America’s interests first.”
Rep. Andy Harris: “A remarkable day for America and the world. President Trump secured a historic agreement with Iran, bringing an end to the conflict and demonstrating once again that peace is achieved through strength.”
Rep. Diana Harshbarger: “Peace through Strength”
Rep. Wesley Hunt: “Take it from someone who actually fought in these wars. Getting the Gulf states aligned against Iran’s nuclear ambitions is a game changer. And that’s the key point: the world wants peace, but peace is only possible when rogue regimes understand there are consequences for their actions. In just a matter of months, President Trump brought Iran to a position it never imagined it would be in. Its military capabilities are shattered, its leverage evaporated, and its leaders were forced to confront reality. The result is an agreement designed to ensure Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon for the foreseeable future. American strength achieved the outcome. Thanks to President Trump’s resolve.”
Rep. John James: “The Iran deal is straightforward, common sense leadership from @POTUS. I flew Apache helicopters in Iraq knowing Iran was funding the networks shooting at us. I do not take this lightly. President Trump’s deal is simple: meet every condition or see nothing. No pallets of cash. No secret side deals. Nothing like Obama’s disastrous JCPOA. Choose peace and prosperity or stay in the darkness. Period. It is peace through strength and putting American interests first. By blocking out the noise from grifters and self-serving frauds, this deal will go down as bringing fundamental change to the Middle East. I stand with President Trump. Always have. Always will.”
Rep. Jim Jordan: “No nuclear weapon for Iran. No open borders. No unchecked taxpayer fraud. Why is this controversial for Democrats?”
Rep. David Kustoff: “While negotiations are still ongoing, I remain confident that @POTUS will fulfill his promise and ensure that Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon.”
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “The Iran peace deal is good for all parties involved. Please stop attacking one another. Details from WH will be out soon. 🕊️ It will be WAY better than the Obama ‘deal.’ No need to attack one another.”
Rep. Brian Mast: “@POTUS has earned the deference that he will nail Iran to the wall by leaving IRGC General Soleimani in pieces on a tarmac, conducting Operation Midnight Hammer, leveling Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, conducting Operation Epic Fury for 60 days, closing the entire Iranian coastline, destroying hundreds of billions of dollars of Iranian military infrastructure, leaving their Navy at the bottom of the sea, taking out their Air Force, erasing drone manufacturing, and eliminating their generals, nuclear scientists, and the Ayatollah. He hammered them for striking us repeatedly while every Congressional Democrat and some Republicans cried ‘run away and remove all forces from responding to Iran.’ Every Democrat and Republican who voted over and over again to remove hostilities from the region have earned the right to shut the hell up on this one.”
Rep. Lisa McClain: “President Trump made sure Iran has NO PATH to a nuclear weapon.”
Rep. Dan Meuser: “President Trump has done something no other President could: make Iran commit to never attempt to possess a nuclear weapon. He did it without sending piles of taxpayer dollars to Tehran, like his predecessors.”
Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks: “I am glad to see this conflict come to an end. My hope is that lasting peace is restored in the region, that energy prices continue to fall for American families, and that Iran is never again a nuclear threat to the United States or our allies.”
Rep. Cory Mills: “President Trump just secured a historic deal, and it’s nothing like the Obama JCPOA. No pallets of cash and no blank timelines- just real metrics and real accountability. This is a major win for the United States, and for peace”
Rep. Barry Moore: “His critics say he can’t do it, and President Trump proves them wrong every single time. God bless our great President!”
Rep. Riley Moore: “PEACE. PRESIDENT. No one else could have done this. No one else would have the courage. God bless Donald J. Trump!”
Rep. Jimmy Patronis: “The deal with Iran is a major victory for peace and security. @POTUS once again demonstrated that strong leadership and American strength can deliver results that make our nation and the world safer.”
Rep. Marlin Stutzman: “@POTUS made it clear at the G7 summit — IRAN WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Grateful for President Trump’s leadership in these negotiations, and glad to see that Iran has finally made the smart decision to establish peace.”
Rep. Tony Wied: “President Trump has made it clear that he does not want endless wars in the Middle East. I completely agree. Yet as soon as a peace deal emerges, the swamp attacks it. They either want to see America fail or want to see endless wars continue. I want to see this war come to an end and I am grateful to have a President who is pursing peace through strength to protect our country and the American people.”
Rep. Roger Williams: “@POTUS’s U.S.-Iran Peace Deal is a welcome step forward. This agreement creates a path toward greater stability in the region. Reopening the Strait of Hormuz will help restore global commerce and bring greater certainty to energy markets as negotiations continue. Our goal remains clear: Peace Through Strength”
Rep. Rudy Yakym: “Peace requires strength. Protecting Americans means making hard decisions, and striking Iran was one of them. President Trump had the courage to act where presidents of both parties only made promises. He has been unequivocal for decades: Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon. Today, he kept that promise. And Americans and Hoosiers will be safer because of President Trump’s resolve and the deal reached today.”
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich: “President Trump has achieved something many thought impossible: forcing the Iranian dictatorship away from the Obama-Biden path of appeasement without committing America to a massive ground war.”
Former Deputy National Security Advisor KT McFarland: “I know it’s not popular to say this, but Trump’s Iran deal is brilliant. No nukes, Strait reopened, US economy soars. Iran has path forward – if they behave. If not, boom, we resume military and econ punishment.”
Atlantic Council Vice President for Geostrategy and Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security Senior Director: “Iran has posed one of the greatest threats to US national security for decades, and US military action over the past year (Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury) has succeeded in degrading Iran’s nuclear program, conventional military, political leadership, and defense-industrial capacity. This is a significant achievement. The major downside cost has been Iran’s threats to the Strait of Hormuz and the US retaliatory blockade, which have choked off global energy flows, leading to higher energy prices and a global economic shock. The deal announced this weekend promises to alleviate this economic pressure. I suspect it will hold because both sides have a strong economic incentive to get energy flowing to global markets. Trump may succeed, therefore, in defanging one of the world’s most dangerous terrorist states in exchange for several months of higher energy prices. That is a good trade… Iran’s nuclear program no longer exists, and if Tehran tries to rebuild, the US can simply bomb again.”
Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell: “Facts: Obama didn’t get rid of the Iranian leadership, didn’t lay a finger on their military assets but trusted them with a deal worth billion$. Trump got rid of the Iranian leadership, devastated their military and nuclear program and then started over with a diplomatic deal that will secure America’s future. This is how it is done. We’ve never had a President mixing military action and diplomacy so seamlessly.”
Will Chamberlain: “The key difference between this deal and the JCPOA is that we just obliterated the bulk of Iranian military capabilities as well as the bulk of the Iranian defense industrial base. When Obama handed pallets of cash to the Iranians in the JCPOA, they were able to put that money to work immediately churning out munitions and funding their proxies… [T]he strategic position of America and its allies is stronger now than it was in February vis-a-vis Iran. If you don’t think so, think about how much of our senior leadership, ships, planes, personnel, and defense industrial base you would trade for some cash. Not much, IMO.”
Commentator Steve Deace: “This is the proper strategy. We don’t have the resolve for a regime change war, and never did. Absolutely no critical mass of the American people wants to get bogged down in another attempt at regime change in the Middle East. Notice no one critical of this pause and wanting us to go further has told you who would run the country instead, because no one knows… Besides, we have the capability to go back and mow the lawn there again and again when (not if) the Regime acts up. Trump has already shown he’s willing to spank them harder than any previous president the last two years now. So no, this isn’t like other Iran deals at all. They’ve already suffered heavy leadership casualties they never had to before. And we will inflict some more when (not if) they again prove they’re the demoniacs they’ve already proven to be. There’s not always a cut and dried solution in this world, especially when dealing with Islamic radicalism. But what is cut and dried is we are on an existential cliff here at home. To the point if a bullet doesn’t miss Trump’s brain by barely a centimeter two years ago, we don’t even want to contemplate how different things would be right now.”
Fox Business Network Anchor David Asman: “You have to put this in perspective. We’re so much better off now; a year ago when oil was about the same as it is now, the world was a lot less safe.”
Fox Business Network Contributor Phil Flynn: “This could really issue in a new era of lower prices. People don’t realize the threat that Iran posed to the global oil market for 47 years. It added to the cost of gasoline, it added to the cost of diesel, mainly because they were a threat. Insurance rates, you name it, terror threats, wars — that all added to the cost of oil. And if the market can believe — and I’m hopeful that will happen — that Iran will give up their nuclear weapons, that’s going to take away a huge threat from the region. If they quit giving their neighbors a hard time, we could see prices stay low for a very long period of time.”
Heritage Foundation National Security Senior Research Fellow Steve Yates: “[Iran has] definitely been degraded beyond where they were entering the JCPOA or the Iran deal of the Obama Administration… There’s a lot of context that’s different.”
Fox News Channel Host Jesse Watters: “Here’s the bottom line: [Iran] will never have a nuclear weapon, the Strait is opened, the Ayatollah is dead, their military is whipped, and we did it in three months with no ground troops. And Mohammad is not getting a penny until he performs. And none of these pennies are even ours. And as a bonus, the United States is now the world’s biggest energy exporter. And hopefully, fingers crossed, we re-wired the Middle East so they make love, not war, and we don’t have to babysit them.”
America First Policy Institute: “No administration has been positioned to end nearly five decades of terror as the Trump Administration. In just 107 days since the launch of Operation Epic Fury, American military forces have obliterated the Iranian navy, eliminated their air capabilities, and ensured that Iran can no longer arm their proxies’ capabilities. We commend the effort to finalize a 60-day Memorandum of Understanding with the Iranian regime, an important step toward ensuring that Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon and no longer threaten the American people. This breakthrough was made possible by the Administration’s unprecedented military and economic pressure, particularly through Operations Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury. We also recognize the important role of our regional partners in bringing about this diplomatic breakthrough.”
Patrick Bet-David: “I predicted the President would have this deal done by June 14th. This was never going to be a long war. Congratulations to the President and his team for getting this done by his birthday. Happy 80th Birthday to @realDonaldTrump”
G7 Leaders: “We recognize the breakthrough and the opportunity that currently exist in the Middle East. We welcome the announcement of a deal between the United States and Iran, secured under the strong leadership of President Trump, with the support of mediating countries, which provides an historic opportunity to prevent Iran from acquiring any nuclear weapon and tackling the threats related to its regional and ballistic activities. We support and are ready to contribute to its implementation.”
Joint Statement from Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and the United Kingdom: “We warmly welcome the announcement of the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran. We congratulate the United States, the Iranian government and all those involved, including Pakistan, Qatar and all other mediators, on this diplomatic breakthrough. This is a moment of opportunity to restore regional stability and stabilise the global economy.”
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer: “I warmly welcome today’s agreement reached between the United States and Iran. This is a hugely important step forward in ending the war, ensuring regional stability and re-opening the Strait of Hormuz. I congratulate President Trump and the mediators from Pakistan, Qatar and elsewhere who have contributed to this breakthrough. We have long urged de-escalation and this is the progress we had hoped to see.”
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: “In Évian, I congratulated President Trump on his agreement with Iran. We both agree that it should mean a definitive end to Iran’s nuclear programme. The Strait will reopen. Oil prices are falling. And that’s how diplomacy delivers.”
French President Emmanuel Macron: “President Trump signed tonight at Versailles the agreement between Iran and the United States. This agreement paves the way for lasting peace and allows the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. It is an important step in the right direction for our compatriots that will soon enable a decrease in energy prices.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “The agreement with Iran is an opportunity—for the stability of the region and for the global economy. The agreed-upon peace must now hold. We are united on this as @G7.”
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi: “On this occasion, both the United States and Iran have signed a memorandum, and the cessation of hostilities has been declared. As our country, we once again warmly welcome the fruition of the diplomatic efforts by the parties involved and the relevant countries that have played a mediating role. First and foremost, it is important that free and safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz be promptly resumed through the steady implementation of the memorandum by all parties. Furthermore, we continue to strongly hope that, through further negotiations between the United States and Iran in the future, a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear issue and other matters will be realized as soon as possible. At the G7 Evian Summit in which I participated, we also engaged in in-depth discussions on the situation in Iran; as our country, we will continue to closely coordinate with the international community, while making every diplomatic effort toward the realization of peace and stability across the entire Middle East region, thereby fulfilling our role.”
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif: “The Memorandum has been signed by honourable Presidents of both the countries and also endorsed by me as the mediator. The signing of this agreement at the highest level of the respective governments demonstrates the commitment of both sides to a diplomatic resolution of the conflict… I offer my heartfelt congratulations and sincere appreciation to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump whose steadfast commitment to diplomacy and preference for peaceful resolution have once again helped end a conflict that could have led to devastating consequences for the region and beyond. I also commend the dedication and tireless efforts of the United States negotiating team, including J.D. Vance, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, for their invaluable contributions to this achievement.”
Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs: “The State of Qatar welcomes the electronic signing by the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on addressing outstanding issues between them, including the cessation of military operations and ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Qatar considers this a renewed affirmation of the two sides’ commitment to resolving their differences through negotiation and peaceful means as well as to enhancing prospects for sustainable peace and economic growth at both the regional and international levels.”
Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs: “Switzerland welcomes the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran yesterday by both countries. The signing is an important step toward de-escalation in the region.”
Spokesman for UN Secretary-General António Guterres: “The Secretary-General welcomes the announcement that the United States and Iran have agreed on a peace deal that provides for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as a framework for further negotiations. This represents a critical step towards the peaceful settlement of the conflict.”
Pope Leo XIV: “I welcome with satisfaction the reaching of an agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, which will be signed on Friday, as an encouraging result of patient work in dialogue and negotiation. I express my gratitude to the countries that have worked to facilitate a meeting between the parties and to make this agreement possible. I hope that the agreement may help strengthen mutual trust, security, and stability in the Middle East, promoting paths of dialogue and cooperation among peoples.”

RE: Tech advances
“The Technology the World relies on was invented in America.
We all remember “Intel Inside.”
Stupid Presidents took our Economy for granted, and let Taiwan and others steal our Semiconductor Factories. They forgot to protect our Industries with TARIFFS.
When I won my Second Term (Third, actually!),
it was clear America needed its Semiconductor Industry to come back to the U.S.A.
We design everything, but we need to BUILD it here, NOW!
So I decided to help Intel because we need to design and build our Chips right here in America.
First, we helped bring in Nvidia, and they agreed to build their first level Chips with Intel.
Next, Elon agreed to build his TerraFab, the largest Chip Factory in the World,
designed together with Intel’s Technology team.
And, finally, Apple has agreed to work with Intel to design and build its Chips in America.
We decided to help Intel in exchange for 10% of their shares. Is that too much or, too little?
They were worth around 100 Billion Dollars when we made our offer.
Now they are worth over 600 BILLION DOLLARS!
Nine months, and they’ve increased in value over HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS.
America’s stake is now over 60 Billion Dollars.
When was the last time a President made America money??
Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP

At 9 PM, we rejoiced corporately over the survival of Tina Peters and her release from prison, and prayed for her from this point on…that her story the “TRUTH” will be told so people see what really took place.
Then we joined in corporately singing our National Anthem!

Ps Ioan shared some of the dynamics of the gathering Las Vegas. He spoke about their wonderful meals and some of the people they encountered there. DIVINE APPOINTMENTS! There was a priest he confronted for addressing his son David in a “bossy” way…and when he learned the truth about what had really happened, he repented, and they bonded! A young woman (Julie) spoke passionately from her pain over the situation of this nation. She was with a friend, and when they met another day, he was prompted to share with her the story of his wife Miruna’s passing, after which he experienced the breaking of the soul ties between them, which was excruciatingly painful!
Then the Lord said: The pain I have for every soul who dies unsaved and goes to hell is exceedingly greater than your pain for losing her; you still have hope to see her again, but for those lost, there is no hope.
And Thursday morning, the Lord revealed that His pain for one lost soul is the suffering on the Cross.
Hebrews 6:1-6
1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2
“Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection,
not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works
and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead,
and of eternal judgment. And this we will do if God permits.
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift,
and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God
and the powers of the age to come,
if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance,
since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.”
Paul wanted to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings.
“But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.
Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord,
for Whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish,
that I may gain Christ and be found in Him,
not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ,
the righteousness which is from God by faith;
that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings,
being conformed to His death,
if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.’
Philippians 3: 7-11
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely,
and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith,
Who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2
So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them;
if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
John 20: 21-23
“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes,
which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life—
the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness,
and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us—
that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us;
and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.”
1 John 1:1-4

We prayed corporately:
“Henini, Adonai! Here I am, Lord! Send me!”
We shared in communion together
We sang: Here am I
Ask of Me, and I will give the nations, as an inheritance for you, as an inheritance for you,
My children. ask of Me, and I will give the nations, as an inheritance for you.
Here am I, send me to the nations, as an ambassador for You. as an ambassador for You,
My Father, here am I, send me to the nations, as an ambassador for You.
