Iran: Operation Basharat Al-Fath – Blessing of Victory Declared
As of June 24, 2025, Iran has launched a declared offensive under the name Operation Basharat Al-Fath (بشارت الفتح), translated as Blessing of Victory.
- Six missiles were launched toward Qatar, where the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base is located.
- One missile was launched toward Iraq.
The situation is no longer potential — this is an open war in the Gulf region.
Prayer Response: Father, we come before You in the name of Yeshua, declaring Your dominion over the skies, the land, and every military escalation. We ask You to intercept every missile, to confuse every command center planning retaliation, and to extinguish this fire before it spreads further. Cover Qatar and Iraq with Your shield. Protect all civilians and military personnel from harm. Expose and dismantle every hidden plot behind Operation Basharat Al-Fath. Let it not succeed. Let it not multiply. Let it be overturned.
Let Your justice stand. Let Your mercy prevail. And let the name of Jesus — not vengeance, not violence — be the banner lifted high above this war.
According to Israeli sources, officials in Israel were informed early on June 24 of the expected Iranian attack on American targets in Qatar. Sources who were briefed on the details indicated that the attack was coordinated with countries in the region.
This likely means the United States had prior intelligence and evacuated personnel from affected bases in advance — a sign of both preparedness and coordination.

Updated Intelligence Brief – June 24, 2025

A Prayer Point Sent by Our Dear Friend Anne Graham Lotz
This prayer was sent to us by our dear friend, Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of Billy Graham, a woman of deep biblical authority and enduring love for Israel.
Anne specifically asked for this to be included:
“That, like Isaiah in Isaiah 61:1, Israel would look up and see the Lord seated on the throne, repent of her sin, come to the altar for cleansing, and open her eyes to Yeshua, the Christ.”
This speaks directly to the spiritual destiny of Israel in this hour. Pray the blindness of Israel shall fall and Isaiah 61:1 will come to pass.
Everything happening now — the war, the threats, the alignments — is ultimately about Jesus.
He will be enthroned. He will shine. He will be praised as Lord and Savior above all.
This is not about politics alone. This is about a King being revealed in the middle of nations shaking.
Let Israel see Him. Let the Church lift Him. Let the nations reckon with Him.
Yeshua reigns — and He will not be ignored.
The Theatrical Strike and the Power of Prayer
This was a theatrical show.
All parties knew the plot and the outcome in advance.
It was permitted — even coordinated — to allow Iran a way to save face.
The missiles came, but the message was muted.
What was supposed to be a spectacle became a whisper. All the big Iran caused is a small fire.
Markets have responded: oil prices are plunging — not because war ended, but because the world watched a pathetic, performative strike.
And we say it plainly: the prayers of the saints made the difference.
To every intercessor who stood on the wall — thank you. Your obedience is being recorded in heaven and felt on the earth.
"For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds."— 2 Corinthians 10:4
