U.S. Yield Surge Warning, Iran Rejects Talks & China Pressures Taiwan | Worldview Report #1030

Tonight, on the World View Report, Iran has categorically rejected President Trump's

claims of productive talks and warned it will not be fooled again, even as it continues

launching missiles and drones at Israeli and Gulf targets.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, they are seriously considering joining or supporting

the U.S.

And now we have word from the ambassador to NATO that some of the NATO nations are stepping

up to secure the Strait of Pramos.

Israel's military campaign against Iran is being viewed as a rare opportunity to weaken

Tehran and its proxies.

Iran did launch a ballistic missile that appeared to target a major Israeli power plant,

but missed, striking an open area nearby as part of a larger barrage on Israeli cities.

Israeli ground troops, they killed several Hezbollah gunmen and a fierce close quarters

battle in southern Lebanon that was during an operation to dismantle terror infrastructure.

In Beijing, they see the U.S. focus on the Iran War, perhaps as a strategic opportunity

to increase pressure on Taiwan, accelerating military drills and gray zone tactics, while

Washington is stretched thin and Russian forces have launched a major new offensive in eastern

Ukraine, intensifying strikes on civilian areas and infrastructure with heavy artillery

and drones.

The California has now spent more than $1 million per permanent housing unit in its

homelessness efforts, yet the state's homelessness numbers continue to rise, all this and more,

as the World View Report begins right now.

This is World View Report with host Brennan House, whether it is news from the nation's

capital or your state capital, from the classroom to the boardroom, from national security

to national and local news that impacts you and your family, World View Report is your

trusted source for vital and uncensored news, and now here is Brennan House.

Good evening and welcome to the World View Report, I'm Brennan House, an article from Zero

Hedge is entitled, Iran warns it won't be fooled again in negotiations as attacks continue,

and U.S. troops are in root.

It reports that Iran has categorically rejected President Trump's recent claims of so-called

strong and productive indirect talks that could soon in the conflict.

Iranian officials, they stated there has been no meaningful dialogue with Washington,

and they accused the Trump administration of using negotiations as a cover to buy time

while continuing military operations.

Iran, they said it will not be fooled again after what it called previous deceptions by

the United States.

Iran, they countered the U.S. proposal with five strict conditions for any potential cease

fire, including a complete halt to all aggression and assassinations, mechanisms to prevent future

attacks, and payment of war reparations, thus cessation of hostilities on all fronts,

and international recognition of Iran's authority over the Strait of Hormuz.

Despite the U.S. announcement of a temporary pause in strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure,

Iran, they continue launching ballistic missiles and drones at Israeli and Gulf targets.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon is accelerating the deployment of thousands of additional U.S. troops,

including elite army airborne soldiers and Marines, all headed to the Middle East to bolster

existing carrier strike groups and prepare for potential further escalation.

Iran's parliament speaker warned the U.S. not to test their resolve.

While Tehran's signal, it is prepared to escalate operations if provoked.

An article from World Israel News is entitled Saudi Arabia, UAE mold joining U.S.

Israel war on Iran, and it reports that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are

seriously considering joining or actively supporting the U.S. Israel military campaign

against Iran.

According to sources familiar with the discussions, both of the Gulf states, they have been

quiet talks with Washington and Jerusalem about possible participation.

Options reportedly include allowing the use of their air bases for U.S. and Israeli aircraft,

sharing intelligence, providing logistical support, and potentially contributing their

own air and naval assets.

The two countries, they are said to be alarmed by Iran's recent missile and drone barrages.

These threats to close the strait of her moves, and it's growing cooperation with Russia

and China.

Saudi and UAE officials, they view the current conflict as a rare opportunity to decisively

weaken Iran's military capabilities and its network of proxy militants, militants that

have long threatened Gulf security.

The article notes that any public involvement, well, it would mark a major shift in regional

alliances, and it could dramatically alter the balance of power in the Middle East.

Now we turn to an article from The Times of Israel entitled, I ran, appears to target

Israeli power plant in missile attack, but misses, and it reports just that.

I ran, they did launch a ballistic missile, and they appeared to target what is a major

power plant in central Israel.

Thankfully, the projectile missed, and no damage was reported.

The missile was part of a larger barrage that fired on Israel on Tuesday.

Israeli air defense, they intercepted most of the incoming projectiles, but at least

one missile evaded the defenses and struck an open area near that power plant.

Officials confirmed there were no injuries or damage to the facility.

The attempted strike on this critical energy infrastructure, well, it is seen as an escalation

by Iran in retaliation for ongoing Israeli and US operations against that country.

The Israeli military, they stated it views any attack on civilian infrastructure as a

severe provocation, and it will respond accordingly.

This is the latest in a series of Iranian attempts to strike strategic sites inside Israel.

An article from Jewish Breaking News, this entitled, IDF troops kill as bullet gunmen

in close quarters clash.

It reports that Israeli ground forces, they engage and they eliminated several, as

bullet terrorist in a fierce close quarters battle in southern Lebanon.

According to the IDF, troops from the 91st divisions, Gaza division and other units,

they encountered an armed Hasbola cell that opened fire on them during an operation

near the border.

The soldiers return fire in intense fighting at a very short range, killing the gunmen.

Weapons including rifles and rocket propelled grenades, they were seized from the site.

The IDF stated that the operation was part of an ongoing effort to dismantle Hasbola

infrastructure and prevent future attacks on Israeli communities.

No Israeli casualties were reported in this specific clash.

The incident, it comes amid continued Israeli ground operation in southern Lebanon.

It's aimed at degrading Hasbola's military capabilities and securing the northern border.

The IDF, they describe the engagement as a significant tactical success in the fight

against the Iran-backed terrorist group.

News tonight from the ambassador to NATO, America's ambassador to NATO, that some of the NATO

nations are now stepping up to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.

Here's a short clip from Fox Business.

You know, we've been in overdrive here diplomatically, pushing our allies, both here in Brussels

and across capitals in Europe and in the Middle East to convince everybody.

Unfortunately, it took some convincing that this is more important to them than it is

the United States.

I mean, we get very little, if any, oil through those Strait of Hormuz.

It certainly is affecting the oil prices of the United States, but that's one of the

great things that President Trump was able to do is to make America energy independent.

And that independence obviously guarantees our supply.

Now, we have allies that are finally stepping up.

I think from the time this conflict broke out, they were certainly non-committal to what

they could bring to the fight or bring to help us.

But they have done things that I think goes sometimes unnoticed.

We had several allies here in Europe and in NATO that were providing key and crucial

basing, overflight and access, that whether it's Sudabay, where I was in Greece on the

Isle of Crete, or whether it was other countries, including Germany and France, that were providing

our ability to prosecute this fight.

So there are key allies that are contributing, that are providing things.

We just want more, and we need more, because even though President Trump has been very clear,

Maria, that we don't need this, it's good to act as a group of nations, because this

is ultimately going to help everyone, and a rand that does not have a nuclear weapon

that can no longer produce missiles at scale, that can no longer menace the region in

this Strait.

I think it's good for the world, and ultimately, the world needs to step up and participate.

Now we turn to an article from Malay Mail. It's entitled China Opportunity, question mark.

Taiwan flags risk from US focus on Middle East conflict.

It reports that Beijing, they view the ongoing US military involvement in the Iran war as a

strategic opportunity to advance its ambitions regarding Taiwan. Chinese analysts and officials,

they believe the heavy American focus on the Middle East, well, it has diverted Washington's

attention, its resources and military assets away from the Indo-Pacific, thus potentially creating

a window for China to increase pressure on the island of Taiwan. The article notes that

senior Chinese military figures have privately described the current period as favorable

for Beijing's long-term goal of reunification. However, it also flags risks. Some Chinese strategists,

they worry that a prolonged or even escalated Middle East conflict could ultimately strengthen

US allies in Asia, or lead to a rapid US pivot back toward the Pacific once the Iran situation

stabilizes. The peace highlights that while China is not expected to launch an immediate invasion,

it is accelerating military drills, gray zone tactics, and diplomatic efforts to isolate Taiwan

while the US remains stretched thin. We'll be right back after this short break.

An article from AP News is entitled Russia launches new offensive in Ukraine as civilian

attacks intensify. It reports that Russian forces have launched a major new offensive

across multiple fronts in eastern Ukraine with a sharp increase in strikes on civilian areas

and infrastructure as well. According to Ukrainian officials and Western analysis,

Russian troops, they are pushing forward with intensified ground assaults that are supported by

heavy artillery barrages, glide bombs, and swarms of attack drones. The offensive,

it has led to a significant civilian casualties with multiple residential neighborhoods,

hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings damaged or even destroyed just in the last several days.

Fresh evacuation orders, they have been issued for thousands of residents

as the fighting intensifies. Ukrainian forces, they report fierce resistance,

but they acknowledge they are under a heavy pressure due to Russian numbers. They are superior

in numbers and relentless aerial bombardment. Escalation, it comes as peace talks, they remain

stall. Both sides accusing each other of deliberately targeting civilians, all in violation of international

law. United Nations, they have expressed serious concerns over the rising number of civilian deaths

and they have called for an immediate investigation into the attacks on populated areas.

Local officials in the denets, they reported several apartment blocks were hit, leaving families

without power or water. And that meant rescue workers, they needed to continue searching for

survivors under that rubble. So another hot spot in the world tonight. An article from Front

Page Mag is entitled California achieves one million dollars per unit homeless housing.

It reports that California has now spent more than one million dollars per permanent housing

unit. That's in its efforts to address homelessness.

Despite pouring tens of billions of dollars into the program over the last several years,

California's homeless problem and numbers while they continue to rise. The article

and highlights specific projects where the cost per unit has reached over one million dollars,

including supportive housing developments that were plagued by massive cost overruns.

And then the bureaucratic delays and of course poor oversight. Critics, they argue that much

of the money is consumed by high construction costs, excessive regulations, and union requirements

along with administrative overhead rather than actually housing people. I don't know,

me sounds like another program where money's being siphoned off.

The people are being enriched. Is that what's going on here? That's my question tonight.

Maybe another investigation is needed. The piece notes that even as California claims,

they have made progress in building new units, well, many remain unoccupied.

And that's due to strict eligibility rules or management issues.

All the streets in major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, they remain filled with

tents and encampments. Author includes that the state's approach, well, it has proven to be an

extremely expensive failure. A little measurable reduction in actual homelessness,

despite this record spending. An article from Wolfstreet reports that yields on short-term US

treasuries surged sharply this week with the two-year yield jumping to its highest level in months.

And the three-year yield also spiking, thus causing parts of the yield curve to uninvert.

The sudden move reflects shifting market expectations toward the possibility

of federal reserve rate hikes rather than further cuts as investors reassessed the inflation

outlook and the government's massive borrowing and the needs for printing more money.

Garcle notes that the US government, they sold a record 606 billion in treasury securities

during the week, which of course underscores the relentless pace of federal borrowing in order

to finance the massive deficits. Despite the yield spike, the man for the auctions, well,

they remain solid, but the rapid rise in short-term yields is raising concerns about higher costs for

borrowing the money and the government and their approach. Wolf Richard writes there at Wolfstreet,

he said, quote, the borrowing must go on, quote, highlighting how the US treasury continues to flood

the market with new debt, even as interest rates climb. And the yield curve, well, it's being

closely watched by economists, all as a potential signal of changing monetary policy and expectations.

It's now time for our nightly world view report commentary. It's an article that I wrote over at

worldviewtimes.com. I entitled it Ezekiel 38 and 39, Gog and Megog Coalition, forming right now

to seize Israel's natural gas and oil. That's the question I'm asking. It outlines how current

geopolitical alignments in the Middle East are rapidly forming what could be an exact coalition

described in the Bible prophecy of Ezekiel 38 and 39. The article, it explains that Russia

is thought to be by many part of this Gog and Megog Coalition, where Gog simply means head or the

roof. Who will be leading it? Will it be Russia? Will it be Turkey? I don't really know,

but I do know the Bible tells us in Ezekiel 38 and 39 the coalition of nations and they include

Persia. We also see named among them Rosh or Russia and Turkey is also among the nations listed

in this coalition that one day come against Israel. It details how these three powers,

along with several other nations that are named, they're increasingly working together right now,

militarily, economically, diplomatically. They're all in coordination, particularly Russia,

Iran and Turkey. We know Russia has embedded itself deeply in Syria. Iran, they continue to supply

advanced drones and missiles to their proxies and Turkey under Erdogan. They've moved closer to

both Moscow and Tehran, thus creating what I described as the beginning stages of the Gog and Megaga

Alliance that foretold thousands of years ago. Again, you can read about yourself in Ezekiel 38 and 39,

a central focus of the article that again you can read at worldviewtimes.com is Israel's massive

discoveries of natural gas and oil in the Mediterranean Sea, particularly in the Leviathan

and Tamar Fields. Now these resources, they're highlighted because of what the scripture refers to

as the spoils or the plunder that specifically mentioned in Ezekiel chapter 38,

verses 12 through 13. This is supposedly why this coalition invades Israel to seize their treasure.

The piece it knows that these energy finds, well, they have dramatically increased Israel's

strategic and economic importance in the region, thus making it a prime target for nations,

well, seeking energy dominance and wealth. I also argue that the prophecy is no longer abstract

or distance. I think there's a lot of stage setting going on here. It can be dogmatic,

but it does seem as though this is stage setting for the prophecies to come to pass, maybe sooner

rather than later. We'll just have to watch. But I'm also very aware of the global powers

that are indeed eyeing Israel's offshore energy wealth. And in the article, I also connect recent

events to this prophecy, such as, well, Russia's military presence near Israel's borders.

I ran nuclear ambitions and their proxy wars, and of course, Turkey's shifting alliances.

In the article, I warn that these developments are not random coincidences, but I think they are

actually aligning specifically the way the ancient tax says it will occur. I emphasize that while

the timing of the full invasion is only known to God or the coalition, it clearly seems to be

forming. And the motivation of seizing Israel's resources, I think, is becoming more evident

with each passing month. Finally, in this article, I call on the readers to recognize the prophetic

significance of these alignments and to stay watchful. I stress that the God of Israel remains sovereign

over the nations and that every detail of Ezekiel's prophecy, well, it will ultimately be fulfilled

exactly as written. That'll serve as both a warning and a powerful testimony to the reliability

of Scripture in all of time. For centuries, people have read Ezekiel 38 and 39, and they have

wondered how such a specific coalition could ever form against Israel. Now I think we're watching it

happen step by step. Russia, Iran, and Turkey, they're drawing closer together, and the massive

natural gas and oil discoveries of Israel, well, they're becoming the very prize. I think the

Bible said would align them together. And don't forget, we also have the Bengurian port that's

being proposed right through Gaza. I met this entire trade route, the Strait of Hormuz,

this whole coalition, this could be part of that treasure. The world, they may call it geopolitics,

but we recognize it as the hand of God moving the nations exactly where he said they would be

in these last days. So all of this should really strengthen our faith and sharpen our focus.

Keep watching Israel, keep praying for the peace of Jerusalem, stay grounded in God's word,

because every promise that he has made, well, it is going to come to pass. And watching Bible

prophecy stage setting is very important because it keeps us grounded in the realization that

our time is short, and then we need to be busy. As the church, those of us who are believers,

with what is our ultimate calling, the great commission. We want to read the full article. It's
