The United States launched a significant wave of airstrikes against Iranian military assets overnight, targeting over 80 sites including air defense systems, command-and-control centers, coastal radar installations, anti-ship missiles, and more than 60 IRGC fast boats. The strikes come in direct response to Iranian attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump declared the interim ceasefire with Tehran "over" during a NATO summit in Ankara, though he indicated diplomatic channels remain open. Iran retaliated with drone attacks targeting U.S. military installations in Bahrain and Kuwait, triggering missile alerts across the region. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte called the U.S. strikes "absolutely necessary." The Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world's oil passes, remains a flashpoint. The U.S. also revoked a waiver that had permitted Iranian oil sales, tightening economic pressure. Brent crude prices spiked on the news, and global markets reacted with uncertainty. Centered on the Cross: In moments when nations posture and tensions rise, Scripture calls us to be peacemakers without abandoning truth. Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" (Matthew 5:9). That doesn't mean looking away from aggression — it means praying for leaders, praying for protection of innocent lives, and trusting that the ultimate peace is found not in treaties or strikes, but in the Prince of Peace Himself. As you process this news, let your first response be prayer, not panic.
