✝️🛐🌍🕊️🌎 Choking off China's support (especially oil money) would significantly undermine the IRGC's dominance and could shift power back toward the regular government or enable broader change. But right now, the IRGC has actually gained internal control amid the crisis, and fully severing the China link remains challenging without higher escalation risks.

Trump Just Pulled Off The Biggest Power Move in Global Economic History… Iran played their last card. Then Trump hit ‘em with the Uno Reverse. Now the deck is reshuffling entirely. Energy will never flow the same way again. With Venezuela’s vast oil reserves under U.S. control and now the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, America now oversees the global oil supply. Countries that want oil must buy from America. This is the Gulf of America, packed with supertankers racing to load up on US oil. Hardest hit? China, who just lost their number 1 and 2 oil exporters in a matter of weeks. Absolute masterclass.

Today, an entire Christian family was buried in Nigeria. A father. A mother. Their children. Murdered for their faith in Jesus Christ by Fulani Muslim terrorists. The world may ignore it — but Heaven will not forget. Pray for the persecuted Church. #PrayForNigeria @ezekieldachomo0

🧐A 2024 Guardian investigation cited patterns, payments, and Pakistani probes pointing to external orchestration for at least some cases. Similar tactics have been compared to Israeli operations. theguardian.com Other possibilities include: Rival militant groups (e.g., internal JeM/LeT feuds, ISKP targeting Deobandi figures, or TTP actions). Criminal disputes or personal enmities disguised as terror-related hits. Simple law-and-order failures in a country with high gun violence and weak investigations. Context and Broader Picture These “unknown gunmen” killings target individuals tied to the proxy infrastructure built since the 1980s (as discussed earlier). They have degraded mid-level command in LeT and JeM but have not dismantled the top leadership (e.g., Hafiz Saeed or Masood Azhar remain active or protected). Pakistan continues large-scale military operations against TTP and other anti-state groups, claiming hundreds killed in recent years. The pattern fuels conspiracy theories on all sides and highlights Pakistan’s complex internal security dynamics: a mix of state tolerance for certain proxies, blowback from radicalization, and external pressures. In summary, while many killings of terror-linked mullahs/commanders by unidentified assailants have occurred in the last three years, attributing them systematically to ISI agents is plausible in some cases (as internal house-cleaning) but not conclusively proven. Alternative explanations, including external actors or militant infighting, are equally discussed in open sources. Pakistan’s own counter-terror operations remain the primary overt method against domestic threats.🤔

✝️🛐🌎🕊️🌍............⚔️🦹 A note about elimination of terrorist activities by unidentified persons Yes, there has been a noticeable pattern in Pakistan over the last 3–4 years (roughly 2023–early 2026) of targeted killings of individuals linked to terrorist organizations, particularly commanders, operatives, and religious figures (often referred to as mullahs, maulanas, or clerics) associated with groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), and related Deobandi or Ahl-e-Hadith networks. These killings are frequently carried out by unidentified gunmen (often described as motorcycle-borne assailants who escape quickly), and responsibility is rarely claimed. moneycontrol.com Pakistani authorities and media often describe them as “mysterious” or “unknown gunmen” incidents. Estimates from Indian and some international reports suggest around 20–32 such high-profile eliminations of anti-India terror-linked figures between 2020 and mid-2025, with many occurring in 2023–2025. organiser.org Key Examples from 2023–2026 Here are some documented cases involving terrorist operatives or clerics (many with “maulana/mufti” titles, indicating religious/clerical roles): 2023: Multiple killings, including: Shahid Latif (JeM commander, linked to Pathankot attack) — shot in a mosque in Sialkot. Bashir Ahmad Peer (HM commander). Riyaz Ahmad alias Abu Qasim (LeT senior commander) — killed inside a mosque in Rawalakot (PoK). Maulana Raheem Ullah Tariq (close aide of Masood Azhar, JeM). Maulana Ziaur Rehman (LeT operative). Mufti Qaiser Farooqui and others. m.economictimes.com 2024–2025: Continued incidents, such as: Killings of LeT and JeM mid-to-senior level operatives in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and PoK. Specific cases like Razaullah Nizamani (LeT), and various maulanas linked to recruitment or ideological support. 2026 (early reports): LeT commander Bilal Arif Salafi (also referred to as Mohammad Bilal Arif Salafi) — shot and stabbed inside the heavily guarded Markaz-e-Taiba headquarters in Muridke shortly after Eid prayers in March 2026. Attackers infiltrated the complex and escaped. youtube.com Other targeted hits on JeM/LeT figures and some Deobandi clerics. Not all victims are strictly “mullahs” running madrasas; many are operational commanders who also hold religious titles or preach jihadist ideology. Purely sectarian killings (e.g., Sunni vs. Shia clerics) or TTP/ISKP attacks on pro-Taliban figures (like the 2025 suicide bombing at Darul Uloom Haqqania killing Mawlana Hamid-ul-Haq Haqqani) occur separately and are often claimed by groups. en.wikipedia.org Possible Explanations and Speculation Your suggestion that these could be carried out by ISI agents (or under ISI direction) is one theory discussed in Pakistani and regional commentary. Reasons sometimes cited for this view: Internal “cleanup”: The Pakistani military/ISI has historically used these groups as strategic assets against India but faces domestic blowback (e.g., from TTP resurgence). Eliminating older or compromised commanders could reduce liabilities, prevent defection, or manage internal rivalries while maintaining plausible deniability. Factional or disciplinary actions: Some killings may settle scores within the military-mullah nexus or target elements that have become too independent or linked to anti-state activities. However, this remains unproven and speculative. No official ISI admission exists, and investigations in Pakistan rarely lead to clear conclusions. A prominent alternative explanation, reported in Western and Indian media: Indian intelligence (RAW) involvement: Allegations (strongly denied by India) suggest India has run covert operations since around 2020, recruiting local proxies (Pakistani citizens or Afghan nationals working in the UAE or via online channels) to carry out hits on militants wanted for attacks on Indian soil. 🤔

✝️🛐🌎🕊️🌍.........⚔️🦹 Osama bin Laden and IRGC:- Yes, there was a documented tactical and logistical relationship between Osama bin Laden (and al-Qaeda more broadly) and elements of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), particularly its Quds Force, though it was pragmatic, limited, and often strained rather than a deep ideological alliance. brookings.edu Pre-9/11 Ties (1990s) In the early 1990s, while bin Laden was in Sudan, intermediaries (including Hasan al-Turabi and Ayman al-Zawahiri) facilitated contacts with Iranian officials. This led to a reported agreement allowing al-Qaeda operatives safe transit through Iran to and from Afghanistan, with logistical support such as avoiding passport stamps to conceal travel. fbi.gov Senior al-Qaeda figures, including Mustafa Hamid (a key liaison) and Saif al-Adel (a top military operative close to bin Laden), negotiated with IRGC officials. Some al-Qaeda members reportedly received training in explosives or other tactics from Hezbollah (an IRGC proxy) in Lebanon or Iran. kyleorton.co.uk Phone records from the late 1990s showed a notable portion of bin Laden's outgoing calls going to Iranian numbers, indicating communication channels. fbi.gov The 9/11 Commission found that Iranian border officials facilitated the transit of several future 9/11 hijackers (at least eight) through Iran without stamping their passports, though it concluded there was no evidence Iran had foreknowledge of or direct involvement in planning the attacks. meforum.org These arrangements stemmed from shared enemies (the U.S., Israel, and at times Saudi Arabia) despite deep Sunni-Shia ideological differences and mutual suspicions. Post-9/11 Sanctuary and Negotiations (2001 Onward) After the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, a group of senior al-Qaeda leaders and families fled westward into Iran rather than east with bin Laden and Zawahiri into Pakistan. This included: Saif al-Adel (who later became al-Qaeda's de facto or actual leader). Saad bin Laden (Osama's son). Other operatives and bin Laden family members. brookings.edu They lived under varying degrees of IRGC/Quds Force protection or control in Iran (sometimes described as "house arrest" or permissive sanctuary). From there, some continued planning or coordinating operations. Bin Laden's emissaries negotiated with Iranian authorities (including IRGC-linked figures like Ahmad Vahidi) for safe passage, releases, and logistical aid. Iran served as a key "artery" for al-Qaeda funds, personnel movement, and communications, according to letters seized from bin Laden's Abbottabad compound. ncr-iran.org The relationship involved bargaining, hostage-taking (e.g., al-Qaeda kidnapping an Iranian diplomat to secure releases), and periodic restrictions or detentions by Iran. Bin Laden viewed some al-Qaeda members in Iran as effectively "hostages" but still relied on the route. brookings.edu Nature of the Relationship It was not a formal alliance but a marriage of convenience driven by mutual utility against common foes. Iran provided safe haven and transit at critical moments (post-9/11 and during U.S. pressure), while al-Qaeda avoided attacking Iran and occasionally coordinated on specific logistics. lawfaremedia.org Tensions persisted: al-Qaeda resented Iranian control and restrictions; Iran worried about al-Qaeda's anti-Shia activities (e.g., in Iraq). Documents from bin Laden's compound describe the ties as "fraught with difficulties" and involving "unpleasant negotiations." brookings.edu U.S. intelligence and Treasury designations have repeatedly highlighted IRGC (especially Quds Force) facilitation of al-Qaeda travel, documents, and support networks. Some senior al-Qaeda figures operated from Iran for years. ge.usembassy

✝️Stay in sacred silence for a few moments. Let the words of the Good Thief and the voice of Jesus echo gently in your soul. This meditation reminds us of a profound truth: The deepest revelation of Christ’s Kingship on Calvary did not first come from the powerful, the learned, or the outwardly pious — but from a repentant sinner who saw with the eyes of faith. No one is ever too far gone. His Kingdom of mercy is open to all who call upon Him with the same humble trust as the Good Thief. May this prayer fill you with deeper peace, renewed awe at the Heavenly Father’s boundless mercy, and intimate closeness to Christ the King. Our departed loved ones who died in His grace are now rejoicing in Paradise, safe forever in the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen. Hallelujah!✝️🛐🌍🕊️🌎........⚔️🦹

A Guided Meditation and Prayer Before the Crucifix 🕊️✝️🛐 Our Heavenly Father, Through Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ The Word Of Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude and awe. We thank You for the infinite love revealed on Mount Calvary, where Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ,offered Himself as the perfect sacrificial Lamb, taking upon Himself the sins of humanity born from Adam’s fall and Satan’s deceit.💞 ✝️🛐Kneel slowly and reverently. Gaze upon the Crucified Christ. Let your eyes rest gently on His pierced hands, His wounded side, His bowed head crowned with thorns. Breathe deeply, and allow the sacred scene of Calvary to fill your heart with holy sorrow and wonder. My Saviour Jesus Christ, Here I am, kneeling at the foot of Your Holy Cross. I behold You hanging there — innocent, silent, suffering for love of me. Blood flows freely from Your wounds, yet Your eyes overflow with mercy and compassion. Beside You hangs the repentant thief, a sinner just like me, justly condemned for his crimes. In that darkest hour — when religious leaders rejected You, soldiers mocked You, and the crowd jeered — he alone saw the truth with eyes of faith. He was the first soul on earth to proclaim You as King — not of an earthly throne, but of the eternal Kingdom of Heaven. While others hurled the title “King of the Jews” in mockery, this dying criminal turned to You in humble trust and cried out: “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” O Jesus, what astonishing grace shone in that moment! Amid agony, shame, and apparent defeat, a broken thief became the first to reveal to the world that Your throne is the Cross, Your crown is made of thorns, and Your Kingdom is everlasting life. No wise men, no apostles, no prophets grasped it so clearly in that instant. It was revealed first to a thief — a guilty man who honestly confessed his sins, defended Your perfect innocence, and placed all his hope in Your kingly mercy. Today, I echo his humble and confident cry: “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” I too am a sinner. I have deserved punishment for my selfishness, my failures, and my many faults. But I look upon You — the sinless Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world — and I believe with all my heart. You are the true King, even on this throne of suffering. Your Kingdom breaks into our hearts here and now, not through power and might, but through mercy and love. Beloved Jesus Christ, remember me. I place all my trust in the promise You gave that day — the same promise You extend to every sinner who turns to You in faith. You answered the Good Thief with love beyond measure: “Truly, I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” What divine mercy! What infinite grace! In one sentence, You opened the gates of Paradise to a criminal at the very moment of death. No lifetime of good works, no long years of penance — only sincere repentance, childlike faith, and a single plea: “Remember me.” And in granting it, You confirmed what he first proclaimed: You are the King who conquers death and welcomes repentant sinners into eternal joy. Beloved Jesus Christ, let that same mercy wash over me today. When I feel unworthy, remind me of the Good Thief who was the first to recognize and proclaim Your Kingship. When fear of death or judgment rises in my heart, let me hear Your gentle, victorious voice: “Today… you will be with Me… in Paradise.” Help me to remain here with You at the foot of the Cross. Teach me, through the example of the Good Thief, to admit my guilt with honesty and humility, to defend Your innocence with my words and my life, to proclaim You as King even when the world denies You, and to hope in You until my final breath. Beloved Jesus Christ, remember me. Hold me close in Your Sacred Heart. Wash me clean in Your Precious Blood. And when my own hour comes, say to me what You said to him: “Today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Amen.✝️🛐🌍🕊️🌎

✝️🛐🌎🕊️🌍...........⚔️🦹 Dear Christian Family, Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today, let us reflect on a timeless warning from God's Word that echoes through history: Pride is the seed of Satan, the root of rebellion against our Creator, and the sure path to destruction. In the Garden of Eden, Satan approached Eve with the subtle temptation: “You will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5). This appeal to pride — the desire to elevate herself above God's command and become like the Most High — led to the Fall. Eve listened, Adam followed, and sin entered the world. What seemed like a small step toward self-exaltation brought shame, separation from God, and ruin for all humanity. The same spirit of pride caused Lucifer's own fall. Once a beautiful and exalted angel, he declared in his heart: “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God... I will make myself like the Most High” (Isaiah 14:13-14). Pride turned an angel of light into the enemy of God, and he has used this same weapon ever since. Centuries later, we see this deadly pattern repeated in the life of Adolf Hitler. Raised in a nominally Christian family, he rose to power promising greatness to a humiliated nation. But as victories mounted, hubris (excessive pride) took hold. He saw himself as chosen by “Providence,” infallible, and destined to reshape the world according to his own vision of racial superiority and power. He played god, rejecting humility and the fear of the Lord. His decisions — invading the Soviet Union on two fronts, refusing wise counsel, and pursuing domination at any cost — led to catastrophic war, the deaths of millions, and his own miserable end in a bunker, defeated and broken. The Bible warns us plainly: “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18) This is not just ancient history or the story of one evil man. It is a living warning for every believer, every family, every church, and every nation. Whenever we exalt ourselves, trust in our own wisdom over God's, or seek to be “like God” in controlling our destiny apart from Him, we plant the very seed that Satan sowed in Eden. Jesus taught the opposite way: “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant... just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:26-28). True greatness is found in humility — acknowledging our dependence on God, submitting to His Word, and walking in love and obedience. Let us examine our hearts today, dear family. Are there areas where pride is creeping in — in our achievements, our opinions, our plans, or our judgments of others? Let us repent quickly and clothe ourselves with humility, for “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble” (James 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5). May we learn from Eve's fall, from Lucifer's rebellion, and from the tragic downfall of figures like Hitler. Let pride have no root among us. Instead, let us walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8), glorifying Christ alone. In His humble and victorious name, Amen.✝️🛐🌎🕊️🌍

✝️🛐🌍🕊️🌎 Guided Meditation and Prayer Before the Crucifix✝️ Kneel slowly. Gaze upon the Crucified Christ. Let your eyes rest on His wounded hands, His pierced side, His bowed head crowned with thorns. Breathe deeply, and let the scene at Calvary fill your heart. My Saviour Jesus Christ, Here I am, kneeling at the foot of Your holy Cross. I see You hanging there — innocent, silent, suffering for love. Blood flows from Your wounds, yet Your eyes are full of mercy. 🕊️Beside You hangs the repentant thief, a sinner like me, punished for his crimes. In that darkest hour, when religious leaders denied You, soldiers mocked You, and crowds jeered, he alone saw the truth. He was the first human being to proclaim You as King—not of an earthly realm, but of the Kingdom of Heaven. While others spat out "King of the Jews" in derision, he turned to You in faith and said: “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” Our Jesus Christ,what grace shone in that moment! Amid the agony, shame, and apparent defeat, this dying criminal became the first to reveal to humanity that You are the true King—the King whose throne is the Cross, whose crown is thorns, whose kingdom is eternal life. No wise men, no apostles, no prophets at that instant grasped it so clearly. It was revealed first to a thief, a broken man who confessed his guilt, defended Your innocence, and trusted in Your kingly power. I echo his humble cry today. I too am a sinner. I have deserved punishment for my faults, my selfishness, my failures. But I look at You — the sinless Lamb who takes away the sins of the world — and I believe. You are the King of the Kingdom of Heaven, even on this throne of suffering. Your kingdom breaks into our hearts right now, through mercy, not might. ✝️ Beloved Jesus Christ, remember me. Remember me in Your kingdom. Do not forget this poor soul who kneels before You. I place all my trust in Your promise — the promise You gave first to that dying thief, and through him, to every one of us who turns to You in faith. You answered him with love beyond imagining: “Truly, I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” What grace! What mercy! In that single sentence, You opened the Gate of Paradise to a criminal at the very hour of death. No good works, no long penance — only faith, repentance, and a single plea: “Remember me.” And in granting it, You confirmed what he first proclaimed: You are the King who conquers death and welcomes sinners into Paradise. Beloved Jesus Christ,let that same mercy fall on me. When I feel unworthy, remind me of the thief who was the first to see and declare Your kingship. When fear of death or judgment rises, let me hear Your voice again: “Today… with Me… in paradise.” Help me to stay here with You, beneath Your Cross. Let me learn from the Good Thief: to admit my guilt honestly, to defend Your innocence with my life, to proclaim You as King even when the world denies it, to hope in You until the end. Beloved Jesus Christ, remember me. Hold me in Your Sacred Heart. Wash me in Your Precious Blood. And when my own hour comes, say to me what You said to him: “Today you will be with Me in paradise.” Amen. Stay in silence for a few moments. Let the words of the thief and Jesus echo in your soul. This meditation reminds us that the deepest revelation of Christ's kingship came not from the powerful or the pious at first, but from a repentant sinner who saw with the eyes of faith. No one is too far gone; His kingdom is open to all who call upon Him like the Good Thief did. May this bring you deeper peace, awe at Heavenly Father's mercy, and closeness to Christ the King. Our departed loved ones are living in Paradise under the kingdom of Heaven. AMEN, Hallelujah ✝️ 🛐 🌎 🕊️ 🌍

✝️🛐🌎🕊️🌍...........⚔️🦹 Dear Christian Family, Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today, let us reflect on a timeless warning from God's Word that echoes through history: Pride is the seed of Satan, the root of rebellion against our Creator, and the sure path to destruction. In the Garden of Eden, Satan approached Eve with the subtle temptation: “You will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5). This appeal to pride — the desire to elevate herself above God's command and become like the Most High — led to the Fall. Eve listened, Adam followed, and sin entered the world. What seemed like a small step toward self-exaltation brought shame, separation from God, and ruin for all humanity. The same spirit of pride caused Lucifer's own fall. Once a beautiful and exalted angel, he declared in his heart: “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God... I will make myself like the Most High” (Isaiah 14:13-14).

It is highly dangerous to be a Christian today in North Korea.  In May of 2023, an entire family, including a two-year-old child, was condemned to life imprisonment for the crime of possessing a Bible.  That same month, a man already incarcerated in a detention camp was beaten nearly to death for the crime of quietly praying.  Please pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in North Korea, and pray that the light of religious liberty may reach even the darkest corners of our world.
