After Fleeing the Regime Decades Ago,
She Fights for a Free Iran and Exposes 'Islamic Radicalism'
|
|
As a child, Goldie Ghamari had to flee oppression in Iran with her family. Today, she's a human rights activist who has been calling for international action for years against the abuses of the Islamic regime in Tehran. Now she says, "The regime is done, all that matters is how fast it falls."
Ghamari holds a Juris Doctor and is a former Canadian lawmaker. She's now a political analyst and human rights advocate, raising awareness on "occupied Iran, Islamic terrorism, and jihad."
She says the radicalism of the Iranian regime, and the way they have oppressed and murdered tens of thousands of their own people, has backfired. "The one thing that the Islamic Republic has been able to achieve, very successfully, is making Iranians despise Islam," she told CBN on Wednesday.
Ghamari's bio says she was "proudly accused of 'Islamophobia' by the 'National Council of Canadian Muslims' (aka CAIR Canada) for exposing Islamic radicalism and antisemitism in Canada."
And she joined the 700 Club on Wednesday to talk about what's happening inside Iran, and what it will take to finally oust the deeply entrenched Islamic regime, which still controls the military and intelligence apparatus of the country. (CBN) Watch Video Here>

Father, we pray for only Your holy plans and purposes to prevail in Iran. We thank You for truth being exposed and revealed to the world by Iranians that have experienced this oppressive regime. Unleash Your warrior angels to help fight in the mighty battle for our brothers and sisters living in tyranny and also for citizens protesting decades of evil. In the Name of Jesus, we declare a spiritual-awakening and turning to Yeshua, through swift rescue of Iranian citizens against Islamic radicalism. Come and show us Your mighty power Abba, as we stand strong for the protection of our beloved Israel and also for all suffering in Iran! In the powerful name of Christ, we pray- Amen
"Do not fear them, for the Lord your God is the one fighting for you." (Deut. 3:22)

Before-and-after satellite imagery offers a rare look at damage inside Iran
|
|
Fresh satellite images give a rare aerial view of the damage across Iran after U.S.-Israeli strikes and what Tehran’s retaliation left behind across the region.
Planet Labs satellite imagery captured burning ships and damaged facilities at the Konarak base in southern Iran, as well as significant destruction at Iran’s naval headquarters in Bandar Abbas on the Persian Gulf, reflecting the scale of the strikes on military infrastructure.
Imagery from Vantor shows damage to facilities and vessels located in Iran's Bushehr port in the Persian Gulf.
In addition to naval assets, satellite photos show a bunker at Bushehr air base hit by a strike, leaving a large crater and destroying several nearby small buildings.
More strikes targeted the Choqa Balk drone facility in western Iran.
Radar systems at the Zahedan air base in eastern Iran — near the country’s borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan — were also struck.
The two facilities are about 800 to 900 miles apart, underscoring the broad reach of the coordinated strikes. (Fox News) Read more here.

Lord we thank you for the success in taking out these dangerous facilities. We pray over the Iranian people that they would choose a leader that will lead them in freedom. We pray for restoration and healing over their land that they will seek you and come to know you intimately. In Jesus name amen.
"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

Secret site bombed by IDF critical to Iran's nuclear plans
|
|
Despite doubts about recent IDF claims of having destroyed a secret nuclear site that was critical for the Islamic regime’s plans to develop a nuclear weapon, The Jerusalem Post has exclusively confirmed with Israeli sources the dangers the site posed.
Last week, IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Effie Defrin revealed in a press conference that the air force had destroyed a secret Iranian nuclear weapons development site.
Designating the site as Min Zadai, on the northeast outskirts of Tehran, Defrin said it was related to weapon development.
He said that IDF intelligence followed nuclear scientists who tried to travel there stealthily. By following these scientists, he said that the military learned how these activities could help Tehran rehabilitate aspects of its weapons development program for a nuclear bomb. (Jerusalem Post) Read more here.
|
|
We pray over all IDF soldiers for their safety. We thank you that they found out about these dangerous sites and took it out. We continue to pray for peace over your people in Israel and that they would come to know you intimately. We pray, Lord, that your hand would be on their nation and on their leadership to administer justice and peace. We speak all of this in faith in Jesus name amen.
“He chooses our inheritance for us, The glory of Jacob whom He loves.”
(Psalm 47:4)

Seventh U.S. Service Member Killed During Iran Conflict
|
|
A seventh U.S. service member has been killed following strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran; no identity has been revealed.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the passing Sunday in a post on X.
“Last night, a U.S. service member passed away from injuries received during the Iranian regime’s initial attacks across the Middle East. The service member was seriously wounded at the scene of an attack on U.S. troops in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on March 1,” the post said.
“This is the seventh service member killed in action during Operation Epic Fury. Major combat operations continue. The identity of the fallen warrior will be withheld until 24 hours after next of kin notification,” it added.
The other six U.S. service members killed during the strikes were identified last week. Their names:
- Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, 54, of Sacramento, California.
- Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, 45, of Indianola, Iowa.
- Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida.
- Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska.
- Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota.
- Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa.
“Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends,” the president said in a six-minute video. “[W]e’ll do everything possible where that won’t be the case, but America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war against, basically, civilization.”
While the president said the war could last several weeks, he has warned it could extend longer. He has not ruled out the possibility of boots on the ground in Iran, though he has expressed optimism that it will not come to that.
“I would say, if we ever did that, they would be so decimated that they wouldn’t be able to fight at the ground level,” Trump told reporters. (Breitbart) Read more here.

Lord God, we are so grateful for the men and women that are laying their life down for Americans, for righteousness, and justice for the nations. We just speak a special blessing over them and their families that you would comfort them in their time of mourning and need. Protect all of our soldiers Lord, as they continue defending freedom in Jesus name amen.
"By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers." (1 John 3:16)

Trump vows block on signing new laws until SAVE America Act passes Senate
|
|
|
President Donald Trump is vowing to reject signing any new bills into law until the SAVE America Act is passed by the Senate, a tall order with just 53 Republicans seated and the 60-vote filibuster threshold a high hurdle.
"Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS," Trump wrote Sunday morning on Truth Social. "It must be done immediately."
"It supersedes everything else," Trump added. "MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE."
The vow to halt all new law signings is a new one coming from the White House and notable because of the Senate hesitation to follow the urgings of Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to force the Senate to bring the bill forward through the talking filibuster.
"I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed," Trump's post continued, "AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION - GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY - ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!!"
While Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has publicly acknowledged a willingness to bring a vote on the SAVE America Act before the upper chamber, there is hesitation within the Republican Party about forcing the talking filibuster under the current Senate rules.
The talking filibuster would force Democrats to speak on the Senate floor to argue against a voter identification position widely supported by Americans, as Trump noted, but it would also force Republicans to sit in attendance with a quorum. That has been rebuked by longtime Senate GOP veterans as something that would "waste time."

Help us and our leaders realize that being a United States citizen is a great honor and a great opportunity for all who choose to want to be a part of our great country. We just pray that there will be an increase in respect for those that want to become citizens, what it means to put aside our differences, and become one and work together to make this nation special and free in Jesus name. We speak unity in the Senate that they will get this done. Amen.
“In this new creation life, your nationality makes no difference, nor your ethnicity, education, nor economic status—they matter nothing. For it is Christ that means everything as he lives in every one of us!” (Colossians 3:11)

1. One killed, two seriously wounded by cluster munitions as Iranian attack targets central Israel - Jerusalem Post
One person was killed, and multiple others were seriously wounded during one of several Iranian ballistic missile barrages toward central Israel, Magen David Adomconfirmed on Monday afternoon.
Cluster munitions were reportedly used by Iran, with around half a dozen sites hit.
In some of the locations that were hit, no early warnings or rocket sirens were sounded, and IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Effie Defrin said the military was reviewing what might have gone wrong. (Read more)

4. IDF says troops pushed further into Lebanon overnight to establish ‘forward defense’ - Times of Israel
Overnight, the Israeli military says, it pushed deeper into southern Lebanon as part of its “enhanced forward defense posture” after Hezbollah began attacking Israel a week ago.
Troops of the 7th Armored Brigade, under the 36th Division, raided the Rab al-Thalathine area, west of the Israeli border community of Misgav Am, with the aim of locating and clearing the Lebanese village of Hezbollah infrastructure and operatives, the army says.
Before the ground troops pushed into the area, the IDF says it carried out numerous air and artillery strikes. (Read more)

5. Overnight rule change nearly sparks riot at Ben Gurion Airport
- Israel National News
Travelers who arrived at Ben Gurion Airport on Monday after it reopened for outgoing flights discovered that although they had purchased tickets, they were still unable to board their flights.
The confusion over the guidelines led to significant anger among passengers, with shouting and pushing that even required police intervention.
The problem stemmed from the fact that the wartime guidelines were changed dramatically overnight. Yesterday, airlines were authorized to increase the number of passengers on each flight from 100 to 200. In line with this, the companies began selling additional tickets to hundreds of customers on waiting lists. (Read more)

1. Trump announces military coalition to take on cartels in Latin America - Breitbart
President Donald Trump announced at Saturday’s “Shield of the Americas” summit in Florida that a new military coalition will focus on drug trafficking and cartels.
Trump said at the Doral meeting with 12 Latin American leaders that “America’s Counter Cartel Coalition” will conduct operations against cartels across the region.
At least 17 nations have already signed on to the agreement.
“The heart of our agreement is a commitment to using lethal military force to destroy the sinister cartels and terrorist networks once and for all,” Trump said. “We’ll get rid of them. We need your help. You have to just tell us where they are.” (Read more)

Thank you, Lord for this coalition to get rid of the drug cartels once and for all!

2. Trump Blasts 'Once Great Ally' Britain for Late Response to Iran Conflict - Breitbart
President Donald Trump roasted Britain as a “once great ally” on Saturday as he continued to express displeasure with the left-wing Labour government in London over its initial refusal to grant the U.S. use of its bases for the conflict in Iran.
After severely damaging the so-called “special relationship” between the United Kingdom and the United States — while being shown up by France in terms of swift military deployments — Prime Minister Starmer’s government is said to be preparing to demonstrate a show of force, with reports on Saturday indicating that it is preparing to send aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales for possible deployment to the Middle East.
However, this has apparently failed to impress President Donald Trump, who openly mocked Starmer for his Johnny-come-lately stance to the conflict after having initially refused to allow the United States to use UK bases for operations in Iran.
“The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!” he added. (Read more)

Lord we are disappointed in Great Britain's late Response to help us in the Iran conflict. We pray our 2 countries can find peace again going forward.

3. Netanyahu vows to carry on war, 'eradicate Iranian regime' - Breitbart
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Saturday to carry on the war with Iran, saying Israel had a ‘systematic plan to eradicate the Iranian regime’, as Tehran insisted it would not surrender.
The Israeli premier’s pledge in a televised address to pursue the war “with all our force” came on a day when Iran launched wave after wave of missiles and drones at its Gulf neighbours.
Israel and the United States, meanwhile, pounded Iran again, with one air strike setting a Tehran airport ablaze and another hitting an oil depot, even as Tehran continued to retaliate.
Its Revolutionary Guards said they had struck America’s Juffair base in Bahrain, adding that it had been used to attack an Iranian desalination plant earlier Saturday.
There were air raid warnings and blasts in Jerusalem in Israel and Doha in Qatar, and attacks on the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
The UAE said its air defences intercepted 15 missiles and 119 drones on Saturday morning and video footage showed one projectile crashing at Dubai airport. (Read more)

4. Treasury Secretary Bessent forecasts largest bombing campaign yet, says Iran attempting 'economic chaos' - Fox News
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Iranians are fighting on two fronts while warning when the nation will endure its next intense military operation from U.S. forces on "Kudlow" Friday.
"Tonight will be our biggest bombing campaign, and we'll do the most damage to the Iranian missile launchers, the factories that build the missiles, and we are substantially degrading them," Bessent told FOX Business host Larry Kudlow Friday.
After failing on the military front after what Bessent described as the United States’ "overwhelming" strike campaign, Iran has been forced to play another card, the economy. (Read more)

5. US weighs asking China to curb Russian, Iranian oil purchases - Fox News
The U.S. is reportedly considering asking China to curb its purchases of oil from America's adversaries, like Iran and Russia, ahead of President Donald Trump's trip to Beijing at the end of the month.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is weighing whether to raise the issue of China's energy purchases with his counterpart, Vice Premier He Lifeng, when they meet in Paris mid-March.
The Journal's report cited people familiar with Bessent's meetings with former U.S. officials, business executives and policy analysts about how the administration wants China to buy U.S. energy products instead.
China sources a significant portion of its oil purchases from Russia. Those purchases come at a steep discount due to international sanctions levied on Russia's energy sector that stem from its ongoing war against Ukraine, which has been funded in part by Moscow's oil sales. (Read more)

Lord, we pray you orchestrate this meeting and pray success on these requests regarding China curbing their oil purchases from Russia.

6. China could face ‘real problems’ within two months if Strait of Hormuz crisis drags on, expert warns - Fox News
With Strait of Hormuz traffic nearly halted, China's reliance on Iranian oil could trigger "real problems" within two months if the crisis continues, one expert warned.
Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang joined FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo on "Mornings with Maria" to assess how escalating tensions around the Strait of Hormuz could reverberate through China's fragile, export-dependent economy.
Chang noted that a significant share of China's discounted Iranian crude, vital for its independent "teapot" refiners, typically transits the narrow waterway, where ships are now largely stalled north and south of the Strait.
"Much of that oil... actually goes to China trying to get somewhere between... 15% and 23% of its seaborne oil from Iran, and that oil transits the Strait of Hormuz," Chang said.
He added that while Beijing has diversified supplies, the loss of heavily discounted barrels comes at a vulnerable moment for factories dependent on cheaper energy.
"This will go through the system, and I suspect you will see real problems in about two months in China if this situation continues," Chang said. (Read more)

The Weight of Holiness
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, March 9, 2026
The reading in Exodus 30:11–34:35 is called Tisa, “When You Take.” The LORD commands Moses to take a census of Israel, each person giving a half shekel as atonement. Instructions follow for the copper laver, the holy anointing oil, and the sacred incense. God appoints Betzalel and Oholiab to build the Tabernacle. Yet while Moses is on the mountain with God, the people grow anxious at his delay and persuade Aaron to fashion a golden calf. Moses returns, sees the rebellion, and shatters the tablets of the covenant. The Levites confront the guilty, and Moses later returns to the mountain to intercede for Israel. God forgives the people, gives a new set of tablets, and proclaims His attributes of mercy. But, wait, there’s more!
The contrast in this portion is striking. God gives careful instructions for creating sacred space, yet the people choose a god of their own making. While Moses is receiving revelation, Israel grows impatient and demands something they can see. The second commandment forbids idols and graven images. God intentionally concealed His form so His people would trust Him by faith rather than by sight. Pagan religions centered on visible objects of worship, but the LORD set Himself apart from that system. Israel’s failure reminds us how quickly human hearts drift toward control. Waiting on God requires patience and trust. When we grow restless, we often attempt to create substitutes that feel manageable, but ultimately lead us away from the holiness God desires. Read More

Former Department of Defense Communications Director:
Barbara Ledeen Gives Her Views on Iran
WORLD PRAYER NETWORK | DR. JIM GARLOW
|
|
|
Yesterday, on Fox News Sunday, Senator Mark Warner repeatedly told host Shannon Bream that Iran did not pose an imminent threat to the United States.
But is that actually true?
We interviewed special guest Barbara Ledeen on this topic on the World Prayer Network. She is extremely credentialed, having served as the Director of Communications at the Department of Defense for 8 years during the Reagan Administration. She previously served for 6 years as the Director of Coalitions for the Senate Republican Conference, and for 16 years on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Barbara is also the Founder and Director of the Independent Women's Forum.
Additionally, she is the widow of the recently deceased Michael Ledeen, a historian who wrote over 35 books studying the evolution and development of mass movements, from fascism to communism to Islam. He was one of the first Western writers to analyze the 1979 Iranian revolution, arguing that Ayatollah Khamenei was a "theocratic fascist" and that the regime was inherently hostile to the United States from its inception. He developed deep knowledge of Iran and its people and had forged a network of Iranians who opposed the regime both inside and outside Iran.
Simply put, Barbara is expertly qualified to discuss the situation in Iran. Listen to her interview as she, along with Joseph Glover, explain the necessity of the U.S. attack on Iran: WATCH VIDEO HERE
PS: Prayers and worship are also recorded on the video call.

Archaeologists uncover gold-laden tomb filled with elite burial treasures from over 1,000 years ago
|
|
|
Archaeologists recently unearthed a gold-laden burial in Panama — an epic discovery that dates back over 1,000 years.
The Ministry of Culture of Panama announced the discovery, made at the El Caño archaeological site in Panama's Coclé Province.
The tomb contained several gold and metal artifacts, including chest plates, ear ornaments and bracelets, as well as "finely crafted ceramics." The tomb is called Tomb 3.
Though archaeologists first identified Tomb 3 in 2009, they didn't realize the complexity of the structure — or the extent of its funerary offerings — until now.
The grave was centered around one individual "surrounded by a series of prestige objects demonstrating his high status within his community’s sociopolitical hierarchy," the ministry said in a translated Feb. 20 statement.
Ministry officials called the discovery a "highly significant event for Panamanian archaeology."
"El Caño has become one of the most important pre-Hispanic cemeteries in the region, associated with societies that inhabited central Panama between the 8th and 11th centuries A.D.," the statement said. (Fox News) Read More
