Summary
The Middle East remains on edge as Iran pressures the United States, attacks continue across the region, and Israel waits to see whether President Trump will act again. In this live Q&A, Amir Tsarfati, Barry Stagner, and Mike Golay discuss Iran's strategy, the war in Gaza and Lebanon, the future of Israel's elections, Bible prophecy, salvation, and how believers should respond in the last days. The conversation also explores the rise of deception, the role of the Church, blessing Israel biblically, and the spiritual condition of the world today. As tensions rise globally, this discussion connects current events with the prophetic framework of Scripture.

| 1:12.7 | to that one. |
| 1:15.7 | But it's very interesting how we try to maneuver as the things are so unclear. |

| 2:04.3 | So we were asked gently by the U.S. President not to go full throttle in Lebanon against |
