Israel Defies Trump, Strikes Back After Iran Fires 11 Ballistic Missiles

Israel refused U.S. pressure to stand down and responded militarily after Iran launched 11 ballistic missiles, with Netanyahu citing a historical precedent of sovereign self-defence. This defiance underscores Israel's growing isolation as a nation that must act alone — a pattern deeply embedded in biblical prophecy concerning the last days. Zechariah 12:3 warns that Jerusalem will become a burden to all nations, and Israel's willingness to stand against allied pressure aligns with the prophetic picture of a nation ultimately defended not by man but by God.
