Israel has launched a surprise military offensive against Iran, targeting nuclear facilities, infrastructure and key figures in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to Mondo Gonzalez of Prophecy Watchers, who provided an urgent update on the situation unfolding in the Middle East.
“Israel has finally taken the plunge to attack Iran,” Gonzalez said. “The Iranians and the Americans were supposed to have a conversation on Sunday and I think what changed is the necessity of what Israel has now spoken about—the need for a surprise attack.”

Gonzalez noted that Iran had effectively rebuffed diplomatic efforts. “Iran had already come out today and basically, for a lack of a better term, had given the middle finger to the United States and the talks and said, in fact, we will not give up our enrichment and we will never give in to the demands of the United States.”
As waves of Israeli airstrikes reportedly hit Iranian territory, Gonzalez suggested that President Donald Trump may have authorized the move behind the scenes. “Trump certainly must have given his green light and allowed Israel to do this because Israel did come out and say—or I’m sorry, America have come out and said that this is 100% an Israeli attack.”
He added that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a warning to Iran: “They gave a warning to Iran not to attack any of the American bases in the area or in the Middle [East] or else they would draw in the United States, which would be very foolish on Iran’s perspective.”
Gonzalez said the attacks struck deep and without warning. “Iran was so confident because of the talks coming up and their stalling tactics that these scientists and these generals were in bed. They did not have any warning. They did not have any alarms going off. And so this surprise attack has been working so far.”
The strikes extend beyond Iran. “In addition to Iran, Israel also attacked many sites in Yemen as well as Baghdad in Iraq,” he said. “This whole thing is unfolding.”
Citing biblical prophecy in Jeremiah 49, Gonzalez emphasized the potential significance of the conflict. “They’re attacking not just the sites themselves but… in the region of what we know as ancient Elam,” he said. “This certainly, once all the dust settles, could really connect with the prophecies of Elam and the destruction there.”
Gonzalez called for prayer amid the growing conflict. “Please be praying for everybody involved, again even all the innocent people that are involved in this because, as a Christian, we are to care for everybody.”

Quoting Psalm 121:4, he added, “Behold, He who guards Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.”
As the attacks continue and world leaders weigh their next moves, Gonzalez summarized the necessity of Israel’s actions: “When it comes to bullies like this, the only thing they understand is force. And so Israel had to do it.”
