US & Israel are crushing it in Iran: Don’t listen to the media’s lies — if we stay the course, we’re heading towards an epic victory

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL — When it’s all said and done, we might need to rename this, “Operation Epic Victory.”

You wouldn’t know it from watching or reading the news in the States.

Certainly not by watching the news in Europe or elsewhere around the globe.

But the truth is the U.S. and Israel are absolutely crushing it in Iran.

Four weeks into the fight, the military accomplishments being achieved are so astonishing, so breathtaking, I would have to say they border on the miraculous.

Actually, I’ll say it outright: the victories being achieved against the Iranian regime and their offensive military accomplishments are absolutely miraculous.

This isn’t just good military strategy and courage on the battlefield.

We are witnessing the hand of God shattering the wicked leadership in Iran.

We are seeing the prayers of millions of Christians being answered in supernatural ways.

This was my message on last Thursday night’s episode of THE ROSENBERG REPORT, my prime time weekly broadcast on TBN. 

And the evidence is even stronger today than it was last week. 

SICKENED BY THE MEDIA’S CONSTANT LIES ABOUT THIS WAR

We dare not let up or become complacent.

The fight is not over.

We all need to stay focused.

Stop listening to the mainstream media.

Stop tracking social media.

Most of what you’re being told is lies. 

Lynn and I got back home to Israel two weeks ago from meetings in the States.

Like millions of Israelis, we’ve spent a lot of time in our bomb shelter.

But we’ve been sickened by the reporting of this war in the media.

If we didn’t know better, we’d think the U.S. and Israel were losing this thing and that President Trump was about to give up and throw in the towel.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

CONSIDER THESE CRAZY HEADLINES 

I want to explain to you why we’re heading for an epic victory – and what the critics in the media and the so-called foreign policy “experts” are completely missing about Operation Epic Fury.

But first, consider these crazy headlines.

• Foreign Affairs magazine published this story, “How America’s War on Iran Backfired.”

• Foreign Policy magazine just published a story headlined, “What Trump May Do if He Loses in Iran.”

• The Economist recently published a story called, “War in Iran is making Donald Trump weaker—and angrier.”

• Now The Economist has published a cover story headlined, “ADVANTAGE IRAN.”

• CNN broadcast a panel asking, “Is Trump losing control of the Iran war?”

• The BBC did a segment asking, “Has President Trump lost control of the war in Iran?”

• MSNOW – what used to be MSNBC – just did this story, “An air power expert explains why Iran is more powerful now than before the war.” The first sentence: “President Donald Trump’s war with Iran is not going well.”

This is insane. 

None of it – absolutely none of it – is true.

It’s all fake news.

And it’s all being pumped out by journalists and so-called “experts” who seem to want the U.S. and Israel to lose, who are cheering for us to lose.

In their blinded eyes and cynical hearts literally cannot or choose not to see the truth. 

SHOCK: AN AL JAZEERA CONTRIBUTOR GETS IT RIGHT

Allow me to walk you through the facts.

But first, consider this headline from the biggest source of anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, and anti-Christian propaganda in the entire Middle East: Al Jazeera.

 “The US-Israeli strategy against Iran is working. Here is why.” 

It’s a column written by Muhanad Seloom, an Assistant Professor of International Politics and Security at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies.

“Two weeks into Operation Epic Fury, the dominant narrative has settled into a comfortable groove: The United States and Israel stumbled into a war without a plan,” he writes. 

“Iran is retaliating across the region. Oil prices are surging, and the world is facing another Middle Eastern quagmire. US senators have called it a blunder. Cable news has tallied the crises.”

“Commentators have warned of a long war. The chorus is loud and, in some respects, understandable. War is ugly, and this one has imposed real costs on millions of people across the Middle East, including the city I live in.”

“But,” Seloom notes, “this narrative is wrong.”

“I have worked for the US Department of State and advised defence and intelligence agencies in multiple countries. I have no interest in cheerleading for war.”

But, he concludes, what President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have set out to achieve is not only working – it’s working better than every critic, cynic, and skeptic could possibly imagine.

“Iran’s supreme leader is dead, his successor is reportedly wounded, and every principal instrument of Iranian power projection – missiles, nuclear infrastructure, air defences, the navy, proxy command networks – has been degraded beyond near-term recovery,” Seloom writes. 

“The campaign’s execution has been imperfect, its public communication poor and its post-conflict planning incomplete. War is never clean. But the strategy – the actual strategy, measured in degraded capabilities rather than cable news cycles – is working.” 

To be clear, I have never written this sentence in my life, but I have to now: For once, an Al Jazeera commentator has actually gotten it right.

HERE ARE THE FACTS THAT EVERY EVANGELICAL NEEDS TO KNOW 

The very fact that Al Jazeera published such an accurate  assessment strongly suggests the winds really are shifting dramatically in the Middle East.

Let me explain. 

On Saturday morning, Feb. 28 – in the most dramatic and massive joint U.S.-Israeli military operation in history – more than 40 top Iranian leaders were assassinated in the first 40 seconds of the operation.

And the U.S. and Israel have continued assassinating Iran’s most powerful and most wicked ever since.

So far, the list of Iranian officials eliminated includes:

• The Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei

• Ali Larijani, the 2nd most powerful man in the country, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council

• Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the 3rd most powerful man in Iran

• Commander of the Basij unit, the IRGC’ internal security paramilitary militia, the 4th most powerful man in Iran

• Iran’s Defense Minister 

• Iran’s Deputy Defense Minister

• Iran’s Intelligence Minister

• Iran’s Deputy Intelligence Minister

• Iran’s Deputy head of Military Intelligence 

• The Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces

• Secretary of Iran’s Defense Council

• The Supreme Leader’s personal Chief of Staff

• Several senior advisers to the Supreme Leader

• Commander of all Iranian police forces

• Most of the commanders of the IRGC’s terrorist operation in Lebanon known as the Quds Force

Just yesterday, Iran’s general in charge of all naval operations was eliminated. 

And more wicked leaders are being eliminated every day.

That fact alone is astonishing.

But that’s just the beginning.

OPERATION EPIC FURY: BY THE NUMBERS

 As of last Thursday, the U.S. alone had conducted more than 8,000 air strikes against Iranian targets.

Israel had done even more, attacking more than 8,500 targets in Iran, and more than 1,100 strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

Together, the U.S. and Israel have destroyed 85% of Iran’s air defense system, including all of the Russian-built S-300 surface-to-air missile systems and 92% of their advanced mobile anti-aircraft missiles.

They have also destroyed most of Iran’s air force.

This has given the U.S. and Israel not just “air superiority” but “air supremacy” over the skies of Iran – they are now able to strike anywhere and hit anything without almost any fear of retaliation.

The U.S. has destroyed the entire Iranian navy, more than 130 ships, including 44 mine-laying vessels, which Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM, called “the largest elimination of a navy over a three-week period since World War II.”

With all that accomplished, the U.S. has destroyed nearly all of Iran’s remaining nuclear weapons and nuclear research centers.

This has included bombing all over again the nuclear sites – such as the highly-sophisticated uranium enrichment facility at Natanz – that were bombed and severely damaged during the “12 Day War” last June, but that U.S. and Israeli intelligence analysts felt weren’t sufficiently destroyed, or where they detected significant Iranian efforts to rebuild the sites and reconstitute their nuclear weapons program.

SYSTEMICALLY CRUSHING IRAN’S BALLISTIC MISSILE & SUICIDE DRONE THREAT

At the same time, the U.S. and Israel have also destroyed thousands of Iranian ballistic missiles. 

According to the Alma Research & Educational Center, an Israeli think tank run by former IDF intelligence officials, “On the eve of the outbreak of the ‘12 Day War’ in June 2025, the Iranian ballistic missile arsenal was estimated to stand at approximately 3,000 missiles. Following that campaign, the inventory was reduced to about 1,500 missiles, but Iran began an accelerated rehabilitation effort with a strategic goal of reaching 8,000 missiles by 2027, according to intelligence assessments in Israel.”

By February 2026, “Iran managed to rebuild its inventory to about 2,500 missiles, amid an ever-increasing production rate….As of mid-March 2026, coalition forces have destroyed over 700 ballistic missiles in their storage facilities prior to launch.”

The U.S. and Israel – and mostly Israel – have destroyed about 300 Iranian missile launchers.

Together, they believe they have destroyed about 90% of Iran’s missile launch capabilities.

On the first day of fighting, Iran fired 438 ballistic missiles but in recent days, they’ve been firing only about 20 to 30 per day.

What’s more, the U.S. and Israel have destroyed all of Iran’s missile production factories, including 1,500 ballistic missiles that were in varying stages of production.

At the same time, the U.S. and Israel have destroyed thousands of Iranian suicide drones and most of their drone factories.

U.S. intelligence says Iranian drone attacks are down 83%.

Think about that.

On the first day of fighting, Iran fired 345 drones at U.S., Israeli, and Arab targets – on Day 2, they fired 498 – but over the past week they have only been firing a few dozen per day.

And last Saturday, the IDF killed the commander of the IRGC’s Drone Unit, responsible for all drone operations, further complicating their entire command and control capacity.

Meanwhile, the U.S. and Israel have killed “over 6,000 Revolutionary Guard operatives…since the start of the campaign, alongside about 15,000 wounded who lost their combat fitness,” according to the Alma Center.

MIRACULOUSLY SUCCEEDING ON DEFENSE AS WELL AS OFFENSE

It’s not just what the U.S. and Israel are achieving on offense.

It’s what they’re achieving on defense.

Iran has fired more than 370 ballistic missiles and 550 drones at Israel since February 28th – yet the IDF has racked up a 92% interception rate.

Iran has fired even more missiles and drones at American forces and bases in the region and at our Gulf Arab allies.

Yet they, too, have shot down between 90% and 96% of them – and the number of Iranian attacks have plummeted by more than 80% since the start of the conflict.

 THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU — BUT THE TRUTH IS WE ARE SEEING MIRACLES TAKE PLACE

These are not just breathtaking military accomplishments in just the first four weeks of fighting.

They’re absolutely miraculous.

The Iranian regime and their offensive capabilities are being systematically shattered.

Has it been painful? 

Yes.

Messy?

Of course.

Error free?

Of course not.

But the “mainstream media” and the “experts” are dead wrong.

They’re telling you that the U.S. and Israel are losing and that Iran is gaining strength and brilliantly playing rope-a-dope, about the punch back with devastating force.

But they’re lying.

Are there are real challenges ahead?

Absolutely.

Do we need to keep praying without ceasing for a decisive and dramatic victory.

Absolutely.

But the simple and encouraging truth is that is.

If we stay the course, the American and Israeli people are heading for an epic victory and a dramatically different Middle East.
