Iran & the Bomb "Heard 'Round the World"
The new Khorramshahr‑4 ballistic missile can reach Israel in about 8 minutes.
Within the past two days alone, the news headlines reveal an irreversible path towards war in the Middle East—a war that will forever change the course of human history. Just take a look at the latest RSS feed for yourself:

The Israel and Iran conflict is at an absolute breaking point, and peace is about to be taken from the earth. By successfully controlling United States foreign policy through lobbying groups such as AIPAC, Israel has now forced the deployment of aircraft carriers, hundreds of fighter jets, cargo planes, and a slew of other US military assets to bolster the Zionist state’s defenses. The coming conflict between Israel and Iran is now inevitable, but even with all of their best equipment in place, the West is woefully unprepared for what Iran is about to accomplish on the battlefield. Iran is about to launch the bomb heard ‘round the world.
The War for Independence: Then and Now
There was a time when the US was a loose coalition of colonies fighting for their own identity under the crushing weight of England’s tyranny. By early 1775, it was inevitable that a conflict between England and the colonies would commence. It was only a matter of time. Nine colonies had enacted the Stamp Act of 1765, defending their right to resist taxation from England without representation. The English had already inflicted the Boston Massacre in 1770 in which soldiers were ordered to shoot upon an angry civilian crowd in the city. The Boston Tea Party had also taken place in 1773 as a colonial show of defiance against the British monopoly over tea imports into the colonies. When 4,000 British red coats arrived in 1774, it was the militia outside of Boston called the minutemen who were training, drilling, and acquiring stockpiles of ammunition throughout the winter of 1774-1775. The British General Gage was aware of these hostile activities, and he prepared 700 men to go arrest John Hancock and Sam Adams and then seize this ammo stockpile in Concord. Though it was meant to be a secret mission, the patriot militias had learned of the British plot, and it was Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Dr. Samuel Prescott who rode through the night of April 18, 1775 to warn the patriots that the British were coming. The sun was rising on the morning of April 19, 1775, and about 70 minutemen were waiting and ready to meet the British. To this day, nobody knows who fired the first shot, but the entire bloody war ensued with a single bullet—a bullet that became known as the “shot heard ‘round the world.”
The Battle of Lexington, 19 April 1775 William Barnes Wollen, 1910
Iran is now in the same position where the United States Colonies once were. Since the Iranian Revolution in 1979, the US has imposed numerous economic, trade, scientific and military sanctions against Iran. One of these restrictions has banned aviation companies from selling aircraft and repair parts to Iranian airlines. Even Iranian commercial airplanes have been banned from entering U.S. airspace. Another crushing result of the sanctions has been to restrict the movement and sale of Iran’s number one commodity—oil. By severely hindering Iranian oil flows to the global market, the US has crushed the country’s ability to finance its day-to-day operations, including infrastructure, healthcare, and defense. Iran has been forced to sell barrels of oil to China for next to nothing, and on several occasions, the US has even seized Iranian oil tankers en route to China and other locations like Venezuela. American lawmakers have justified these seizures by pointing to their own policies, stating that the oil is an illicit product connected to Iran’s “shadow fleet” of blackmarket tankers that are operating illegally.5,6 Since this is Iran’s number one commodity, the results have been devastating. These sanctions have also applied to Iran’s trading partners in an attempt to isolate the country, cripple it economically, and then create the necessary conditions of instability in order inflict a regime-change operation, install a pro-Zionist puppet leader, and continue the uninterrupted path toward the Greater Israel agenda. However, like the minutemen militia of 1775, the Iranians also have in their stockpile a unique kind of weapon. In fact, this is a weapon that was foretold by the biblical prophet Zechariah, and it is one that will be remembered as the “bomb heard ‘round the world”, as the consequences will be widespread, devastating, and not soon forgotten.
The Khorramshahr-4: Iran’s Medium-Range Menace
First unveiled on May 25, 2023 and recently deployed on February 5, 2026 throughout Iran’s underground missile cities,7 the Khorramshahr-4 is an advanced medium-range ballistic missile that is able to reach Mach 16 at the height of its trajectory and then travel at Mach 8 as it swoops down to hit its target. What this means is that the missile is capable of reaching Israel in only 8 minutes. It also has “intermediate guidance, reduced radar cross-section, and high resistance to electronic warfare” so that it can “significantly increase its penetration ability.”8 In other words, it is difficult to detect and disrupt through means of radar jamming or cyber warfare. It is a menace for anti-missile defense systems.
What’s worse for both the US and Israel is that Tehran has stated that it could retaliate by launching up to 500 Khorramshahr‑4 ballistic missiles toward Israel in a single round.9 If waves of Iran’s inexpensive drones are also launched in the midst of this type of attack, as witnessed during Iran’s Operation True Promise III, it will be impossible to defend. More specifically, the payload of this missile is said to be between 1,500 to 2,000 kg, making any impact highly devastating. Its ability to carry such a heavy payload also means that it is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.10 This reality is precisely what God warned us about long ago.
There is a particular chapter of the Bible that reads unlike any other—Zechariah Chapter 5. I encourage you to take a moment to read it so that the following analysis will have more context. This chapter begins by telling us that the prophet sees a future vision of a “flying scroll”, which is a “megillah” that is a single scroll like the books of Ruth, Esther, or Song of Solomon. He then proceeds to tell us about the dimensions of this flying projectile. We are told:
And he said to me, “What do you see?” So I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits.” - Zec. 5:2
Many Bible commentaries, preachers, and seminary articles have interpreted this verse to mean that it is specifically speaking of a rectangular shape, in which a piece of paper is unraveled lengthwise in order to be read. There are two interpretations that follow this line of thinking, but they are both incorrect. The reasons will become self-evident. The word for “width” can be interpreted in Hebrew as “breadth”, which can be the measure we know today as circumference. If we use the standard cubit that Zechariah would be familiar with, then we are looking at 18 inches per cubit. Below is an image from my book, Bible Prophecy Secrets, demonstrating what the math looks like when we understand the “flying scroll” to be specifically referring to a modern-day ballistic missile:11
With the circumference now understood to be 15 ft, or 4.57 meters, we can then use the formula C=πD in order to figure out the diameter, which is 1.45 meters. The length itself can be determined to be 30 ft, or 9.14 meters. With these two numbers alone, we can understand one significant detail about Iran’s newly deployed Khorramshahr-4: it fits perfectly within the dimensions provided to us in the Bible, having a diameter of 1.5 meters and a length of 13 meters.12 The diameter is an absolutely perfect match. Perhaps the reason why the length is not a perfect match is because Zechariah saw the missile’s body (the scroll) disconnected from what is called the “ephah” or “basket” in Zechariah 5. This ephah is the warhead, or nuclear payload itself. If we take this viewpoint, then the missile body itself is 9.14 meters, as calculated, and the nuclear warhead itself adds another 3.86 meters of height, for a combined total of 13 meters. Wikipedia seems to confirm this point of view, stating that the warhead adds “about 4 m to the missile's length.”13
This analysis deeply matters because Iran is situated in the ancient territory of “Shinar”, which is where Zechariah 5:11 tells precisely where this “flying scroll” will be launched from. When it is launched, it will initiate a curse—a curse that will overtake the whole world.
This is the modern-day “shot heard ‘round the world.”
What is about to take place between Israel, the US, and Iran is going to trigger a series of events that were foretold by numerous prophets of the Bible, from Zechariah to Joel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and even Jesus himself. It’s time to get ready for what is coming next, and I invite you to dig deeper into this analysis by checking out this video below where Jeff Brannon and I walk you through the prophecy of Zechariah 5 step by step along with much more. We not only cover prophecy, but we also talk about getting emotionally, spiritually, and physically prepared for the coming events of WWIII. Get prepared:
