Iran's Nuclear Program an "Extreme Danger"

Could a preemptive strike by Israel be on the horizon?

I’m so grateful for all of you who prayed for me last week as I traveled to Washington, D.C. It was a heavy, troubling experience, but there’s no doubt I felt the impact of your prayers. Thank you.

Traveling is always hard on our immune systems, and I think the combination of the experience and the environment made my immune system vulnerable. On Saturday I started feeling bad. This persisted through Sunday and so on Monday I went to my doctor. I tested positive for the flu. I’m on medication now and hopefully on the upswing.

It’s important to me to get better by Friday night, where I’ll be speaking at the XO Marriage Conference in Grapevine. It’s a major event for our ministry and I need to do my best to recover.

So that’s why I didn’t record a Tipping Point Show this week. I just didn’t feel up to going in studio and thought I had better rest.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t write—and there’s definitely something I want to make sure you know about this week. So today you get a bonus written article from me. We’ll get back on track with video content next week and will likely discuss this in more detail.

Here’s the message I want subscribers to know about this week.

Iran: “Closer Than Ever” to a Nuclear Weapon

A new report came out yesterday that Iran is very, very close to nuclear capability. The Institute for Science and International Security upgraded Iran’s current threat level to “Extreme Danger”—the highest of its six categories of ratings. This is the first time Iran has been placed in that category since the watchdog group began tracking Iran’s nuclear program in the 1990s.
