Iran Declares ‘Full-Scale War,’ But Wants Short Ceasefire | CBN NewsWatch - July 21, 2026

Iran’s President declares his country is in a “full-scale war” with the United States, while also offering a plan for a ten-day ceasefire; President Trump orders the Pentagon to kill “many times” the number of Iranians for every US soldier killed; Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu convenes his Security Cabinet in case they should enter the war; Trump dismisses New York City Mayor Mamdani’s threat to arrest Netanyahu if he visits New York, with Trump saying an arrest will never happen, and Israeli’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon says Mamdani should be arrested; Paul Petitte talks about what the Iranian regime is saying as it talks about both war and a ceasefire, a Wall Street Journal report that Iran has moved its nuclear centrifuges to the mountains and underground, what we’ve learned about the two American soldiers who were killed by Iranian strikes, Trump’s statements on Iran and Mamdani, and Lebanon deploying troops to southern Lebanon as Israel pulls out; a look at Finland’s defenses against a possible war: a second city, beneath Helsinki, used for everyday life, but also serving as infrastructure for defense if necessary; and a look at Ruth’s Farm in the Judean Hills, which is restoring hope to trauma survivors, including Israeli soldiers – and with the help of Christian friends and American cowboys.
