Greg Laurie, the pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in California, reacted to the breaking news by elaborating on the context of the situation and calling for prayers in an X post Thursday night.

"This is a very serious matter, and Bible students should be paying close attention," he wrote.

"The regime in Iran has long supported terrorism around the world — especially against Israel. They have been developing a nuclear [weapon] for some time now, and their leaders have repeatedly threatened to use it to 'wipe Israel off the face of the Earth.'"

"We must be in prayer, and we must walk closely with the Lord," Laurie added. "These are perilous times, and we need spiritual discernment, courage, and faith more than ever."
