Today, on Sivan 23, 5785, King Achashverosh is going to decide if it pleases him to help the Jews erase yet another design of a Holocaust against them.
Sivan 23 is a very special day in Jewish history. On Sivan 23, sometime in the fifth or fourth century BCE, the first Holocaust was canceled. Here’s the documentation (Esther 8:7-9):
Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, “I have given Haman’s property to Esther, and he has been impaled on the stake for scheming against the Jews. And you may further write with regard to the Jews as you see fit. [Write it] in the king’s name and seal it with the king’s signet, for an edict that has been written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet may not be revoked.”
So the king’s scribes were summoned at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, that is, the month of Sivan; and letters were written, at Mordecai’s dictation, to the Jews and to the satraps, the governors and the officials of the one hundred and twenty-seven provinces from India to Nubia: to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.
Sivan 23 is a day when our evil fortunes can be turned around. This day reveals that Jews possess the power to cause the King of the Universe to declare, just as it is written in the Megillah on this day: “And you may further write with regard to the Jews as you see fit.”
With that in mind, the modern-day King Achashverosh, President Donald ben Fred Trump, “is getting comfortable with the idea of taking out Iran’s nuclear facility, the Fordo Fuel Enrichment Plant,” as a source familiar with the intelligence told ABC News early Thursday morning.
It wouldn’t be a single strike on the facility—it would involve multiple hits, the source said, adding that preparations are now underway.
The Fordo Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP), officially known as the Shahid Ali Mohammadi Nuclear Facility, is an underground uranium enrichment site located 80 meters underground inside a mountain, approximately 20 miles north of the city of Qom, in Iran.
In March 2023, CNN reported that uranium enriched to “near bomb-grade” levels had been detected at the Fordo facility. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed the discovery of uranium enriched to 83.7% purity—just below the 90% typically considered weapons-grade—describing the finding as a significant and unexpected development. By June 2024, the IAEA noted that Iran had installed additional centrifuges at the site, while The Washington Post reported that Iranian authorities had ordered a tripling of Fordo’s centrifuge capacity, further escalating international concerns over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
On June 13, 2025, Israel launched a strike on the Fordo nuclear facility as part of a broader series of attacks on Iranian targets. Due to the deeply buried nature of the Fordo site, the extent of the damage remained uncertain. However, satellite imagery and various reports indicated that while some above-ground infrastructure at both Fordo and Natanz was hit, the fortified underground sections housing centrifuges and enriched uranium appeared to remain intact. On June 14, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran confirmed that the site had sustained only limited damage as a result of the Israeli strikes.
One of the few weapons capable of inflicting serious damage on the Fordo facility and the centrifuges believed to be housed within is the GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator, commonly known as the “bunker buster.” This 20-foot-long, 30,000-pound bomb is engineered to penetrate up to 200 feet of earth or reinforced concrete before detonating, making it uniquely suited for attacking heavily fortified underground sites like those in Iran. The GBU-57 has never been used in combat and was specifically developed for missions targeting deeply buried facilities. Crucially, no military outside the United States—including Israel—has access to this weapon or the only aircraft capable of delivering it: the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, which can carry two of the massive bombs. These aircraft are currently based at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and would require approximately 15 hours to reach Iranian airspace if deployed.
Today, on Sivan 23, 5785, King Achashverosh is going to decide if it pleases him to help the Jews erase yet another design of a Holocaust against them.
Holy cow, we live in Biblical times.
