The U.S. will build a “Golden Dome” to guard against missile attacks, President Donald Trump announced Tuesday.
Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.
“In the campaign, I promised the American people I would build a cutting-edge missile-defense shield to protect our homeland from the threat of foreign missile attack,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “That is what we are doing.”
The president said he has “selected an architecture for this state-of-the-art system that will deploy next-generation technologies across the lands, sea, and space, including space-based sensors and interceptors.”
The United States has provided significant funding for Israel’s missile-defense system, known as the Iron Dome, and Trump says the technology that now exists is further advanced from that which the U.S. helped Israel build.
Canada would also like “to have protection,” so Trump said, “as usual, we help Canada the best we can.”
The “Golden Dome” will be capable of intercepting missiles launched from the other side of the world or from outer space, according to the president.
Trump said the total cost of the defense system is estimated to be around $175 billion, noting that the “one big, beautiful bill” that is currently being debated in Congress will include $25 billion for getting construction of the “Golden Dome” underway.
Space Force Gen. Michael Guetlein will lead the project. Trump called Guetlein “one of the most respected people in the world having to do with defense,” adding that the general has an “unmatched background in missile-warning technology and defense procurement.”
“Gen. Guetlein also knows we need to move fast, and nobody’s more qualified for this job,” the president said.
Trump signed an executive order one week after taking office outlining plans to an American equivalent of the “Iron Dome.”
The announcement comes as nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are ongoing. Iran has developed its uranium enrichment activity in recent years, rapidly advancing toward nuclear capabilities, but Trump has repeatedly said Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave brief remarks follow the president’s comments, calling the defense system a “game-changer.”
The “Golden Dome” is a “generational investment in the security of America and Americans,” Hegseth said.
President Ronald Reagan put forth an initiative for such a defense system, but the plans never came to fruition. Now, with modern technology, Hegseth says, Trump is “following through” to “protect the homeland from cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, drones, whether they are conventional or nuclear.”

Father, we ask You to protect America from any and all threats. We pray that this Golden Dome will guard our people from those who wish to threaten and harm us.
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, Thank you for the new Golden Dome Missile Defense System; American equivalent of the Iron Dome. America has always depended Upon YOU, our Sheild and Buckler, with Your outstretched arm, and mighty hands; You are The Lord of Lords, The King of Kings, All Power Is In You. We seek Your Face In Prayer for all our protection, security, interceptions launched against us from our enemies, even outer-space. We Call upon You, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God In Him Will I Trust; America shall not be afraid for the terror by night nor for the arrow that fly by day; nor the pestilence that walk in darkness; nor the destruction that waste at noonday”. We will not fear nor be afraid, nor be dismayed. The Omnipotent, Omnicient, Omnipresent, Lord, God with All Power Is With Us. His Angels have charge over us, to keep us in all His Ways. We Praise The Lord For His Provisions, Resources, Technologies / Equipments / Systems and all development’s created by our God. . .’the earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof, we are His people and the sheep of His parures’. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
DEAR LORD GOD
PLEASE MAKE IT THAT WE NEVER NEED TO USE THE GOLDEN DOME.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Oh praise God !! How we need this type of defense. May The Golden Dome be built quickly and well. We needed this done yesterday. Now Father God has given us a President who prays, knows what to do and does it. It will be a wonderful deterrent to nuclear war. So thankful for the way God is moving to help us to continue to live for Him. Repent, believe and stand up and speak out for righteousness in Jesus’s Name. May God continue to work in our lives.
Thank You Heavenly Father for President Donald Trump protecting the American people and Canada! I pray that everything goes well with our new defense system.
Thank you Lord Jesus for all our blessings!
In your name I always pray. Amen
I am in full support of President Donald John Trump acting in one of his most important roles for America’s NATIONAL SECURITY! He has chosen an expert in building this weapon, and although most of us on this prayer call recognize we are fighting a spiritual battle, the Bible is very clear in the last days we will be in war all around the globe, so my humble belief is that our President is taking his God-given right as our President to protect We the People. That has always been the most important position that American Presidents have, to be CHIEF COMMANDER OVER ALL OUR MILITARY!!
Thank You, Abba Father, for selecting Mr. Trump as Your man to do the job. If he makes a mistake, I am confident, O Father, that you shall correct him. In Your Son’s Name we Pray, Amen and amen. We praise You, Father, God and Holy Spirit for being our Good, Good Father!
We need to recognize that although national defense is important, only YHVH should ultimately be entrusted with our safety – just as Israel has found out. And to be honest, although I know we have many enemies as a nation, I believe the most dangerous enemies we have are internal not external – and the articles today expose some of them.
Mary Beth who in the world are you talking about. You said the enemies within are named in this article?????
Whose side are you on anyway???????? I don’t get you🙄
I clearly said, ‘the articles today’, not this article specifically. Most of our enemies within are ideologies, which are associated with but operate ‘apparently’ apart from the enemies without – islam, marxism, communism, socialism, ecumenism, globalism, humanism, etc. etc. ad nauseum! In reality all of these “isms” are the tools of our greatest enemy – satan. If we don’t recognize our greatest enemy and his tools then no ‘dome’ will grant us safety.
Hallelujah Praise God Almighty for HIS DIVINE PROTECTION.
It is at this point a goal. Guetlein said it would require something as intense as the Manhattan project. Hopefully Trump and Hegseth will not get involved in the details and will leave the developers alone. If you will remember, during his first administration, Trump went through photographs of ships, discarding one after another as ‘ugly’ until he came to one that he liked. He told the head of the Navy that this picture was the type of ship he wanted built. It was a World War II ship. He liked the guns which were bigger. Those type of guns would not be effective today. They are in accurate and have shorter ranges.
Never forget, God is our protector!
Psalm 20:6-9
Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
