The Czech Republic, a landlocked nation with no navy, has offered unique passive surveillance capabilities to help protect freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz as Iran faces a US-Israeli coalition determined to halt its nuclear weapons program. The standoff over one of the world's most critical oil corridors — through which 20% of global crude oil transits — reflects the mounting international pressure on Iran and the deepening global alignment around the Israel-Iran conflict. Scripture warns that in the last days nations will align around the Middle East, and Iran's repeated vows to destroy Israel echo the ancient prophecy of Ezekiel 38, which identifies Persia (modern Iran) as a key aggressor in the end-times assault on Israel.
