Former Israeli deputy foreign minister Danny Ayalon has condemned a US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, warning that America is releasing funds to Iran while Tehran sets the geopolitical tone. This shift in US-Iran relations is prophetically significant as it strengthens Iran — a key player in end-times alliances — while potentially isolating Israel ahead of the conflicts foretold in Scripture. The Bible identifies Persia (modern Iran) as a major force in the end-times coalition that will move against Israel, as described in Ezekiel 38:5.
