Gulf States Urge Trump to Hold Off on Iran Strikes Over Retaliation Fears

Gulf leaders have asked President Trump to delay any military strikes on Iranian energy or military infrastructure, warning that even a limited attack could trigger devastating Iranian retaliation against regional vital infrastructure. This diplomatic pressure highlights the volatile powder keg surrounding Iran — a nation Scripture identifies as a key player in end-times conflict involving Israel and the broader Middle East. The alignment of nations cautiously circling Iran while Israel remains under existential threat echoes the prophetic stage described in Ezekiel 38, where regional powers position themselves ahead of a climactic confrontation.
