The IDF has denied reports from Saudi outlet Al-Arabiya that IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir was forced to apologize to CENTCOM after Israeli Defense Minister Katz publicly revealed that US Air Force jets conducted strikes on Iran from Israeli bases. The incident exposes the deepening operational military alliance between the United States and Israel against Iran, a coalition of nations increasingly central to end-times geopolitics centred on the Middle East. Scripture repeatedly identifies the region surrounding Israel as the focal point of the final great conflicts, with alliances and power plays among nations prefiguring the alignments described in prophetic texts.
