Iran Can Survive Months Under US Strait of Hormuz Blockade, Officials Warn

US officials warn that Iran's leadership has grown more radical and confident it can outlast American political will, even under a potential naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's defiant posture and nuclear ambitions place it at the centre of end-times geopolitics, as Scripture identifies a northern and eastern coalition that will threaten Israel in the last days. Ezekiel 38 describes Persia — modern-day Iran — as a key nation in the great end-times assault on Israel, making Iran's hardening resolve a significant prophetic signal.
