Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz Again as US-Israel Rift Widens Over Iran Deal

Iran's IRGC Navy declared the Strait of Hormuz closed to all vessels, citing Israel's continued military operations in Lebanon as a violation of the newly signed US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, even as diplomatic delegations from both sides headed to Switzerland for talks. The widening split between Washington and Jerusalem — with Trump pressuring Netanyahu over the terms of the Iran deal — mirrors the biblical pattern of Israel standing increasingly isolated among the nations in the last days. Scripture warns that all nations will ultimately turn against Israel, and the fracturing of America's historically unwavering support for Israel is a sobering signal of that prophesied alignment taking shape.
