Iran Counts Wins and Losses After US-Brokered Ceasefire Ends Gulf War

A US-Iran agreement has effectively ended a conflict in which Iran attacked Gulf neighbours, with both sides claiming victory despite enormous costs and damaged regional relationships. The weakening of Iran's regional alliances and its military exposure mark a significant shift in Middle Eastern power dynamics, directly relevant to biblical prophecy concerning the alignment of nations in the last days. Ezekiel 38 identifies Persia (modern Iran) as a key actor in the end-times coalition that moves against Israel, and Iran's shifting position in the region may reshape how that alliance ultimately forms.
