Iran Demands Toll Authority Over Strait of Hormuz as US Talks Resume

Iranian officials are pushing a plan requiring ships to seek Iranian authorization before transiting the Strait of Hormuz, as Trump's envoys head to Doha for renewed nuclear diplomacy. This escalating assertion of control over one of the world's most critical shipping chokepoints — through which roughly 20% of global oil flows — signals Iran's growing boldness in reshaping regional power structures and threatening global economic stability. Scripture repeatedly warns of wars and economic disruption in the last days centered on the Middle East, and Iran's provocative posture aligns with prophetic descriptions of nations rising against Israel and destabilizing the world order before Christ's return.
