Iran Fires Ballistic Missiles at Gulf States After US Strikes 170 Iranian Targets

Iran has launched ballistic missiles and drones at Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Jordan in retaliation after the US struck over 170 Iranian military targets in two days, with a US ceasefire now halted and both sides threatening escalation. The rapid expansion of this conflict across the Middle East — drawing in Gulf Arab states, threatening global shipping lanes, and pushing the region toward prolonged war — aligns with biblical warnings of the last days when nation will rise against nation and the Middle East becomes the epicentre of global crisis. Scripture repeatedly points to the nations surrounding Israel being drawn into catastrophic conflict in the end times, with Persia (modern Iran) specifically named among the forces that come against the region in Ezekiel 38.
