Iranian forces, including the IRGC, launched missiles and drones at US military targets across Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, and Syria following overnight US strikes inside Iran that killed at least eight people — marking the largest escalation since a June 17 memorandum of understanding. This dramatic widening of conflict across the Middle East reflects the prophesied alignment of nations in the region that Scripture warns will converge in the last days. Daniel 11 and Ezekiel 38 both point to a time of fierce geopolitical upheaval centred on the Middle East, with Iran (Persia) identified among the nations drawn into end-times conflict.
