Iran Moves to Formalize Control Over Strait of Hormuz

Iran is advancing legislation to assert management authority over the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of the world's oil supply passes, brushing aside warnings from the Trump administration and U.S. Treasury. This power struggle over a critical global trade artery signals growing instability in the Middle East energy corridor, with Iran, the U.S., and Oman locked in a standoff that could disrupt the global economy. Scripture foretells a time of global economic upheaval and conflict centred on the nations surrounding Israel, consistent with the prophetic role of Persia (modern Iran) in end-times alignments described in Ezekiel 38.
