Iranian dissidents and opposition sources have expressed shock over a US deal with the Islamic Republic, warning that the regime and its proxies will interpret the agreement as a decisive win against American pressure. Iran's continued pursuit of nuclear capability and regional dominance remains a direct threat to Israel, aligning with biblical prophecy that identifies Persia (modern Iran) as a key aggressor in the last days. Ezekiel 38 names Persia among the nations that will march against Israel in the end-times conflict known as the War of Gog and Magog.
