Iranians Fear U.S.-Iran Deal Will Leave Islamic Regime Intact

As President Trump signals an imminent deal with Iran over its nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz, ordinary Iranians warn that a shallow agreement could entrench the clerical regime while the Iranian people continue to bear the cost of economic collapse and repression. The survival of Iran's Islamic Republic is prophetically significant — Scripture identifies a coalition including Persia (modern Iran) as a key end-times adversary of Israel, and any deal that preserves Tehran's hostile regime keeps that biblical alignment intact. Ezekiel 38:5 names Persia among the nations that will descend against Israel in the last days, and developments that sustain rather than dismantle Iran's anti-Israel posture are a direct marker of that prophetic trajectory.
