A US-Iran memorandum of understanding has ended direct warfare, lifting a naval blockade and establishing a $300bn reconstruction fund, while Iran's proxy network — Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias — shifts toward a leaner, more decentralised model. The survival and adaptation of this anti-Israel coalition is deeply significant prophetically, as Scripture foretells a northern and eastern alliance pressing against Israel in the last days. Ezekiel 38 describes a coalition including Persia (modern Iran) mounting a great assault against Israel, and the ongoing restructuring of Iran's regional power suggests that alliance is not collapsing — it is evolving.
