Iran's IRGC Attacks Cargo Ship, UN Pauses Strait of Hormuz Evacuation

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked a Singaporean-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the UN's shipping agency to pause its evacuation plan for the critical waterway. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most strategically vital chokepoints, and Iran's escalating aggression signals growing regional instability centred on the Middle East — a biblical epicentre of end-times conflict. Scripture repeatedly identifies Persia (modern Iran) as a key player in the final coalition against Israel, with Ezekiel 38:5 naming Persia among the nations that will march against the land in the last days.
