Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched a missile or drone attack on the US special operations command center at al-Tanf, Syria — marking the first reported Iranian strike on Syrian soil since the US-Israeli war on Iran began in late February 2025. This escalation signals a rapidly shifting Middle East where Iran, weakened by Israeli strikes on Hezbollah and the collapse of Assad's Syria, is lashing out at US forces across the region — a volatile convergence of the great powers the Bible associates with the end-times alignment surrounding Israel. Scripture warns of a time when 'wars and rumours of wars' will intensify and the nations will be drawn into conflict centred on the Middle East, consistent with prophetic passages pointing to a final gathering of nations against Israel (Zechariah 12:3, Matthew 24:6–7).
