IRGC Mines Keep Hormuz Shipping Crippled Despite US-Iran Peace Deal

Japan's largest shipping company warns that IRGC-laid mines across the Strait of Hormuz have confined vessels to dangerously narrow corridors, with traffic volumes still far below pre-conflict levels despite a US-Iran interim peace agreement. The Strait of Hormuz — through which roughly 20% of the world's oil flows — sits at the heart of biblical end-times geography, and its ongoing instability signals the fragility of Middle East peace frameworks that Scripture warns will ultimately fail. Ezekiel 38 and Revelation 18 both foreshadow a time when global trade and the economies of nations are shaken as God draws the world's powers into final confrontation centred on the Middle East.
