Israel raises alert as US weighs renewed strikes on Iran

Israeli officials report that Trump is close to ordering new US strikes on Iran, prompting Israel to raise its alert level amid fears of Iranian retaliation, with embassies advising citizens to consider leaving. This escalating Israel-Iran-US conflict reflects the "wars and rumors of wars" Jesus foretold as birth pains preceding the end times. Middle East tensions of this magnitude also point toward the region's centrality in end-times prophecy surrounding Israel's security.
