Israeli Minister: US Fighting Iran Alone Is 'Best For Us' as American Soldiers Die

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich publicly declared that America bearing the full military and financial burden of war against Iran — while Israel sits out — is 'the best situation' for Israel, even as four more US soldiers have been killed in the conflict Israel urged America to start. This realignment of Middle Eastern alliances, with a major world power drawn into an escalating and costly regional war centred on Iran, mirrors the prophetic stage-setting described in Scripture for the last days. The Bible foretells a time of 'wars and rumours of wars' and describes nations surrounding Israel being drawn into catastrophic conflict in the lead-up to Armageddon (Matthew 24:6; Ezekiel 38–39), with Iran — ancient Persia — named among the nations aligned against Israel in that final confrontation.
