Khamenei's Funeral Held as Son Banned Over Assassination Fears

The instability at the apex of Iran's theocratic regime signals a potentially critical shift in the world's most prominent state sponsor of anti-Israel terrorism, with Iran's leadership in disarray during an active conflict. Scripture foretells that the nations surrounding Israel will be brought into chaos in the last days, and Iran — widely identified as part of the Ezekiel 38 coalition — entering a period of internal crisis is a significant prophetic marker.
