Pakistan Mediates US-Iran War Talks as Hormuz Blockade Chokes Global Oil

Pakistan's army chief is in Tehran for a second mediation visit as US Secretary of State Rubio reports 'slight progress' in talks to end the US-Israeli war against Iran, while the EU moves to sanction Iranian officials over the illegal closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The convergence of a shooting war involving Israel and the US, a choked global oil artery, frantic great-power diplomacy, and mounting economic chaos maps precisely onto the biblical picture of the last days — wars, instability, and the nations of the world entangled in the Middle East. Scripture warns of 'wars and rumours of wars' and foresaw a time when global commerce would be convulsed as history moves toward its climax around Israel and the surrounding region (Matthew 24:6–7; Revelation 18:17–19).
