Qatar and UAE Cut Secret Deals With Iran to Protect Key Assets

Iran, under sustained US military pressure, has successfully pressured Qatar and the UAE into separate backroom agreements — fracturing Gulf unity and asserting leverage even as it faces bombardment, after strikes damaged the world's largest gas facility at Ras Laffan. This splintering of alliances in the Middle East mirrors the biblical pattern of nations scrambling for self-preservation as regional power structures destabilise around Israel and the broader end-times realignment of nations. Scripture warns of a time when kingdoms will be divided and nations manoeuvre for survival amid wars and rumours of wars, with the Middle East at the epicentre of prophetic fulfilment.
