U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has accused Iran of airlifting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps personnel into Yemen, with the Houthis now blockading Saudi-linked shipping through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait while the U.S. military conducts strikes against Iran for an eleventh consecutive night. This escalating proxy war network — Iran funding and deploying Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iraqi militias simultaneously — mirrors the biblical pattern of a coordinated coalition of nations threatening to destabilize the entire Middle East region. Scripture warns of wars and rumours of wars, and of nations rising against nations in the last days, with the Middle East at the epicentre of end-times conflict.
