Rubio: Khamenei's Son Increasingly Controls Iran as Nuclear Talks Continue

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that Mojtaba Khamenei is taking a growing role in Iranian governance, while Iran retains its drone arsenal and sanctions relief remains tied solely to nuclear agreements. Iran's leadership consolidation and nuclear ambitions place it at the centre of prophetic attention, as Scripture identifies a northern/eastern power alliance threatening Israel in the last days. Daniel 8 and Ezekiel 38 both point to a Persian power — modern-day Iran — as a key antagonist in end-times conflict surrounding Israel.
