Rubio Visits Gulf States After Iran Attacks Kuwait, Bahrain and UAE

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Gulf Arab allies in the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain to discuss an interim US-Iran deal following Iran's direct attacks on these nations during the latest conflict. The realignment of Gulf states against Iran — and their increasing reliance on US security guarantees — mirrors the biblical stage-setting for a final regional confrontation centred on Israel and its neighbours. Scripture repeatedly points to a time when the nations surrounding Israel will be drawn into escalating conflict, with Iran (ancient Persia) identified in Ezekiel 38 as a key aggressor in the last days.
