Ships Begin Transiting Strait of Hormuz After US-Iran Interim Deal

Major shipowners have begun moving vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for the first time in 110 days, following a US-Iran interim agreement to end their war, though 80 mines still block the central route with full reopening weeks away. The Strait of Hormuz — carrying a fifth of the world's crude oil — sits at the epicentre of end-times geopolitics, where control over Middle East energy flows has long been tied to the rise and fall of global powers prophesied to converge in the region. Scripture warns of wars, economic upheaval, and nation rising against nation as signs preceding Christ's return, and the fragile reopening of this critical chokepoint underscores how quickly the global economy can be brought to its knees.
