Trump Declares No Nation Will Control Strait of Hormuz in Iran Deal

President Trump has stated he will not allow Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz under any nuclear or peace deal, and appeared to threaten Oman with military action during the same press exchange. The Strait of Hormuz sits at the heart of the ancient Persian region and remains a critical flashpoint as global powers position themselves ahead of what many believe will be a climactic Middle East conflict. Scripture repeatedly forewarns of Persia — modern Iran — as a key actor in the end-times coalition described in Ezekiel 38:5, making geopolitical tension over Iranian power projection a significant prophetic marker.
