President Trump announced that the US-Iran ceasefire has ended while confirming Iran has requested to continue negotiations, signaling a sharp escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran. Iran's persistent hostility toward Israel and its nuclear ambitions place it at the centre of end-times prophecy, as Scripture identifies a coalition of nations — including Persia (modern Iran) — that will rise against Israel in the last days. Ezekiel 38 names Persia explicitly among the forces that will come against the mountains of Israel, making every shift in Iran's geopolitical posture a development of profound prophetic significance.
