Trump Halts Iran Attack as Gulf Leaders Push for Nuclear Deal

President Trump ordered U.S. forces to stand down from a planned Tuesday strike on Iran after Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE urged him to allow 'serious negotiations' toward a deal permanently barring Iran from nuclear weapons. Iran's persistent nuclear ambitions and the mounting prospect of a major regional war place this standoff squarely within the biblical framework of end-times conflict centred on the Middle East. Scripture repeatedly identifies Persia — modern Iran — as a key player in the coalition that moves against Israel in the last days, making every escalation and pause in this crisis prophetically significant.
