Trump Says Iran Deal Imminent as Tehran Downplays Agreement Progress

US President Donald Trump has declared a deal to end the Iran war is close, with a memorandum of understanding potentially to be signed in Europe, though Tehran has cautioned that no final decision has been made. Diplomatic maneuvering between the US and Iran over a potential agreement carries profound prophetic weight, as Iran (ancient Persia) is identified in Scripture as a key player in the end-times coalition that moves against Israel. Ezekiel 38 names Persia among the nations that will come against Israel in the latter days, making any regional peace framework — or its collapse — a significant marker on the prophetic timeline.
