The United States is expected to widen its military strikes against Iran, with President Trump weighing expanded operations even as Tehran warns of a broader regional response. This escalating confrontation between a major Western power and Iran — a key prophetic nation — mirrors the biblical portrait of end-times conflict centred on the Middle East and nations aligned against Israel. Ezekiel 38 identifies Persia (modern Iran) as a primary actor in a great coalition that moves against Israel in the last days, and mounting U.S.-Iran hostilities bring that alignment into sharper focus.
