Trump Was 'An Hour Away' From Ordering Strike on Iran Before Pause

US President Donald Trump revealed he was within an hour of ordering a military strike on Iran when multiple Middle Eastern governments intervened, requesting days for diplomatic negotiations. This near-strike moment underscores the razor-thin margin between regional tension and full-scale war in the Middle East, a region Scripture identifies as central to end-times conflict. The volatile standoff between the West and Iran mirrors prophetic warnings of wars and rumours of wars preceding the end of the age (Matthew 24:6), with Iran's alignment against Israel a recurring flashpoint in biblical eschatology.
