US and Iran Both Claim Control of Strait of Hormuz Amid War

Following renewed US strikes on Iran, both nations are claiming control over the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump declaring the US "GUARDIAN" of the strait and imposing fees, while Iran's Revolutionary Guard asserts its own sovereignty and has mined and attacked shipping routes. This escalating conflict over a critical global oil chokepoint near Israel's region reflects the kind of Middle East turmoil and "wars and rumors of wars" Scripture points to in the last days, disrupting world trade and heightening instability before Christ's return.
