US and Israel weigh renewed strikes on Iran amid fears of wider war

The Jerusalem Post·19 October 2026

The Jerusalem Post reports that the United States and Israel are weighing renewed strikes on Iran, with a possible American campaign aimed at missile facilities and nuclear infrastructure. Experts warn that even a brief operation could spiral into a prolonged conflict, and some say renewed war may be inevitable. The reporting describes options and warnings rather than a launched attack, but a direct US-Israel confrontation with Iran would mark a major step toward wider regional war, the kind of escalation centred on Israel that Scripture treats as a recurring theme of the last days.
