US Lifts Iran Blockade as Supreme Leader Backs Direct Talks With America

The United States has lifted its naval blockade of Iran, reopening the Strait of Hormuz to oil tankers, after Trump and Vance signed an initial agreement with Tehran that includes informal understandings over Iran's uranium stockpiles. Israel has openly criticised the deal, prompting a sharp rebuke from Vice President Vance, who warned Israeli officials that Trump is currently their only sympathetic ally among world leaders. Iran — identified in Scripture as ancient Persia and widely connected to the Gog-Magog coalition of Ezekiel 38 — entering a diplomatic détente with the West while Israel is simultaneously isolated raises significant prophetic concern, as the Bible describes Israel standing alone when a great northern alliance moves against her.
