The United States has revoked the license authorizing Iranian oil sales following Iran's launch of at least five drones and missiles targeting three ships in the Strait of Hormuz. This escalation tightens the prophetic pressure around Iran — biblically identified with Persia — and its growing aggression in a region central to end-times conflict. Ezekiel 38 identifies Persia (modern Iran) as a key actor in the coalition that moves against Israel in the last days, and these strikes signal Iran's willingness to destabilize the entire global order to advance that agenda.
