US Strikes Escalate Across Iran as Strait of Hormuz Crisis Deepens

The United States has conducted three waves of strikes hitting over 300 military targets across at least 10 Iranian provinces, while Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz and retaliated against US interests across the Middle East. This escalating conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran — centred on the world's most strategically vital waterway — aligns with biblical warnings of widespread wars and rumours of wars in the region surrounding ancient Persia and the land of Israel in the last days. Scripture speaks of a time when nations will be in anguish and perplexity, with the powers of the heavens being shaken, as the world moves toward the climactic events foretold around Israel (Luke 21:25-26; Ezekiel 38:5).
