The US military launched fresh strikes against Iran after IRGC forces attacked three commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, while the Trump administration revoked Iran's oil sanctions waiver, placing the entire interim nuclear ceasefire deal in jeopardy. The Strait of Hormuz — through which roughly 20% of the world's oil flows — now sits at a 'Severe' threat level, with escalating US-Iran conflict drawing Israel back into southern Lebanon strikes simultaneously, converging multiple biblical flashpoints at once. Scripture repeatedly identifies the broader Persian and Middle Eastern theatre as central to end-times conflict, and the simultaneous destabilisation of global oil markets, nuclear diplomacy, and regional war aligns with prophetic warnings of 'wars and rumours of wars' and economic disruption preceding the last days.
