US Strikes Iran for 13th Night as Diplomacy Falters and War Drags On

The United States carried out its 13th consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran, while Tehran continued retaliatory attacks on US-linked targets across Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, and Iraq — as ceasefire talks collapsed and Trump grew increasingly frustrated with a war he expected to end quickly. The protracted conflict, drawing in regional powers and straining US political will, mirrors the biblical pattern of mounting Middle East wars that will ultimately converge on the final great conflict centred around Israel. Scripture repeatedly warns of 'wars and rumours of wars' as a defining sign of the last days, with the broader region of ancient Persia — modern Iran — playing a prominent role in end-times prophecy.
