The United States has carried out nine consecutive nights of military strikes against Iran, targeting military installations and communications infrastructure, following the deaths of three American servicemen in Iranian-linked attacks in Iraq and Jordan. This sustained military campaign between a Western superpower and Iran — with drone interceptions over Kuwait, tanker fires in the Strait of Hormuz, and counter-strikes in Syria and Jordan — marks a dramatic escalation of conflict across the prophetically significant Middle East region. Scripture warns of wars and rumours of wars, nation rising against nation, and intense end-times conflict centred on the broader Mesopotamian and Persian world (Matthew 24:6-7; Daniel 8:20; Ezekiel 38:5).
