US Strikes Iran for Third Night as Strait of Hormuz Crisis Deepens

American forces carried out a third consecutive night of strikes against Iranian military sites as Iranian cruise missiles struck two Emirati tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, killing one crew member, with Jordan and Bahrain also reporting attacks. The escalating conflict between the US and Iran draws the Middle East closer to the widespread regional war long anticipated in biblical prophecy, with the Strait of Hormuz — a chokepoint for global oil supply — now a flashpoint threatening to draw multiple nations into open conflict. Scripture repeatedly warns of wars and rumours of wars centred on the nations surrounding Israel in the last days, with Persia (modern Iran) explicitly named among the forces aligned against Israel in Ezekiel 38.
