US Strikes Iran's Larak Island Amid Hormuz Tensions

The United States struck Iran's Larak Island on Sunday, its first attack in weeks, targeting rocket launchers reportedly aimed at mining the Strait of Hormuz; Iran's IRGC confirmed casualties and vowed retaliation. The strike comes seven months into the US-Israel war on Iran, as Washington pairs renewed military force with financial pressure while Tehran insists Hormuz remains blockaded and it is ready for prolonged conflict. This sustained escalation between the US, Israel and Iran over a strategic Middle East chokepoint reflects the kind of documented regional conflict Scripture associates with turmoil surrounding Israel in the end times.
