US Strikes Southern Iran After Attacks in Strait of Hormuz

The United States launched military strikes against Iranian air defense systems, coastal surveillance, missile batteries, and drone launch sites in southern Iran following Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. This direct US-Iran military exchange intensifies the regional confrontation surrounding Israel and escalates the Middle East toward the conditions described in end-times prophecy, where Iran (identified by many scholars as ancient Persia) features prominently in a final coalition against Israel. Ezekiel 38 describes Persia among the nations that will rise against Israel in the last days, and these escalating hostilities mark a significant step toward that prophesied alignment.
