US-Iran Ceasefire Collapses After Strait of Hormuz Strikes

The US-Iran ceasefire has effectively broken down after three rounds of US military strikes on over 300 Iranian targets in less than a week, following Iran's attacks on commercial shipping and its declaration that the Strait of Hormuz is closed. This escalating confrontation between America and Iran places the world's most critical oil chokepoint at the centre of a rapidly destabilising Middle East, with direct implications for Israel's security and the broader regional order prophesied in Scripture. The Bible identifies Persia — modern-day Iran — as a key aggressor in the end-times coalition that will move against Israel (Ezekiel 38:5), and the current breakdown of diplomacy marks a significant step toward that prophesied alignment.
