A US-Iran memorandum of understanding signed by President Trump includes a commitment to develop a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, triggering fierce domestic opposition from both Democrats and Republicans over funding concerns. This deal — which lifts sanctions on Iran's fossil fuel industry and opens negotiations on nuclear issues — marks a dramatic geopolitical realignment involving a nation that has long declared itself Israel's sworn enemy, reshaping the Middle East's balance of power. Scripture warns of deceptive peace agreements in the last days, and Daniel 8 and Ezekiel 38 both identify Persia (modern Iran) as a key player in end-times conflict centred on Israel.
