As US-Iran nuclear negotiations advance, experts warn the Trump administration that Hezbollah — Iran's most powerful terror proxy with decades of American blood on its hands — is embedded as clause one of the memorandum of understanding, signalling Tehran is using diplomacy to protect its forward military arm aimed at Israel. The inclusion of Hezbollah in these talks is prophetically significant: Iran's 'crown jewel' exists primarily as a weapons arsenal pointed at Israel, and any deal that legitimises or preserves its power directly threatens the nation Scripture identifies as central to the end-times narrative. Ezekiel 38 describes a coalition of nations surrounding Israel in the last days, and Iran's persistent drive to encircle and destroy Israel through proxies like Hezbollah aligns with that ancient warning.
