US–Iran Tensions Spike Oil Prices as Strait of Hormuz Traffic Collapses

US petrol prices have surpassed $4.00 per gallon as escalating US–Iran conflict chokes oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, with Houthi forces simultaneously declaring a naval blockade of Saudi Arabia. The convergence of war, energy disruption, and economic instability across the Middle East mirrors the precise conditions Scripture describes preceding the final conflict centred on Israel and the surrounding nations. Ezekiel 38 and Revelation 18 both foreshadow a time when Persian-aligned forces and global trade routes will be destabilised in the lead-up to the end-times judgment.
