Waltz Confronts Iran at UN After Drone Strikes Hit Bahrain and Kuwait

U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz rebuked Iran's UN envoy at an emergency Security Council meeting, presenting photographic evidence of Iranian drone and missile attacks on civilian infrastructure in Bahrain and Kuwait, as Tehran denied targeting civilians amid an escalating cycle of strikes and counter-strikes. The open defiance of international accountability by Iran, combined with its sustained assault on Gulf Arab neighbours, marks a significant escalation in the prophetically significant region surrounding Israel. Scripture identifies Persia — modern-day Iran — as a key nation in the end-times coalition that will rise against Israel (Ezekiel 38:5), and these events signal the deepening regional hostility that precedes that alignment.
