Scripture: Proverbs 21:30-31 (NASB 1977)
"There is no wisdom and no understanding
And no counsel against the LORD.
The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
But victory belongs to the LORD."
Commentary:
European leaders are stressing NATO unity and banking on continued U.S. military support while pressing a shared aim of stopping Iran’s nuclear ambitions. That’s real-world power politics, and press conferences like this often signal how much is at stake behind the scenes.

Prophetic Trend:
Western alliances are consolidating around deterrence goals as Middle East nuclear concerns continue to drive coordinated policy and military dependence.
