Summary:
Steve Forbes emphasized that the United States must maintain free passage through the Strait of Hormuz as a non-negotiable priority, describing it as an international waterway that must remain open without tolls or restrictions. He urged doubling down on efforts to topple the Tehran regime, suggesting that proper air power could achieve this without ground troops, though he did not rule out military engagement if necessary. Forbes referenced historical precedents like the Barbary Wars to support enforcing freedom of navigation. He also stated that the time for diplomacy with Iran has passed and praised the Trump administration's decision to license Patriot missiles for Ukraine.

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:
Calls to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, and talk of toppling Tehran by air power, put human strategy front and center. Plans sound confident. Yet the Bible is blunt: counsel does not outrun the Lord. People watching fuel prices and shipping headlines can feel how quickly pressure spreads. This also fits a prophetic pattern Scripture describes—nations hardening into force-based postures as instability and alliances shift. Pray with clear eyes, and don’t treat military leverage as final authority.
Prophetic Trend:
Strategic choke points and regime-change rhetoric signal a widening reliance on coercion as nations realign, a recognizable biblical pattern of escalating pressure among powers.

The Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway, just as the South China Sea is an international waterway. And so we must keep that open. "No tolls, no restrictions, all ships of commerce should have free passage through it unmolested."Forbes said that with proper application of air power, boots on the ground wouldn't be needed, but he woul...
