Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
US President Donald Trump warned of additional strikes on Iran’s primary oil export hub, Kharg Island, amid the ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran, which has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and impacted global energy markets. Trump stated that much of Kharg Island had been "totally demolished" and called on affected countries to help reopen the blocked shipping lanes. Despite ongoing missile and drone attacks from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, diplomatic efforts to end the conflict have stalled, with Trump indicating the terms for a ceasefire with Tehran are not yet acceptable. The European Union is considering expanding its naval mission to secure the region, while Iran continues to target US and Israeli forces.

Scripture: Ezekiel 38:12-13 (NASB 1977)
"to capture spoil and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and goods, who live at the center of the world.
Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will say to you, 'Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil?'"
Commentary:
When energy chokepoints are threatened, nations quickly talk in terms of “spoil” and “goods,” not just principles. Fuel prices and shipping schedules are the first things ordinary people watch. Pressure on Iran’s export hub and the Strait of Hormuz shows how strategic trade lanes can become weapons. This fits the prophetic pattern of shifting alliances and economic leverage driving conflict around Israel and the surrounding region. These events touch Israel’s covenant land, which God gave to Israel, giving regional turmoil unique prophetic weight.
Prophetic Trend:
Maritime chokepoints and energy assets are becoming leverage points as regional powers harden positions around Israel, increasing international pressure for managed security in key sea lanes.

With the US-Israeli war on Iran in its third week, Trump said US strikes had “totally demolished” much of the island and warned of more, telling NBC News on Saturday, “We may hit it a few more times just for fun.” The comments marked a sharp escalation from Trump, who had previously said the US was targeting only military sites on Kharg, and dealt a blow to diplomatic efforts to end a war that has spread across the Middle East and killed more than 2,000 people, most in Iran and Lebanon. Trump called on countries that have been impacted by the choking off of oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz to join efforts to reopen shipping lanes. The Financial Times reported that European Union foreign ministers would discuss widening of the EU’s regional Aspides...
