US says two naval ships ‘transited’ Strait of Hormuz for mine-clearing
Negotiations are ongoing between US-Iranian delegations in Islamabad, with control of the strait a key sticking point.

The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic waterway near Iran (ancient Persia), which is explicitly named in the Gog/Magog coalition prophecy. Naval tensions and military positioning in this region could be precursors to the prophesied Persian involvement in the end-times invasion of Israel described in Ezekiel 38-39.
US-Iranian tensions and military deployments in the Persian Gulf represent the kind of international conflicts and geopolitical instability described as 'wars and rumors of wars' that characterize the end times. The ongoing negotiations and military posturing reflect the prophesied pattern of nations in conflict.
While this involves naval operations rather than the Euphrates River itself, the geographic proximity and involvement of military forces preparing pathways in the Middle East shows a tangential connection to prophecies about waterways and military movements in the region preparing for end-times conflicts.
