Senior Iran official warns that war could expand and asks opponents to 'turn back from this path'

Iran (identified with Persia in Gog/Magog prophecies) is explicitly named as part of the coalition that invades Israel in the latter years. This Iranian warning about expanding warfare aligns thematically with Ezekiel 38-39's description of Persia joining Gog's invasion force, though the headline does not directly confirm the invasion itself—only regional military escalation involving a key prophesied nation.
