BEHIND THE LINES: The decision by Zaidan’s allies to integrate their armed elements into state security forces represents an effort by a pro-Iranian element to consolidate its power.
Iraq (ancient Babylon/Mesopotamia) is a key region in the Gog/Magog coalition prophecy. The headline describes Iranian strategic consolidation of military power in Iraq, which aligns with Persia's (modern Iran) role in the prophesied invasion coalition against Israel. The integration of militias into state security represents the kind of geopolitical realignment that precedes major end-times conflicts involving Persian-led forces.
