Trump says Iranian ships to be ‘eliminated’ as US naval blockade begins
Iran describes the siege against its ports as the US president's 'revenge of choice' against the global economy.

Naval blockades and threats of military elimination represent clear 'wars and rumors of wars' - nations rising against nations in international conflict. The Hebrew term מִלְחָמָה (milchamah) encompasses all forms of warfare including naval confrontations and economic warfare through blockades.
A US naval blockade against Iran (biblical Persia) creates military tension involving one of the key nations prophesied to join the Gog/Magog coalition. While not the full invasion described in Ezekiel 38-39, this represents escalating conflict with Persia (פָּרַס) that could be preparatory to the prophesied coalition formation.
While this involves Iranian naval assets rather than the Euphrates River directly, Iran controls significant portions of the Euphrates watershed. Military pressure on Iran could potentially affect regional water infrastructure, though this is a tangential connection to the river's prophesied drying.
