Iran (Persia) asserting control over strategic maritime passages aligns with the Gog/Magog coalition prophecy (Ezekiel 38-39), which names Persia as a key member of the end-times invasion force against Israel. Iran's growing geopolitical assertiveness and strategic positioning in the Middle East reflects the kind of regional power consolidation described in the prophecy, particularly as Persia/Iran moves to leverage critical chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz.
