Move is to maintain 'maximum pressure' on Tehran, after last month's ease aimed to keep energy prices at bay amid Hormuz chokehold The post US says it won’t renew temporary ease on Iran oil sanctions that expires Sunday appeared first on The Times of Israel.
Iran (Persia) is specifically named as part of the Gog/Magog coalition that invades Israel in the latter years. Economic sanctions and pressure could potentially drive Iran toward the prophesied military alliance with Russia (Rosh/Magog) and other nations against Israel.
The reference to the Hormuz chokehold relates to Middle Eastern waterways and regional tensions. While not directly the Euphrates, this reflects broader geopolitical shifts in the region that could contribute to end-times scenarios involving dried waterways and eastern military movements.
Economic sanctions represent a form of international conflict and geopolitical tension. The 'maximum pressure' campaign against Iran contributes to the broader pattern of 'wars and rumors of wars' and nation-against-nation tensions characteristic of end-times conditions.
