The Iran war is about far more than missiles and military strikes — it's about who controls the world's most critical oil chokepoints. In this prophecy update, Pastor Brandon Holthaus breaks down why the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb could reshape the global economy and how it all connects to what the Bible said would happen.
From Israeli defense briefings to the East-to-West energy corridor, from Houthi escalation to Turkey's power play — this is one of the most comprehensive breakdowns of where the Middle East is heading and why it matters prophetically.
