As the US and Israel engage Iran militarily, a parallel diplomatic track has emerged involving Turkey. Ezekiel 38:2, says, <em>&ldquo;set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.&rdquo;</em> These regions align with modern-day Turkey. Then in verse 5, &ldquo;Persia,&rdquo; modern Iran, is listed among those aligned in the future coalition. For these nations, historically rivals, to align, something must shift. What we are now seeing with Iran under pressure and Turkey acting as intermediary, raises a serious question:<strong> "Is Iran being positioned, even incrementally, toward the alignment of the Bible&rsquo;s &ldquo;end of days?&rdquo;</strong><br /><br />Currently, a&nbsp;month into the Iran war, one fact keeps cutting through the fog, the targets tell the story: The US and Israel have been targeting military positions. They launched this effort to destroy Iran&rsquo;s ballistic missile arsenal, cripple its naval forces, prevent the Islamic terror nation from having a&nbsp;nuclear weapon, and stop Tehran from arming its&nbsp;proxy groups. A strategic war plan.<br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.jesus-our-blessed-hope.com/uploads/8/7/5/0/87500100/published/4-4-26-iran-turkey-prophecy2.png?1775344466" alt="Picture" style="width:564;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <span class='imgPusher' style='float:right;height:102px'></span><span style='display: table;width:auto;position:relative;float:right;max-width:100%;;clear:right;margin-top:20px;*margin-top:40px'><a><img src="https://www.jesus-our-blessed-hope.com/uploads/8/7/5/0/87500100/published/4-4-26-turky-iran-bible-prophecy.png?1775345722" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; border-width:1px;padding:3px; max-width:100%" alt="Picture" class="galleryImageBorder wsite-image" /></a><span style="display: table-caption; caption-side: bottom; font-size: 90%; margin-top: -10px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: center;" class="wsite-caption"></span></span> <div class="paragraph" style="display:block;"><span>Now the hard truth, Amnesty International and other outlets report that&nbsp;Iran has been targeting its neighbors&nbsp;</span><span>beyond Israeli Jews. An&nbsp;Iranian missile struck near Hebron, in Israel&nbsp;killing three Muslim (aka&nbsp;Palestinian) women wounding others, showing that Iranian strikes are not limited to one population. Their&nbsp;missile attacks hit&nbsp;residential areas, apartment blocks and civilian infrastructure, with dozens injured. Iran has also issued threats against Arab nations, including potential strikes on energy and water infrastructure tied to US presence in the region. Targets like desalination plants and power systems that are lifelines for citizens of nations such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait.</span><br /><span>&nbsp;</span><br /><span>Recent confirmation that the&nbsp;</span>Islamic nation<span> Turkey is serving as a backchannel intermediary between the USA&nbsp;and Iran, relaying messages alongside nations like Egypt and Pakistan. This places Turkey in a strategic lane, one that allows it to influence tone, timing and potential off-ramps. It is not controlling the process, but it is shaping access. In a region where access is power - that matters. Quiet diplomacy often does more than public declarations ever could. Turkey has been laying groundwork for months, even years, to become a central broker (1)&nbsp;in regional conflict.&nbsp;</span><span>Turkey has maintained relationships across competing blocs, NATO on one side, regional powers on the other. That balancing act is not accidental. It reflects a long-term strategy to elevate its influence beyond borders and into outcomes. <strong><font color="#8d2424">When others are locked in conflict, the nation that can speak to both sides becomes indispensable. Turkey understands this,</font></strong> and it has been preparing for exactly this kind of moment.&nbsp;</span><span>What emerges is a&nbsp;</span><span>dominant geopolitical force in the Middle East, even while maintaining open hostility toward Israel, often framed through the Palestinian issue. That tension is not a contradiction, it is leverage. Turkey can oppose Israel publicly while </span><span>Iran, under pressure, may be forced into concessions that reshape its posture in the region.</span></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.jesus-our-blessed-hope.com/uploads/8/7/5/0/87500100/published/1-12-23-turkey-rival-orig.png?1775344643" alt="Picture" style="width:531;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:center;"><strong><font color="#2a2a2a" size="4">A campaign focused on military and strategic targets, as USA &amp; Israel have done&nbsp;even when imperfectly executed, isn&rsquo;t&nbsp;the same as deliberately&nbsp;launching weapons into population centers or threatening regional civilian infrastructure as Iran has been doing.

Human rights groups report thousands of political arrests, coerced &ldquo;confessions,&rdquo; torture spiked in executions tied to political and religious oppression. [1]<br />&nbsp;<br />Now that the US and Israel have struck inside Iran&rsquo;s wicked leadership, some of the USA&rsquo;s loudest pushback comes from Democrat politicians, legacy media and Hollywood celebrities who criticize the use of force... When outrage clusters around political actors rather than human suffering, the story of the Iranian people&rsquo;s suffering is overlooked that&rsquo;s at the center of this tragedy.<br />&nbsp;<br />The ayatollahs&rsquo; hostility to the West has been explicit. For decades staged public rallies and state media have echoed chants of &ldquo;Death to America&rdquo; and &ldquo;Death to Israel&rdquo;&hellip; For many analysts, the military strikes vs the barbaric regime reflect a strategic judgment that deterrence and diplomacy have failed. No, it&rsquo;s been tried and failed. Doing away with evil Islamic terrorist leaders in Iran is a good first step to both national and global security.<br />&nbsp;<br />Christians do not celebrate war; we oppose tyranny while mourning loss. We can pray for the innocent Iranian population who suffer under repression and for those caught in conflict zones. Many Iranians are Christian believers secretly meeting in homes and risking all to follow Christ. Psalm 122:6 urges, &ldquo;Pray for the peace of Jerusalem&rdquo; who is Iran&rsquo;s #1 target.<br />&nbsp;<br />[1] Protesters executed: <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/crime/general/trucks-full-of-bodies-iran-may-have-slaughtered-30-000-protesters-in-48-hour-intense-crackdown/ar-AA1UVvmd" target="_self" style="">Trucks full of bodies: Iran may have slaughtered 30,000 protesters in ...</a><br />1-8-26, MSN -- <strong style="">Iran</strong>&nbsp;Intl estimates 36,500 Iranian protesters have been slaughtered by the regime of the Ayatollah citing documentation and eyewitness accounts.<br />&nbsp;<br /><u><strong>More:</strong></u><br />&bull; Open Doors USA, Iran persecution and prayer update &mdash; <a href="https://www.opendoorsus.org/en-US/stories/whats-happening-in-iran-now-how-you-can-pray/" style="">https://www.opendoorsus.org/en-US/stories/whats-happening-in-iran-now-how-you-can-pray/</a><br />&bull; U.S. State Dept, 2024 Country Report &nbsp;<a href="https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/624521_IRAN-2024-HUMAN-RIGHTS-REPORT.pdf" style="">https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/624521_IRAN-2024-HUMAN-RIGHTS-REPORT.pdf</a><br />&bull; Amnesty Intl, Iran Human Rights Report &mdash; <a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-east-and-north-africa/middle-east/iran/report-iran/" style="">https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-east-and-north-africa/middle-east/iran/report-iran/</a><br />&bull; Death Penalty Information Center, Iran executions 2025 &mdash; <a href="https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/iran-sees-75-increase-in-executions-during-first-four-months-of-2025-over-2024" style="">https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/iran-sees-75-increase-in-executions-during-first-four-months-of-2025-over-2024</a><br />&bull; Iran International, official chants of &ldquo;Death to America&rdquo; &mdash; <a href="https://www.iranintl.com/en/202511042838" style="">https://www.iranintl.com/en/202511042838</a><br />&bull; Variety, celebrities criticize U.S. action &mdash; <a href="https://variety.com/2026/film/news/rosie-odonnell-mark-ruffalo-jack-white-donald-trump-iran-1236675400/" style="">https://variety.com/2026/film/news/rosie-odonnell-mark-ruffalo-jack-white-donald-trump-iran-1236675400/</a><br /><br /><strong style="">*Excerpted full original report from Bill Wilson,</strong> Daily Jot: <a href="https://dailyjot.com/blogs/f/when-criticism-of-the-iran-strike-sounds-like-defense-of-brutalit?blogcategory=The+Daily+Jot" style="">https://dailyjot.com/blogs/f/when-criticism-of-the-iran-strike-sounds-like-defense-of-brutalit?blogcategory=The+Daily+Jot</a></font><br /></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
