Middle East Meltdown As Iran And Its Houthi Proxies Trap Saudi Arabia Between Two Strategic Chokepoints And Threaten The Global Oil Supply

The Middle East is not merely changing—it is melting down before our eyes. Iran, battered but not broken by months of American and Israeli attacks, is now reaching for the most powerful weapon it possesses: the ability to choke the flow of oil upon which the global economy depends. Tehran is squeezing the Strait of Hormuz while its Houthi proxies tighten their grip around the Bab el-Mandeb, placing Saudi Arabia between two strategic chokepoints. This is not random retaliation; it is a calculated economic siege designed to make the entire world pay for Washington’s war. Trump’s war with Iran is actually, ironically and paradoxically, making Tehran stronger.

“All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:8 (KJB)

Saudi Arabia believed its East-West pipeline offered protection by allowing its oil to bypass Hormuz and reach the Red Sea. Then Houthi drones struck that pipeline while Houthi fighters seized Perim Island in the middle of the Bab el-Mandeb. Iran’s message could not be clearer: there may be no safe passage, no protected oil route and no corner of the region beyond its reach. The kingdom that once stood as the undisputed giant of global oil exports is now watching its refineries, pipelines, cities and shipping lanes come under attack as crude prices surge and the danger spreads far beyond the battlefield. Every missile launched in Arabia can eventually explode at an American gas pump, grocery store and household budget. Fun fact, the average price of gas here in America is right now $4.31 for regular and $6.23 for diesel. Is that the Golden Age you were expecting, the Golden Age you voted for? But I digress.

President Trump launched this war promising to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program, prevent Tehran from attacking its neighbors and create the conditions for regime change. Instead, Iran has survived, Saudi Arabia has become a primary target, the Houthis are capturing strategic territory, and two of the world’s most important shipping lanes are being dragged toward paralysis. Washington may possess the larger military, but Iran is attempting to seize the greater leverage by placing its hand around the throat of the world economy. The Abraham Accords promised a new Middle Eastern order built upon peace and prosperity; what is emerging instead is war, scarcity, collapsing alliances and desperate nations searching for someone capable of imposing peace.

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we are watching the MIDDLE EAST MELTDOWN—and the end times furnace is only getting hotter.

• “Jesus. I am now 64 years old and never in all the years I’ve been a Christian was I able to grow in the Lord as much as I have in the last past year. All because of our blessed brother’s work Geoffrey Grider who as the bravery of standing fast forward without fear of claiming the truth of God by the power of his love in Jesus Christ. May God bless you abundantly to the end my dear brother… ROMANS: 8: 36,37,38” Mireille Anderson
• “I met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love. I am convinced that God sent you to share the Good News that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. For that, and for the work you are doing for the Kingdom of God, I say…Thank you and God Bless You.” Sonia Merced
• “I really enjoy the emails and Bible studies! I haven’t found a church and enjoy your services very much! Be blessed brother!” Marcia Mann
• “You and your organization are on the front lines in the Battle For Truth…. current events, end times, and trying to awaken a sleeping Laodicean Church. Thank you brother for fighting for us and all your teaching and insight God bless…” Daniel Cartrette
• I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio.  You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures.  I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to.  I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too.  You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture.  Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
• “Thank you for the work  you are doing brother.  Your page and your testimony were a blessing to me this morning as I came across it for the first time.  Thank you for the reality of your testimony and what God has done for you in introducing you to Jesus our Lord.  God has brought me, in salvation, to Himself as well, through His love and mercy and grace in salvation.  How can we praise Him enough?  How can we not share this good news!?  I pray this day for God’s blessing on your ministry that He may save many souls through the work He has called you to.  Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)” Mark and Melissa
