## Resource

In this urgent MidEast & Beyond update, Amir Tsarfati and Pastor Barry Stagner break down the growing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz and what it means for NATO, global oil supply, and the future of the Middle East. As Iran escalates tensions and Europe hesitates to act, the fragility of NATO is being exposed in real time while the United States and Israel take the lead. The discussion also covers Hezbollah's expanding conflict, widespread deception in media narratives, and the rapid geopolitical shifts happening across the region. This episode connects today's headlines to biblical prophecy and what may be setting the stage for what comes next.
