The situation with Iran remains quite tense. Donald Trump announced additional sanctions to come:

Trump vows that US sanctions on Iran will be ‘increased substantially’

July 11, 2019

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that U.S. sanctions on Iran will be “increased substantially” in response to the regime last week exceeding the uranium-enrichment limit under the 2015 nuclear deal.

“Iran has long been secretly ‘enriching,’ in total violation of the terrible 150 Billion Dollar deal made by John Kerry and the Obama Administration,” tweeted Trump. “Remember, that deal was to expire in a short number of years. Sanctions will soon be increased, substantially!” https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/133180/trump-vows-that-us-sanctions-on-iran-will-be-increased-substantially/

There have been unintended consequences to the US because of its sanctions in the past, and I expect more in the future.

A while back, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

US Sanctions and Tariffs leading to New World Order?

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said new US sanctions would be a declaration of economic war. Iran, North Korea, China, Europe, and Turkey are also upset about USA sanctions and tariffs. A Turk asserted “Somebody must find a solution and stop the USA.” The BRICS nations see US sanctions and tariffs as helpful to their objectives to trade without the USA. Are “unintended consequences” of USA policies threatening the current Anglo-American world order and leading to a New World Order? What has ‘Lord’ Jacob Rothschild and Russian President Vladimir Putin stated? Does Bible prophecy show that a confederation of Turks, Arabs, and Europeans pose a real threat to the USA and UK? Is the final time of the Gentiles coming? Will it be worse than people imagine? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.

Here is a link to our video: US Sanctions and Tariffs leading to New World Order?

In the case of Iran, the US sanctions have led it and the Europeans to work on coming up with a system to bypass the US dominated SWIFT financial system.

The Iranian sanctions have also moved the EU further away from the US.

Iran appears to be getting more desperate. It was not pleased with British actions stopping one of its tankers in Gibraltar. And today, the UK navy, with ships like its HMS Montrose, reportedly stopped Iran from taking a British tanker:

July 11, 2019

Britain said Thursday that Iranian vessels tried to “impede the passage” of a British oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.

A government statement said three Iranian vessels were involved with the incident, and that they backed off when they received a warning from a British warship.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards denied Britain’s accusation.  A statement carried by the semi-official Fars news agency said Guards patrol boats carried out normal duties and had “no clashes with alien boats, especially English boats.”

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani had warned Wednesday that Britain would face unspecified “consequences” over the seizure last week of an Iranian oil tanker suspected of transporting oil to Syria in violation of sanctions.

Revolutionary Guards Deputy Commander Rear-Admiral Ali Fadavi described the seizure as an act of “stupidity …a trait the American president has in spades and the British to some extent.”

Tensions in the Persian Gulf have escalated between Iran and the United States and its allies since Washington stepped up economic sanctions against Tehran and moved to halt its oil exports as a part of a “maximum pressure” policy to force Iran to end actions deemed to undermine regional security. …

British Defense Minister Penny Mordaunt said the United Kingdom is concerned about Thursday’s disputed incident and urged Iran to “desecalate the situation.” https://www.voanews.com/europe/britain-accuses-iran-trying-block-oil-tanker-gulf

11 July 2019

Iranian boats tried to impede a British oil tanker near the Gulf – before being driven off by a Royal Navy ship, the Ministry of Defence has said.

HMS Montrose, a British frigate shadowing the BP-owned tanker, was forced to move between the three boats and the tanker, a spokesman said.

He described the Iranians’ actions as “contrary to international law”.

Iran had threatened to retaliate for the seizure of one of its own tankers, but denied any attempted seizure.

Boats believed to belong to Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) approached the tanker, British Heritage, and tried to bring it to a halt as it was moving out of the Gulf into the Strait of Hormuz. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-48946051

Iran is not pleased with various USA and UK actions.

It is likely trying to decide what to do next.

The Bible shows that Iran will one day cause great damage to Jerusalem (Isaiah 22) and cause other issues, before it is essentially defeated (Jeremiah 49:34-38).

It may also lash out against the USA and/or the UK.
