📰 What Happened
Iran is set to meet with Britain, France and Germany (E3) in Istanbul on July 21, 2025, amid rising tensions over the collapsed 2015 nuclear deal. Iranian spokesman Esmail Baqaei blamed European powers for failing to offset US sanctions after Trump's 2018 withdrawal. Before the E3 talks, Iran will meet with Russia and China regarding potential UN sanctions reimposition. The E3 powers warn they may trigger the UN 'snapback' mechanism, with Germany emphasizing 'Iran must never be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon.'
📖 Prophetic Significance
The emerging economic alliance between Iran, Russia, and China against the E3 powers directly parallels the prophetic North-South kingdom divide. The failure of the European financial mechanism to protect Iran from sanctions has accelerated the formation of an alternative economic system, fulfilling Daniel 11's prediction of competing power blocs. The UN 'snapback' threat represents a type of global economic control mechanism that could later enable the prophesied restrictions on buying and selling. This three-way split between Europe, US sanctions, and the Iran-Russia-China axis demonstrates how modern financial warfare creates the conditions for end-times economic controls.
