The unprecedented 99-year American control of this corridor marks the first time a Western power has gained long-term strategic positioning between Russia, China, and Iran in Central Asia. This creates a never-before-seen geopolitical chokepoint that simultaneously impacts three major powers prophetically associated with end-times scenarios, while co-opting a key segment of China's Belt and Road initiative.
US Seizes 99-Year Control of Strategic Zangezur Corridor Near Iran
📰 What Happened
The US has secured a 99-year lease of the strategic Zangezur Corridor running along Armenia and Azerbaijan's borders with Iran through a confidential 'Trump Bridge Transport Corridor' memorandum. American contractors are already deployed in the region, with plans for militarization. This development undermines China's Belt and Road initiative while encircling Iran and expanding US influence in former Soviet territories. Armenian President Pashinyan has aligned with Washington in this dramatic regional shift.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The 99-year American lease of the Zangezur Corridor represents a prophetically significant realignment, as it positions Western military forces directly between the territories of key end-times powers (Russia, Iran, China). This development uniquely fulfills conditions necessary for the Kings of the East prophecies by creating a potential bottleneck along their westward route. The placement of US contractors in this strategic location, combined with the corridor's militarization plans, establishes unprecedented Western control over ancient Persian trade routes mentioned in Daniel's visions. The timing aligns with increasing tensions between these powers as prophesied in Ezekiel 38.
