(30 March 2026) It is now 10 pm MST March 30, or, 5 AM GMT, March 31.
We are watching both the actions of the Iranian and American militaries, as well as the deterioration of the world economy while the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
As of now, the Strait of Hormuz continues to be blocked. It has been blocked for 30 days. About 480 to 600 million barrels of oil have been removed from global oil supplies by Iran’s closing of the Strait of Hormuz.
The idea of the Second Signpost having started March 2 is still in play. And it will remain in play until the regime is completely disbanded, or until the Ram runs out across the Middle East.
What Might Happen —Three Threads
The first is the continuing war. It is likely the US will go ahead and invade Kharg Island.
The second is the deteriorating economy around the world. As long as the Strait of Hormuz is closed, or if the entire oil infrastructure around the Gulf is taken offline, the global economy will continue to deteriorate in terms of food shortages, fuel shortages, and hyperinflation of certain currencies, most notable the US dollar.
Keep in mind, the last of the tankers from the Strait of Hormuz will reach the US on or about April 15. After that, the US will have supply chain difficulties and fuel shortages.
The third is the famine that is coming over this coming winter 2026-27. If intense global famine strikes, that will be the release of the third horseman.
Faster or Slower
As long as the Strait of Hormuz stays closed, our world is headed to a full-on session with the second horseman and his taking away the peace of mind of the world.
What will change the pace of whether the decline is faster or slower, is whether or not the US military does anymore to agitate the IRGC. If the US invades Kharg Island it will be faster because the IRGC will likely take out the Gulf oil infrastructure as it has threatened. (This excellent video lays out all the dead-ends the US military is facing.) If they do not invade, then the decline will be slower as the IRGC could just let the world bleed.
Conclusion
The mainstay of the Second Signpost, the invasion by the IRGC/Basij of the Middle East Muslim nations, would take place after the US can no longer project power, but before the famine of the Third Signpost. Therefore, if the IRGC is to take over the Middle East it will be this summer to autumn, and possibly as early as spring, if Kharg Island is invaded.
Keep watching.

THE FOUR SIGNPOSTS 
According to this story: https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/trump-iran-war-strait-of-hormuz-ee950ad4 Trump is thinking of “asking” the GCCs to “take the lead” in opening the strait – which seems like the off-ramp mentioned in the video above. If that is Trump’s exit strategy, it could lead to Iran running out to fight its neighbors over access to the strait.
There were many things articulated in the video link that should sound familiar to those paying attention to Biblical prophecy concerning Persia, namely Daniel and Revelation 18-19. I was, frankly, astonished to hear this coming from a secular source. Jeanne Titus
Based on today’s President Trump’s TS post, in which he has proposed the US walking away from the gulf and letting Europe and the middle east fight that blockade, it appears the proposed taking of Kharg island is a misdirection and instead the marines are there to take the uranium. In fact, in his public statements he appears more focused on the nuclear issue than the oil issue. He bluffs, trolls and misdirects all the time.
He has stated repeatedly the US doesn’t need that oil. We need to start seeing the worldwide oil pricing bifurcate.
It would be an amazing thing to see the US getting involved so heavily in the middle east just long enough to completely upset things as to set the Shia against Sunni in a real war, fitting in with the prophecies. Perhaps this plays into the 25% of the world concept that you have noted, where the middle east, and maybe Europe, are trashed while the US pulls back, including possibly just supporting Israel (except for his proposed dividing of it lol).
It just doesn’t feel like an Islamic anti-Christ would have enough power to dominate the US in the next 5-7 years. In some ways the US economy is fragile but also not fragile.
Stu,
I have several reasons to believe that the Americas are going be out of the limelight after the Second Signpost. The US itself will slip into grinding poverty. The Antichrist on the other hand will only conquer the Muslim Realm, Europe and Africa. There will be NO one world government nor one world religion. His mark will be limited to his kingdom. His hands will be full enough opposing China, conquering and consolidating the lands he does get, and then of course halfway through his rule he will deal exclusively with Israel.
So, you are right, the AC will not have the power to dominate the US the way it is right now. But in a few years not only with the US be reduced in power considerably, but the AC won’t even bother with us.
