News That Bakes in the Second Signpost (Day 74)

(13 May 2026) It is now 10 pm MST May 13, or, 4 AM GMT, May 14. As of now, the Strait of Hormuz has been blocked for 74 days.

The idea of the Second Signpost having started March 2 is still in play. And it will remain in play and either be disproved when the regime is completely disbanded, or will be confirmed when the Ram runs out across the Middle East.

News That Bakes in the Second Signpost

A reader pointed out this news story that reports that a CIA analysis shows that the IRGC can go another four months before encountering more economic hardship. Also, Iran still has most (70 percent) of its missile capabilities. Drone levels are unknown since they can be hidden more readily.

Iranian naval suicide drones hidden underground.

Since Iran can continue to hold the Strait of Hormuz hostage by lobbing the occasional missile or drone at an oil tanker, the question becomes, how long can the US maintain its presence outside the Strait of Hormuz.

Every day the Strait remains closed is another day that global oil inventories are depleted, fuel prices go up, there are fuel shortages, and the petrodollar continues to die. How long can the US last outside the Strait? Not to mention there is public opinion and a midterm election coming.

Assuming the US reduces its presence, the invasion stage of the Second Signpost would begin in earnest, as well as the attack on the oil infrastructure.

Just remember, if the Signposts are true, the Persian Ram will achieve its goals per Daniel 8:4.

Conclusion

At this point, it looks like the IRGC can outlast the US military. If this is truly the case, the Second Signpost is “baked in” and now it’s only a matter of time, becoming a “when” and not “if” for the Second Signpost.

All the Iran War has done in the end is –

(1) allow the IRGC to blockade and control the Strait of Hormuz,

(2) erase price caps on oil to allow it to increase greatly in price, and

(3) bake in the Third Signpost’s famine by preventing one-third of the world’s fertilizer from providing one-third of the world’s food to its 8 billion people.

We don’t have much time left to prepare. Don’t put things off.

Keep watch.
