(9 November 2026) US President Trump announced today, following a meeting with Qatar’s Prime Minister, that “Iran militarily is effectively over,” and, “We’re just keeping it the status quo.”
For now, it looks like the third option for the Iran War in a post made two days ago, is to keep the status quo. The US keeps up the blockade in the Gulf of Oman, and Iran continues to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed.
It was Qatar and other Arab allies that begged Trump to not attack Iran anymore because Iran has stated it would retaliate and destroy the Arab oil infrastructure of all the Gulf states including that of Qatar.
For now, unless Trump changes his mind, the only attacks that may be initiated would be by Israel or Iran itself.
Both Israeli leaders and Trump are adamant about keeping Iran from having a nuclear bomb. This may be the factor that drives Israel to attack if the US does not.
Conclusion
Is the Iran War over and the Second Signpost is thus not going to happen? I doubt it.
Iran is in an excellent position right now to cause economic chaos throughout the world, just like it wants, by hitting the Arab oil facilities.
The regime may feel it cannot launch its ground invasion just yet since the US has not fully retreated, and so that may be the only thing holding the IRGC back at this time.
This lull in activity, if it sticks for a week or more, would give you an opportunity to continue to prepare in the way the Lord is leading you.
Keep watch.

Mark … it is hard to know what to believe. Yesterday I read an article on my phone that indicated Iran had given the U.S. two days to end the war by lifting the blockade and releasing billions in frozen assets. Wall Street (by its successes) seemed to think that a deal had been struck. The DOW was up over 1,100 points and the price of a barrel of oil dropped by more than $2.00. I don’t think that we are out of the woods yet.
