US sanctions against Iran continue to increase and the Iranian government is being forced to take desperate measures, even going so far as to change their national currency just to stay afloat! Today they deal in rials, but President Hassan Rouhani has moved for a currency change to tomans. One toman is currently equal to ten rials, but under the proposed bill one toman would be equal to ten thousand rials.
This is hardly a solution to the financial crises. As Amir notes, arbitrarily changing currency to one with increased value will only provide an illusion of relief that will likely be short lived, and there's no guarantee that this bill will pass at all. If it does happen to pass, we're still two whole years out from that temporary relief coming.
It's a really bad situation and the Iranian President seems to be in denial about the true reason for this economic downturn. President Trump has made it clear that if the Iranian regime stopped supporting international terror groups and making threats against the US and Israel, the sanctions would be lifted - the very things that the regime is absolutely unwilling to do. Unrest is brewing...
And the financial war of Ezekiel looms ever closer.
Economic earthquake - Iran scrambling due to US sanctions

We know from Isaiah 17:1 that Damascus, Syria will be destroyed in the near future, but we don't know how that will happen; The Bible doesn't give us any details about that event. People have proposed different scenarios which could result in a decimated Damascus, two of which are popular. The first one they postulate is that it will be destroyed by the giant earthquake on the day if the Gog-Magog war (Ezekiel 38:19-20), which is very possible. The second scenario has Israel intercepting an attack coming out of Syria. Judging by Benjamin Netanyahu's words, that possibility will be open as long as he remains the prime minister of Israel.
PM: Israel will not sit idly by as Iran prepares attacks
"Any land that allows its territory to be used for attacks on Israel will be held accountable."
