This reminds me of an interesting 800 -year-old prophecy called "Yalkut Shimoni." This Breaking Isreali News article states it best:
“Rabbi Yizchok said: ‘The year that Melech HaMoshiach [Messiah the King] will be revealed, all the nations of the world will be provoking each other. The King of Persia (Iran) will provoke the King of Arabia, and the King of Arabia will go to Edom (the West) to take counsel, but the King of Persia will in turn, destroy the entire world. The nations of the world will be outraged and panicked. They will fall on their faces, and they will experience pains like birth pangs. Israel too will be outraged and in a state of panic and ask, where do we go? But say unto them, “My children, do not fear, ‘Higiyah zman geulatchem’ [the time of your redemption has come]. And in the last redemption will be different from the first which was followed by further bondage and pain. After this last redemption, you will not again experience any further pain or subjugation.”
Even though some people are not "religious" or believe in it, there are many ancient texts including secular and religious, that have a lot of prophetic and corroborating information that point towards what the world has been seeing and is seeing today. There is a bit of truth in all if it is sought after. Hopefully, there can be some resolve with unity and peace sooner than later.
