IIRC, colors in the Bible are sometimes associated with direction and the color red is associated with lands to the East.

Another interesting prophecy is Daniel's vision of the woman in the basket, and flying scrolls.

Zechariah 5:5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. 6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. 7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. 9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. 10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? 11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

The land of Shinar takes in part of present day Iran. At least one very knowledgeable Bible scholar has tied the "woman" to a translation error that actually means a kind of fire. What kind of fire needs to be shielded by a talent of lead? Also, some believe the cylindrical scrolls represent Daniel's best way of describing what are today's ICBMs.
