Does the prophecy "The Hour will not be established until two great factions fight..." refer to a future conflict between the Western bloc led by America and the Eastern bloc led by Russia, and will all conventional and unconventional weapons be annihilated therein, leading to the destruction of most of the Earth's inhabitants, especially in the Arab region, taking into account that the hadiths about the Mahdi and Jesus (peace be upon him) indicate the use of primitive weapons and a small number of Muslims?

The aforementioned hadith was reported by Bukhari and Muslim, and it mentions the major and minor signs of the Hour. Scholars have interpreted the two great factions that fought each other as the faction of Ali and the faction of Mu'awiyah, may Allah be pleased with them both, and their call was one: Islam. The hadith does not indicate contemporary battles nor does it imply the destruction of the Earth's inhabitants. Other hadiths have been reported concerning the occurrence of wars and the proliferation of killing at the end of time. Some scholars believe that the fighting will be with swords, citing as evidence the hadith about the descent of the Romans and the conquest of Constantinople. This issue is a matter of disagreement among contemporary scholars, and no definitive conclusion can be reached without an explicit religious text.
