When the Islamic Republic of Iran assumed power in 1979, it embarked on a mission to spread its corrupt version of government far and wide to serve its anti-Western ideology. Sadly, in doing this, the new regime radically affected the lives of the Iranian people for generations to come.
Formerly known as Persia, the nation of Iran is a paradox in the Middle East. The people who live there are mainly pro-Western, yet an anti-democratic system of government controls them. It’s a tale of two Irans — one is an oppressive regime that withholds religious and human freedoms from its citizens. The other is a country occupied mainly by loving, non-violent, hopeful people.
We must draw a line in the sand to separate our views of the Iranian people from that of their leadership. The former is anything but the tyrannical religious extremists they’re often thought to be in the West. They are a proud and ancient culture whose values starkly contradict Islamic values. They’re on the opposite side of their government on almost every issue.
Given Iran’s location in the Middle East, its Muslim majority, and its native language of Farsi, which resembles Arabic, Iranians are often mislabeled as Arabs. “We are not Arabs,” you’ll hear them say. “Islam was forced on us and is not an Iranian religion.” While there is diversity in Iran, most Iranian people are culturally, ethnically, and religiously unique from their neighboring countries.
Another misconception is that people think Iranians hate the West, but this isn’t true either. The hate-filled sentiments toward America are touted by Iran’s government, not its citizens. Iranians envy our democracy and respect our nation’s flag, probably more than some Americans do.
Most Iranians are fed up with Islam. It didn’t bring the promised utopia they expected following the Islamic Revolution more than 40 years ago, and recent events have left them more disillusioned. The regime’s attempts to suppress the voices of its people by restricting internet access, blocking apps, and jamming satellite broadcasts is evidence the government is threatened by what ordinary Iranians think. A government for the people wouldn’t cut them off from accurate reporting and connection with others.
Currently, we’re watching the next generation of Iranians call for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic and demand greater social, religious, and political freedoms. Living in a society with hope and opportunity is something they’ve only heard about and imagined.
Historically, the culture of the Iranian people has always been warm, friendly, and loving. The nation has an ancient heritage of religious tolerance dating back to King Cyrus, the great Persian king who is widely seen as a national symbol of pride in Iran. An open-minded, tolerant leader, he was the first to install freedom of religion and worship more than 2,700 years ago. His legacy is thought to have influenced the U.S. Constitution. Yet, Iran itself has struggled to achieve democracy.
We can never stop standing with the Iranian people in their fight for freedom. They need our support now more than ever before. The Islamic Republic is not backing down anytime soon, and the people are desperate for hope. As the government continues to reveal its true nature, millions of Iranians reject Islam, the only religion they’ve ever known, and become open to accepting Christ.
The landscape of faith in Iran is changing and will directly impact the nation’s future. Please join me in continued prayer and support for the people of Iran.

I know you are a Christian,ex-Muslim,and I agree that the Iranian theocracy is anti-human rights,legally you would get killed for apostasy,blasphemy,adultery.
JESUS said:”“Behold— I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of WOLVES.
Therefore be SHREWD as SNAKES
, and INNOCENT as the DOVES.”
1.Who are the wolves? The Iranian theocracy but ALSO the GLOBALISTS who want to steal Iran’s oil to save the center of the Globalist movement,which is the US.
The US needs to steal the natural resources of Iran,Saudi Arabia, China,Russia,etc because if it does not,soon,due to its unpayable debt of 32 TRILLION dollars,it will collapse.
Remember MOSSADEGH.
2.The Globalists want to impose a totalitarian system on the 195 nations of the world.The wolves.
3.The Globalists control the MEDIA (BBC,NY Times,CNN,The Guardian,etc) that have told us:”750 Iranian
PROTESTERS have been killed by the mollahs” and
“The mollahs have POISONED dozens or hundreds of GIRLS in DOZENS of girl schools in Iran in the last months.”
Be as sly as a FOX,be good but don’t be stupid. I believe some protesters have been killed( 200?,300?who knows) but not that about the girl schools.
4.The Globalists want to install a PUPPET regime in Iran to steal its oil.
The girls schools incidents are FALSE FLAGS: the poisoning was done by the GLOBALISTS,yes,they are like that, to put the blame on the theocracy, and overthrow it,to later install a puppet regime.
Here is more:
1.Remember 1 year and a half ago ISRAEL said IRAN
was……………………….1 MONTH away from creating an ATOMIC bomb.
2.And of course, Iran would use it to attack Israel AS SOON
as it was ready, the Iran government believed in using the bomb to begin an APOCALYPTIC war to usher in the 12th Imam and Jesus second coming to conquer the
world for ISLAM.
3. And the CONSERVATIVE intellectuals in the US were repeating the claim, a claim that had been repeated like 10 TIMES before that,in the course of YEARS,
Iran is weeks away,or a few months away from having an atomic bomb.
REALITY CHECK
1.There are 2 OPPOSING GLOBALIST groups.
2. Israel is a GLOBALIST country, and TAIWAN is also Globalist. Pro-New World Order,Great Reset, just like Japan and South Korea.Allies,better said
SLAVES of Soros,Schwab,Obama,Hillary.
3. However one Globalist group is against them (Soros,Schwab,Obama,Hillary).
4.The IAEA ( International Atomic Energy Agency) is GLOBALIST,they lie and lie.In UKRAINE they knew Zelensky was bombing a
Nuclear Power Plant,the biggest in Europe,and they said nothing.
100% REVERSAL BY THE IAEA ON IRAN MAKING ATOMIC BOMBS
a. Before,it said YES, Iran is making atomic bombs,in two places, FORDO and MARIVAN.
Now they say NO,and the cases have been CLOSED. Why?
b. Because the Globalist puppetmasters know Iran is NOT making a bomb.Those who are against Obama,Hillary,Nuland,Blinken,etc have ORDERED
the IAEA to tell the TRUTH,to PREVENT
a war with Iran that would destroy the world economy.Check out,again by RICHARD MEDHURST,on the IAEA decision:
“Proof That Iran Does Not Have a Nuclear Weapons Program”( 1 min 20 sec )
Now I agree that the Iranian mollahs believe in the coming of the 12th Imam and his conquest of the world.But NOT that they have a plan to launch an atomic bomb as soon as they have one.
1. First of all,they have made PEACE with SAUDI ARABIA.
2. Saudi Arabia also believes in the MAHDI,who will conquer the world for Islam,but its leader wants ECONOMIC development for his country. Now there is economic cooperation between Iran and Saudi Arabia to bring prosperity to Iran.
RUSSIA and CHINA are also allies of Iran.
3.Fact: neither China nor Russia nor Saudi Arabia want Iran to launch an ATOMIC bomb against ISRAEL.They use their influence to halt it. If Iran ever had such a plan,they have said to it:
“Forget that, we will help you bring prosperity to Iran,via commerce,trade,economic agreements,but no nuclear war.”
HYPERSONIC MISSILES by IRAN
1.Israel has the IRON DOME system against missiles but now that Iran has hypersonic missiles, the Iron Dome is USELESS.
Hypersonic missiles are TOO fast to be stopped.
2. If they wanted to,Iran could launch them and DESTROY Israel’s 300 nuclear bombs.
3.Saudi Arabia,Russia and China act as deterrents,they for no reason want any kind of war in the Middle East,it would bring a COLLAPSE of the world economy.
1. About 75% of Iran is 25 and younger.
2. Surveys say 60% or more are EX-Muslims,secretly.
3.However 25% are true believers and SUPPORT the Iranian theocracy. Yet many are open to change as log as Islam is respected,including important mollahs.
4. The Globalist plan is to create SEPARATIST groups in Iran to fracture the country into little countries:a Kurdistan, Baluchistan, even maybe a new TURKIC country ( 25% of Iranians speak Turkic ass their native language).
Multipolarista youtuber ( pro-multipolar world) “PTE geopolitics World Gone Crazy” is HALF-Iranian, and British, born in the UK and expert on the economy.
He has visited Iran and said that the economic sanctions against Iran first destroyed the economy,but due to that,Iran has created its OWN independent industries,
that have made it NOT depend on the West for things. Now that Iran is part of the new economic bloc that is INDEPENDENT of the Globalist financial system ( Mastercard, Visa, SWIFT)
better times are coming. With economic prosperity, Iran can solve the theocracy problem in an ORGANIC manner, with real patriots on both sides,
not with many who are Globalist useful idiots,like many in the Iranian opposition in the West.
The opposition to terrorist mullahs can win if they use more force than what mullahs do. It’s a simple fact.
The mullahs use terror, violence, lies and force to rip off, oppress and conquer people. That’s what islam is.
The same tactics should be used against them in much greater proportions. That’s the only language the savages understand. And history is the undeniable proof and evidence that where force was used against islamic invaders they were defeated. No mercy, no negotiations, just wipe them off.
The opposition can only win if they have good financial support, training, and weapons. They must learn how to fight, and be brutal in taking out any and all islamists.
No amount of reasoning, conversations, protests or compromise will ever get rid of greedy, murderous thugs and thieves in charge of Iran. They mullahs and their followers must given a very heavy dose of their own medicine.
Not really, since the death of Khomeini,though it is in the legal system,death for apostasy,adultery,blaphemy,
in Iran,it is VERY RARE that it is carried out.Even after people have been condemned for it.
Contrast that with SAUDI ARABIA, where EVERY WEEK, people are executed,usually by
DECAPITATION.
There is an old american saying about comments like yours… Nice try.
