Iranian Revolutionary Guards have shot dead as many as 1,000 protesters amid what is being described as the deadliest political unrest since the Islamic Revolution 40 years ago.1
Amir Tsarfati, who heads up a ministry called Behold Israel, reported in Monday’s Middle East Update on YouTube2 that “riots and uprising there are as bad, if not worse, than when the Shah’s regime was toppled in 1979”.
In one town alone up to 100 low-paid or unemployed youths were surrounded by police and summarily executed. But he acknowledged that most of the world’s media were not talking about it and there was no response from the United Nations.
Pray for Iran
A Jewish believer in Jesus, Amir said: “Hundreds of young Iranians have been shot to death and nobody is saying anything. In addition, some 2,000 have been injured and 7,000 detained. They are all fed up with their own regimes – not Israel or America.”
Yet the UN would make a fuss if just one Palestinian was killed, he suggested, asking: “Is the blood of these young Iranians cheaper?”
At the same time Iran is reported to be about to launch a strike on Israel – “trying to divert attention from its internal problems,” Amir ventured.
Reporting from his home in Galilee, he said Iran was also stirring up trouble in neighbouring Iraq, where tribal wars are raging, and Lebanon, where its terrorist proxy Hezbollah is attacking protestors. He also revealed that European countries are trying to bypass American sanctions against Iran by finding new ways of doing business with the rogue regime.
Amid these shocking reports, meanwhile, comes news of a thriving underground church in Iran numbering up to a million believers prepared to risk their lives for Jesus and praying for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray for Iran.
