...In recent months, we have witnessed profound changes within Iranian church communities. Many who once participated in worship with passion are now wrestling with difficult questions, doubts, and even despair. Some have distanced themselves from the church, others are experiencing spiritual burnout, and many quietly carry the burden of grief and concern for their loved ones in Iran.
A pressing question has emerged in many hearts: “How is it that we are under pressure from the Iranian government, and at the same time, this conflict has brought us no hope or relief?” These questions are real and cannot simply be dismissed.
The church is now entering one of the most difficult and unfamiliar seasons it has ever faced—a season that many have never experienced before. For some, however, this moment echoes earlier times when the church in Iran endured severe pressure. When believers were arrested, gatherings were restricted, and a deep sense of isolation prevailed. During those times, churches could not continue as before, and many believers faced profound spiritual crises.
Today, a similar situation is unfolding on a broader scale. The people of Iran are under pressure from every side, and this pressure directly impacts believers as well. Despair, grief, unanswered questions, and withdrawal from fellowship have become the lived reality for many.
Yet this condition is not merely a sign of weak faith; it can also indicate that faith is entering a deeper stage of testing...
And perhaps, in these very difficult days, a deeper kind of faith is being formed. One that is no longer dependent on circumstances, but is deeply rooted in trust in God.

Give them guns.
Are you hoping we succeed in liberating them?
The Iranian masses are terrified because Trump prematurely told them to go out and rampage.
They did.
The war started later, after ~35,000 citizens were massacred by their own regime.
We gave the regime time to crack down and murder.
Now they are living each day under the threat of mass murder.
Will they wake up to the challenge?
Only if we flood the citizenry with AUTOMATIC weapons.
“””””Trump prematurely told them to go out and rampage.””””””
He told them that? What did he say?
“Are you hoping we succeed in liberating them? “
Like the Christians of Iraq, Libya and Syria have been “liberated” ?
Every Regime-Change war which Israel has insisted on has hurt the Christians of those countries.
After 911, Israel wanted seven Regime changes: “Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”
In every one, Christians in those countries have been the losers.
Your people’s opinion doesn’t matter for my country.
News headlines just prior to the war shows Trump encouraging them to come out en masse and begin agitation. This was too early and they paid a heavy price.
Why do you think nothing is happening on the ground?
The Iranians are terrified that they will have the carpet pulled out from underneath their feet again.
“Your people’s opinion doesn’t matter for my country.”
For Christians, what happens to the Christians in Iraq, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, ... etc, and even Israel, matters.
Yeah, we all know that for judeo-Christians, what happens to Christians in those countries does not matter.
From Trump on Jan 13, 2026:
“Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!... HELP IS ON ITS WAY,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social, “
“Every Regime-Change war which Israel has insisted on has hurt the Christians of those countries.
After 911, Israel wanted seven Regime changes: “Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”
In every one, Christians in those countries have been the losers”
100% correct
Are any in-Country Iranians, not ideologically affiliated with the thugocratic Iranian regime, expressing your view?
That Trump’s Truth-social encouragement in mid-January was ill-timed, or somehow reckless?
Or is your critique a facile one, propagandistic, intended to transfer to Trump the blame the mullahs and the IRGC rightly bear for the recent murders of tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians?
Is this not an example of the logical fallacy: Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc
This is the quote. Nothing in it about a 'rampage'. Iran responded with wide scale murder. True to his word he moved in US forces and killed the top bastards all in one day . Then preceded to systematically destroy its military capabilities. He has refrained from permanently destroying Iran's economy because he wants the people who hate that regime to stay on his side.
.
Outside pressure and encouragement to “rise up” has happened many times in history.
Take for example Warsaw, Poland 1944-45 when the CCCP told the Polish rebels to come out and attack the Nazis. The Red Army is coming! Instead, the Reds held back intentionally so that the Polish Intelligentsia, (mostly already annihilated) would rise up and get slaughtered by the Nazis, which is what happened.
Here, I am only saying that Trump jumped the gun literally by a few weeks. I am not saying he wanted them to die but I AM saying he erred. That is all.
The results are clear to see, no popular overthrow to the present date.
“””””Yeah, we all know that for judeo-Christians, what happens to Christians in those countries does not matter.”””””
You are a nasty little America hating foreigner and your presence here has never seemed very Christian at all, which might be why you used “judeo-Christians” for your religious post attacking America and our President as you represent the Canadian attitude against us.
Say it again.
If a religion commands its followers to kill you, you would be stupid not to notice it. https://tinyurl.com/2ames8xe
Yes, no popular overthrow yet.
Netz is either a bot or just another commie trash toolof the DNC — linking reasonable DJT comments to IRGC actions.
Just like the “both sides do it” or the “fine people” lies.
