Iranian Christians Endorse Exiled Crown Prince
Faith Facts
- Christian leaders demand regime change through national solidarity and wise leadership under Reza Pahlavi’s program to end despotism and moral collapse.
- Invoking biblical Cyrus the Great, who freed Jews from Babylon, they pray Iran heralds hope, freedom, and God’s healing as in ancient times.
- Iran ranks 10th worldwide in Christian persecution; converts face illegal status, secret house churches, and arrests on security charges.
Over 200 Iranian Christian leaders have boldly endorsed exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, son of the last Shah, amid deadly nationwide protests against the tyrannical regime.
Declaring themselves inseparable from the Iranian nation at a pivotal moment, they accuse the government of grievous harm.
They say it has suffered a total loss of legitimacy since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
“Today, in order to move beyond despotism, violence, and moral and social collapse, Iran requires national solidarity, responsible leadership, and a transition grounded in wisdom and reason. Accordingly, we declare our support for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and his programme.”
“We believe that our beloved Iran can once again, as in the era of Cyrus the Great, become a herald of hope and freedom for its people and its neighbours. In this spirit, we affirm that the living and true God is able to bring warmth and healing to broken hearts … May God’s peace and healing be upon our nation.”
Let us pray fervently for Iranian believers enduring persecution, standing firm in faith against oppression, and join in proclaiming biblical freedom for all nations.
