August 2025 - Iranian state media has aired a video accusing more than 50 recently arrested Christians of espionage and collaboration with foreign intelligence, portraying them as Mossad operatives involved in “anti-security activities.” The broadcast included footage of gatherings abroad, images of confiscated Bibles and Christian literature, and alleged surveillance of religious materials being brought into the country, alongside coerced confessions about receiving instruction overseas. Critics denounce the program as hate speech that stigmatizes the entire evangelical Christian community, noting that no legal proceedings have confirmed any wrongdoing and that the narrative appears to be a propaganda effort aimed at scapegoating religious minorities amid broader political and institutional challenges.
Please pray for scores of Iranian Christians who are under severe persecution in Iran, of which most are converts from Islam to Christianity.
