[Today's Prayer] In Iran, a live broadcast accidentally mentioned 'Death to Khamenei'... Disciplinary action taken

An Iranian broadcaster was disciplined after airing anti-American and anti-Israeli slogans during a live broadcast to commemorate the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution (the overthrow of the pro-American Pahlavi regime).

According to AFP on the 12th, a reporter from a local broadcaster in Hamoun, southern Iran, repeated anti-American slogans like 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel' during the live broadcast, but suddenly said 'Death to Khamenei'.

Iranian authorities dismissed the head of the reporting department of the controversial broadcaster and disciplined the person in charge of the transmission and the supervisor of the live broadcast. State TV claimed that this was a 'measure to maintain the professionalism and credibility of the media'.

The reporter who said 'Death to Khamenei' apologized, saying it was a 'slip of the tongue' and 'a mistake that could be exploited by anti-revolutionary forces'.

Iran celebrated the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution on the 11th amid threats of US military action, flaunting the regime's resilience.

In Iran, anti-government protests have spread across the country in the run-up to the New Year, protesting against the Islamic regime and the economic crisis. It is estimated that up to 20,000 people have been killed in the crackdown on protesters by Iranian authorities.

And He said, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (Mark 16:15-16)

We hear the news that those involved in the incident were all disciplined for mistakenly criticizing Khamenei during a live broadcast in Iran.

May God overthrow the Islamic dictatorship regime that deprives people of freedom of the press and even basic criticism, even if it's a mistake.

Recently, up to 20,000 people have died in the process of suppressing anti-government protests in Iran, and the Iranian people are now living in fear and suffering due to economic hardship and oppression.

God, please have mercy on the souls of Iran. Please shine your light on the Iranian people. Please save the suffering souls of Iran and set them free through the gospel.

In particular, please hear and act on the prayers of the Iranian church. Please make the stronghold of Islam in Iran collapse through the revival of the Iranian churches, and let the Iranian people be set free through the gospel of Jesus.

Following Jesus' command, may the holy Iranian churches rise up and spread the gospel to all nations around the world.

May the Iranian people awaken through the Iranian churches, and may all nations believe in the gospel of the Lord Jesus and be saved through baptism.
