[Today's Prayer] Iranian Supreme Leader's Adviser: "If the U.S. Attacks Iran Again, the Front Could Expand to the Indian Ocean"

Yahya Rahim Safavi, an adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, warned on the 24th (local time) that if the United States attacks Iran again, the conflict could potentially expand as far as the Indian Ocean.

According to AFP, Adviser Safavi said in a video released that day by Iran's Fars News, "As the conflict has spread from the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea, it is also possible that, in response to another war, the front could expand further to the Indian Ocean or perhaps even beyond."

Recently, the United States and Iran resumed contact on the occasion of the United Nations General Assembly being held in New York. U.S. President Donald Trump said on the 23rd that his eldest son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff had met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the 22nd to discuss current issues.

Iran also conveyed to the United States, through Qatari mediators, its conditions for restoring diplomatic relations, including an end to U.S. hostile actions such as a maritime blockade and economic terrorism, an end to the war on all fronts, the return of frozen and restricted Iranian assets, and guarantees for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz in accordance with an agreement between the Iranian and Omani governments, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the previous day.

"O God, Your way is holy. What god is as great as our God? You are the God who works wonders; You have made Your power known among the peoples. With Your mighty arm You redeemed Your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah." (Psalm 77:13-15)

Lord, we hear the news that Safavi, a military adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader, warned that if the United States attacks Iran again, the front could potentially expand as far as the Indian Ocean.

Please have mercy on the people of Iran who are living amid ongoing conflict caused by Iran's development of nuclear weapons and in fear that a military confrontation could break out again at any time.

Please grant Iran's government and Supreme Leader hearts that can first consider the suffering of the Iranian people, and give them a heart that fears and reveres our great God. As the United States and Iran have recently opened the door to dialogue at the United Nations General Assembly in an effort to end the conflict, may Your hand intervene so that the front does not expand to the Indian Ocean and the conflict may come to an end as soon as possible. May we witness the history of Your holy ways ruling over the nation of Iran.

May the local churches in Iran also cast away all fear and become churches that proclaim Jesus Christ, the Savior, in faith. May the churches in Iran fulfill the Lord's mission to the very end.

For this purpose, may the global Church also stand together in solidarity, engaging in spiritual warfare and praying together, and may a miracle take place as You redeem the people of Iran with the arm of Your salvation! May Iranian souls arise and proclaim Your power among all nations!
