President Massoud Pezeshkian: 'What we fear most is not foreign enemies, but what comes from within'

An astonishing 1,500 death-row inmates at Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj have launched a hunger strike to protest the rampant execution of fellow prisoners. The protest, which started Oct. 13, spread across units 1 through 4 of Ward 2 of the largest state prison in Iran.

In response, prison director Karimollah Azizi threatened to shut down the cafeteria and kitchen if the strike continued.

The inmates' reaction was defiant: "Go ahead and close them! What shade is darker than black?"

This response encapsulates the hopelessness gripping Iran's prison population, where executions have reached record levels. In September alone, at least 200 prisoners, including six women, were executed, a monthly figure not seen in 36 years. That's roughly one execution every three hours. The number is 2.5 times higher than the same period last year and seven times greater than two years ago.

The more fragile the regime becomes, the more it relies on executions to tighten its grip on power. In mid-October, regime president Massoud Pezeshkian admitted, "What we fear most is not foreign enemies, but what comes from within." His remark betrays deep anxiety over potential popular uprisings.

. . . . .

Seemingly by Iran's own admissions...their days seem numbered.

I'm sorry for the average Iranian. Not their mad mullah overlords or the army that props those evil men up, but the Iranians themselves. I hope and pray that many of them are saved, before and after the Rapture.

Amen. It seems like where government is heavy like that, Christianity spreads. I remember an interview online with an Iranian woman who was married to one of the higher ups. But she became a believer. After spending some time in the USA, she went back because she said for her the West was too distracting. She felt more at home under oppression where Christ really shined in her life.
