How many times have you traveled to Iran since the Revolution ?
I was there not once, but twice.
On the 1st trip, I visited almost every part of the country, a huge one, in fact. Stayed with families, talked to countless people, asked about their opinions.

I read just about every book written in English about the Revolution AND about the Shah's reign before that, plus much on more distant Iranian history.

What about you ?!!

Why would I go to a country that officially doesn't like Christians
...and why would you go there as an Orthodox Christian?

I don't understand the value proposition here

I'm challenging you to not listen to media stereotypes which are ALL programmed to make Americans HATE Iran's current govt.

I was helped by many Christians, in fact, who had no complaint about the govt despite the fact that it was at its height of anti-Western sentiment at the exact I was there.

There aren't really Orthodox there, but there are MANY Armenians, Assyrians, some Catholics and Anglicans. They opened up and told me their thoughts. They weren't enthusiastic about the relatively new govt, but neither were they suffering persecution - AS HAS ALWAYS BEEN BROADCAST by the Western media to rile up Westerners against this govt in order to generate support for an overthrow.

The forces that control the media know Americans very well. Americans will NOT go themselves to find out the situation in a country like Iran, but only get angry if the media cooks up enough lurid stories.

Americans don't QUESTION the controlled media ; only believe it without question, because they have been trained that way since childhood.

There's more to say but I am out of time right now.

Here's a VERY VERY weak summary but because I am busy, have no time today to find really good material to prove how valued Christians ARE in Iran, I'll post it for the moment

By the way, it should have been written "MILLENIA", not "centuries" below

This is the Armenian Vank Cathedral in Isfahan, which I visited.


"Christianity in Iran has deep ancient roots through Armenian and Assyrian communities & historic churches.

Today, many Christians continue to practice their faith despite restrictions, gathering in churches & homes while preserving centuries of cultural, & biblical tradition."

You see, it was like "Marianne", the French Revolution's rebellious alternative to the Queen of Heaven [Mary-anne], that the evil plotters planned to install in Iran

This is the most decent image - usually the depictions of "Marianne" are completely uncovered on the top

Thank God, it won't work

Nota Bene : Freemasons highly involved in this overthrow attempt

Question : is Reza Pahlavi a Freemason himself ? His righthand man is definitely one [shown here]

"Important short documentary explaining the Israeli/US plots for “Iranian regime change” using female Pahlavis [supporters of the so-called prince] as a tool on Iran.

The IRGC intelligence was able to monitor and arrested the agents before they could implement them.

Fully subtitled."

Somebody opined that Iran has to just remain confident and strong, because :

"Trump is not a leader. He only plays one. He is an insecure little man who knows his worth exactly and never openly challenges anyone who knows it, too." 💯💯💯"
