Iran's Secret Crisis, and an Iranian Scholar's Public Prayer!

Dr Sasan Tavassoli is a leading Iranian Christian Scholar, and a minister in the Presbyterian Church in Iran, as well as a long-time friend of Dr Smith's, who has contacts with thousands of Iranians worldwide and in Iran itself. Because of his expertise on Iran, he was asked by Dr Smith to record a short video concerning his thoughts on the current Iranian crisis with the USA and Israel. Here is Dr Tavassoli's response, which should help dispel so much of the confusion concerning what is actually happening there, and what he wants from us here in the West. According to the latest statistics coming out of Stanford University, between 88% - 90% of Iranians do NOT support the current Iranian regime and believe that they have been "taken hostage" by the Iranian regime. Dr Tavassoli says that the Iranian people want to be "rescued" from 47 years of oppression. In January of this year people came out to protest in 400 towns and cities, and the regime massacred 40,000 Iranian people in only 2 nights. This was the "Red Line" which has finally turned the vast majority of Iranian people against their government. They no longer want to be ruled by the Mullahs, and that is why they want outside forces to come and help them get rid of the IRHG tyrannical regime. He then ends with a prayer for the Christians in Iran. © Pfander Centre for Apologetics & Polemics - US, April 19, 2026 (129,110)
