Only after my release from Iran’s notorious Evin prison in 2009 did I begin to learn about the extent of the wide, grassroots support I and my friend received from around the world. At one point, one senior prison official angrily let me know about the huge number of letters of support that were sent to us in prison, though we never were given access to any of them. The number must have been vast in that it’s believed that the widespread pressure on the Islamic regime was at

As I celebrate with my fellow Iranians the elimination of so many leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) and other extremist leaders, I am deeply concerned about the future of Iran and the deception and infiltration of the so called “reformists.” The world must understand that “reformists” exist solely to deceive Iranians and the world that there are “moderates” under, and to prop up, the Islamic Republic. But they are allowed to exist

It’s begun. The downfall of the Islamic Republic, the evil regime that hijacked the country of my birth 47 years ago and, as a result of which unimaginable suffering has been inflicted. For people like me, born in Iran and who experienced so much suffering first-hand , the end of the regime cannot come soon enough.   Recently, a friend reminded me of a vision God gave me while I was still in Iran, before I was arrested and sentenced to death for becoming a Christian . God tol

A few days ago, I received a message from a friend, a long-time European intercessory leader with more than 30 years of experience working and praying for world leaders. He shared a prophetic dream he had about Iran. With the war against the Islamic Republic this was very timely but also personal.   “Good morning, Marzi. I hardly have what I would consider prophetic dreams but last night I woke up in the middle of a dream and was awake for the next three hours. My way of proc

While we celebrate the International Women day on March 8 th, we must remember the many brave Iranian women who have endured decades of hardships under the harsh rules of Islam, imposed on them by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Today we are seeing the fruits of their struggles and suffering, praying that by the time you read this the Islamic Republic will have fallen. But the job is not done, and their suffering has not ended.   Under Islamic rules, Iranian women have been su

The United States, Israel, and Qatar have now attacked the Islamic Republic of Iran along with several other countries providing defensive coordination. News across the US has been about the success of the military operation, congressional approval or lack thereof, the cost of the war in gross numbers and to Americans individually, and whether this war is justified.   As an Iranian-born American who was arrested and sentenced to death by hanging because of my faith in Jesus,

Just a few months after I was born in Iran, the Islamic (Demonic) Revolution took place, hijacking the country of my birth and, today 90 million Iranians, giving birth to the Islamic Republic. Make no mistake, the Islamic Republic was conceived by evil, born in sin, and against the United States to the core of its DNA. Anyone who thinks that a war against the Islamic Republic and the ayatollahs is wrong, does not know the history and does not understand the dangerous threats

Over the past several weeks, I have been contemplating my own life growing up in Iran in the context of the daily reports of protests of the Iranian people, and mass murders by the regime of the people.   While I have suffered a lot in, and because, of the Islamic Republic – the past two months have been among the hardest period in my life. The last week in December, the Iranian people bravely started protesting in hundreds of cities across Iran. I was inspired and hopeful,

There have been recent reports of the U.S. issuing maximal demands on the Islamic Republic of Iran to avoid a threatened military attack, and Islamist states such as Qatar, Turkey, and Oman encouraging the ayatollahs to give President Trump some concessions in order to avoid a war. Reported U.S. demands include a permanent end to nuclear enrichment, limiting the quantity and reach of its ballistic missiles, and cessation of support for its terror proxies including Hamas, Hezb

The elimination of the Islamic Republic cannot come too soon. After 47 years since the Demonic Revolution that brought the ayatollahs to power, and Iranians to their knees, subjugated by the mullah’s extremist Islam, Iranians need to be free.  Iranians will celebrate the fall of the terrorist regime with glee, but to be complete there also needs to be justice for the perpetrators.  What’s needed is an Iranian version of the Nuremberg Trials.   While the ayatollahs seat of pow

Most people refer to the 1979 hijacking of Iran by extremist ayatollahs as the Islamic Revolution. I like to refer to it as the Demonic Revolution. I am praying that Iran’s demons will be exorcised shortly and allow Iran to have a true spiritual revolution.   The history of Islam in Iran is relatively new as compared to its long-time proud Persian history. It was only introduced with a previous Islamic invasion and forcing of Persians to become Moslem, following one of the mo

By Jonathan Feldstein This week, January 16, marks the anniversary of the day in 1979 when Iran’s Shah, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, was forced to flee Iran with his family, including his then teenage son and Crown Prince, Reza Pahlavi. This year, the date will be marked at the height of protests that have been taking place for nearly three weeks, the largest and most widespread protests in Iran against the Islamic Republic. Iranians across Iran and expatriates around the world are

As Iranians have taken over the streets, calls for death of the ayatollahs and the “Supreme Leader” echo alongside calls for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to return.   Ater 47 years, Iranians have had enough of the suffering and are demanding a change. The Islamic Republic has been brutal, destroying Iran and its potential in the world. Those who remember 1979 are having buyers’ remorse. Those whose protests then mistakenly ushered in the ayatollahs and their Islamic extremism re

By Marziyeh Amirizadeh   Unprecedented protests are taking place across Iran, both in terms of the number of people participating, and number of cities in which the protests are taking place. Countless videos have documented Iranians protesting. And it’s growing. The reason is the compounded suffering to which Iranians have been subject under the Islamic republic, and which hopefully are at the breaking point.   The Iranian rial is at lowest point in history. Today, one mill

A few days ago, Khosrow Alikordi, an Iranian human rights lawyer, was found dead in his office in the city of Mashhad. Khosrow represented political prisoners such as Fatemeh Sepehri who was sentence to 17 years prison because of speaking against “supreme leader” Khamenei, supporting Prince Reza Pahlavi, and talking against Hamas.   Khosrow also represented people who were murdered by the regime like Abolfazl Adineh Nezhad, a 17-year-old student who was shot more than 70 time
