Iran God is at Work in the Midst of Much Suffering and Turmoil

1/23/2026  (Heart4Iran)

Iran is living through a painful and urgent moment. In recent weeks, unrest has intensified across the nation, fueled by deep suffering, economic pressure, and years of unresolved grief. What began in isolated places has spread rapidly, and the cries of the people are growing louder. Reports of violence, arrests, and fear continue to increase, while Internet disruptions and communication restrictions make it difficult for families to know if their loved ones are safe. Many are overwhelmed, traumatized, and exhausted, simply trying to survive another day. It is unclear how many have been killed, but it could be as many as 12,000 or more. Yet, in the midst of darkness, God is moving. Hearts are searching. People are asking hard questions, and many are coming to faith in Jesus.

Please pray…

• Praise God for the hundreds of thousands of Iranians who have come to faith in Jesus in recent years.

• Pray that the Lord will bring healing to the injured and hurting, that many will turn to Jesus at this uncertain time, and that Christians will be led by the Spirit to share their hope and faith with those God has prepared.

• Pray that the Internet will be restored and that many millions will search for Christian programs.

• Pray that God will bring an end to the Islamic regime that has controlled the nation for over 45 years.
