Category: BEAST SYSTEM
Summary:
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards declared that maintaining security is a “red line” amid widespread protests triggered by soaring inflation and political demands to end clerical rule. The military pledged to protect public property as unrest continued, with state media reporting attacks on security forces and the burning of a municipal building in Karaj. Authorities blamed “terrorist groups” for targeting military and law enforcement bases, while rights groups documented dozens of deaths and over 2,500 arrests. Internationally, the US expressed support for protesters, and European leaders condemned violence against demonstrators.
Mysterion Insights
Scripture: Proverbs 29:2
"When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan."
Commentary:
These protests in Iran reveal deep distress under harsh governance. When leadership becomes oppressive, unrest multiplies regardless of official force or threats. Ordinary people feel the cost of inflation first—it isn’t abstract. The stance of the Revolutionary Guards underscores how unstable authority handles opposition, often intensifying conflict instead of resolving it. Scripture frequently describes fierce control and societal groaning as precursors to greater upheaval in the last days.

Prophetic Trend:
Mounting civil unrest and state force in Iran highlight the intensifying tension between authoritarian rule and popular upheaval seen in end-time scenarios.
