Category: MORAL COLLAPSE & LAWLESSNESS
Summary:
Widespread anti-government protests in Iran have led senior officials to reportedly prepare contingency escape plans amid fears of regime collapse. British intelligence reports indicate that Iranian leadership is securing resources, applying for visas for family members, and moving assets abroad, with some senior figures seeking French visas. Reports also suggest that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has a backup plan to flee to Moscow if security forces cannot control unrest. Since protests began in late December over economic hardship, clashes between demonstrators and security forces have resulted in at least 62 deaths, with ongoing crackdowns, internet shutdowns, and international warnings of potential violent escalation.

Scripture: Proverbs 28:1
"The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, But the righteous are bold as a lion."
Commentary:
When leadership makes secret plans to escape, ordinary people often sense deepening unrest. A regime’s fear becomes visible when those in power move their families and assets abroad.

Amid growing domestic unrest, the regime’s leadership has reportedly applied for French visas for their families in recent days, while also taking steps to secure assets abroad. “In the past 24 hours, high-ranking dignitaries from the reformist clan — including the president of the Islamic Assembly — have been attempting to obtain French visas for their families via a Parisian lawyer,” Irania...
