Summary:
Amid ongoing nationwide protests in Iran triggered by economic hardships and political discontent, Iranian lawmakers compared U.S. President Donald Trump to a modern-day Pharaoh and praised Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as Moses. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf condemned the unrest as an American-Israeli plot to destabilize Iran. Iran’s judiciary chief, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, vowed to prosecute both domestic protest supporters and foreign governments allegedly backing the unrest, including Trump. The government has imposed harsh crackdowns and an internet blackout, with reported deaths ranging from 4,029 to as high as 16,500, while police have issued ultimatums for protesters to surrender.

Scripture: Isaiah 5:20-21
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight!"
Commentary:
Authorities in Iran are framing protests as foreign manipulation and equating leaders to biblical figures, sharpening public divisions and confusing truth with propaganda. People living through internet blackouts and crackdowns feel powerless and afraid, and that’s easy to understand. It’s striking to see old biblical language used to discredit opponents and justify harsh measures.

Prophetic Trend:
Nations are intensifying internal crackdowns while recasting unrest as foreign subversion, reflecting a deepening of end-time hardening and suspicion among rulers.

Ghalibaf also described the widespread anti‑government protests that have swept the country for weeks as an American‑Israeli plot and a “terrorist war,” claiming the unrest was being orchestrated to destabilize the state. Tensions between Tehran and Washington have surged sharply in recent weeks, as Iranian security forces struggle to quell anti-regime protests and officials face mounting international pressure over the government’s b...
