Summary:
Senator Lindsey Graham has called for the end of the Iranian regime amid ongoing protests and the pending execution of 26-year-old protester Erfan Soltani. Soltani, a shopkeeper arrested in Fardis, was sentenced to death after an expedited trial for protesting against economic conditions. Graham expressed hope that the execution would not proceed and stated that the Iranian people deserve a better life, warning that the continued rule of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be a setback. The situation remains uncertain as U.S. President Donald Trump has noted reports of halted executions and threatened intervention if the regime uses violence against demonstrators.

Scripture: Proverbs 29:2
"When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan."
Commentary:
This verse speaks plainly to the suffering that comes under oppressive leadership. It’s difficult to watch individuals face death for protesting injustice—most people simply long for basic freedoms and fair treatment. When harsh rule persists, it takes a visible toll on daily life. Such unrest and injustice are not random; they fit a prophetic pattern of turmoil and resistance to truth that Scripture notes will intensify as history draws forward.
Prophetic Trend:
Widespread unrest and crackdowns in Iran show the sharpening conflict between oppressive power and the longing for justice seen in biblical patterns.

He is facing death at the hands of the ayatollah simply for protesting in the street for a better life. His family is calling on the world to come to their son’s aid," Graham wrote in a post on X along with an article about Soltani."I hope and pray that the execution does not go forward and this young man does not forfeit his life because he wants to live in freedom without fear," the senator added. "This regime must fall, and the Iranian people must have a better life."Graham said that he believes if the regime falls and the "murderous ayatollah running Iran" is gone, the impact on the region "would be incredibly positive." He also warned, however, that if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were to remain in power, it would be "a giant step backward into the darkness."LINDSEY GRAHAM CALLS FOR US TO USE 'ANY...
