UN chief blasted as ‘abjectly tone-deaf’ over message to Iran marking revolution anniversary

Summary:
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres sent a congratulatory message to Iran on the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, addressing it to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. This gesture attracted criticism from anti-regime Iranians and human rights advocates, who argued it was inappropriate amid ongoing reports of crackdown and abuses, including potential casualty figures reaching 30,000. The message followed a recent U.N. human rights condemnation of Iran's treatment of protesters and comes ahead of Iran’s foreign minister’s planned address to the U.N. Human Rights Council. A U.N. spokesperson stated the letter is a standard annual protocol sent to all member states on their national holidays and does not signify endorsement of government policies.

Scripture: Proverbs 24:24-25 (NASB 1977)
"He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”
Will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations;
But to those who rebuke the wicked will be delight,
And a good blessing will come upon them."
Commentary:
Public protocol can still land like moral approval. People who have watched friends jailed or worse hear these gestures differently. Proverbs warns against declaring the wicked “righteous,” even with formal words. In global forums, language often smooths over blood-stained realities, and that pattern matches biblical warnings about rulers trading truth for stability. Speak plainly. Pray for courage for witnesses and for justice to be upheld without flattering power.
Prophetic Trend:
Diplomatic courtesies increasingly blur moral lines as global institutions prioritize continuity, echoing biblical patterns of leaders normalizing wrongdoing for the sake of order.
