Installment #16 - Persecution Watch - Iran

An Iranian Christian couple in their 60s died last week from injuries sustained when secret police raided their house church service and severely beat them, according to a source for Compass Direct News. Amiri and his wife hosted the house church meeting just outside the central Iranian city of Isfahan. The secret police beat and arrested all those in attendance. Amiri died in a hospital on July 30 from injuries sustained from the beating and Amiri’s wife, Sakineh Rahnama, died on August 3 from stress-related causes, according to Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN).

I had hoped we would advance further on the mission to bring regime change to Iran. I know it's something that most Iranians want, but they are being held prisoner by the mad mullahs.

If Iraq had gone as orginially planned I think we definitely would have, so Iran can definitely thank al Qaeda for its continued existance.
