Iranians’ Stunning Response to Islamic Government’s ******* on *******: ‘We’re Not Living’

On Friday, explosions echoed through the air in Iran, just days after the *******-majority country launched

 — a marked escalation for a country that has, historically, attacked the ******* state only via proxies, like the Gaza-based ********** cell ******.

Tehran, though, is downplaying the

. Jerusalem hasn’t taken responsibility for the explosions, which caused no casualties or injuries, but it’s believed the drone ******* came from *******. Regardless, Iran has not indicated any plans to respond, likely in hopes of avoiding a region-wide war.

There are some Iranians, however, who see war as the only way forward — and not because they oppose *******, but because they are victims of their own corrupt government and they see outside forces like the ******* nation as the only way to topple the evil regime lording over them.

Lily Meschi of Iran Alive Ministries appeared on a recent episode of CBN’s “****** vs. Culture,” where she revealed what she’s hearing from Iranians on the ground in the Middle East.

Born in Tehran to a nominally ******* family, Meschi is well acquainted with the feelings of many in the Middle East. Now a **********, she works closely with Iranians as she shares the Gospel in the region and collaborates with believers in the Islamic nation.

“The Iranian government is totally separated from the citizens,” Meschi said. “The Iranian people are not for the government; they want the government to be toppled. They want to overturn this government, and they are seeking for democracy. Some of them — as heart-wrenching as a war could be — are looking forward to a war. They are saying, ‘We want ******* to ******* Iran, because this might be the answer we’re looking for. We’re not living, but we’re just all surviving every single day.’”

She went on to explain many older Iranians she’s spoken to have told her they would “rather **** in a war” so the “next generation [can] live a better life of freedom and democracy.”

“Some of them are saying, ‘This could be the answer that we’re looking for, because, no matter how many protests, how many people gather in the streets of Iran to protest against the government, they’re not going anywhere,’” Meschi said. “They don’t get support from any other countries. … They feel hopeless and they feel like this is not life, [so they] might as well do something for the next generation.”

WOMEN HAVE BECOME ‘AGENTS’ FOR GOSPEL IN IRAN

Since the revolution of the late 1970s, the chief victims of the Islamic Republic of Iran have been women.

That became profoundly apparent in the wake of

, an Iranian woman in her early 20s ******* in the custody of Iran’s so-called “morality police” because she wasn’t wearing her head covering — or hijab — the way the government demanded.

Amini’s ****** sparked an outpouring of protests in the region over the fact “everything has been designed against women” in Iran, Meschi said.

“Iranian women, when they come to ****** — because of how much wrong has been done to them, because of all the injustice, because of how much they’ve been crushed and persecuted and oppressed — when they realize who they are in *******, when they realize they are daughters of the Most High ****, they are valued for who they are not what they can do, they become agents of transformation,” she said.

Emboldened by the freedom of the Gospel, Meschi said women who have come to ******* have often served as the chief evangelizers in their communities, among their families, friends, and neighbors.

“They are on the forefront of this movement in Iran,” she explained, noting some 80% of Iran Alive Ministries’ leaders on the ground in Iran are women. “They’re pretty strong. They’re really discipling women, younger women. That’s encouraging to us how, where there is darkness, the grace of **** shines ever greater. Because they are the most heartbroken people in Iran, the grace of ****, for them, is so much greater and they’re now doing great work inside of an unreached nation. That’s amazing to me.”
