JERUSALEM, Israel – Speaking on The 700 Club Wednesday, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon said Israel hopes the Iranian people will become free of the regime in Tehran, but as arrests and deaths mount, he is concerned that the people are “paying a terrible price for their freedom.”
Danon also told Gordon Robertson that Israel is keeping close watch on the Tehran regime’s nuclear moves and their ballistic missile production.
Protests have continued for twelve days in Iran as the death toll rises. Some say this uprising may go further than any in the past because this time it’s about Iran’s collapsing economy, which threatens its citizens’ lives.
At least three dozen people have died, and the regime has arrested more than 2,000 protesters.
In a message on social media, Iranian Crown Prince Reva Pahlavi, the son of the deposed Shah, challenged Iranian security personnel to decide if they will choose to protect the regime or the people of Iran
Other uprisings against the mullahs have petered out. However, Hormoz Shariat of Iran Alive Ministries tells CBN News these may last longer because Iran’s plummeting economy now threatens Iran’s very survival as the people can’t afford food or life-saving medicines.
“That’s just heartbreaking when a family, their loved one is dying, and they can’t afford a 30-dollar, 40-dollar medicine that can save their loved one, and they die,” Shariat declared.
President Trump has repeatedly warned that the U.S. may intervene if the regime starts wiping out protesters.
