Iran: 12,000 People Massacred in 48 Hours - A Humanitarian Crisis Ignored

The brutal slaughter of innocent Iranians in the streets continues unabated, revealing a tragic chapter of unchecked violence and systemic repression. Over the past 48 hours alone, an estimated 12,000 lives have been lost—men, women, and children whose only crime was their yearning for freedom and justice. The world cannot turn a blind eye to this massacre.

Iranians are resilient. They have long desired to break free from the shackles of Islamic imperialism and the oppressive regime that dominates their land. Many women have paid the highest price—killed by the Morality Police for refusing to wear the hijab or for daring to challenge Islamic restrictions. Their courage is a testament to the unwavering spirit of those fighting for basic human rights.

It is high time the international community rises to support Iran’s oppressed—its impoverished, its women, its children—who are suffering under a regime that has lost all legitimacy. The clerical leadership’s rule is imposed, not elected, and it governs through fear, violence, and repression. The world must recognize that Iran’s leadership is illegitimate and demand accountability.

The Iranian people’s most urgent needs are water, electricity, and economic stability—essentials for human dignity and survival. Yet, instead of addressing these needs, the regime continues to meddle in foreign conflicts—supporting violence and chaos across Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, and Sudan. This reckless foreign policy diverts vital resources away from the Iranian people, exacerbating their suffering.

The crown prince and other leaders have called on the international community to intervene, to save lives, and to stand with those fighting for freedom. There is reason to believe that the United States and Israel are already clandestinely engaged—taking measures to prevent further bloodshed. Israel has intervened in Syria to protect Christians and Druze from ISIS massacres. Similarly, the U.S. has conducted operations against Islamist terrorists in Nigeria who massacre Christians and destroy churches daily.

This is a divine calling for all of us. We must speak up for those who cannot—those oppressed, silenced, and suffering in silence. Proverbs 31:8-9 urges us: “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
