The end is coming in sight, Iran will be free, be bold and ecisive, praise Jesus.
Yes, this is what I'm praying for as well. I can't imagine living under 47 years of terrorism, oppression, abuse, torture, murder, forced marriages including children. God help them to be free and turn to Christ.

Iran has been sanctioned by various international bodies and countries—primarily the United States, the United Nations, and the European Union—for several key reasons related to its foreign policy, military programs, and internal governance. [1, 2, 3]
Core Reasons for Sanctions
- Nuclear Weapons Program: The most comprehensive sanctions were imposed to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons capabilities. The U.N. Security Council and Western nations have targeted Iran's uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities, fearing they lack a credible civilian justification.
- State Sponsorship of Terrorism: The U.S. Department of State has designated Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1984. Sanctions target its financial and material support for groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.
- Ballistic Missile Development: Sanctions aim to curb Iran's development and proliferation of ballistic missiles and drones, which are seen as a threat to regional stability.
- Human Rights Abuses: Recent waves of sanctions, including from the EU and Canada, respond to the Iranian government's "brutal crackdown" on peaceful protesters, particularly following the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022 and subsequent massacres in 2026.
- Support for Russia's War in Ukraine: The EU and other nations have sanctioned Iran for providing military equipment, specifically Shahed drones, to Russia for use in its invasion of Ukraine. [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Historical Context
These articles explain the historical context and primary reasons for international sanctions against Iran:
- 1979 Hostage Crisis: The first U.S. sanctions were imposed in November 1979 after radical students seized the American Embassy in Tehran and took 52 hostages.
- 2015 Nuclear Deal (JCPOA): Many international sanctions were lifted in 2016 after Iran agreed to limit its nuclear activities.
- "Maximum Pressure" Campaign: In 2018, the Trump administration withdrew from the JCPOA and reinstated strict economic sanctions to force a change in Iran's regional policies.
- 2025 Snapback: In August 2025, European parties (E3) triggered a "snapback" mechanism due to Iranian non-compliance, leading to the reimposition of previously terminated UN sanctions. [1, 2, 4, 7, 10]

Deut 32, the song of Moses tells of Israel's end and destruction, which was completed in 70AD.
All the covenant curses from Deut 28 were fully meted out on that unfaithful harlot, Israel.
