Christians in the Islamic Republic of Iran

In Iran, conversion or research on religion is officially prohibited;  But this is not the end of the story...

In recent years, many house churches in Iran have been attacked by the security forces of the Islamic Republic.

Many pastors and believers in Iran were imprisoned, tortured, and threatened by the Islamic Republic and many of them got forced to stand against their faith.

In order to restrict Christians, the Islamic Republic of Iran has closed many of its official and legal churches on charges of evangelism.  It has officially banned the activities of evangelical churches and accused many Christians of spying on the United States and Israel in order to put more pressure on the Christian community.

Over the past four decades, the Islamic republic has sought to make it increasingly difficult for Christians by teaching religion in the education system, teaching its religious ideology through the media, restricting access to study resources, and banning the Bible; To narrow the gospel for the evangelization and freedom of action of Christians.

However, Iran is one of the countries where Christianity is growing and increasing, and due to annual government restrictions, many Christians are forced to leave the country and seek refuge in other countries.
