THE CHRIST RESPONSE: when an Ayatollah is assasinated

When the news broke on Sunday morning that the Ayatollah Khamenei, has been killed in a joint USA-Israel bomb attack, one of the first Christian responses I read was by a prominent American Christian journalist/author from THE JERUSALEM POST.  He responded as follows: The most wicked leader in the world is dead. Khamenei was finally assassinated on Saturday in a joint operation by the United States and Israel. “He is now burning in the fires of eternal Hell, and rightly so.”

IRAN ATTACK: excuses, reasons and a Christian perspective

DISCLAIMER It is premature to predict how the renewed conflict between the USA and Iran will unfold, how long it may persist, or what lasting effects it will have on the region. What can be of value, however, is to examine the possible reasons behind the attack and the broader regional dynamics that shape these…

TEARS FOR SALE: the exploitation of Iran’s people

My heart aches for the beautiful people of Iran. And this past week, my grief has deepened—not only because they endure a season of profound suffering, but because their suffering itself is being exploited. This is cruelty weaponized, suffering turned into currency. It is the manipulation of grief for power, the trading of anguish for advantage. To profit from another’s tears is to desecrate the very meaning of compassion. Those who exploit it must be named, unmasked, and exposed.

IRAN DECODED: 5 perspectives beyond the headlines

The attacks by Israel on Iran cannot be reduced to a simplistic view of two nations at war.

WHAT THE IRAN EXPLOSION TAUGHT ME: 5 steps in making Godly assumptions

On Saturday 26 April 2025, a massive explosion rocked a port in southern Iran, killing 25 people and injuring around 800 others. Upon hearing the news, I immediately made a calculated and informed assumption that the initial negotiations between the USA, Israel and Iran had collapsed, and Israel and America had finally carried out their threats to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. I was wrong. But to be honest, we all, at one stage or another in life, embark on this perilous journey of making assumptions.  The challenge is therefore not how to stop making assumptions but how to make Godly assumptions and break free from the corrosive habit of making foolish assumptions.
