Secular Powers Exploit Iranian Unrest to Promote Godless Agenda
The Vatican News portal (January 10, 2026) reports on continued protests in Iran, framing the unrest as a spontaneous popular uprising against economic hardship and alleged human rights violations. The article emphasizes international reactions, including statements from U.S. President Donald Trump threatening military intervention (“we’ll start shooting too”), and joint appeals from European leaders Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and Friedrich Merz urging Iran to allow “freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.” The report cites unverified casualty figures from the Norway-based Iran Human Rights group while acknowledging the impossibility of independent verification due to internet restrictions. Absent entirely is any mention of Iran’s systematic persecution of Christians or the theological implications of Western powers imposing secular values on an Islamic nation.
