    Iran's Guards warn of "decisive" action if unrest continues

    DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards warned anti-government protesters on Monday of “decisive” action if unrest over gasoline price hikes does not cease, state media said, hinting at a harsh security crackdown.

    The protests have spread across the Islamic Republic since Friday, with demonstrators demanding that clerical leaders step down. At least 100 banks and dozens of buildings and cars have been torched, state media reported.

    “If necessary we will take decisive and revolutionary action against any continued moves to disturb the people’s peace and security,” the Revolutionary Guards, Iran’s heavily armed main security force, said in a statement carried by state media.

    The scale of the disturbances sparked by announcements of fuel rationing and price rises of at least 50 percent remains unclear as authorities have curbed Internet access to stop the use of social media to organize rallies and disseminate videos.

    But it appears to be the worst unrest since late 2017 when more than 80 cities and towns saw protests by thousands of young and working-class Iranians fed up with alleged corruption, high unemployment and a widening gap between rich and poor.

    The Guards and their affiliated Basij militia quelled that bout of unrest, in which at least 22 people were killed.

    Now anger has resurfaced over the impact of renewed U.S. sanctions and the government’s failed promises of jobs and investment.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

    I envision a complete breakthrough in the Middle East, where unequipped church leaders will get the chance to see Christ’s power in the most persecuted countries in the world. We are coming to arm the Middle East with weapons of love, joy, peace, healing, prophecy and breaking demon power. These are weapons of mass destruction against Satan that will defeat him and the Muslim world will all know Jesus!

    Or as he likes to say, "Iran will be saved!" Iran has one of the fastest-growing churches in the world, I hear...

    "What I pray of you is, to keep your eye upon Him, for that is everything. Do you say, 'How am I to keep my eye on Him?' I reply, keep your eye off everything else, and you will soon see Him. All depends on the eye of faith being kept on Him. How simple it is!" (J.B. Stoney)
