Perspectives on Persia to fuel your prayers

Smoke over Tehran
Men watch from a hillside as a plume of smoke rises after an explosion on March 2, 2026 in Tehran, Iran. The United States and Israel continued their joint attacks that erupted on February 28. Iran retaliated by firing waves of missiles and drones at Israel, and targeting U.S. allies in the region. Majid Saeedi/Getty Images

The renewed escalation of conflict involving Iran and the wider Middle East has once again unsettled the nations. Air strikes, retaliation and rising tensions—ordinary families carry fears about what tomorrow may hold.And in such an hour, the church must neither panic nor grow silent. We are called to pray and to proclaim. 

Persia in the purposes of God

 Modern-day Iran is ancient Persia, and Persia is woven into the very fabric of biblical history. Through the prophet Isaiah, writing more than a century before Cyrus rose to power, the Lord declared, "Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus..." (Isaiah 45:1 ESV). And later we read, "The Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia" (2 Chronicles 36:22 ESV). A Persian emperor.A pagan throne.

Yet a heart stirred by God.
