God bless Javid Khales 🙏
Psalm 82:7 — "Rescue those who are oppressed and save the innocent from the hand of the wicked."
IPE: A young Iranian soldier, Javid Khales, is facing a death sentence for refusing orders to shoot protesters during massive anti-government demonstrations. The protests, sparked by economic hardship and dissatisfaction with Iran's leaders, grew from tens of thousands to about five million participants. The Iranian regime has responded violently, using live ammunition, arresting over 20,000 people, and enforcing an internet blackout. Human rights groups say Khales' sentencing shows the regime's use of the judiciary to force obedience. The U.S. has deployed a naval carrier to the region, with President Trump threatening potential military action if executions continue.
I am 95% sure this captures the main points accurately.
