Yesterday, exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi was attacked with paint thrown at him in Berlin. The man who attacked him is reported to be the son of an IRGC official.

[Breaking Christian News] In an update on Iran, and what is happening in the Strait of Hormuz, War Secretary Pete Hegseth noted on Friday that, "...The United States has imposed an ironclad blockade that grows more powerful by the day ... "No one sails from the Strait of Hormuz to anywhere in the world without the permission of the United States Navy. The blockade is tightening by the hour. We are in control. Nothing in, nothing out."

According to the Iranian-born founder of Tousi TV, Mahyar Tousi says the blockade is doing more damage to Iran's Islamic regime than even what the US and Israeli airstrikes inflicted, as it is starving the IRGC of hundreds of millions of dollars every day.

On Thursday, President Trump took to Truth Social to announce the following directive regarding the actions of the regime attacking and seizing 2 cargo ships in the Strait earlier this week.

"I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation. Additionally, our mine "sweepers" are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled up level! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP." 

Meanwhile, while the US is reportedly still somewhat open to peace talks with the IRGC, Trump says they are in no hurry, as the regime this week underwent a military coup, with its main negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf forced to resign. And, although their Foreign Minister Araghchi was in Pakistan hoping to bring America "back to the negotiating table," according to Tousi, the "US confirms no talks have been arranged for this weekend with Iran."

Earlier this month, Pahlavi extended this message to the Iranian people: 

The blow that was inflicted on the body of the Islamic Republic in just 40 days was unprecedented and for this regime it is irreparable. Removing Ali Khamenei, the murderer of tens of thousands of brave Iranians, is alone a historic achievement for our nation. Now that, besides him, dozens of commanders and main agents of repression in the Guards and Basij and the regime's intelligence agencies were also abolished. Thousands of repressive forces perished. The structure of the command and suppression control is paralyzed and collapsed. Military infrastructures, which were built not to defend Iran, but to issue terrorism and instability, have been destroyed. The regime's financial resources for repression inside and terrorism outside have drastically reduced. The Islamic Republic is more isolated and hateful than ever in the region and the world.

What is left for this regime is the reliance on foreign mercenaries and bloodshed minorities whose benefits are in the survival of this regime; a regime that has suffered a lot in the field of reality, but by cutting off the Internet to 90 million Iranians, and through its lying machine, still She takes a victory gesture and chants Regz. Those who claimed they would never surrender to ceasefire, today they have lost their leader and commanders, they have lost the war, accepted the ceasefire, and are brought to the negotiating table for total surrender.

But we knew from the beginning that the Islamic Republic would not fall only by removing the command and weakening the repression system through air strikes. That's why I emphasized to you in all my messages that it is we, the nation of Iran, who must give the final blow to the weakened regime and overthrow it.

I want you to know that I am closely monitoring your situation in Iran. I know that the Islamic Republic has become very weakened but its ability to suppress it has not yet gone completely. My whole aim is to make the final action to overthrow the Islamic Republic with the least cost of life. Each one of your lives are precious to me. So, I urge you to be patient, on guard, and wait for the defining moment with confidence in victory and fully prepared. In this interval, I and all our compatriots abroad will shout out with all our might for your demand to end the Islamic Republic.

Believe that no force in the universe can withstand the power of a united nation. This time, the Islamic Republic does not have a way out and luck to survive; and by your powerful hands, the great nation of Iran will be overthrown. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
