The Iranian terrorist regime has crossed yet another red line, launching a brazen missile attack that struck the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem's Old City, prompting swift condemnation from Israeli officials who are calling this assault on Christianity what it is: an act of war against the civilized world.

The missile strike, which targeted civilian areas in one of the world's most sacred locations, damaged the ancient church that Christians believe stands on the site where Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and resurrected. This isn't just an attack on Israel—it's a direct assault on the Christian faith itself.

While Iran's mullahs continue their reign of terror across the Middle East, this latest atrocity shows they have zero respect for religious freedom or sacred sites. The fact that they would deliberately target a church visited by millions of Christian pilgrims annually reveals the true nature of this radical Islamic regime.

Iran's War on Christianity

This attack comes as no surprise to those who have been watching Iran's systematic persecution of Christians within their own borders. The regime that stones women and hangs dissidents from construction cranes has now exported their anti-Christian hatred to the Holy Land.

Israel's swift condemnation of this attack demonstrates once again why the Jewish state remains America's most reliable ally in the region. Unlike the previous administration that coddled Iran with billions in cash payments, President Trump's strong support for Israel sends a clear message that attacks on our allies—and on Christianity itself—will not be tolerated.

The timing of this attack is particularly telling. As Trump's second term focuses on America First policies and unwavering support for Israel, Iran appears desperate to provoke a wider conflict. But they've miscalculated—again.

Patriots across America should be asking themselves: Where is the outrage from the mainstream media? Where are the condemnations from the so-called 'progressive' Christians who spent four years attacking Trump? Their deafening silence speaks volumes about their true priorities.

This attack on one of Christianity's holiest sites is an attack on all Americans of faith. The question is: will we stand with Israel and defend religious freedom, or will we allow Iran's terrorist regime to continue their war on Christianity unchecked?

I visited the Holy Sepulchre just two years ago with our church group. The thought that this sacred place where Jesus was buried could be damaged by missiles makes me sick to my stomach.

Where is the international condemnation? The UN should be outraged but they'll probably find a way to blame Israel for this too.

Why isn't the mainstream media covering this story? If this was a mosque that was attacked, it would be front page news everywhere!

Because they have an agenda. Christian persecution gets ignored while everything else gets amplified.

Completely agree. This isn't just an attack on Israel, it's an attack on all Christians worldwide.

This attack on the Holy Sepulchre is prophetic. We're seeing the nations rage against God's chosen people and His holy city just as the Bible foretold.

Absolutely unacceptable! Iran continues to show their true colors as enemies of peace and religious freedom.
