Shahram Hadian is founder of Truth in Love Ministry. He is a Christian pastor and a former Muslim. Shahram was born in Iran and came to America in 1978 to escape an oppressive Islamic regime and committed his life to Jesus Christ in 1999. He has an extensive background not only as a pastor, but also as a former police officer, teacher, coach and servant leader in his community.
The funeral procession for the former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been underway today. Fox News reported that as the procession approached the Shrine of Imam Reza, mourners carried revolutionary placards and a massive banner threatening President Donald Trump. Khamenei’s body was carried by a slow moving truck as mourners chanted revenge slogans against President Trump while placards reading “Kill Trump” also appeared in the crowd.
In violation of the ceasefire, Iran attacked ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz while the U.S. has launched retaliatory strikes against Iran.
In a recording from a press conference that Jim plays on this Crosstalk, President Trump called the Iranian leaders “scum” and said the ceasefire is over.
Why does President Trump continually change his mind, saying at one point that the leaders in Iran are rational, then later turns around and says they’re scum?
Shahram reminded listeners that we’re dealing with fanatical, fundamentalist Shiite Muslims that are following the script of Islam. They lie to their enemies, delay, make deals and break deals. This has been the pattern of Islamic warfare for 1,400 years.
Shahram also called U.S. negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, “lightweights” that have no idea who they’re dealing with.
There’s much more to take in from this broadcast. For example:
- Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s leader, has said there’s an invasion plan (against Israel) on the table. In light of that, why is President Trump cozying-up to him and offering F-35 stealth fighters from the U.S.? Is this a sign of the upcoming Ezekiel 38-39 war?
- What’s happening with the Christian church in Iran?
- A Muslim scholar from Canada says the quiet part out loud about what the true motivation should be for Muslims in the West.
Listener comments round out this critical broadcast, a warning that you’ll want to share with your family and friends.
