Rabbis Support Protests in Iran

A senior Israeli rabbi, Shmuel Eliyahu, delivered a biblical-style prayer calling for the downfall of Iran’s clerical regime amid reports of protests and severe internet shutdowns in Iran. He incorporated Torah quotations and specifically requested God to “destroy the leaders of Iran” while urging support for the Iranian protesters. This prayer coincided with significant unrest in Iran, prompting various religious figures in Israel to comment on the situation through a prophetic lens. Analysts reported that Iran’s internet blackout aimed to hinder protest coordination and obscure governmental repression.
