Iran

Iran's population is around 88 million, Christians are as small minority of 300,000 to 370,000 living in Iran. Iranian Christians face a harsh reality. The government restricts their worship, making building churches difficult and discouraging services in Farsi, the common language. Converting to Christianity is particularly dangerous, with accusations of threatening national security leading to arrests, imprisonment, or worse. Discrimination in education and employment adds another layer of hardship.Even established Christian churches with recognized ethnicities have limited freedom. They face pressure to avoid Farsi worship and proclaming about Jesus Christ. These challenges stem from Iran's status as an radical religion ideology and suspicion of Christians with foreign ties. Ultimately, these restrictions make it extremely difficult for Christians to practice their faith freely in Iran.
