I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable,

There are over a million ancient Apostolic Christians in Iran, predominantly Armenians and Assyrians. The U.S.-Israel War against Iran is disastrous for Middle East Christians across several countries, as many of our communities are already on the brink of extinction.
