ICC Note: Although the country’s economy is suffering greatly, the Iranian regime has presented a budget that will allocate billions of tomans towards Islamic religious and propaganda centers. This has caused further discontent towards the regime among many Iranians, further opening the door for the Gospel message to advance.
