According to a video posted on CBN News, on Tuesday June 23, 2026, CBN News Middle East bureau chief Chris Mitchell stated that the Iranian regime views the Christian church as a genuine and serious threat to its survival, and that this is the core reason authorities continue to target, arrest, and shut down Christian gatherings across the country. Mitchell shared these observations during a live interview from Jerusalem.
That leader told him directly that the church represents a real threat to the regime, and that the government’s response has been both aggressive and calculated.
In his words, Chris Mitchell said, “I talked to an underground church leader. He’s not in Iran right now, he’s in another country, but he says the church represents the real threat to the regime. It’s why they continue to shutter churches, arrest Christians on mass.
