    IRAN THREATENS CHURCH WITH BOMBING

    TEHRAN, IRAN (Worthy News)- Another church in Tehran was ordered
    to cease holding services in Farsi, the Iranian national language,
    otherwise it could be "bombed".

    According to Barnabas Aid, ministers from an Iranian interior
    department dealing with interfaith matters served notice to the
    Armenian Anglican Church, unofficially threatening that if the order
    is ignored, the church will be bombed "as happens in Iraq every day".

    This latest threat comes after both Emmanuel Protestant and St. Peter
    Evangelical churches were ordered to stop holding services in Farsi
    on Fridays, which falls on the weekend in Iran where Sunday is just
    another work day.

    "It now seems likely that the Islamic authorities have imagined that
    with this new restriction they will somehow hold back the rapid,
    and evidently extremely worrying, spread of Christianity amongst the
    people under their yoke," according to a report by the Farsi Christian
    News Network.

    Iranian security agents have been arresting Christians in a
    country-wide crackdown since Christmas.
