Albert Mohler: An Open Door

Thursday, March 5, 2026

The world order can be reshaped in just a matter of hours—or even just minutes.

Just as Iranians were starting their new work week on Saturday, leaders in Israel and the United States launched an attack. By the end of the day, the second supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei was dead.

For more than four decades Iran has been the main source of state-sponsored terror. It also sought to attain nuclear weapons.

President Trump ordered direct bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites just last year, but the regime resisted any agreement that would prevent the development of weapons grade materials. By Saturday the gig was up. Israel was not going to stand by as Iran gained nuclear capacity, and neither was the United States.

President Trump has called to the people of Iran to seize political control, but the future is by no means clear.

Pray that the right leadership emerges to point the Iranian people through the right door.

As President Trump said on Saturday to the Iranian people: “This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.”
