This wasn’t the first time Iranians played a pivotal role in Jewish history. Centuries earlier, Cyrus the Great (Korosh), founder of the Achaemenid Empire, liberated the Jews from Babylonian captivity and allowed them to rebuild their temple in Jerusalem. Isaiah 45:1 declares: “Thus says the Lord to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held—To subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings.” Once again, during the time of Christ, Iranians stepped into history to protect and honor the Jewish Messiah, uniting the destinies of two ancient peoples.

What makes this bond even more extraordinary is its endurance throughout history. This alliance didn’t end with Cyrus or the Magi. During the reign of Khosrow II, Iranians and Jews collaborated against the Byzantine Empire. And now, in the modern era, amid a world increasingly hostile to Zionism, Iranian Zionism has resurged, both within Iran and among its diaspora. Despite relentless efforts by the Islamic regime to indoctrinate hatred against Jews, many Iranians have rediscovered their history and their cultural and biblical bonds with Israel.

This alliance is not accidental. It is a divine thread woven throughout history, from Cyrus’s liberation of the Jews to the Magi’s reverent journey to Bethlehem, and now to modern Iranians standing with Israel. It is a bond that has withstood the test of time, uniting two peoples in their shared destiny.

Let us celebrate this miraculous story, one that ties together ancient Iran and Israel, Zoroastrian priests and Jewish shepherds, and a star that illuminated the way for humanity’s greatest hope.
