2,000 Iranians feared dead, still the people won’t quit

By Kirollos Abdalla —

As of Day 15, an estimated 2,000 Iranians have been killed by troops loyal to the regime who are shooting indiscriminately into the surging crowds of the uprising. Whereas in the past, normally, that would be enough to tamp down protests, the people are not backing down.

It’s over for the regime.

Freedom fighters (as Iranians are now being called) are hunting down Iranian Guard Revolutionary Corps leaders in their homes and assassinating them. Eliminated:

• IRGC Col. Mahdi Rahimi, responsible for the  Jan. 11 Malekshahi massacre in Ilam Province
• Reza Kasab, commander in Iran’s missile forces based in Kashan, was killed when a suicide drone struck his vehicle inside Iran.

Reportedly 100s of leaders have been eliminated, per Tousi, who monitors Iran’s state T.V.

“They lost the whole leadership last summer in June during the 12-day war. Then they had to promote a bunch of interns and now the interns are dead,” remarked wryly reporter Mayhar Tousi, who follows events closely. “So, I’m not really sure who they’re going to find to who who’s good enough to be promoted to the top of the regime.”

Despite the fact that the regime sent drones to monitor the people in Punak, a high-end neighborhood of Iran, the people, in spite of taking fire, stood firm, chanting, “Long live the king!” — a reference to the son of the shah deposed by the Iranian Revolution in 1979.

As troops face-off with population, from time to time the mostly unarmed Iranians civilians overpower an armed soldier. They disarm him, as a video showed.

Mossad, Israel’s spy agency, has not confirmed its presence and activity inside Iran. It messaged the Iranian people in Farsi: “Go out into the streets together. The time has come. We are with you, not only from a distance, we are with you in the field.”

The Islamist Republic of Iran declared from its beginnings that wiping out Israel was a chief objective; therefore, Mossad’s intervention is about its own survival, an act of war against an implacable enemy.

Confirmation of Mossad’s activity on the ground explains the targeted assassinations, bombings of key IRGC facilities and factories in recent days. It’s real easy for Mossad to recruit operatives, since Iranian Jews were chased out and persecuted by the IRGC.

On Jan. 10, a protester in London scaled to the balcony of Iran’s embassy and replaced the IRGC flag with the old Persian flag.

Banks are closed and ATMs are not working.

The Supreme Leader, previously reported to be int the West of the country, is now said to be hiding in a bunker in the East of the country.

In Bander Abbas hordes chanted: “This is the final battle. (Reza) Pahlavi is returning.”

The Israeli military is on full alert for another attack, possibly their last 500 Kheibar ballistic missiles, any time soon. Plus, Iran has threatened to attack the United States. While they don’t appear to have the capability to reach U.S. from Iran, there may be sleeper cells in United States, thanks to complete open borders under the previous administration.

Pahlavi from exile encouraged his compatriots in Iran to stick to main streets, not use side streets, where because they would be few, could be found and killed by the mercenary thugs who support Khamenei.

He said much of the Army and police have already defected to him and the transitional government. What remains are a few hundred jihadis from Iraq, who came to power there thanks to Khamenei’s patronage, he says.

“Today the world stands with your national revolution and admires your courage,” Pahlavi said via translation. “In particular, President Trump, as leader of the free world, has closely observed your indescribable bravery and has declared he is ready to help you.

“My heart is with,” he added. “I know that I will soon be by your side.”

A message out of Iran was read on Tousi T.V. “Here it is hell. For us, it smells like victory. For them, it smells of the stench of overthrow… This is the most magnificent revolution in history.”
