The Center for Human Rights in Iran, based in New York, said it received eyewitness accounts and credible reports indicating that hundreds of protesters have been killed in Iran since the government cut off the country's access to the internet on Thursday night.

The-------------'s ICE goons are taking notes.

There is every chance that massacres should be feared here at home when Donald Trump attempts to crush protests.

The Iranian people have already absorbed at least 500 dead on the streets. I hope we can be that brave.

Israeli Terrorists have been rounded up.

Most of the hard core violence seems to have been fomented by trained Israeli operatives.

Not too hard to believe, huh? Given the surprise attacks in June while Iranian "Negotiations" with the US were ongoing.

No Bottom. The Israelis are Swine.

Did Trump and Bibi Plan these "Spontaneous" demonstrations and Murders by "Demonstrators" to Foment a New War with Iran?

An Excuse to Attack Again?

Looks like it to ME.

The US should not attack Iran openly. It should support the protestors by providing them with support, small arms, intel, etc. They struggle needs to develop its own leaders and that won't be accomplished if they let others do the fighting for them. But, if Trump holds true to form, he won't be able to resist jumping out in front of a parade and taking credit for anything positive that might occur.

I don't think there has ever been a bigger POS in all of human history!!!

Weeks before these demonstrations erupted all over Iran, this time over economic problems, the IDF High Command issued a warning to the citizens of Israel to be prepared for a three-front war against the West Bank, Lebanon, and Iran. That was on 31 Dec 2025. ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu met Dummkopf Trumpf on 29 and 31 Dec 2025 in the US.

Both of these malefactors knew then about these mass demonstrations in Iran because the Mossad fomented them. The first small protests in Iran began on 28 Dec which then metastasized nationwide.

Every few years the Mossad (and probably CIA) attempt to create unrest in Iran because the neo-cons and AIPAC want to see regime change in Tehran. Not because Iran is a theocracy that is harsh on its citizens, but because it is the the only Middle Eastern country that stands up for the Palestinians. We saw the Yemeni Houthis and Lebanese Hezbollah support Iran by counterattacking Israel and its shipping during its brutal Nakba against the Palestinians.

Afghanistan is also a Muslim theocracy that is harsh to their citizens. Who is instigating regime change there?

Iranian counterintelligence and cyber-hackers identified at least six hundred agent provocateurs working for Israel inside Iran.
