🚨 A drive-by shooting targeting a purported Basij member has surfaced in a newly circulating video from Iran. As internet access slowly returns across parts of the country, the footage reportedly shows armed anti-regime militants opening fire on a man outside a supermarket before chasing him inside and fleeing the scene. It is widely believed that armed grassroots anti-regime movements have begun forming inside Iran to confront the regime’s brutality.

State TV has denied that IRGC Brigadier General Ali Azmaei was killed in tonight’s strikes. But such denials are far from definitive. The same state media previously claimed President Raisi’s helicopter had safely landed in Tabriz and that the presidential convoy was returning by land - before his death was later confirmed. Narrative control, contradictory reporting, and disinformation have long been part of how the Islamic Republic manages sensitive military and political crises. [شبنامه]

🚨 The Islamic Republic continues to strike American military assets in the Persian Gulf, with Bahrain and Kuwait now under attack. Reports indicate multiple explosions were heard in Bahrain after warning sirens sounded, while renewed IRGC missile and drone attacks against Kuwait are also being reported. Both countries host major U.S. military installations, raising concerns that the regime is widening its campaign against American forces and regional partners. If confirmed, the attacks would mark another significant escalation and further increase the risk of a broader conflict across the Persian Gulf.

🚨 We are now seeing some of the devastating ecological consequences of the Islamic Republic’s deliberate oil dumping in the Persian Gulf. Here, marine animals can be seen dead after exposure to the massive oil contamination. The Shia Republic only brings havoc, destruction, and instability wherever it goes - in Iran and beyond.

🚨 Why would a satellite procurement official be targeted? Satellite communications, procurement networks, and technology transfers have become increasingly important to the Islamic Republic’s military, intelligence, and censorship infrastructure. While there is no public evidence linking this specific case to foreign programs, Iran has long relied on cooperation with countries such as China and Russia for advanced communications, surveillance, aerospace, and dual-use technologies. If the reports are accurate, the incident may point to a broader focus on the logistical, procurement, and technology networks that help sustain the regime’s strategic capabilities behind the scenes.

🚨 Reported explosion, fire, and targeted elimination inside Tehran at the Pamchal 6 Tower linked to the Islamic Republic Army’s Cooperative Foundation. Initial reports claim an explosion and fire broke out inside the building, with some sources alleging a targeted elimination operation rather than an accident. The tower is reportedly tied to institutions connected to the Islamic Republic’s military establishment, adding to growing speculation about internal security breaches, infiltration, and escalating covert activity inside Iran.

🚨 A Shia terrorist from England says he is going to fight for the Islamic Republic. He is from Leeds and openly says he is going to Iran to fight for the IRGC, even brazenly showing his UK passport. This is a serious security concern and he should be barred from re-entering the country, Keir Starmer.

🚨 The regime is now admitting that the January 2026 protests by Iranians were organic and rooted in widespread corruption inside the Islamic Republic. Saeed Mohammad, adviser to the Infrastructure and Production Commission of the Expediency Council, said Ali Larijani approached him to investigate the institutionalized and widespread corruption within the regime, adding that it was one of the main drivers behind the massive protests. This directly contradicts years of Islamic Republic claims that the protests were “Zionist/CIA-led plots” driven by foreign elements. Those same January 2026 protests resulted in the deaths of more than 45,000 protesters. Now, even regime insiders are admitting the unrest was Iranian-led and fueled by corruption, mismanagement, systemic theft and failures by ruling officials.

🚨 Iran’s regime is now openly discussing destroying American satellites — including Starlink — by detonating explosions in Low Earth Orbit. On state TV, a regime “expert” proposed creating massive orbital debris fields to cripple U.S. and Israeli systems. This is space terrorism. A reckless act that could trigger Kessler syndrome and damage global satellites, GPS, communications, internet infrastructure, aviation, and economies worldwide. This is the same regime that: ⚪️ Arms proxies like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis to attack civilians and international shipping ⚪️ Threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz and contaminate the Persian Gulf ⚪️ Arrests Iranians for possessing Starlink terminals while jamming communications ⚪️ Uses internet blackouts and communication suppression to hide executions, crackdowns, and state violence They cannot provide freedom, prosperity, or stability for their own people, so they export chaos and intimidation instead. This is not a normal government. It is a destabilizing and terroristic regime that threatens both Iranians and the wider world.

🚨 Tehran’s police chief just exposed the truth - it was the regime, not foreign agents, that massacred protesters. For months, the regime and its Western apologists blamed the January massacre on “Mossad/CIA agents.” Now Ahmad Reza Radan himself calls it a “second war” and an “urban war” against Iranians and admits pride in it. This wasn’t foreign interference. It was the Islamic Republic regime waging war on its own people where over 45,000 unarmed Iranian protestors were massacred. Lies don’t stay hidden forever.

🚨 The Islamic Republic exposed its own lie on state TV, this time around the Minab elementary school bombing. An IRGC officer who was at the scene went on air and described what happened that day. He says they witnessed a number of drones heading toward the school, and he specifically refers to them as drones. He then describes how they first tried to shoot them down with small arms. After failing, they went to get a DShK 12.7mm heavy machine gun, set it up, engaged the targets, hit them, and brought them down. The problem with his account is that it directly contradicts the regime’s narrative of a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile strike. That does not match the physics or timing. A Tomahawk travels at roughly 900 to 950 km/h, about 250 meters per second, often at low altitude. From the moment it is seen or heard, impact follows within seconds. You do not have time to: • Recognize the threat • Stop a vehicle • Exit, coordinate, and aim • Retrieve a heavy weapon • Set up a tripod-mounted DShK • Then open fire That sequence takes minutes, not seconds. There is another issue. You do not take down a high-speed cruise missile with small arms or even a DShK. These systems are not designed to intercept fast, low-flying cruise missiles. By the time you engage, the missile has already reached its target. The scenario described only makes sense against a slower, trackable aerial platform, such as a drone. You cannot reconcile both claims. Either it was a high-speed cruise missile with almost no reaction window, or it was something that allowed time to react and engage, like a drone as the IRGC officer described. The timeline described makes one of those impossible. The Minab story has been central to the war’s narrative, as the regime used it to generate international sympathy and condemnation while attempting to frame the U.S. as responsible. At the same time, eyewitness accounts have claimed the IRGC had placed watchtowers and military assets in and around the school.

🚨 Iraqi Shia militia Hashd al-Shaabi presence dominating the streets of Iran With heavy weapons and free rein, these Shia forces are no different from ISIS in brutality, vileness, and savagery. Letting foreign forces patrol Iranian streets marks one of the biggest betrayals in Iran’s history.

🚨 The armed resistance group that gunned down two IRGC forces releases a message! The Homeland Defenders Organization, which shot and killed 2 regime officers at a checkpoint near Qom, dedicated the operation to two young protesters murdered by the regime: Nika Shakarami and Pezhman Gholipour. This pro-Iran, anti-regime outfit did not indicate whether more operations are coming, but appears organized.

🚨 Iraq has sent another convoy of militias into Iran under the cover of humanitarian aid This is not mercy or aid, but a Trojan horse. In addition to regular militia-linked convoys making free and unhindered cross-border trips, the regime is now smuggling in thousands of Hashd al-Shaabi fighters disguised as medical teams. These Iranian-backed Shia militias, known as the PMF, are the same forces who played a role in brutal crackdowns on Iranian protesters that killed over 45,000. With no meaningful border control or vetting, the Islamic Republic has deliberately allowed them in and is counting on them as another uprising begins to take shape. In the Islamic Republic, ambulances have been used to transport security forces and detain protesters, while hospitals have been stormed to target the wounded. The regime is preparing for a violent crackdown on its own people. The world must wake up and support the Iranian people before it is too late.

🚨 A fierce internal rift is erupting among Islamic Republic supporters over the ceasefire. Many are openly calling negotiations and a ceasefire “treacherous” and “humiliation,” arguing the regime must confront Israel and the U.S. rather than compromise. This rhetoric frames them as permanent enemies, rejecting any agreement outright. What’s emerging is not unity or “victory,” despite propaganda efforts, but deep division and instability within the regime’s own base.

🚨 “Ali Khamenei’s death was caused by deep internal infiltration.” That is the striking claim now being made by Mehdi Kharatian, a figure linked to Iran’s intelligence and policy circles, who says Ali Khamenei was constantly moved between secure locations under a highly complex security system. Kharatian stated that Khamenei was repeatedly relocated and rarely stayed in one place for long, suggesting that such an outcome could only have happened through penetration from within the regime’s own inner circles. The remarks are fueling further speculation about deep internal infiltration, mistrust, and security failures at the highest levels of the Islamic Republic.

🚨 The Iranian regime’s underground missile cities, built while millions of Iranians faced poverty and water shortages, have come at a devastating cost. While ordinary Iranians struggled with inflation, economic decline, and collapsing living standards, the Islamic Republic spent decades pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into underground missile cities, tunnels, drones, and military infrastructure. This was never truly about defending the Iranian people. It was about exporting ideology, threatening Israel, funding regional militias, and pursuing endless confrontation at the expense of Iran’s future. For years, the regime openly centered its foreign policy around the destruction of Israel while simultaneously constructing vast underground missile networks beneath mountains across the country. According to estimates outlined in the analysis, the cost of excavation and missile infrastructure alone may range from tens to hundreds of billions of dollars. Meanwhile, millions of Iranians faced: ⚪ Economic collapse and inflation ⚪ Severe water shortages and environmental destruction ⚪ Underfunded hospitals and schools ⚪ International isolation and sanctions ⚪ A collapsing currency and shrinking opportunities The regime chose missile tunnels over modern infrastructure, regional conflict over national prosperity, and ideological extremism over the well-being of its own people. An entire generation of Iranians grew up under sanctions, economic pressure, corruption, repression, and instability while the regime diverted national wealth into missiles, proxy groups, and underground military projects. Missile cities may symbolize power for the Islamic Republic. But for many Iranians, they symbolize decades of misplaced priorities and a regime that repeatedly placed ideological warfare ahead of its own people.

🚨 Another attack reported by armed resistance. In this video, armed Iranians in a car chase down an IRGC vehicle on the road, open fire, and the vehicle then steers off the road and stops. This is in line with the growing number of attacks on IRGC assets by pro-Iran patriotic forces.
