Iran < Persia

Posted on by

UPDATE:

Our Persian source informs us that police have refused orders to shoot the crowd in Hamadan. This may well mean regime fall is imminent. 

In numerous conversations with friends and allies on our subjects, I have asserted that history turns on a dime. Things which are obvious a day after they happen, could never have been predicted the day before, and indeed people who said it might would be ridiculed.

This is grounds for hope in fact, as we see in Iran today.

Events are happening too quickly to properly say what is taking place. But after conversations with friends who are highly aware, and plugged into the expat community, I can report a few things which at this point we believe are the case:

1. This does not appear to be an MEK production.

We can all be grateful for this. But my source says that the crowd is chanting for a return to traditional Persian leadership, even for a King or Queen or Shaw. This would not be an MEK thing by any stretch.

2. Women have been holding what they have been calling, “White Wednesdays” for some time now, where they go out into the streets without the mandatory head coverings and flaunt their contempt for the misogynistic laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

From source:

While the brave Iranian women are removing their mandatory head covering protesting against the Islamic regime in Iran, the Canadian officials promote the Hijab in many of govt official pages. Even their female MPs and MPP s wear the hijab in support of oppression against women.

3. People have been pulling down and burning billboards of the supreme leader of Iran and chanting, “We do not want an Islamic Republic”.

This includes burning down a number of mosques connected to the regime, and, in the “holy city of Qom”, which is where the bearded weirdoes have their center of power. Now the protests are in Tehran but both religious centres, (Qom, and the other one) have seen mosque fires and major protests.

4. President Trump’s unbridled support for the protestors seems to be catalyzing these events in a wonderful way. These are great days to be alive.

M and Xanthippa and many others have been slamming down links to videos, twitter feeds and whole Youtube channels where videos of the Iranian counter-revolution are taking place. Find them and save them if you feel they are historical. Many will be.

Also Canadian PM. Justin Trudeau, who has very close ties with the current Iranian regime, both familial and political, was very close to reopening the Iranian embassy in Ottawa.

We can all look forward to a confused look on his face to go along with his conspicuous silence on the current protests.

  7. Isn’t this whole thing about the rising price of chicken? Iranians will always be Muslims. All muslims are bad for humanity. The only positive here would be that they wipe each other out. The drawback is that any that survive will still be Allahs slaves. Freedom and democracy for Iran? Heh!

    • You don’t have protests over economic conditions unless those conditions are approaching the level of Venezuela.

    • humorous tweets?
      “Linda Sarsour, we are prepared to crowd fund travel expenses for you to go and march for women’s rights in Tehran. This is your time to shine. They need your help.”
      “I have never seen so many Islamophobes in my life. Iran is full of Islamophobes who want democracy over Islamist theocracy.”
      “CNN plagiarises news from Tasnim News,”

      • “I have never seen so many Islamophobes in my life. Iran is full of Islamophobes who want democracy over Islamist theocracy.”

        Please pardon me whilst I attempt to scoop my jaw up from the ground.

        Sarsour is a Class AAA traitor against all womankind. She is worthy of every last punishment that Islam retains for its very worst female malefactors. May she rot in everlasting, infinite, hell. Preferably after having unhealed FGM performed upon her several thousand times (without the slightest anesthesia).

        These are the supposed “womyn”, like Germain Greer, that will drive modern civilization towards total (misogynistic) Theocracy, or the extermination of all feminazis.

        As someone who has supported women’s rights throughout my entire life, the notion of someone like Sarsour having the slightest credibility makes me want to engage in continuous, projectile vomiting.

          • “almost certain those tweets were sarcastic”

            Let’s hope so, but some sort of validation would be useful. From what I’m able to gather (after a “first pass” online search), Sarsour doesn’t have a lot of “throw weight”.

            Just the fact that she is shown wearing a hijab counts as a serious strike against her.

            Again, any creditable evidence to the contrary is more than welcome.

  12. “Our Persian source informs us that police have refused orders to shoot the crowd in Hamadan. This may well mean regime fall is imminent.”

    Please refrain from any over-optimism (no matter how desirable it might be).

    When verifiable news reports come through about the IRG (Iranian National Guard) refusing “orders to shoot the crowd”, then it will be time to uncork the Champagne.

    Until then (as with the Internet shutdown), there’s little in the way of truly reliable news coming out of Iran.

    Anyone who reads my contributions here at Vlad Tepes Blog knows damn well how much I wish for these reports of Iranian civilian uprisings (and police back-downs) to be true.

    Knowing just how brutal and murderous Tehran’s mullahs are, it’s far too soon to hope for meaningful change in Iran.

    That said, all of us can hope and wish that Iran’s long-suppressed (noble) Persian culture will have the slightest opportunity to overcome its cruel Shit Shiite masters.

    • This isn’t the end of of the Islamic Republic, but it may be the beginning of the end. It is the time to get hopeful but not to celebrate.

    • The Iranian Government is denying the reports that the Revolutionary Guard shot any protesters, claiming outside agitators are to blame. I find this as interesting as I do the fact that the shooting only occurred in one or two locations, locations that were close together. Either the government doesn’t think the protests are serious (unlikely) or they are afraid that their orders to fire would be refused.

      • “The Iranian Government is denying the reports that the Revolutionary Guard shot any protesters, claiming outside agitators are to blame.”

        As usual always, IT’S THE JOOOOOOSE!!!

        “I find this as interesting as I do the fact that the shooting only occurred in one or two locations, locations that were close together. Either the government doesn’t think the protests are serious (unlikely) or they are afraid that their orders to fire would be refused.”

        Thank you for your typically invaluable tactical analysis, Richard.

        This “clustering” of anti-civilian countermeasures certainly points towards a less-than-confident governmental superstructure that’s worrying about how to back up whatever cannon fodder it sends into the fray.

        As in, green recruits assigned to crowd control might:

        A.) Side with the locals.

        B.) Abandon positions and arms that might then fall into civilian hands.

        A key indicator would be just how many of these concentrated counter-protest actions take place at any distance away from known IRG (Iranian Revolutionary Guard) bases.

        Your thoughts, please.

  14. “I have asserted that history turns on a dime…”

    Garsh all mighty, Eeyore, do you mean like how the USSR’s collapse happened in microseconds compared to whatever very best predictions were offered up by the NSA (National Security Agency) and CIA (Central Intelligence Agency)?

    [GASP!]

    Yes indeed, history most certainly can ‘turn on a dime’.

    Then again, hoping that high-level political or ideological matters in the MME (Muslim Middle East) will be so time sensitive is another matter entirely.

    Please note how the much-vaunted “Arab Spring” has had all the elasticity of a crowbar.

    All the same, your willingness to keep people updated about the possible overthrow of Iran is, simply, PRICELESS!

    Thank you so much and may you and yours have the very happiest New Year.

  15. It can be the beginning of the end, we will have to wait several days to see what the end result will be.

    I find it interesting to see that they are calling for a Persian Government, since they are doing that has their been any response of any kind from the Palave (sp?) family? That was the last Monarchy of Iran/Persia so what are they doing and saying?

    • “It can be the beginning of the end…”

      Much like demolition of the Berlin Wall, this is something I sincerely do not expect to see in my lifetime.

      Any immediate return of Iran to a free and democratic society would be only slightly less expected than finding a trout in the milk pail.

      • If the counter revolution succeeds it won’t be a return to democracy, Iran has never had democracy. It may be a return to the semi constitutional Monarchy of the Shah.

        • Some of the protestors are calling for a return to the monarchy.

          At this stage I tend to think of democratic as a statement about how the institutions of state are run, rather than how people are selected to govern.

          If there is rule of law, rational rules of evidence, rational systems of distribution of wealth and opportunity, its a democracy even if it is overseen by a dictator.

          If its a theocracy or communist system where thought crimes or accusations mean death without any kind of reasonable procedure, then its not a democracy no matter how many times they vote for the beard in charge.

          Anyway thats my recent thinking on it.

    • “I hope one of those leaders who is stealing their gold crashes.”

      Have you considered how it might be far better that whatever monetary capital involved successfully departs Iran in order to (potentially) assist opposition forces?

      At the very least, depriving Iran’s mullahocracy of access to financial liquidity will only help drive Tehran further into the sort of constraints that will make them (however slightly) more compliant.

      If you can prove otherwise, I welcome your (well-documented) evidence.
