Iran protests

While the security forces have been weakened by US and Israeli attacks, Iranians say that they are still exercising strict control over the cities, especially at night.

The women were among medical staff at Tehran’s Rajaei Cardiovascular, Medical and Research Center who treated injured demonstrators during nationwide protests in late December and early January.

An Israeli official told the Post that “it is more likely that lasting regime change will occur in the period after the war, during a time of relative calm.

Iran’s regime strengthens its grip on dissent, with continued arrests and a strict internet blackout, as the threat of future protests looms over the country’s fragile stability.

What will happen if Iranian citizens are once again encouraged by foreign leaders including President Donald Trump to take to the streets is impossible to predict.

Since his alleged escape, Ahmadinejad has made few public addresses, including a congratulatory message on Mojtaba Khamenei’s rise to supreme leader.

Pahlavi, working alongside allied experts, has also developed a detailed “Emergency Phase” plan for governing Iran in the immediate aftermath of the Islamic Republic’s fall. 

Anat Mastor, head of perfusion at Save A Child’s Heart, recalls childhood under the Islamic regime. Escaped in 1987 as a Jewish teen, she now saves children globally while hoping for Iranian freedom.

The plan was eventually shared with the Washington and brought forward around January after protests broke out Iran, according to Katz.

When the regime is struck, Iranian identity is not being struck.
