IRGC

While an estimated 2,000 people have been killed in anti-Islamic regime protests in recent weeks, Erfaneh Soltani is the first protester to be sentenced to execution.

UK Business Secretary Peter Kyle said the British government conducted a review of the IRGC, but that the idea of proscribing it isn't appropriate for a foreign state organization.

"This cycle of horrific violence cannot continue. The Iranian people and their demands for fairness, equality and justice must be heard," Volker Turk said.

The regime’s decision on January 8 to impose a near-total digital blackout is not a technical response to unrest, but, rather, a political act, taken because the regime believes control is slipping.

Protesters gathered in Iran’s largest cemetery, Behesht-e Zahra, on Monday, chanting slogans such as “This year is the year of bloodshed, Seyyed Ali will be overthrown.”

Mass protests alone won’t topple Iran’s regime; only military, religious, and security defections can transform unrest into revolution.

The United States virtual embassy in Iran urged American nationals to “leave Iran now,” citing protests that are “escalating and may turn violent.”

Iranians unite against the regime, growing protests signal the possibility for change, yet the world remains hesitant to act.

Evangelical Bible believers see the uprising in Iran as a battle between principalities and powers similar to a battle that happened in Persia during Daniel’s day in the Bible.

A senior Israeli rabbi published a biblical-style prayer calling for the downfall of Iran’s clerical regime.
