Since the protests erupted, Iran’s leadership has leveled direct accusations at the United States, accusing it for what officials describe as riots sweeping the country.

The sudden U.S. aggression on Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president, Nicolas Maduro, in early January 2026, sent shockwaves across the region, revealing sharply contrasting reactions from Iran and the Israeli Occupation.

The new Iranian government is working to amend the protest law, aiming to empower security forces to control demonstrations and curb demands with a politically critical stance against the authorities.

The Iranian regime is intensifying its control over journalists and political activists who criticize its mismanagement, repression of freedoms, and security agencies' misconduct.

In a remarkable development of the massive popular protests taking place in Iran, killings escalated against members and leaders of the Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian security services.
