🗓️ Update: Two weeks ago today, #Iran was cut off from the world by an extremist regime as the people went out on the streets to call for change.
With the digital blackout silencing Iranians' voices, authorities perpetrated one of the deadliest crackdowns in modern history.
“They are in their final days. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” says Iranian activist @NazaninBoniadi, as the regime cracks down violently.
“A govt that thinks of itself as legitimate doesn’t take away its citizens’ rights to communicate w/ each other & the outside world.”
At least 12,000 people were killed in the largest killing in Iran’s contemporary history, carried out largely over two consecutive nights on January 8 and 9, Iran International’s editorial board concluded, based on a review of sources and medical data.
Iran is under a coordinated blackout aimed not only at security control but at concealing the truth, reflected in internet cuts, crippled communications, media shutdowns, and the intimidation of journalists and witnesses.
Publication was delayed until the evidence converged.
The assessment is based on a multi-stage review of information from a source close to the Supreme National Security Council; two sources in the presidential office; accounts from several sources within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Mashhad, Kermanshah and Isfahan; testimonies from eyewitnesses and families of those killed; field reports; data linked to medical centers; and information provided by doctors and nurses in multiple cities.

Disturbing video emerging from Iran is revealing the extent of the regime's brutal crackdown on protesters.

⚠️ Update: #Iran has now been offline for 120 hours.
Despite some phone calls now connecting, there is no secure way to communicate and the general public remain cut off from the outside world.
What footage makes it through shows extensive use of force against civilians 📵
⚠️ WARNING: DISTURBING CONTENT
Received images with this description: "Kahrizak Forensic Medicine Center, #Tehran – Saturday, January 10, 2026"
Attached voice message (translated from Persian):
"I traveled nearly 1,000 km to get internet access and send these images.
They dump the bodies into containers. There were over 2,000 bodies that day alone, scattered on the ground. By the time we arrived, one full refrigerated 18-wheeler container was loaded.
When someone found their loved one’s body, forensic staff would register the bullet wounds, issue a coded permit, and families queued to load the body onto trucks for processing. The total was over 2,000–3,000 just that day."

What is happening in Iran now – large-scale protests, effectively an uprising – is a clear sign that things won’t get easier for Russia.
And every decent person on this planet truly wants the people of Iran to finally free themselves from the current regime that has brought so much evil to Ukraine and to other countries.
It is crucial that the world does not miss this moment when changes are possible. Every leader, every country, and international organizations must step in now and help the people remove those guilty of what Iran has sadly become.
Everything can be different.
