Iran's Crackdown Intensifies, Bodies Pile Up in Hospitals, Trump Prepares to Act
According to reports from multiple media outlets such as Reuters and Associated Press, this wave of large-scale protests in Iran has directly touched the regime, with increasing calls for an end to the theocracy. After Ayatollah Khamenei's televised speech on January 9th, the Iranian authorities quickly escalated their crackdown to quell the situation.
An Iranian protester said that the current situation is rapidly deteriorating into a nightmare, with bullets and tear gas being used, making the scene extremely terrifying. A 60-year-old Iranian woman described that there are many deaths during the protests, and she saw a pile of corpses in a hospital in Tehran, with the situation being very chaotic, and even the military has directly joined the crackdown.
But of course, the arm cannot overcome the thigh. With the Iranian authorities escalating their suppression, the protesters expressed pessimism, saying that they will eventually have to accept reality unless a foreign power intervenes, otherwise the current regime will remain in power and not fall.
Evidently, he was referring to Trump, who has repeatedly stated his intention to intervene in the Iranian situation. Just on the afternoon of January 9th, Trump also said: The scene in Iran is unprecedented, and he is ready to provide assistance.
Rubio had a call with Netanyahu to discuss intervening in Iran, while a large US military transport plane also urgently flew from Germany to the Middle East, suspected to be preparing for intervention in the Iranian situation.
Currently, the demonstrations in Iran have indeed exceeded previous scales, touching the security of the regime. It cannot be ruled out that Trump may really take this opportunity to directly intervene, trying to overthrow the current regime.
