IRAN MASSACRES ORGANIZED BY THE CLERGY, WITH THE BLESSING OF ITS RUSSIAN AND CHINESE ALLIES

MASSACRES ORGANIZED BY THE CLERGY, WITH THE BLESSING OF ITS RUSSIAN AND CHINESE ALLIES

Iran, the bloody days of January 2026

Iran under the Shah ("King of Kings") Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (1919-1980), who was overthrown by huge street demonstrations in February 1979, has been a "land of blood" for decades under the "republican" clergy of the mullahs  : A land bloodied by cliques of executioners, hangmen, and shooters (from the Savak to the Pasdaran) who have succeeded one another in power. After the Shah's empire, ruled by the CIA and Israel's major card in the Middle East, the Ayatollahs' empire spread its web from Lebanon to Syria, from Palestine and Israel to Yemen. But it is also a land of blood, prey to the geostrategic games of imperialists large and small: on one side Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, etc., on the other the American hyperpower and its Israeli and Western allies. The 12-day war in June 2025 pitted Israel (Operation Rising Lion) and then its guardian, the United States, against Iran, at the cost of enormous destruction  , which was borne by the civilian population, risking the conflagration of the entire region and beyond.
The January massacres
The massacres of January 2026 planned by the regime are the logical consequence of a policy based on terror, both under Shiite leader Ruhollah Khomeini (1902-1989) and under Ali Khamenei. Having become the "Supreme Leader" of the "Islamic Republic," the ruthless old man Khamenei (now 86 years old) has continued to undergo regular rejuvenation treatments by massacring his rebellious population: 2009, 2017-2018, 2019, 2022.
2025 was an annus horribilis for real or supposed opponents—labeled "corrupt on Earth" (sic) and "enemies of God" ("moharebeh"). They were tortured and then hanged by the thousands—2,000 hangings, A "RECORD"  . 
Starting in Tehran's Grand Bazaar on December 28, a quasi-insurrectionary movement spread like wildfire across this country of 90 million people, against a backdrop of worsening economic crisis. After the merchants—once the pillar of the mullahs' regime—students and the working classes joined in, with the exception of oil workers, who did not want to get involved in the battle. This is primarily an economic protest movement against the high cost of living (more than 50% inflation in one year) and the deterioration of economic activity (approximately 20% unemployment). In 2025, 31 million Iranians were living below the poverty line, compared to 23 million in 2020  . After shopkeepers and students, the impoverished classes are joining the protest movement against the high cost of living, which is spreading throughout Iran. To appease the protesters, President Massoud Pezechkian, a surgeon described as "moderate" (sic), initially claimed to be listening to "legitimate demands."  He promised monthly aid of around €6 for "eligible citizens" (sic), a slap in the face for a population living in abject poverty, with an average monthly salary of €170  .  "Concerned" for his people, he "orders that no security measures be taken against demonstrators and those participating in gatherings"  . But, as always, the chloroform of words precedes the gunfire, before the surgical amputations and the apocalyptic accumulation of body bags.
The year 2026 began without transition, marked by the most ferocious repression ever imposed by the military-clerical dictatorship. Unarmed protesters were shot (and chopped to pieces) with military weapons such as the Soviet DShK (nicknamed "Dushka," or "little soul"), an old weapon (1938) used against armored vehicles  . The country experienced the same apocalyptic scene from Tehran to Isfahan and even in medium-sized cities. Internet access was cut off on January 8 for several weeks to prevent protesters from communicating with each other inside and outside the country with their loved ones  .
The number of victims—tens of thousands—far exceeds the 12,000 to 15,000 killed during the purge ordered by Khomeini in the summer of 1988 at the end of the Iran-Iraq War  against "the enemies of Islam."
Extrapolating from approximate counts of healthcare workers in hospitals, we arrive at a total of 30,000 victims, not counting the bodies "fished out" of the streets  or counted in prisons. Many of the wounded suffered eye injuries, amounting to "four times the number of deaths." To conceal their crimes, the Pasdaran of Khamenei, the mastermind of the massacre, wrote in medical records, for example, "liver surgery," etc.  .
We must also take into account the thousands of protesters who were arrested (40,000 or more) and often sentenced to death, ready to be hanged by the military-clerical regime.
The regime then reached the height of ignominy: the families of the victims must pay for the bullets that killed their children and loved ones  . This is the application of the "Chinese method" used for those sentenced to death. Families must pay for the bullets used to kill their loved ones in order to recover their bodies  . 
THE SUPPOSED FRIENDS OF THE IRANIAN VICTIMS OF BARBARISM: FROM TRUMP-NETANYAHU TO THE SHAH
With his talent for lying every second like his hero Putin, the leader of the MAGA gangs is now sailing his heavily armed galleys towards the coast of Iran to, he says, "stop the massacre."
It is worth noting that Trump, relying on his MAGA "brainstorming," promised to bring down the regime with a snap of his fingers, relying as much on the Mossad as on a rotten plank: Reza Pahlavi, the son of the Shah who was overthrown in 1979, who was the architect of the infamous "Black Friday" of 1978 (approximately 4,000 deaths)  . 
The slogans chanted by demonstrators in January 2026 foreshadowed the fall of the regime: "Death to Khamenei" ("the Supreme Leader") and "Long live the Shah! " (Reza Palhavi). The latter relies on Trumpist far-right networks in the US and carries a heavy burden, that of supporting Netanyahu's bloody regime. According to the center-left media outlet Haaretz, Netanyahu allegedly carried out a large-scale manipulation operation using fake accounts on "social media" to promote Reza Pahlavi's return to power. The crown prince of a failed regime has never hidden his closeness to Netanyahu. In 2023, invited to Israel by "Bibi," the heir refused to condemn the Israeli strikes on his thousand-year-old "empire" in 2025: "The goal was essentially to neutralize the regime. I don't think the Israeli government intended to attack Iranian civilians," he whispered into the BBC microphone on June 15, 2025.
FLEEING HIS SUPPOSED "FRIENDS"...
In January 2026, the "crown prince" called on protesters to "take to the streets today and tomorrow" [January 10 and 11]  . Trump joined him in this belated and highly suspicious concern for the Iranian people, who have been victims of endless massacres for decades.
"I greatly respect the fact that all the planned hangings, which were to take place yesterday [more than 800 of them], were canceled by the leaders of Iran. Thank you!" he dared to write on his platform, Truth Social. "This has had a great impact."  .
Modest and beaming with happiness, the "king of the world" Donald confided: "No one convinced me. I convinced myself" (sic), responding to a reporter who asked him if Arab and Israeli officials had dissuaded him from carrying out strikes against Iran.
The US president had stepped up his threats of intervention in recent weeks, before claiming to have been informed "by very important sources" (those of the mullahs? Ed.) that "the killings had ended." A pure lie.
Of course, the massacres continue discreetly with complete impunity. According to a report being prepared by Mai Sato, the "UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights," the repression has left tens of thousands dead, killed in the most atrocious conditions  . She points out that Trump also bears some responsibility/irresponsibility for the massacre: "... I , cannot help but wonder how many people could have been spared if Donald Trump had not made those remarks calling on Iranians to take action, implying that the United States would come to their aid"  .
It is true that this UN eminent figure will never specify that the "Machin," as General De Gaulle called it in the midst of the Congolese chaos  , contributed greatly to the massacre in Iran (but also in Gaza, Lebanon, etc.) through its total inaction, encouraged in this by the members of the Security Council, led by Russia, China, and the US, not to mention all the other states.
The people of Iran should expect no support from the UN, whose failure is reminiscent of that of the League of Nations, nor from the Americans and Israelis, and even less from a Shah who has come out of mothballs.
A very young student, in transit in Turkey, concluded tremblingly:
"NEITHER THE AMERICANS NOR THE RETURN OF THE SHAH, WE ARE NOT GOING TO TRADE ONE DICTATORSHIP FOR ANOTHER"  .

Iran, a major geopolitical issue for the US, Russia, and China
While the US, under Trump's MAGA banner and with the support of Mossad, sails its "invincible armadas"—a reference to the Spanish Armada  ?—the chaos of a world devastated by war is very much present. For some commentators, the annus horribilis of 2026 already has a name: "THE YEAR OF THE GREAT WAR"  .
Faced with the "invincible armada" of the "king of the world," Iran has announced that naval maneuvers with its Russian and Chinese allies  will take place in the Sea of Oman and the Indian Ocean. 
If the US-Israel coalition plans to launch its bombing campaign in the coming days, the toll of innocent civilian victims would be enormous. Trump has already promised to destroy Iran if the regime threatens him, without being sure of the outcome, as in the case of Iraq in the past  .
The consequences would be immense, from the Persian Gulf to Taiwan. By appropriating Iran's oil resources and controlling all oil routes from Venezuela to the Persian Gulf, US intervention would have incalculable consequences, multiplying the casus belli from the Arabian Gulf to Taiwan, which is claimed by China.
This is summarized in the January 2026 issue of Le Monde diplomatique:
"A regime change in Iran would have major regional repercussions. Freed from the threat posed by the Islamic Republic, the Gulf monarchies would no longer be bound to unity at all costs. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, yesterday's allies in Yemen, are already eyeing each other warily and could decide to fight it out to assert their primacy on the peninsula. Unless Abu Dhabi decrees that it is time once again to bring Qatar into line, as was attempted in 2017 with a total blockade. But this should not obscure the fact that the fall of the mullahs would also mean the continued lockdown of energy supplies by Washington. FOR BEIJING, THIS COULD CONSTITUTE A CASUS BELLI" (emphasis added).
