Over 30,000!  Terrible.  And this is per the Ministry of Health, the Regime itself.  The Supreme Leader must be incensed the numbers have been leaked. “Iran health officials say death toll far exceeds official figures during protests – report,” I24, 1-25-26.

“More than 36,500 Iranians were killed by security forces during the January 8-9 crackdown on nationwide protests, making it the deadliest two-day protest massacre in history. … [In addition] Images released from morgues leave little doubt that some wounded citizens were shot in the head while hospitalized and undergoing medical treatment.”  These were “finishing shots.”  See “Over 36,500 killed in Iran’s deadliest massacre, documents reveal,” Iran International, 1-25-26.  This is perhaps the most shocking entry of my writing this blog since 2018.  It may also represent the “finishing shot” for the Islamic Republic of Iran Regime.

“Why Turkey and Qatar need the Iranian regime to survive,” Ekathimerini, 1-25-26.

Remember, she should never have been at Emory in the first place.  Larijani has been a leader in the Regime and Parliament for years, and unless we hear otherwise she and other relatives are not opposing what happens in Iran, they are simply living here in safety and abundance.  This is not a question of academic freedom, etc.  “US university fires top Iran official Ali Larijani’s daughter amid Washington-Tehran tensions,” New Arab, 1-25-26.

That’s the spirit.  “Iran judicial chief says protest instigators to receive no leniency,” Times of Israel, AFP, 1-25-26.  Uh, but he made a mistake, he implicated the IRGC and other Regime actors when he said, “justice entails judging and punishing without the slightest leniency the criminals who took up arms and killed people, or committed arson, destruction and massacres.”  But I bet no Iranian agents will be prosecuted, only persons they shot or beat or burned or assaulted or massacred.
