According to the report, the Islamic Republic has forced the streets into silence through mass killing and what amounts to martial law. To conceal the scale of the violence and cripple the population’s ability to organize or communicate with the outside world, the regime has shut down the internet and is attempting to disrupt Starlink connections, according to The Middle East Institute. Reports continue to surface of security forces raiding homes and apartment buildings to tear down satellite dishes, while checkpoints are set up to search citizens’ phones for images documenting the carnage.
The report stated that, despite this, images and videos of the regime’s forces carrying out gruesome killings, including the use of heavy machine guns, have continued to trickle out, along with photos of bodies stacked in morgues. Eyewitness testimony and accounts from medical professionals, some now outside the country, others able to place rare international calls, are increasing. The regime has driven people back into their homes by brute force. But that which cannot go on, will not. The repression may have quieted the streets, but it has not restored equilibrium. The latest uprising did not erupt in a vacuum.
The report added that it was triggered by yet another sharp collapse of the national currency. A regime that has lost competence, legitimacy, and credibility at home and abroad cannot indefinitely substitute raw violence for governance. The Islamic Republic has run out of pavement and will not last, at least not in its current form, for much longer. All of the scenarios that follow are conditioned by one overriding factor: whether and when Ali Khamenei exits the scene.
