Mahyar Tousi, host of Tousi TV, delivered a live stream update on the escalating situation in Iran. He reported that the Islamic Republic has effectively declared war on its own citizens by deploying official IRGC military forces after withdrawing police and Basij units from the streets. This shift followed massive protests across the country, with millions responding to calls from Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to take to the streets.
Tousi claimed exclusive direct access to sources inside Iran despite a nationwide shutdown of internet, mobile data, and phone lines (with some limited access via Starlink). He described widespread demonstrations in cities including Tehran, Shiraz, Rasht, Mashhad, Isfahan, Gorgan, Karaj, and many others. Protesters have targeted and destroyed government buildings, IRGC bases, Islamic centers, and state TV facilities, while raising pre-revolutionary Lion and Sun flags and chanting slogans calling for the regime's downfall and Pahlavi's return.
According to Tousi, the IRGC's deployment has led to clashes, with reports of over 55 deaths, thousands arrested, and some regime soldiers killed. However, he emphasized that the moves have backfired, drawing even larger crowds determined to stay on the streets. Protesters have fought back by ramming vehicles into forces, disarming soldiers, and overwhelming bases in several areas.
Tousi highlighted international attention, noting President Trump's warnings to strike the IRGC hard if killings continue, potential US and Israeli involvement, and repositioning of American troops. He urged Iranians with Starlink access to spread the message that the people are winning and must not retreat.
He also discussed rumors of internal regime turmoil, possible leadership flight, and the need for Pahlavi to establish a government in exile for a smoother transition. Throughout, Tousi praised the protesters' bravery and unity across ethnic and regional lines, predicting the regime's collapse is imminent.

If it is true, it's all but over. I broke it up quickly, so it is readable and not because I was looking for proper paragraphs.
“Party Over HERE!!”

Well the IRCG have the guns, kinda makes all the difference. Most people in the west do not understand that this is why we have the 2nd A.
This sounds hugh and series. Hope the people can bring much needed change and freedom to iran- wouldnt thay be something? A peaceful iran znd most of the threat to Israel stops
True enough.
Doubt that. But one can be hopeful. There are too many muslims in other countries who want to destroy Israel. But it is better to have Iran mullahs become toast.
year is starting out great!
trade deficit has been cut in half, we took over venezuela, and several mentally ill liberals are no longer breathing or voting.
LOL
Regardless of the accuracy of stories or lack of it, shouldn’t the lamestream media be covering such an important story? A brief mention along with minor stories isn’t enough.
Send Erin Burnett, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell into the most dangerous streetfighing to report for us.
Maybe the Mossad could sneak weapons in and maybe even some behind the scenes shenanigans against the regime...
Dear God...help our troubled world...God bless all good people around the world.
Round up all the mullahs, all the religious police and government officials and have a fire.........
