Iranian Regime Also Fighting Against Inside Enemies
Newsmax ^ | 28 June 2025 | Sandy Fitzgerald

In addition to fighting Israel, Iranian authorities are also waging war against suspected spies and infiltrators, asking citizens to report anyone they consider suspicious.

This includes alerting authorities if they see people wearing sunglasses at night, wearing hats, reporting stolen license plates, seeing pick-up trucks with covered beds, or observing vans being driven about during odd hours, which the regime says could be signs of undercover enemies to the nation..

In the weeks since Israel launched its attacks on Iran earlier this month, Iran has arrested hundreds of people, who are quickly tried and often executed. The regime has also pushed forward a law that broadens the use of the death penalty for anyone who is convicted of espionage.

The crackdowns are leading some in Iran to believe the government's efforts will lead to attacks on political opponents as well.

...

clear the Mossad has a very wide network inside Iran — and probably 90 percent of them are locals.. Fingers are being pointed all over the place."

The Israeli intelligence abilities were on display within hours after the beginning of the June 13 strike, when several top generals and nuclear scientists were killed in their homes.

...

Mohammed Reza, a 40-year-old resident of the city of Tabriz, commented that it is only a matter of time before political opponents come under attack.

"Right now, they want to make sure no one mocks the regime or has hope for regime change.. The regime's main fear is that people will perceive it as weak. Because if people know it lacks power, they will revolt."

I am losing hope that the Iranians will overthrow their dictators.

We should send over some stupid college kids to trash their streets

One version of news said “more than 100” Iranian dissidents (enemies of the people’s Iranian Islamic revolution) were found and killed the first two days as an example. Secret police were said to be watching dissidents and their families as the ongoing Israeli bombing of military targets began.

With what? They have no Second Amendment in Iran-istan.

In a previous short-lived uprising, the people were forced to bang pots and pans on their roof tops to express their displeasure with the regime.

One famous journal of a soldier in George Washington’s troops said we have found the British are tracking our troop movements by following the blood trails on the snow. Many of us have no boots.

I’m sure fighting the Iranian leaders takes a sacrifice but it should be done now. Watch MTV and Netflix later. Overthrow tyranny today.

Agree.

That MD born in Iran and now on Fox News Dr. Sheila Nazarian said several times: In Iran the people are not blessed with the American 2nd Amendment. They are not allowed to possess guns. If they are to fight back someone will have to get firearms to them.

The "Iranian Totalitarian Way" should be made into a pop or rock song.

Mo saw her dancing there by the record machine,
She had no burka so she look obscene.
So the next I knew, it's time to kill the view, Yeah yeah
Kill her, Kill her and let her dance with devil, Allah.
Kill her and let her dance along with the western perverts.

Chorus: I love Allah, anyone who doesn't is dead
I love Allah, all others we'll cut your heads.

Maybe the stealth bombers should have dropped some “MOACs” (Mother Of All Crates) filled with ARs and 5.56 ammo.

Israel should start smuggling non-ferrous pistols inside cutout Persian Korans or perhaps Hadith collections.

“I am losing hope that the Iranians will overthrow their dictators.”

I’ve a few articles saying talk has begun about taking the country back. I think the only thing holding that movement down is the lack of a leader to focus the message. Any leader in country might not last long, which is a problem.

Given the absence of weapons, it sounds like defections from the military are the only hope they have.

Yes. B52s can do it, too. Major Kong can make sure the weapon crates get out of the bomb bays.

Maybe instead of a prisoner exchange, we can have a traitor exchange where we give Iranians keffiyeh wearing students.

Every government faces an inside threat to varying degrees.

But Iran probably faces a larger threat, seeing how we and the Israeli’s fuel this and we’re very good at it. There are many ethnic and even some religious divisions that can be exploited in Irans case, beyond the greed, lust, and pride that can be used.

In Irans case, destabilizing a government (unlike Ukraine where we over threw a legit democratically elected government in 2014) is a good thing.

Iran is a theocratic based authoritarian government. The religion in charge there has some interesting views as it would pertain to freedom of speech, feminism, LGBTQIA, crime and punishment, freedom of religion, even food and dress, by western standards.

Ever since the current power brokers took charge of that nation and began the “Islamic Revolution” circa 1980, Iran has been a self declared, very vocal, enemy of ours and in fact all the West (we just stand out front as a bulwark on this issue.

The more we weaken Iran from within, the less of a threat they pose to us. The more resources they need to divert to maintain stability, the less IRGC they send out as advisors acting against us in Iraq and Yemen, the less they back Hezbollah, the less missiles and drones they have to use against us or Israel, the less resources they devote to building a nuke.

Every dollar spent weakening Iran is a dollar invested in our security elsewhere.

When you cry wolf (Ukraine), or just habitually lie (Iraq), no one believes you anymore. Everything begins to sound the same, like a rationalization to attack and bomb someone once again. What that creates is a weird situation where when faced with someone like Iran that has a government getting the masses chanting “death to America,” it goes almost unnoticed. Iran was behind major terror attacks going all the way back to 1983, Beruit barracks bombing. Iran backs the Houthis today.

Yet, you have someone like Tucker Carlson questioning the legitimacy of our actions against Iran. I get it, he’s on the side of less interventionism, less war, and we’ve bull$hitted so often that’s it’s hard to believe anything coming out our politicians mouth.

He’s trying to be consistent and the truth rests in consistency. But he fails to realize that you don’t need to maintain consistency when you’re dealing with apples and not oranges. Not all of these situations are the same.

If you see a man with a turban and a beard, he’s probably an undercover Mossad agent. Report him to the authorities.
