In Tehran, the capital of Iran, security forces opened fire at protesters from the roof of a police station. In Karaj, they fired live rounds into a march, shooting one person in the head. In Isfahan, young men barricaded themselves in an alley as gunfire and explosions rang out.
Scattered protests had percolated since late December, starting with a strike in Tehran’s bazaar and fueled by a plunging economy. But by early January, Iranians had revolted en masse, and the security forces began to crack down with deadly force.
It was not just the protests unnerving the regime. President Trump encouraged the demonstrators and threatened military intervention. In many places, riots flared in parallel with peaceful protests; government buildings, commercial properties, mosques and police stations were set on fire.
On Friday, Jan. 9, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ordered the Supreme National Security Council, the body tasked with safeguarding the country, to crush the protests by any means necessary, according to two Iranian officials briefed on the ayatollah’s directive. Security forces were deployed with orders to shoot to kill and to show no mercy, the officials said. The death toll surged.
Despite Iran’s shutting down the internet and disrupting phone service, some Iranians managed to evade restrictions to share witness accounts and hundreds of videos, many of which The New York Times was able to collect and authenticate.
The Times has verified videos of security forces’ opening fire on protesters in at least 19 cities and in at least six different neighborhoods in Tehran in early January.

Crushed? Wishful thinking on NYT’s part?
We should have been air dropping them weapons.
Yes. The authors were probably thinking ‘If only Biden had been more forceful here....’
NYT is on the side of the regime in Iran.
To the New York Times and its readers, this is a success story and example of what the Dems should be doing when they get back into power.
Apparently so far Trump hasn’t done any more for them than Obama did...zip.
It’s only a preview for what to come to USA, if the Left gets back in power, there will be revenge.
Ridiculous. None of our business.
We should have been doing this in Minneapolis and Portland.
NEVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS!!!!
TOTALITARIANS ALWAYS FIRST DISARM THE POPULACE!
The only answer to an attempt at gun confiscation is REVOLUTION or CIVIL WAR!!!
Agreed.
To the ICE agents, not the “peaceful protesters”.
Mullah’s Ordered 80,000 deaths and growing.
The New York Times is trying to make it sound as a good thing.
NYT can go to Hell with the Mullahs, IRGC and Baiji.
Likelihood Of US Strikes On Iran 'Very High' Amid Military Buildup, Drills
U.S. boosts military presence near Iran
“Help is on the way.”
Iranians were on the verge of toppling the mullahs, and Tim Walz was minutes away from resigning as Minnesota governor.

Hamas Hands Over Body of Ran Gvili, Closing Chapter for Israel
---------
Hamas DID NOT HAND IT OVER! -####- Israel sent in a team to Gaza and extract it.
Classic NYT Lies to Engineer the Lie as Truth
700 bodies were removed from a cemetery and 250 were scanned
Ron Guili was located wrapped in a standard hospital body bag from Al-Shifa terror Hospital
He was identified by his police uniform. He was immediately identified.
I sent a letter to the editor of the NYT yesterday.
Not this subject, but very similar.
The NYT deserves to go out of business.
Interesting, but there seems to be a large number of transport aircraft flying from Moscow to Tehran, at the moment. I don’t know if this is normal traffic or not, but it is interesting that some transport is occuring - either picking up in Tehran and returning to Moscow, or transporting from Moscow to Tehran.

Watch TousiTV on YT to get a better perspective on the situation in Iran. The rebellion against the Nazi mullah isn’t over. By a long shot.
