# 12 Killed In Iran, Security Forces Accused Of Opening Fire

Twelve people have been killed during the fourth night of "spontaneous" protests in Iran, according to state TV. The deaths follow reports that Iran's Revolutionary Guard vowed to "crush dissent" and take tough action if the unrest continued in what began as a protest against economic policies and seemed to immediately morph into a call for regime change - with demonstrators protesting against state security forces and calling for the ouster of Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The Daily Mail reported overnight that three people were shot dead by security forces who opened fire on protesters in Isfahan, while two individuals were run over in the town of Dorud by a stolen fire truck, and another two were shot overnight in the southwestern town of Izeh. "Armed protesters tried to take over some police stations and military bases but faced serious resistance from security forces,” state TV reported.

> Video purportedly filmed in the city shows dozens of marchers on the streets as vehicles burn around them before what sounds like gunshots are heard.

> The deaths in Izeh were confirmed by local politician Hedayatollah Khademi, who said it was unclear whether they were killed by police or other demonstrators.

> 'The governor said it (the gunfire) was unlikely to be by police as they were not supposed to open fire,' he said.

> The shooting in Isfahan was reported by several prominent Twitter personalities including Amichai Stein, foreign affairs correspondent for the Israeli public broadcasting corporation, but could not be independently verified.

> Elsewhere police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse a small protest in Tehran's Enghelab Square on Sunday evening.

As we reported on Saturday, the US State Department has issued a formal condemnation of the Iranian government following two days of economic protests centering in a handful of cities, calling the regime "a rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos" while announcing support for protesters. It fits a familiar script which seems to roll out when anyone protests for any reason in a country considered an enemy of the United States.

Daily Mail

US State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert released a statement on Friday which effectively calls for regime change;

> U.S. strongly condemns arrest of peaceful protestors in #Iran, urges all nations to publicly support Iranian people. As @POTUS said, longest-suffering victims of Iran's leaders are Iran's own people. #Iranprotests pic.twitter.com/mUTObTeHft

> — Heather Nauert (@statedeptspox) December 29, 2017

The next day, President Trump tweeted that the "Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime's corruption & its squandering of the nation's wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian govt should respect their people's rights, including right to express themselves," adding "The world is watching!"

> — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 30, 2017

And Mike Pence, of course, stands with Trump in supporting "peaceful protesters in Iran who are speaking out for freedom," adding "we condemn the arrests of innocents," and "The time has come for the regime in Tehran to end terrorist activities, corruption & their disregard for human rights."

> .@POTUS & I stand w/ peaceful protestors in Iran who are speaking out for freedom & we condemn the arrests of innocents. The time has come for the regime in Tehran to end terrorist activities, corruption, & their disregard for human rights. #IranProtests https://t.co/PcZMk07RcB

> — Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) December 30, 2017

Yesterday, President Trump tweeted "Big protests in Iran. The people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism. The USA is watching very closely for human rights violations!"

> Big protests in Iran. The people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism. Looks like they will not take it any longer. The USA is watching very closely for human rights violations!

> — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 31, 2017

In a later tweet, Trump accused Iran of 'numerous violations of human rights,' and commented on the disruption to social media, saying it 'has now closed down the Internet so that peaceful demonstrators cannot communicate. Not good! As The Daily Mail reports, Iranian President Rouhani dismissed Trump's comments.

> 'This man who today in America wants to sympathise with our people has forgotten that a few months ago he called the nation of Iran terrorist.

> 'This person whose whole being is against the nation of Iran has no right to feel pity for the people of Iran.'

Somewhat interesting are the specific mentions of "corruption" and "human rights violations" in light of the Executive Order Trump issued the week before those tweets which allows for the freezing of US-housed assets of foreign individuals or entities deemed "serious human rights abusers," along with government officials and executives of foreign corporations (current or former) found to have engaged in corruption - which includes the misappropriation of state assets, the expropriation of private assets for personal gain, and corruption related to government contracts or the extraction of natural resources.

Of note, anyone in the United States who aids or participates in said corruption or human rights abuses by foreign parties is subject to frozen assets - along with any U.S. corporation who employs foreigners deemed to have engaged in corruption on behalf of the company.

Might there be (or have been) a corresponding freezing of the assets belonging to Iran-linked individuals or entities in the United States on the horizon?

Have any D.C. lobbyists done work on behalf of Iranian interests which may be deemed corrupt?

Meanwhile, twitter user Strategic Sentinel has posted an unverified flight map of what appear to be a "large amount of aircraft leaving Iran at the moment, many with no callsign, origin, or destination" adding "Exodus in progress?"

It's surprising how these "peaceful" regime change protests keep getting out of hand, although - connected to that - it's a change to see Adam Schiff agree with President Trump and Mike Pence on something.

For those that are not in the know, the CIA overthrew the elected government of Mosaddegh.

In declassified document, CIA acknowledges role in '53 Iran coup...

Many Iranians regard Mosaddegh as the leading champion of secular democracy and resistance to foreign domination in Iran's modern history. Mosaddegh was removed from power in a coup on 19 August 1953, organised and carried out by the CIA at the request of MI6, which chose Iranian General Fazlollah Zahedi to succeed Mosaddegh.[10]

THen came the Shah. And then the Ayatollahs and now...

Mosaddegh's crime.

An author, administrator, lawyer, and prominent parliamentarian, his administration introduced a range of progressive social and political reforms such as social security and land reforms, including taxation of the rent on land. His government's most notable policy, however, was the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry, which had been under British control since 1913 through the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC/AIOC) (later British Petroleum and BP).[9]

The Americans have been backing the wrong team for too long. I guess it all stems from the weird protestants who set the place up. America needs a 3rd revolution following on from Jefferson Davis' failed coup in the 1860's and the 1770's crazy gang. Perhaps an Hispanic colonel called Gomez can start one and show the gringos how it's done.

The "weird protestants" you speak of were only part of the people who set the thing up. They were puritans, the same ones who helped Cromwell murder the King and opened the gates for the "jews" to take over England.

Jefferson Davis did not have an attempted coup. That is preposterous. He didn't even support secession himself, but as a Senator of Mississippi, had to follow what his State wanted. He was then elected as President of the States who reasserted their independence.

There was a revolution though, but it was by the Federalists, who wanted to subjugate the States and people under a more powerful, militarized "Federal Union", rather than the Republic of Sovereign States that had existed. The Constitution was already breached and several States chose to form a new Confederacy where the Constitution would be followed. They didn't all up and leave, but gradually separated from the federal regime that now no longer served as the government defined in the Constitution. Some of the States only left after the Federal regime attacked them, when they had not seceded at all.

The States were under direct military occupation and control for over a decade after the war, during which time the new "Federal Union" passed Amendments to the "constitution", which were never properly ratified, since several States were not under a Republican form of government as required by the Constitution.

The whole nature of the united States of America changed. They instituted a Federal education control in 1867 to re-educated the population, to bring up the next generations under delusion, and to wipe the crime away and to package it in a neat little propaganda tidbit called "Lincoln freed the slaves". Nonsense.

This really looks like a repeat of the Ukraine sniper story.

The protesters themselves must be really stupid to think that their lives are any more valuable than Syrians, Ukrainians, Libyans, and more.

By falling for whatever story the NWO spit up they allowed themselves to become expendable pawns.

Rinse, repeat.

And how could that many planes get organized to fly out at once and not have an accident along the way?

Who flew the planes, who was aboard, where did they land, and how could they get boarded and take off without any communication with the tower?

Planes are too big to hide and these were designated for a while, and had to be in the right place at the right time.

This must have been a plan in the works for a long time.

If Langley gets busted one more time being mixed up in something like this they really need to get shut down.

It would be nice if we could help the Iranians have a colour revolution so they can enjoy democracy a la .....Iraq.

Need I continue?

At what point do people actually admit that Freedom For Democracy is actually Freedom FROM democracy? At what point do people admit that the biggest tyrant, killer and all around bad guy, is the one fomenting the colour revolutions?

Now do you see why "everyone" on Zerohedge supports the Iranian "regime" as opposed to the sudden, miraculously timed uprising? It's because we don't want yet more millions to die. It turns out that the bleeding-heart liberal do-gooder types are alive and well, and post on ZH, trying to stop another round of death and destruction.

Well, not trying to stop it, so much as point out the futility of it all, and the hypocrisy, and the lies and deceit, and the propaganda, and the vested interests, and the trolls paid by governments to pretend that killing people is good, etc.

There is absolutely no room for comparison.
And the proof of that is that so many Iranians want to immigrate to the west, whereas very few Americans want to live in Iran...

However, Iranian Jews prefer to live there than racist apartheid Israel.

Yes bomb some freedumb into Iran so they can eat chicken McShitlets. Many Iranians come to USA are Persian Jews traveling for the welfare and scamming opportunities, as Khamenei knows their tricks

We don't even have freedom to keep the 3rd world from raping our own wives and daughters. How can we get excited about freedom for other countries when we see our own freedom is just a smokescreen for ZOG control?

You live in the one nation that ZOG wants to survive, so of course you think this kind of "freedom" is great.

So you are saying they do have US style Democracy.

There are no elections in the US. It's all a sham. See Alabama and Non Verifiable Electronic Voting Machines!

No free elections in the US? So how do you explain the Trump presidency, who obviously was not the choice of the establishment?
Again, I don't deny that America has its problems, and that civil liberties are quickly being eroded, but you can still eat, drink and have sex with whomever you choose. In Iran alcohol is illegal. Having sex outside on marriage is illegal. Woman are obliged to cover themselves in public. Gay men are either put to death or forced to undergo sex change surgery (don't believe me? google it!).

It's not so obvious that Trump wasn't establishment. The man has been part of the establishment for years. The narrative of him being anti-establishment came out of thin air, created by "media magic". He has served the zionists for years, and still does, he has a golden tower in Jew York City. He has been in the media from spots on television shows, to "reality tv", to wrestling. He has made a business of selling himself.

You equate partaking in vice as freedom, which is a false premise.

Of course, you are a homosexual from the zionist "jewish state", so it's no surprise you'd want to destroy any nation that doesn't join the Pharisee's mob.

So thats why we must act now to effect another regime change war that will bankrupt the US on behalf of Apartheid Israel.

Israel is such a great place to live for Palestinians as Israel commits genocide and apartheid, BRUTALLY upon an indigenous people??

I think not. Take care of your OWN yard before you tell someone else how to mow theirs.

Israel is a CANCER upon the world and perhaps regime change in Israel is what's needed

You are also describing Isreal and US ally Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia also has no elections, it is a Kingdom. It is open and obvious for anyone who cares to see that what we are doing in Iran has to do with the interests of the oligarchs, and nothing to do with the interests of the people of Iran. If it were otherwise, the US and Isreal would not be sucking Saudi cock while trying to sell war in Iran because of human rights issues.
