An Iranian man named "Kazem" told Iran International he was forced by IRGC to aid a deadly crackdown in Tehran on Jan. 8-9, 2026, amid protests following a Pahlavi call. He described "hunting leaders" via infiltrators and rooftop snipers targeting protesters, herding crowds into kill zones, with no arrests intended. Bodies, including ~200 children's, were loaded into Mihan ice cream trucks; he witnessed looting of a girl's corpse. Estimates: 1,800+ killed. Claims unverified by authorities; Amnesty/Reuters confirm past sniper use. Families allegedly paid to retrieve bodies.

In a development that reads like a spy thriller, reports are emerging that Brigadier General Esmail Qaani — head of Iran's elite Quds Force and the most senior IRGC commander still standing after Operation Epic Fury — has been arrested and possibly executed on charges of treason. The accusation stems from a pattern that has become impossible to ignore: Qaani was absent from every major strike that killed Iran's top leadership, including the IDF operation that destroyed Khamenei's underground bunker with 50 fighter jets and ended the Supreme Leader's life. Known as "The Man With Nine Lives," Qaani's extraordinary survival record has apparently exhausted Tehran's patience. Meanwhile the war continues to widen — Israel is striking Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut's southern suburbs, Iran has reportedly blown up Bahrain's largest petrol refinery, and the US is actively working to sink what remains of Iran's navy.

🚨 فوری | ترور در تهران، حذف هدفمند مقامات ارشد و صدور مجوز جدید برای هدف‌گیری محمدباقر قالیباف!

آخرین تحولات در خاورمیانه حاکی از آن است که جنگ میان ایران، اسرائیل و ایالات متحده آمریکا وارد مرحله‌ای بی‌سابقه شده است. صبح چهارشنبه گزارش‌های فوری از تهران منتشر شد که نشان می‌دهد اسماعیل خطیب، وزیر اطلاعات جمهوری اسلامی، در جریان یک عملیات هدفمند کشته شده است. این حمله که با دقت اطلاعاتی بالا انجام شد، نشان می‌دهد که اسرائیل وارد مرحله‌ای شده که دیگر صرفاً زیرساخت‌ها یا نیروهای نظامی را هدف نمی‌گیرد، بلکه مقامات ارشد و ستون‌های قدرت جمهوری اسلامی نیز در معرض حمله مستقیم هستند.

همزمان، گزارش‌ها حاکی از صدور «مجوز فوری» برای هدف‌گیری محمدباقر قالیباف توسط ارتش اسرائیل است. این مجوز به معنای آغاز یک مرحله بی‌وقفه و شدید از عملیات‌های هدفمند علیه مقامات کلیدی ایران است. تحلیلگران معتقدند هدف این اقدامات فقط حذف فیزیکی افراد نیست، بلکه ایجاد فشار روانی، فروپاشی تدریجی زنجیره فرماندهی و از بین بردن حس امنیت در بالاترین لایه‌های قدرت است.

در کنار ترور مقامات، اخبار تأسیسات حیاتی ایران نیز نگران‌کننده است:

حمله به تأسیسات بزرگ گازی در بوشهر با هماهنگی آمریکا

هدف‌گیری زیرساخت‌های حیاتی اقتصادی و نظامی

تحلیل تأثیر این حملات بر توان عملیاتی و لجستیکی جمهوری اسلامی

این ویدیو همچنین بررسی می‌کند که چگونه تصمیم اخیر بنیامین نتانیاهو برای صدور مجوز بی‌سابقه به ارتش اسرائیل، بدون نیاز به هماهنگی با وزیر دفاع یا دفتر نخست‌وزیری، می‌تواند روند حذف مقامات را تسریع کند و پیام واضحی به ساختار امنیتی ایران بدهد: «هیچ‌کس در امان نیست».

📌 موضوعات اصلی این ویدیو:

جزئیات ترور هدفمند اسماعیل خطیب

صدور مجوز جدید علیه محمدباقر قالیباف

حمله به زیرساخت‌های اقتصادی و انرژی ایران

تحلیل تغییر استراتژی اسرائیل و هماهنگی اطلاعاتی با آمریکا

پیامدهای داخلی برای حکومت ایران و احتمال افزایش اعتراضات مردمی

بررسی اثرات روانی و سیاسی حذف مقامات ارشد بر تصمیم‌گیری و ثبات رژیم

🔴 این ویدیو برای شما که می‌خواهید آخرین اخبار فوری، تحلیل لحظه‌ای و تحولات امنیتی در ایران و منطقه را دنبال کنید، ضروری است. با تماشای این ویدیو، متوجه می‌شوید که چرا کارشناسان معتقدند که این اقدامات می‌توانند نقطه عطفی در وضعیت امنیت و سیاست داخلی ایران باشند و چگونه فاز جدید جنگ روانی و عملیاتی علیه جمهوری اسلامی آغاز شده است.

💡 لطفاً ویدیو را لایک، اشتراک‌گذاری و سابسکرایب کنید تا از آخرین اخبار فوری، تحلیل‌ها و تحولات منطقه‌ای مطلع شوید.

At least 30 people, including two children, are at risk of execution in Iran following the January 2026 uprising, according to Amnesty International. The rights group says eight individuals were sentenced to death in February after what it describes as fast-tracked and grossly unfair trials, with others facing charges such as “enmity against God”. Amnesty has raised concerns over alleged torture and forced confessions, urging authorities to halt the executions. Amid mounting pressure, exiled prince Reza Pahlavi has called on Shia Muslims to reclaim their faith from political control and unite across sectarian lines against the ruling establishment.

Despite a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, tensions remain high. At a memorial event at Mount Herzl, Defence Minister Israel Katz warned that Naim Qassem would “pay with his head”, signalling continued military action against Hezbollah. Israel says operations in southern Lebanon will carry on despite the truce, aiming to remove threats near its border. The ceasefire, brokered by Donald Trump, appears increasingly fragile as both sides remain on edge.

In the final hours before a ceasefire took effect in Lebanon, Israel launched a major escalation, striking around 300 Hezbollah targets in a single day and killing over 150 operatives, according to the IDF. Among those killed was Ali Reza Abbas, the commander of Hezbollah’s Bint Jbeil sector in southern Lebanon and a veteran figure linked to Iran-trained networks, marking the fourth time Israel has eliminated someone in that same command role since Operation Northern Arrows began in 2024. His death, confirmed after circulating on Lebanese social media, adds to what Israel says is a wider toll of more than 1,800 Hezbollah operatives killed during the conflict, underscoring the scale of damage to the group’s military structure as a fragile ceasefire now holds.
