Field Reports: Rebellious Youth Shatter Regime Crackdown During Iran’s January Uprising
Despite the Iranian regime’s frantic efforts to conceal the scale of the nationwide uprising through severe internet blackouts and censorship, reports continue to leak out, revealing a volatile society determined to overthrow the religious dictatorship. New field reports, received with delay due to these disruptions, detail a week of intense confrontations in early January 2026, showing that the rebellious youth held their ground against heavily armed suppression forces.
The current wave of protests, which erupted on December 28, 2025, initially began as an economic stoppage by bazaari shopkeepers and merchants in central Tehran. Triggered by the rial’s sharp plunge, price spikes, and fears of bankruptcy, the movement quickly expanded geographically to hundreds of locations and socially to include universities, abd the messaging rapidly shifted. What began as livelihood grievances transformed into explicit chants for regime change.
Rebellious Youth Keep the Flame of Freedom Alive on Anniversary of 1979 Revolution
As the clerical regime attempted to stage its annual propaganda rituals marking the “Fajr Decade” and the 47th anniversary of the 1979 anti-monarchical revolution, the streets of Iran witnessed a different kind of fire. Across the country, the rebellious youth carried out 15 operations, targeting the regime’s symbols of repression and honoring the memory of those who fell for freedom.
In a resounding rejection of the ruling dictatorship, brave youths carried out a series of operations coinciding with the anniversary of the fall of the Shah’s regime. These actions were not only a defiance of the mullahs’ authority but a tribute to the martyrs of the recent nationwide uprising. The scope of these activities—spanning from north to south—signals that the spirit of the 1979 revolution, which sought to end dictatorship in all its forms, remains the driving force of the Iranian street today.
Esmat Najafi, A Female Prisoner, Executed in Qom Prison

Iran’s Regime Expands School Repression After Bloody January Crackdown
In the aftermath of the bloody January uprising, Iran’s clerical regime—fully aware of the political and social consequences of its violent crackdown—has turned to maximum intimidation to contain mounting public anger.
According to a report published on Thursday, February 12, 2026, by the Coordinating Council of Teachers’ Trade Associations of Iran, authorities have initiated what it describes as a “silent expansion of repression in schools following the nationwide January uprising.”
The report outlines what it calls a systematic national pattern. Schools, it warns, have increasingly become extensions of the state’s repressive apparatus. Individuals operating under the labels of Basij forces, religious propagandists, and plainclothes agents have entered educational institutions across the country.
Iranian Regime Official Rejects Zero Nuclear Enrichment
Majid Takht-Ravanchi, deputy foreign minister of Iran’s regime, announced that the Iranian government does not accept zero enrichment, but if the lifting of sanctions is placed on the agenda, it is ready to consider “compromise” in nuclear negotiations. Speaking on Sunday, February 15, in an interview with BBC World, Takht-Ravanchi said that if the United States is willing to engage in talks about lifting sanctions, Iran’s regime will consider compromise to reach a nuclear agreement.
He added that the ball is in America’s court to prove that it seeks an agreement. If they are sincere, I am confident we will move toward reaching a deal.
Iran’s Regime Arrests Nurses, Tries to Conceal the January Massacre
Following the January 8 and 9 massacre, a wave of arrests targeting nurses began in various cities across Iran. State-run media outlets have only made limited references to these arrests. Grassroots sources had previously reported that several nurses were detained for providing medical care to individuals injured during the protests. No official statistics have been released, and the legal status of those detained remains unclear. This ambiguity has raised serious questions.
According to remarks by Mohammad Sharifi-Moghaddam, Secretary-General of the Iranian Nurses House, published on February 11 by the state-run Tosee Irani news outlet, several nurses have been arrested in Tehran, Isfahan, and other cities. He emphasizes: “He does not have exact statistics. Calls from families and colleagues are his only source of information. The arrest of nurses has continued even in the days after the protests. Last week, a nurse working at a home nursing care center was also arrested at her residence.”
