Leaked Iran ‘Playbook’ Reveals Tehran Had Long Planned Its Bloodbath on Protesters, Resistance Group Say
WASHINGTON — Iran’s ruling clerics knew a nationwide revolt was coming — and plotted a brutal, premeditated crackdown months in advance, according to explosive new audio recordings and secret regime documents released Tuesday by the most prominent Iranian opposition group in the US.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran, whose intelligence first identified Iran’s nuclear program in 2002, said the Tehran regime coldly mapped out a mass slaughter of protesters — including orders to cut off the internet, unleash live fire on crowds, embed undercover agents in demonstrations and manipulate protest chants to weaken the uprising.
“This was not panic. This was a plan,” NCRI US Deputy Director Alireza Jafarzadeh told reporters at a briefing in Washington. “They anticipated a national uprising — and prepared to crush it.”
Leaked Documents Expose Khamenei’s Secret Deadly Blueprint for Crushing Iran Protests
Leaked documents from the Iranian regime reveal a coordinated plan by its security apparatus, approved by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to violently suppress nationwide protests using force, surveillance and internet shutdowns.
Excerpts of the documents, reviewed by Fox News Digital, show that Iran’s Supreme National Security Council developed the strategy after the 2019 nationwide protests that came amid fuel price hikes and economic collapse.
At a National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) press briefing Tuesday covering the regime’s pre-planned orders behind the protests and mass killings, Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the Washington office, said the documents “were obtained from within the regime” and later cited The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) as having gained access to them.
“This Directive by the National Security Council was obtained by the network in Iran of the MEK, which has access to sources within the regime,” he confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Iran Protests: Students In Mashhad Honor Martyrs as Regime Officials Warn Of ‘Historical Turn’
On Tuesday, February 3, 2026, protests continued in Iran, with students honoring the martyrs of the recent uprising. While the courageous youth of Iran continue their defiance, the regime’s top officials are openly acknowledging the severity of the crisis, describing the situation as a “historical turn” and admitting to the existence of “complex problems” that threaten the system’s survival. Internationally, the regime faces growing isolation as Australia imposes a new round of targeted sanctions against the IRGC and senior officials responsible for the brutal crackdown on the Iranian people.
Students at Mashhad Azad University Commemorate Faezeh Hossein-Nejad
On Tuesday, February 3, a group of students at Mashhad Azad University held a memorial ceremony and protest gathering to honor the memory of Faezeh Hossein-Nejad, one of the victims of Iran’s nationwide uprising in January 2026 and a 2023 entrant in the midwifery program. The gathering was organized in protest against the violent suppression of nationwide protests and served as a reminder of the pivotal role students have played in recent uprisings.

Paris Exhibition Supports Iran Uprising and Calls for Berlin Free Iran Demo on Feb 7

Criminalizing the Hippocratic Oath in Iran
In the course of the January 2026 nationwide uprising, the fundamental principle of “Medical Neutrality” and the sanctity of the Hippocratic Oath have been severely violated by the security forces of the Iran’s regime. Reliable reports, statements from international bodies, and even admissions by domestic officials indicate that medical centers have been transformed into battlefields. Physicians and healthcare workers have been targeted for arrest, torture, and harsh judicial sentences solely for performing their inherent duty to save human lives. This report examines the legal and field dimensions of this crackdown. Despite the regime’s efforts to conceal the extent of the repression, statements from officials of the Medical Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRIMC) confirm the occurrence of widespread arrests.
Your Social Media May Be Lying to You
What if the online crowd you see every day on your social media isn’t real? What if the loudest voices shaping political debates, social movements, and even your own opinions are not people at all—but carefully engineered digital artifacts? This is not a dystopian thought experiment. It is the core finding of a major cyber-forensic investigation conducted by Treadstone 71, based on years of data and tens of millions of social-media records. The report reveals how modern influence operations don’t just persuade audiences—they manufacture the appearance of public consensus, often without users realizing it. And once you understand how it works, it becomes hard to look at social media the same way again.
Australia Sanctions 20 Iranian Officials, Three IRGC Entities Over Protests Crackdown
The Australian government, in response to the brutal and widespread crackdown on popular protests in Iran, imposed new sanctions against 20 senior officials and three entities affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Iranian regime’s powerful military-security force. Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs announced in a statement that the country has implemented targeted financial sanctions in response to the Iranian regime’s brutal use of violence against its own citizens. According to the statement, the new sanctions list includes some of the highest-ranking security, military, and law enforcement officials of the Iranian regime, including commanders of the IRGC and the Law Enforcement Force, senior intelligence officials, as well as members of the IRGC’s cyber and extraterritorial units.
Khamenei’s “Coup” Narrative: A Semantic Cover for Mass Repression
Why labeling the January 2026 uprising a “coup” exposes the Iranian regime’s political and moral bankruptcy. In his February 1 remarks to a handpicked audience of regime loyalists, Iran regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei deliberately described the January 2026 uprising as a “coup.” The choice of this word was neither accidental nor rhetorical excess. It was a calculated effort to erase the popular nature of the uprising and to whitewash the regime’s mass killings by reversing the roles of perpetrator and victim. But can the eruption of a society pushed to the brink—ordinary people storming the symbols of repression—be credibly described as a coup? The answer, by any political or analytical standard, is no.
