Iran Uprising 2026: The Beginning of the End for the Regime
The Iranian uprising that began on 28 December 2025 has shown a level of bravery that has inspired awe and admiration worldwide. It differs sharply from previous uprisings for two key reasons: it has been organised, enabling rapid expansion across hundreds of cities and thousands of locations in a short time, and it has been openly confrontational. Rebellious youth and Resistance Units have been directing protests and clashing with heavily armed security forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to defend people in the streets. This has included pushing back the IRGC, disarming some of them, setting fire to government centres and vehicles, and in some cases holding parts of Iranian cities for many hours.
At the core of this mobilisation is the resistance network linked to the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI/MEK), which has played a decisive role in mobilising protesters, coordinating actions, and sustaining momentum when the state has relied on mass killings, arrests, and fear to crush dissent. Many have been killed while defending demonstrators, including Naeem Abdollahi, 34, a university professor, and Zahra Bohlouli Pour, 18, a university student. In Persian, this network is known as Kanoon haye Shooreshi, or Resistance Units.

Blood And Fire in Lordegan: New Reports Reveal Scale of Regime’s Brutality and Heroic Resistance of Rebellious Youth
Despite the Iranian regime’s frantic efforts to conceal the scale of the nationwide uprising through severe internet blackouts and a suffocating news blockade, reports continue to leak out, revealing a volatile society determined to overthrow the religious dictatorship. New field reports obtained from the city of Lordegan detail a week of intense confrontations in early January 2026, showing that the rebellious youth are holding their ground against heavily armed suppression forces. While the regime has tried to portray a calm situation by cutting off communications, the reality on the ground tells a different story: one of war bullets against unarmed citizens and fearless retaliation by the youth against the symbols of the mullahs’ plunder.
Iran: Systematic Crackdown on Doctors and Medical Personnel Following January 2026 Protests
In the aftermath of the nationwide protests of January 2026 in Iran, the clerical regime turned hospitals into instruments of repression and killing: deliberately cutting off ventilators, blocking medical treatment for the wounded, abducting patients from hospital beds and even operating rooms, firing execution-style shots at injured protesters, and carrying out systematic crackdown on doctors and medical staff who sought to save lives, acts that constitute crimes against humanity and a flagrant violation of all ethical and legal standards. Numerous reports from cities across Iran indicate that regime security forces, both during the protests and after their apparent subsidence, repeatedly raided hospitals. During these raids, doctors and nurses who had treated injured protesters were threatened, interrogated, or arrested, actions that constitute a clear violation of fundamental principles of medical ethics and international human rights standards.

Child-Killing Under the Guise of Security in Iran
The nationwide uprising of January 2026 in Iran marks a dark turning point in the history of human rights violations, characterized not only by the scale of the protests but also by the unprecedented brutality of suppressive forces against the most vulnerable segments of society. This report provides a legal and statistical analysis of the killing of children and adolescents under the age of 18—a crime whose documentation reveals a “systematic pattern” for the physical elimination of protesters, regardless of age. Ali Khamenei and high-ranking regime officials utilized hostile rhetoric, labeling protesters as “agents of a coup,” “terrorists,” and “mercenaries of the enemy.” This deliberate labeling aimed to strip citizens of their legal protections and provide implicit authorization for the “elimination of dissidents.” When the highest political authority of a country characterizes the protests of adolescents and students as “hybrid warfare,” it effectively grants field forces carte blanche to exercise lethal violence against children. Within this security paradigm, even a three-year-old child or an infant is perceived not as an innocent citizen, but as part of a “subversive project,” thereby rendering the deprivation of their right to life as “legitimate.”
They Shot a Civilian Car with War Weapons — Sepahr Ganjeh
On the night of January 8, 2026, Isfahan felt unusually quiet. Winter had emptied the streets early, and most people had already retreated indoors. Sepahr Ganjeh was not protesting that night. He was not chanting, filming, or confronting anyone. He was simply driving a friend home, expecting to return shortly to a dinner his father had kept warm. He never made it back. Sepahr, 32, was an automotive engineer, a graduate of Azad University in Isfahan, and the kind of son whose daily routines were deeply tied to his family’s life. His parents were renters, and he had been carefully saving money to buy them a small apartment—something modest, but permanent. Stability mattered to him. So did being home on time.
Plans for Iran Nuclear Talks Falter Over Dispute on Format and Venue
Plans for renewed nuclear talks between the United States and Iran are at risk of collapse following a disagreement over the location and structure of the negotiations, according to U.S. officials cited by Axios. The talks had been scheduled for Friday in Istanbul, with other Middle Eastern countries participating as observers. However, Iranian officials informed Washington on Tuesday that they wanted the meeting moved to Oman and limited to a bilateral format focused exclusively on nuclear issues. U.S. officials said Washington rejected those demands on Wednesday. A senior U.S. official told Axios that Iran responded by walking away from the talks. “We told them it is this or nothing, and they said, ‘Ok, then nothing,’” the official said.
Armed Resistance: Iran Regime’s Unspoken Nightmare
As the appetite for direct confrontation with the IRGC grows, panic has spread among both regime insiders and its peripheral loyalists. The prospect of young Iranians turning to weapons and the expansion of organized resistance cells has shaken the ruling establishment. What once appeared unthinkable is now openly discussed—sometimes by the regime’s own heirs. On January 31, Hassan Khomeini, grandson of the regime’s founder, stood at his father’s grave and referenced a letter written by Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani to Ruhollah Khomeini during Khomeini’s Najaf exile period. He quoted Rafsanjani’s analysis of why the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) were attracting supporters, stating that their appeal stemmed from taking up arms—before adding that Khomeini opposed armed struggle from the very beginning with shah’s regime fearing its consequences.
