The crackdown is specifically intended to block any possibility of regime change in the direction of secularism and free society.
Recently, frontrunners to rule the Islamic Republic emerged, as regime officials discussed possible successors to Khamenei. At the top of the list are the offspring of two supreme leaders: Ayatollah Khamenei’s 56-year-old son Mojtaba Khamenei, and Hassan Khomeini, the 53-year-old grandson of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini — the architect of the Islamic revolution in Iran. To ensure the survival of the Shia regime, the crackdown has begun, because regime officials know that Iran’s Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has a transition plan in place if Khamenei falls.
Freedom activists in the country are now “lying low,” and this is exactly what regime thugs intended.
“Iran intensifies internal security crackdown with executions and mass arrests,” Reuters, June 25, 2025:
Iranian authorities are pivoting from a ceasefire with Israel to intensify an internal security crackdown across the country with mass arrests, executions and military deployments, particularly in the restive Kurdish region, according to officials and activists.
Within days of Israel’s airstrikes beginning on 13 June, Iranian security forces started a campaign of widespread arrests accompanied by an intensified street presence based around checkpoints.
Some in Israel and exiled opposition groups had hoped the military campaign, which targeted Revolutionary Guards and internal security forces as well as nuclear sites, would spark a mass uprising and the overthrow of the Islamic Republic.
While numerous Iranians expressed anger at the government, there has been no sign yet of any significant protests against the authorities. However, one senior Iranian security official and two other senior officials briefed on internal security issues said the authorities were focused on the threat of possible internal unrest, particularly in Kurdish areas.
Revolutionary Guard and Basij paramilitary units were put on alert and internal security was now the primary focus, said the senior security official.
The official said authorities were worried about Israeli agents, ethnic separatists and the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, or MEK (Mujahedin-e Khalq), an exiled opposition group once designated as a terrorist organisation by the US and UK.
Activists within the country are lying low…..

Smugglers can smuggle anything into any country. unless the opposition is serious in overthrowing the islamic regime, the Iranians are deluded that the West will go all the way to sending troops.

This renewed intensified malicious Islamic brutal repression of the Iranian people for matters of “security reasons” is further proof that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.” This crackdown, which results on many arrests with mass execution, as wicked as it is , is yet really nothing new for the that Islamic brutal cruel oppressive and deadly Islamic tyranny is keeping within the diabolical nature of that “mullah regime” of Iran.
For very beginning a horrendous violation of the most basic human rights of the Iranian, people.
Furthermore, that Islamic tyranny of Iran is based in the foundation of false and empty promises. As well as lying words of Ayatollah Khomeini After power was achieved those fiendish Muslim clerics obtained total power in Iran they showed their true colors by having their Islamic state police who are called the “Revolutionary Guards truest the people on Iran in many heinously cruel and ruthless and murderous ways. As, for example, their brutal, callous misogyny against both girls and women. This thesis statement is explained, in some detail, by the following.
, That tyrannical Islamic regime in Iran that so falsely and inappropriately has the word “republic” in its title. It should be made known that this called the “Iranian Revolution” turned out to be a hoax. Ayatollah Khomeini before achieving power in Iran in his lying and deceptions presented himself to the Iranian people as if he was someone who would be in power would give freedom to the people of Iran with any tyranny. The reality turned out to be just the opposite.
As explained by a former Muslim as well as a man who took part in this Islamic “revolution “ ,who is now a Christian informs the reader of his book that “Prior to the Revolution no one ever imagined that other political parties would be suppressed under the rule of Ayatollah Khomeini. He had promised that all groups would have freedom to run their own campaigns after the Revolution. He even stated that governing system would be based on the decision of the people via a referendum. He never spoke of a system that would be governed by Islam. He even made clear that mullahs would not take part in any political activities, and that they would only be allowed to teach spirituality… Immediately after the Revolution, mullahs rushed into government offices to occupy the most important political l positions, making it difficult for the interim secular government to function … The mullah’s occupation of position was exactly the opposite to what the Ayatollah Khomeini had promised before the Revolution.”. [1]
In other words, the insincere, disingenuous and outright lying Ayatollah Khomeini made many bogus promise he really had no intention of keeping. His lying deception worked, for he achieved great power in Iran.
Furthermore, of the many heinously evils outcomes of that Islamic “revolution” is the extremely cruel, brutal and demonic misogyny of this hideous Islamic regime. Not only against women but even young girls.
As explained by a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard member who defected to the West and how now lives in America his book also informs the reader about the malicious and murderous affront girls in Iran’s Evin prison which reads that those in power ,the “paraded teenage girls in front in front of me as they led them to their deaths. These girls were barely out of their childhood, barely old enough to think of themselves, much less form thoughts against the state. They knew nothing about the machinations of politics. They were innocent in every sense of the word and certainty innocent of trumped –up charges that led to their imprisonment. Yet they suffered fates too brutal for even the most vicious criminal. ..Their few remaining moments of life had been filled with the level of abuse that few can imagine”
The author further states “They tortured and killed young girls, in God’s name and before their execution they raped them because they believed that if a girl dies virgin, she will go to heaven, and they wanted to deny them this reward.” [2]
This is as malice -filled cruel brutal oppressive malicious and murderous Islamic regime of Iran, since it took power in Iran it thrives on installing fear on the Iranian people.
First, the Bible reads, “All the days of the oppressed are wretched.” Proverbs 15:15. [N.I.V.]
Second, Benjamin Franklin had printed a very true statement in his periodical Poor Richard’s Almanac which may apply to that horrendous tyrannical regime of Iran. It’s “Those who are feared are also hated.”
One important this to understand that since that brutal .cruel oppressive and murderous Islamic regime of Iran was built on a bedrock of lies as well as false and empty and unkempt promises its footing is based on a foundation of sand, therefore the collapse of that hostile horrific and horrendous Islamic tyranny of Iran should be inevitable.

Westman says
Iran, once governed by royalty, now governed by “religious” thugs. A place where religion = brutality.
Ah, but for a return to the “Golden Age” which never was. We(Islam) could have built great merchant ships and ruled the seas – but you didn’t, just pirated. We had great renaissance thinkers and mathematicians – and the result was Islam killed it because it questioned Islam. We could have created the Industrial Revolution – but you didn’t. You spent your time sacking other societies, collecting booty, and eating up life’s potential 5 times a day.
It turns out the unseen physical world, not even mentioned in the Quran, held the keys to modern communication and the war technologies which drilled into Fordow. Yes, you have oil, its wealth, and can buy the latest technology and place it in the hands of state-controlled people. That’s dependency.
The Big Man and his henchmen now persecute the Iranian people – more hanging, more torture, the “beatings continuing until morale improves”. And there are more sick wannabe men(always men) lined up to be the next oppressor. It appears easy to justify evil with Islam, so many available would-be martyrs and indoctrinated superiority.
When reading of Allah’s intended brutal torture of the unbelievers it is quickly apparent it will require millions of willing helpers to staff the operation. What kind of person would volunteer? Khamenei?
It’s time for both the Regime and Islam to be exiled from Iran.
Wellington says
Very much on point comment, Westman, on the parasitic and desultory nature of Islam. What concerns me most is that the parasitic element in Islam, which has been extensive since its inception in the 7th century AD, can, and presently is, taking advantage of the freedoms the West developed in order to destroy those freedoms. It’s parasitism on steroids right now in so many Western nations, compliments of the worst religion of all time and aided by a bevy of highly foolish dhimmis.
Rufolino says
“Highly foolish” is an unstatement. “Mendacious”.
Walter Sieruk says
That heinously cruel and murderous Islamic tyranny of Iran is very brutal and vicious to the Iranian people. Especially regarding females. Both girls and women.
The murder of Mahsa Amini is very sad and tragic and that horrendous evil of her being murdered is because of the oppressive vicious brutal cruel and deadly misogynistic Islamic regime of Iran.
That action of male Muslim who are officials murdering defenseless, helpless women in cold blood is a heinous and hideous has occurred before and if that murderous Islamic regime isn’t overthrown such wicked killing will continue
Another example of such callous despicable heartless anti-female evil is when a teenage girl in Iran was talking to her boyfriend on the phone and then the Islamic state “police” walked over to her and shot her dead. They did that wicked and malicious thing to her because she was talking to her boyfriend and they also didn’t like her clothing. [1]
That was a clear cut case of murder and vicious Islamic madness by Iran’s Islamic state “ police”, who call themselves the “Revolutionary Guards”, they got away with their hideous and malice –filled evil because the mullahs as well as other villains in power in that tyrannical Islamic regime.

This is what the apologists for the Mullahs are *really* lauding.
Walter Sieruk says
About that Sharia based tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran which has the official title of “The Islamic Republic of Iran” and also about the chief and head Imam, Ayatollah Khomeini, who had a strong hand in establishing this so called “Republic “
The very actual essence of that Islamic tyranny, Ayatollah Khomeini, had made in known that “The Islamic Republic of Iran would be Islamic and nothing but .He declared ‘What the nation wants is an Islamic Republic. Not just a Republic, not a democratic Republic, not a democratic Islamic Republic. Do not use the word “democratic” to describe it. That is the Western style. ‘” [1]
Furthermore, that cruel and tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran regime has severely limited to an extreme much knowledge and wisdom from the outside world. This is because that fiendish and murderous ayatollahs and mullahs in power in Iran are very much afraid the Iranian people might discover different ideas. As the idea’s and philosophy of John Locke
For example, Locke views the people living under any genuine government are people retaining their individual rights after a government has been established to protect human rights. . In other words, the securing of their rights – the protection of the life, liberty and property of all – is the sole legitimate purpose of government. If a government begins to abuse those rights it then becomes tyrannical and the governed [the people] retain the right to overthrow that government and replace it with one that does its job properly.
So that heinous”mullah regime” of Iran, greatly fears such ideas and keeps the people under his hideous control of his tyranny in and the darkness of much limited information.

This is the kind of thing many want for NYC. And if the mozzy is elected, they’ll get it.
Just as MI has become so infested, and Texas has become a target (lots of money there for the moz crowd to live on without working for it), cities across the planet have been taken captive by those same kinds of scummy ghouls, they are after everything, and willing to murder everyone to get it.

Bomb and strafe the hell out of them. It is the humanitarian thing to do.

This is something that has happened after every uprising in Iran. Which is why it’s a shame that Trump put the skids on the Israelis destabilizing the islamic regime any further. Hopefully, there will be uprisings nationwide that totally overwhelm whatever “authorities” the Iranians have, and put the islamic regime out of their misery

“…it’s a shame that Trump put the skids on the Israelis destabilizing the islamic regime any further.”
I agree.
After the incredibly successful US B-2 bombing / submarine Tomahawk missiles, Israel should have been given the green light – without the US military involved directly.
