The world — and the Iranian protestors — are waiting to see if Trump’s threat was empty, or if he plans to follow through on it in any way with any kind of action against the Islamic Republic.
“Iranian doctors say hundreds killed in protests, hospitals in Tehran enter crisis mode – report,” by Tobias Holcman, Jerusalem Post, January 10, 2026:
Hundreds of people were reportedly killed during the ongoing protests in Iran, according to Iranian doctors who spoke to Time magazine and the BBC.
The Time report mentioned that a doctor from Tehran, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated that Iranian hospitals have recorded some 217 protesters killed since the protests began two weeks ago.
According to the doctor, most of the victims were killed by live ammunition, and authorities are removing the deceased from the hospitals.
The BBC report assured that two other doctors reported critical situations in the Iranian capital, with hospitals going into crisis mode and not enough surgeons to cope with the influx of patients.
The first doctor, who contacted the BBC via the Starlink satellite internet service, said that Farabi Hospital, Tehran’s main eye treatment center, was overwhelmed with wounded patients and had gone into crisis mode.
Another medic from a hospital in the southwest city of Shiraz told the BBC on Thursday that a large number of people were brought into the hospital, many of them with gunshot wounds, and that the hospital didn’t have enough manpower to treat everyone.
The Time report also mentioned that one of the deadliest events was recorded on Friday night, after at least 30 people were killed outside a northern Tehran police station when security forces sprayed machine gun fire at protesters….

Could be right. The 42 number that has been going around sounds pretty low
There does seem to be a news blackout from Iran, and nobody knows who really finally has the upper hand there. Hope it clears up

Something like 2000 people have been killed in the past 48 hours, and now President Trump has said that he is ready to help. Hopefully, destroy all IRGC/Basij comms, as well as destroy a few of their major bases in Tehran, as well as the building from which Iranian TV operates. If the protesters can’t access the internet, the regime shouldn’t be able to get its word out either

Those callous cruel massacres committed against the Iranian civilians who had been justly and rightly protesting against that horrific Islamic tyrannical regime that is oppressive brutal and death inflecting was horrendously evil . That mass murder alone proves that the claim that the “Republic of Iran “ with its religion is very wicked .
So much so that it revealed the truth written by Arab scholar who used to live in the Middle East, For she exposes in her book written back in the year 2008 that “Control of If believer and disregard for human life are hey elements in Islamic ideology.” [1]
Those unconscionable actions order to murder so many people by those despots of the terror state is keeping within the diabolically malicious character of ayatollah, mullah who have so much bloody demonic power in that Islamic tyranny.
Furthermore, it should be made known that if the founder of the current Islamic tyranny ,Ayatollah Khomeini would still be alive today ,he would spit on those Westerners who say that “Islam is a non-violent religion.”
If Ayatollah Khomeini had clearly announced that “Those who know nothing about Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war….There are hundreds psalms and hadiths urging of Muslims to value war and to fight. …I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” [1] So if he was alive today who would spit on those Westerners who say that “Islam is a non-violent religion.” [2]
There are also many places in the Qu ‘ran that instruct in violence and killing for the cause of Islam.
As found in ,for example Surah 2:191. 4:89.. 5:33. 9:5, 111,112 ,123. 47:4.
Furthermore, related to this is Subject concerning the hospitals of Iran , A young Iranian woman who now lives in an American city that I used to live in, had that city’s newspaper, she wrote an article how she and her mother had returned from visiting her sick and dying grandmother in the hospital in Tehran in Iran In that article this young women explained that the medical and health care in Iran’s hospitals is so terrible that the people of Iran view hospitals s place that people go to not get better but to die.
The second point is brought up is that the mullahs and ayatollahs as well as others in power in this Islamic tyranny Iran will not invest those news funds from, Obama and Kerry, in better health care in hospitals but instead use that money to engage in more support for brutal and murderous militant jihad organizations For those tyrants in power in Iran don’t care, at all, about the Iranian people. They are only interested in furthering their mad jihad Islamic quest.

It is time to help the Iranian people. The amount of firepower again5 civilians is increasing. The geopolitical gains from the removal of the mullahs is exponential.

Yeah, we should do what we (wrongly) did in Libya in 2011, and bomb some major IRGC bases in Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad,… Also destroy the main Iranian TV building in Tehran, so that the regime can no longer broadcast. Also, destroy all the regime comms, and let them face the people on their own, w/o instructions from Khamenei
tgusa says
Both of you are right! If there ever was a time in modern history to stand up and be counted it is now. We Americans have spent so much time doing the wrong thing it is about time we spend some time doing the right thing.
tgusa says
Unlike the Madero raid I dont think we have a plan for this. The Iranian people coming out tom prorest in such large numbers was too quick and unexpected to have gone through a planning stage. So this is a situation where we have to think quick to come up with a plan while not making any mistakes. When we are dealing with life and death, win or lose, successful or unsuccessful, within the US military, that is not easy to do.

The only off the top of my head plan that i can think of is, create dysfunction and disarray among the regime loyalists anywhere and everywhere we can.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I think that the Iranians are already doing that – forcing IRGC members to choose which side they want to be on. There have already been a lot of defections, but there are still plenty of IRGC people remaining to massacre thousands of people
tgusa says
President Trump (Mr. Unpredictable) has been chiming in here and there in support of the super majority of Iranians that are protesting. I dont know if our President will do anything but in light of the Madero thing that just happened the regime leaders must not be sleeping very well.
tgusa says
The word is the regime is bringing in help from muslim a-holes from other countries to shoot and kill Iranian citizen protesters within their own country. Hmm…That sounds like what Europe has been doing but with guns.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Mainly from Iraq, which would be the sole surviving shi’a country left once this Iranian regime falls. However, the number of such fighters are in the hundreds, but nowhere near enough to keep the regime afloat. It’s different from previous occasions, when Hizbullah could send thousands of fighters to back the ayatollahs
truth says
I’m a die hard Israel supporter but i’m American first and America is dying. What trump needs to do is fix america and stop being the world’s police. i know a lot of you will disagree with that but we americans are sick and tired of war and sick and tired of billions/trillions being spent when we have So many problems here at home. Trump needs to send troops to every city and remove all third scum who will not assimilate. After that we need deeps state arrests, you know the main thing trump promised. If america was healthy and thriving i’d think totally different about his but it’s not. We should just arm isreal with what they need to do this themselves, i have confidence in them.

He is doing what’s needed to fix America. As for the economy, the widespread adaption of AI is what is hindering a recovery this time, unlike 2017. Anyway, he has made energy inexpensive enough to enable the cost of products to go down, so that inflation is less of an issue. On deportations, he’s doing a great job, and yeah, the Somalis have to be deported, be it from MN, ME, OH or VA. On immigration, he’s completely changed the climate: few foreigners are now interested in coming here, which is how we want it. Also, he has purged a lot of the deep state, but note that in Congress, particularly the House, the GOP has a very thin majority
On Iran, what’s being asked for is pretty minimal: that we bomb IRGC targets so that they are less capable of massacring their citizens. If we don’t wanna do that, at least give Israel the go-ahead to do it. Regardless of whether it’s done by US or Israel, the effort involved is minimal and wouldn’t involve any boots on the ground. Once that’s done, the Iranians can take care of everything beyond that
