BREAKING: Iran’s Judiciary Chief admits the regime lied to Trump—and vows mass executions.
Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei: “We will rapidly sentence the ‘terrorists’ [protesters] and punish them. The speed of punishment is of utmost importance.”

🛑 BREAKING: Ali Salehi, Tehran’s prosecutor, hit back at President Trump after he thanked the Islamic regime for not executing 800 protesters, rejecting any suggestion that punishments had been cancelled.

The president would have done well to have acquainted himself with the Shi’ite doctrine of taqiyya, and its importance in the dealings of the Islamic Republic with other states. But many people around him would likely have dismissed such an idea as “Islamophobic” and counterproductive to the imperative of making a deal.
Instead, he repeated Iranian claims credulously:
REPORTER: “Did Arab and Israeli officials convince you to not strike Iran?”

Like I noted yesterday, rule-of-law doesn’t exist in that country. They can arrest someone for crime A that has an imprisonment sentence, alter the classification of that crime to one that has the death sentence, and fast-track it to executions
At this point, I’d hope that Israel intervenes, ignoring any cuss words from Trump. Deny him the “credit” of toppling the regime, something he doesn’t wanna do anyway

Iran carried out at least 52 executions during protests, rights group says
https://www.iranintl.com/en/202601163543
This is aside from the people who’ve been massacred
Also, there are other reports that the IRGC is using chemical weapons on demonstrators, and also, that they’ve been pulling IRGC foreign agents from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq to back up their forces in Iran
GE says
My comment didn’t post yesterday, but Trump is a sucker if he believes a word out of the mullahs’ mouths—(imho)
somehistory says
GE, I saw your comment yesterday. I’m guessing your comment was just delayed.
GE says
Thanks somehistory. I went back and looked and it was there.
I forget that we are all in different time zones!
somehistory says
I’m glad you could see it, GE.
Sometimes it seems that I’m the first to comment on a thread, but then one shows up later, with a time stamp earlier than mine.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
It did. A lot of comments are delayed, although the last few days, the first comment that I post in a session (after several hours) sometimes posts instantly
I agree w/ your comment
Stive says
If mass murder happens in Iran then add this to the warp speed millions of death and disabled and infertile, trump in hind sight will go down in history with mao, Adolph, Stalin, pol pot as one of the greatest mass murderers of history.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Oh yeah, Khamenei’s name certainly belongs there alongside, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler and Deng Xiaoping. Only thing about Hitler: his name has been so overused by Leftists that I no longer bother using it when talking about genocides: it’s been rendered meaningless!
rick says
So now it’s a question of mass executions. If they happen then maybe Trump will decide in favor of bombing. But if the mullahs threaten mass executions then don’t worry about it and just wait and see. Playing with the lives of Iranians it would seem to me. Better for Trump to say “We will bomb you now but just a little and if that makes you carry out mass executions, then the real bombing will begin.”
What more does Trump need to do America’s part in getting rid of this cancerous mullah regime?
Wellington says
Trump, quite simply, is not looking good through all of this. Perhaps he is engaging in some kind of subterfuge but this seems increasingly unlikely. Not sure what Trump is thinking but right now I am not optimistic and I don’t see how Iranian protesters against the regime can be either. Appears right now like a great opportunity lost. Hope I’m wrong.
Rick Gordon says
The western media – and of course the UN – don’t care as it doesn’t fit their world view.
somehistory says
The times when muzzies should be believed, are the times of threats, the times of hatred, the times of insults to their enemies.
No muzzie should ever be believed if he says he won’t be murdering, raping, and that he just wants to be free to live like everyone else
muzzies want to be allowed to lie, threaten, rape and murder without anyone telling them it’s wrong, it’s evil and that they have no right to do those things.
And muzzies will lie to the infidel if it means they can continue to spread their demon filth.
No one, especially not the president, should put any trust in what a muzzie has to say.
Walter Sieruk says
Murderous violence is that that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran is most effective in committing.
For example, a woman interviewed by the Epoch Times 1/20/26. A1, didn’t give an isolated report such murderous atrocities committed by the “security forces’ against the Iranians people has been confirmed by many other Iranians and other sources
The article reads” Nights in Tehran, Iran, are increasingly violent” an Iranian woman told that newspapers reporter, “She said the security forces often move through crowds on motorcycles firing indiscriminately . She said I n the morning she was bodies in public areas and bold on the streets.”
In addition, the article further reports, “the death resulted from coordinated operation carried out primarily by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Basij forces not from spontaneous clashes. Sources indicate that the operation was conducted under the direct orders from Ayatollah Khamenei.”
That wicked death –inflecting Khamenei and the other Islamic despots using their murdering criminals in uniform “security forces’ against the Iranian people who are justly and righteously revolting against that horrendously brutal cruel and deadly tyrannical Islamic regimes of Iran is outrageous and wrong.
Iranian people in the righteous quest for a genuine, legitimate government that respects and safeguard their basic human rights is a good worthy decent just very good cause.
Walter Sieruk says
Two of the despots of the Islamic regime that recently who are responsible for the murder of a vest terribly large and outrageous number of Iranian protesters are that tyranny’s President Pezeshkian and Ayatollah Khamenei.
Even before Pezeshkian , the former , now dead President/tyrant of Iran, when he had military power and is directly responsible for have many innocence ruthlessly murdered. At that time and later he, for giving so many deadly orders was known as the “hangman of Tehran.”
After Rasis had become the President/dictator of Iran he had over a hundred people executed in the short span of time, from January to March, in the year 2022.
All this misery and death –inflecting horrendous evil is keeping within that evil essence of that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran.
Walter Sieruk says
Committing mass murder of innocent Iranian protesters though is so called “security forces ” is something that those evil Muslim despots of that most wicked Islamic tyrannical Islamic regime are very effective at .
A woman interviewed by the Epoch Times 1/20/26. A1, didn’t give an isolated report such murderous atrocities committed by the “security forces’ against the Iranians people has been confirmed by many other Iranians and other sources.
The article reads” Nights in Tehran, Iran, are increasingly violent” an Iranian woman told that newspapers reporter, “She said the security forces often move through crowds on motorcycles firing indiscriminately . She said I n the morning she was bodies in public areas and bold on the streets.”

Not more than two day ago President Trump said “I greatly respect the fact that all scheduled hangings have been cancelled by the leadership of Iran”
Trump should never have had be so gullible in the first place to actually believe those despots lies that they have stopped the mass hanging of the peaceful Iranian progesterone.
For the hanging contunie . Well, President Trump should have known better then to trust the words about “stopping the hangings” of the lying tyrants of Iran . Therefore, the more fool him.

He doesn’t.. he’s playing a game getting ready to strike. Ships moving into the area. God I pray what I’ve read is solid. I’m going to give Trump some time on this one.

Yes, giant aircraft carriers do not have wings. It takes days, even weeks, to arrive at a destination.
You’re correct.
And watching the progress of the fleet should tell a tale.
It “bella” be good.

Although I have been an “Ever Trumper” for over a decade, I suspect the president has become more enamored of snatching Greenland than deposing the mullahs and I’m not happy about that.
