Transcript [00:00] Hey everybody, it is Sunday, January [00:02] 18th, 2026, and this is another update [00:06] on the Iran situation. Now, I know there [00:08] hasn't been a lot in terms of headlines [00:10] in the Western media about Iran in the [00:12] last couple days, and a lot of that has [00:13] to do with the fact that there's such a [00:16] a firm media blackout. The internet [00:20] connectivity has been reduced to like [00:22] about 2% of what it normally is. It's [00:25] very hard to get information coming out [00:27] of Iran. But that doesn't mean that this [00:29] story is over. I know President Trump [00:31] said the killing has stopped and [00:33] therefore he's not going to attack. But [00:35] that is really just a temporary stay. [00:37] We're going to take a look at what [00:39] information we do have coming out and uh [00:42] and talk about, you know, a little bit [00:43] about what this might mean going forward [00:47] uh in terms of what to expect in the [00:49] coming days. So, first of all, take a [00:50] look at this. Iran supreme leader, this [00:52] is from Fox News, Iran Supreme Leader [00:54] acknowledges thousands killed as Trump [00:57] calls for new leadership. [01:00] And this is unbelievable. Here you have [01:01] Iran Supreme Leader has publicly [01:03] acknowledged for the first time that [01:05] thousands of people were killed during [01:07] recent anti-government protests [01:08] according to reporting from the BBC as [01:11] President Donald Trump escalated his [01:13] rhetoric and called for new leadership [01:15] in Iran. He made an address on Saturday. [01:17] He blamed the United States Kame I mean [01:20] uh the supreme leader made uh he blamed [01:24] President Trump for the violence in Iran [01:26] and for the deaths and the Iran the [01:29] US-based Iranian human rights activist [01:31] news agency estimates more than 3,000 [01:34] people were killed. We're going to there [01:36] are some other estimates out there are [01:38] some other estimates out there that are [01:39] even higher [01:41] and uh but this is an unbelievable [01:43] massacre. Just think about what those [01:45] numbers mean um in terms of just how big [01:48] a massacre that is. According to the [01:50] BBC, nationwide internet shutdowns have [01:52] made independent verification difficult. [01:55] Uh as we mentioned before, uh videos [01:58] authenticated by BBC Persian and BBC [02:00] Verify show Iranian security forces [02:03] firing on demonstrators during the [02:06] unrest. Trump told Politico on Saturday [02:09] uh because he's seen a lot of these [02:10] reports that quote it is time to look [02:12] for new leadership in Iran. And he also [02:16] uh mentioned that he saw Supreme Leader [02:18] Kamay's posts on X and Trump said quote [02:22] what he is guilty of as the leader of a [02:24] country is the complete destruction of [02:26] the country and the use of violence at [02:29] levels never seen before. So here's [02:31] President Trump actually calling for [02:34] regime change and um there's there's I [02:38] mean look at this expost here from [02:40] Kamaya. He's really doubling down. The [02:41] recent sedition was orchestrated by the [02:44] US. The US did the planning and took [02:46] action. The US's goal is to devour Iran. [02:49] So here's Kamayi blaming all of this on [02:52] the United States. There are other [02:54] reports coming out. There are doctors in [02:56] Iran who told the Sunday Times. So, this [02:58] is the Sunday Times in England reporting [03:00] that it's well over 3,000. 16,500 dead [03:05] is the estimate there. Uh, and uh, what [03:08] they're doing in terms of killing people [03:10] is also it it it's really shocking. [03:13] Apparently, they've been pulling people [03:16] out of the hospitals and killing them. [03:19] So, take a look at this. Here's a here's [03:21] a video from a uh from an Iranian act an [03:24] Iranian-American activist. [03:27] um giving a report from what is going on [03:29] in Iran. Let's take a look at what he [03:30] has to say. [03:32] >> You do not hate the Islamic regime. [03:33] Their leader Ali Ham Shia Islam in off. [03:36] And let me tell you why. The Islamic [03:37] regime massacred innocent civilians, [03:38] innocent people who were protesting for [03:40] their basic rights, who want regime [03:41] change, right? They really thought [03:43] they're going to kill this revolution by [03:44] bringing in forces, militia forces from [03:47] Iraq, Hashab and Kabulah from Iraq, Zay [03:49] Abun from Pakistan, and Fatimun from [03:51] Afghanistan. So Afghanistan, Pakistan, [03:53] Iraq. If you're going to remember this, [03:56] one on y'all. And uh they allow them to [03:59] kill Iranians. Treason. If you have to [04:01] go bring in a foreign force to kill your [04:03] own civilians, you do not belong there. [04:06] You do not deserve the power and all the [04:09] resources that you're controlling. And [04:11] the international community got to come [04:13] in and take over and destroy this evil [04:15] Islamic regime. And the craziest part, [04:17] not only they shot the people in the [04:19] streets and they killed them, someone's [04:21] uh father, someone's daughter, someone's [04:23] child. Not only they did that, but [04:26] people who got shot and didn't die and [04:29] they were taken to the hospitals, they [04:30] were abducted from the hospitals with [04:32] all the medical devices attached to [04:34] them, taken out, executed on the [04:36] streets, and then their bodies were [04:38] taken to the morg. [04:40] This is demonic. If they worship a god, [04:42] that's demon. If anyone is siding to [04:44] stand with them, they are demonic people [04:47] too. And if they believe in a religion, [04:49] that's a demonic evil religion. I reject [04:51] the notion of whatever these people [04:53] stand for. And if you ever stand with [04:55] them or if you ever want to reject the [04:57] atrocities, the genocide that they [04:59] committed against the Iranians, you are [05:01] complicit. Share this video with whoever [05:03] you can. President Trump, President, [05:06] anyone who has a power in the world, we [05:08] are begging you. I don't like begging [05:10] people, but we are begging you to help [05:12] your audience. We do need military [05:14] intervention right now. Unarmed innocent [05:16] Iranians cannot take on a fully armed [05:18] militia coming from a different country [05:19] and IRGC inside the country killing [05:21] their own civilians. [05:23] This is insanity. This is demonic. We [05:26] need your help right now. Regime change [05:29] for Iran. President Trump, please drop [05:33] those bombs. [05:34] >> Wow. So that's uh that's pretty intense. [05:37] You see here uh the that I mean look at [05:40] that report that they've been taking [05:42] people out of the hospitals who were [05:44] already injured and then executing them. [05:47] And this is not the first time I've [05:48] heard that report. There's been reports [05:50] of that repeatedly over the last week. [05:53] It's been an allout massacre by the [05:56] regime against the against the [05:58] protesters. That doesn't mean the regime [06:00] is getting its arms around this. The [06:02] regime is collapsing. Here's a report [06:04] from Hill Neuer. A breaking senior [06:07] Iranian diplomat at the UN European [06:09] headquarters has defected and requested [06:12] asylum in Switzerland. Reports Iran [06:14] International Ali Reza Jerani Hukmabad [06:18] has the rank of minister at the Iranian [06:21] UN mission in Geneva and he defected. He [06:25] defected so he left the regime. So you [06:27] see that even if the even if the [06:29] protests get quelled, even if this [06:32] martial law and this killing of people [06:34] discourages people from going out into [06:36] the streets and even if there's some [06:38] dying down of the protest, it does not [06:41] necessarily mean that the regime has [06:43] achieved some measure of stability. [06:46] They still there's still a lot going on [06:48] in the streets. There's still uh you see [06:51] people are still setting fires. There's [06:52] still the protests still continue. But [06:56] more importantly, the regime is weaker [06:59] than it's ever been even without US air [07:01] strikes, even without attacks. And in [07:03] terms of the decision not to attack by [07:06] President Trump, I know a lot of people [07:08] were like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go [07:09] ahead and bomb them." And you see that [07:11] the Iranian people, these activists are [07:13] calling on President Trump to come in [07:16] with military intervention. But it has [07:17] to be done wisely. And it's it's not [07:21] necessarily the case that some military [07:23] intervention is what's going to bring [07:25] down the regime [07:27] even though that's what the people are [07:29] calling for. So these are still very [07:30] tense days ahead of us. And here's [07:33] another example uh of of a tweet from [07:36] Kamay. This is actually an old tweet [07:38] from back when uh the Supreme Leader [07:42] Kamay, but it just shows you it just [07:44] shows you uh you know his attitude about [07:46] America. This is back when university [07:48] students in America had all these tent [07:50] encampments supporting kamas. And he put [07:53] out a tweet at the time. This is in May [07:55] 24. Dear university students in the [07:57] United States of America, you are [07:59] standing on the right side of history. [08:01] You have now formed a branch of the [08:03] resistance front and have begun an [08:05] honorable struggle in the face of your [08:06] government's ruthless pressure which [08:09] openly supports Zionists. You know, [08:12] that's that's what the regime stands [08:14] for. So when you see these these um [08:16] these leftists in America who are on the [08:19] side of the Iranian regime [08:22] and you scratch your head wondering how [08:24] could they be on the side of such a [08:25] brutal regime. They have always been on [08:27] the side of that brutal regime. They've [08:28] been on the side of their proxies Hamas [08:30] and [08:32] uh and that's who's really killing the [08:34] Iranian people. It's not it it's not [08:37] merely the Iranian regime itself, but as [08:41] you saw in that video, they're importing [08:43] their Shiite militias from Iraq, from [08:46] Pakistan, from Afghanistan. They're [08:48] importing their Iranianbacked terrorist [08:51] groups into the country to kill [08:53] Iranians. And we talked about this in [08:55] one of our earlier updates because the [08:56] IRGC [08:58] uh personnel are themselves Iranian and [09:01] a lot of the people they'd be shooting [09:02] at are cousins uh are are neighbors are [09:06] people that they know, people that [09:07] they're related to. And a lot of them [09:09] they are Iranian people themselves. It's [09:12] much easier and more brutal to bring in [09:14] these outside mercenaries, [09:18] these other these other militias from [09:20] outside the country and have them do the [09:22] dirty work for them. So, the story is [09:24] far from over. I know that again, we're [09:26] all kind of anticipating what's America [09:27] going to do. Uh, but you see that things [09:30] are still moving in Iran. There are [09:33] still people protesting in the streets. [09:35] There are still atrocities being [09:36] committed by the regime. And as we see [09:38] here in this very encouraging story, we [09:40] have a defection at the very top. One [09:43] of, you know, a top official from the [09:45] United Nations mission, [09:47] the rank of minister at the Iranian UN [09:49] mission in Geneva has defected. [09:51] Hopefully, we'll see more of that. But [09:53] this is a real sign of more and more [09:56] cracks in the regime. And we can only [09:58] continue to pray that the regime that [10:01] the regime eventually falls from within. [10:03] But it seems more and more that without [10:07] outside intervention, without outside [10:09] military intervention, the protesters [10:11] are really outgunned and overmatched by [10:13] the regime. And that could mean more [10:16] atrocities to come. So, we're going to [10:17] continue to bring you updates.
