New York Post • • world
Key Points:
- Anti-regime activists in Iran warn that a revolution could erupt soon due to public executions, economic collapse, and ongoing war, with preparations underway for another uprising based on lessons from January's brutal crackdown.
- Protesters are clandestinely stockpiling crude weapons and attempting to acquire firearms to better defend themselves, motivated by the heavy casualties suffered during previous demonstrations.
- The regime employs foreign mercenaries and has armed teenagers to suppress dissent, intensifying public fear and anger toward the government.
- Economic hardships, including soaring inflation and shortages of electricity and water, are worsening public discontent, even among the middle class.
- Despite uncertainty about the timing, activists believe continued repression and economic decline will inevitably trigger a widespread uprising against the regime.
