WANA (Jan 05) – Unrest continues in some Iranian cities. The street protests began following a rise in foreign exchange rates and the price of goods. Over the past few days, the intensity of the protests has experienced various ebbs and flows.

 

In this report, WANA News Agency provides a summary of the latest protest situation in Iran from the perspectives of both the government and the protesters:

 

  • According to the Iranian police, the unrest began several days ago and was fully organized.

 

  • All anti-regime groups, under the guidance of the Israeli regime, played a role in inciting the unrest, but the primary role was held by the monarchists.

 

  • The unrest has been pushed toward ethnic regions and the outskirts of cities.

 

  • The Israeli regime has instructed its affiliates to engage in “victim-making” (killing ordinary people) and violence.

 

  • There is a possibility of “victim-making” involving women around Tehran by the individuals involved in unrest.

 

  • Simultaneously, by pushing for strikes and the closure of markets and businesses, rioters intend to worsen the economic situation and increase pressure on the lower classes.

 

  • Trump and Netanyahu have reached an agreement on the necessity of violent unrest in Iran prior to a potential military conflict.

 

  • Trump’s objective in sending the message is to boost the morale of the individuals involved in unrest and make the unrest more violent. The meaning of Trump’s tweet is that the riots will become more organized and more violent.

 

  • The unrest has trended toward armed violence.

 

  • The goal of U.S. and Israeli intelligence services is to create a paramilitary force to challenge [government] authority and security control.

  • Armed movements have intensified in border cities.

 

  • The Israeli regime and the U.S. are seeking a suitable opportunity for a military strike.

 

  • Unrest in Iran continues sporadically and in the form of small groups of young individuals.

 

  • The popular aspect of the riots has trended toward zero, but the organized section of the unrest has intensified.

 

  • The Israeli regime and the U.S., by establishing an “unrest operations room” in the UAE, have declared their goal to be the continuation of unrest at any cost until Trump reaches a decision.

 

  • Israel is focusing on unrest in the Zagros foothills and along the border strips.

 

  • Protesters continue to encourage people to take to the streets.

 

  • The creation of specific scenes using AI by individuals involved in unrest —to add excitement to the protests and attract more people to participate in gatherings—remains prevalent.

 

  • The use of archival footage from the protests related to the death of Mahsa Amini in cyberspace is common these days to incite the public.

 

  • Trump’s messages to Iranians, the Tehran government, and the protesters were not welcomed by Iranians as expected; instead, they have had opposite and negative effects.

 

  • Attacks by the individuals involved in unrest on Shia holy sites, such as mosques, have sparked public anger.

 

  • The arrest of Maduro in Venezuela has, to an extent, diverted attention from the protests in Iran; Iranians are following the events in Venezuela more closely than the news related to the rallies.
