Iranian opposition figures told the New York Post that the regime is approaching a boiling point due to public executions, the economic crisis, and the ongoing war. According to the interview, activists are analyzing lessons from the January protests, mapping assembly areas, and establishing infrastructure for another wave of demonstrations. The figures also claimed that the IRGC is using foreign fighters from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to suppress protests, and that any single incident could spark a widespread uprising if the executions continue and the economy does not improve.
The New York Post published an interview Sunday with two Iranian opposition figures who claimed the regime is approaching a 'boiling point' as public executions, economic collapse, and the ongoing war fuel growing dissent. According to the interview, opposition activists are studying the lessons of the January protests, identifying assembly points, and building infrastructure for a new wave of demonstrations. The figures also alleged that efforts are underway to obtain weapons for protesters, including weapons hidden in private homes or smuggled from abroad.
The opposition figures further claimed that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is relying on foreign fighters from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to suppress protests, and that the regime is recruiting teenagers for neighborhood patrols. They warned that if executions continue and the economy does not improve, any single incident could trigger a widespread uprising.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the regime's internal crackdown, including a wave of executions targeting activists and dissidents, as well as the IRGC's increased readiness and deployment of forces. The claims in the interview have not been independently verified. The situation inside Iran remains fluid, with the regime maintaining a heavy security presence in major cities.
