Iran: “What Are Demonstrators’ Demands?”
January 2nd, 2026What we’re seeing in Iran is economic collapse that is now being operationalized by CIA and Mossad for regime change. The old PNAC/Neocon operation never died. It continues to jump between U.S. regimes as necessary.
What’s not clear, at least not to me, is how much support the Iranian regime can muster from Russia and China to try to cling to power.
I can’t imagine that anyone believes that what’s happening in Iran is totally organic, except, perhaps the author of the piece below. It is, however, a useful brief overview. Rest assured, U.S. and Israeli spooks are deeply involved with this.

A protest movement, which began in Iran on Sunday with a strike and demonstrations by Tehran’s shopkeepers, continued Friday in multiple towns and cities across the country, with university students joining the protests.
Demonstrations are spreading from major cities to smaller provincial towns and are increasingly fraught.
At least seven people died on Thursday in clashes between protesters and security forces in western Iran, local media reported.
The Iranian authorities have ordered the closure of public institutions, placing much of the country on holiday, officially citing the cold weather and the need to save energy.
The discontent is not, so far, on the same scale as the unprecedented national protests seen in the wake of Mahsa Amini’s death in 2022, during which demonstrators called for increased rights for women and the overthrow of the Islamic Republic.
But videos posted on social media show demonstrators from different social groups taking to the streets to express widespread discontent and voice demands for political, social and economic change.
