New reporting has delivered a devastating revelation from Iran, alleging that the Islamic Republic deployed foreign militias to violently suppress domestic protests. According to Iran International, Afghan, Pakistani, and Iraqi fighters were brought into Tehran during the January 8–9 demonstrations, which witnesses describe as a massacre carried out under a near-total internet blackout.
Sources say Iran’s IRGC Quds Force coordinated the operation, using fighters from the Fatemiyoun and Zainabiyoun brigades and Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces. Senior security sources claim at least 12,000 people were killed nationwide, with the heaviest toll during those two days.
