Iran Protests: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, has reportedly gone into hiding amid growing fears of possible military strikes by Israel and the United States. In another development, the United States is all set to facilitate the deportation of at least 40 citizens of Iran living in its country.
According to media reports, Khamenei has reached an underground bunker after Donald Trump warned of ‘big forces’ moving in close proximity to Iran. A United States Navy Official commented that USS Abraham Lincoln, the aircraft carrier, and other warship are on its way to reach Tehran.
DON'T MISS
In response to threats by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, General Mohammad Pakpour who is the Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), remarked Iran and IRGC stand firm with the Supreme Leader. Pakpour added that IRGC has its finger on the trigger and would not hesitate to execute the directives and orders of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran Protests-Number Of Casualties
In recent days, a series of videos have emerged showing thousands of dead bodies piled on top of each other from Behesht-e Zahra cemetery, warehouses, Kahrizak forensic halls and hospitals in several Iranian cities.
According to media reports, more than 20,000 protestors and others have been killed in nationwide massacre conducted by the Khamenei regime.
Iran’s ‘Thank You’ Note To India
The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) recently voted to significantly increase scrutiny of Iran. India extended its solidarity toward Iran and objected to it. In reply, Ambassador Mohammad Fathali, the ambassador of Iran to India, issued a rare ‘Thank You’ for objecting to the politically motivated and unjust UNHRC resolution.
Twenty-five members of the UNHRC votes in favour of the resolution while 7 voted against it while 14 stayed absent from voting. The UNHRC urged Iran to urgently stop the arrests and killings of protestors. It also called on the Islamic Republic to prevent sexual and gender-based violence, enforced disappearance, other forms of arbitrary deprivation of life and extrajudicial killing.
Now comes the interesting question – would Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin come to the rescue of Khamenei? Is this the start to World War 3?
